Anti-tumor effect of β-glucan from Lentinus edodes and the underlying mechanism
β-Glucans are well known for its various bioactivities, but the underlying mechanism has not been fully understood. This study focuses on the anti-tumor effect and the potential mechanism of a branched β-(1, 3)-glucan (LNT) extracted from Lentinus edodes. The in vivo data indicated that LNT showed a profound inhibition ratio of ~75% against S-180 tumor growth, even significantly higher than the...
متن کاملStructural characteristics of immunostimulating polysaccharides from lentinus edodes.
There is a significant amount of experimental evidence suggesting that polysaccharides from mushrooms enhance the host immune system by activating various mechanisms in immune cells, including macrophages. In this study, polysaccharides from Lentinus edodes were found to stimulate the functional activation of macrophages to secrete inflammatory mediators and cytokines and increase the phagocyto...
متن کاملThe β-glucan from Lentinus edodes suppresses cell proliferation and promotes apoptosis in estrogen receptor positive breast cancers
Breast cancer is now the most common cancer in worldwide women, and novel interventions are needed to overcome the resistance occurring in the estrogen-targeted endocrine therapy. Herein, we demonstrate that the β-glucan from Lentinus edodes (LNT) exhibited a profound inhibition ratio of ∼53% against estrogen receptor positive (ER+) MCF-7 tumor growth in nude mice similar to the positive contro...
متن کاملShiitake (Lentinus edodes)
Shiitake mushroom, the common Japanese name for Lentinus edodes (Fig. 1), derives from the mushroom associated with the shii tree (Castanopsis cuspidate Schottky) and take, the Japanese word for mushroom (Table 1). Because Japan is the world leader in production of this type of mushroom, the mushroom is now widely known by this name. These mushrooms are renowned in Far East countries (e.g., Jap...
متن کاملHomogenate extraction of crude polysaccharides from Lentinus edodes and evaluation of the antioxidant activity
Edible mushrooms are rich in dietary fiber, minerals, vitamins and low in fat (Manzi et al., 2001), and have long been used in folk medicines and health foods. Lentinus edodes, also named Xianggu in Chinese and Shiitake in Japanese, is one of the most widely edible mushrooms on the global market due to its taste and nutritional values (Hatvani & Mécs, 2001). Crude polysaccharides are the most a...
