Anti-viral Application of Ganoderma lucidum in COVID-19

Abstract: Ganoderma lucidum (Lingzhi), a common medicinal fungus, has been utilized in China since ancient times for health promotion and longevity. It has anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antitumor, antioxidant, and antiallergic activities. The antioxidant and immunomodulatory effects of this mushroom have shown promising impacts in the treatment of some viral diseases. COVID-19 is a life-threatening disease caused by SARS-CoV-2 that has recently been pandemic. Modern medicines have not been very efficient in the direct treatment of these viral infections, and although vaccination is effective in preventing viral infections, the incidence of acute respiratory infection can be reduced only slightly. Thus, alternative therapies are required, and in this regard, stimulating the immune system can be an effective way to prevent these infections. This study reports the potential of natural fungus-derived compounds that can possibly be used to fight SARS-CoV-2 infections.

Integrated metabolomics and transcriptomics reveal metabolic alterations of Ophiocordyceps sinensis from different geographical regions

Ophiocordyceps sinensis is a prized edible and medicinal fungus due to its high nutritional value and broad pharmacological properties. The quality of O. sinensis from Nagqu in Tibet has been regarded as superior to those from other regions. However, the mechanisms underlying these differences remain unclear. This study investigated the metabolic profiles and gene expression patterns of O. sinensis from five major production areas on the Tibetan Plateau in China using metabolomics and transcriptomics. A total of 349 differentially accumulated metabolites (DAMs) and 2983 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified. O. sinensis from Nagqu was characterized by 42 DAMs, primarily including amino acids, nucleosides, fatty acids, and vitamins. Integrated metabolomic and transcriptomic data indicated that DAMs and DEGs were co-enriched in pathways associated with amino acid metabolism, carbohydrate metabolism, lipid metabolism, and nucleotide metabolism. Additionally, the genes ADE5, pgm, purC, IMPDH, ADSS, AK, CarA, CarB, and OMPD were suggested to play critical roles in the biosynthesis of nucleosides, while the genes LSS, CYP51-1, and ERG25 were implicated in steroid biosynthesis. These findings enhance our understanding of the regulatory mechanisms of bioactive compound synthesis in O. sinensis.

Chaga Mushroom Triterpenoids Inhibit Dihydrofolate Reductase and Act Synergistically with Conventional Therapies in Breast Cancer

Inonotus obliquus (Chaga) is a medicinal mushroom with several pharmacological properties that is used as a tea in traditional Chinese medicine. In this study, Chaga water extract was digested in vitro to mimic the natural processing and absorption of its biocomponents when it is consumed as functional beverage, and its anticancer activities were evaluated in breast cancer (BC) cell lines, representing HER2-positive and triple-negative subtypes. After chemical characterization by liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (HR-QTOF) analysis, the effect of Chaga biocomponents on cell viability and cell cycle progression was assessed by MTT assay, FACS analysis, and Western blot. Dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) activity was measured by an enzymatic assay. Four highly bioactive triterpenoids (inotodiol, trametenolic acid, 3-hydroxy-lanosta-8,24-dien-21-al, and betulin) were identified as the main components, able to decrease BC cell viability and block the cell cycle in G0/G1 by inducing the downregulation of cyclin D1, CDK4, cyclin E, and phosphorylated retinoblastoma protein. DHFR was identified as their crucial target. Moreover, bioactive Chaga components exerted a synergistic action with cisplatin and with trastuzumab in SK-BR-3 cells by inhibiting both HER2 and HER1 activation and displayed an immunomodulatory effect. Thus, Inonotus obliquus represents a source of triterpenoids that are effective against aggressive BC subtypes and display properties of targeted drugs.

Biochemical Analysis of Fruiting Bodies of Cordyceps Militaris Grown on Brown Rice

Cordyceps militaris is a medicinal fungus known for its diverse biofunctional properties. This subject has been extensively analyzed over the past decade. The diverse pharmacological potential of C. militaris has garnered significant global interest recently. This research aims to determine the proximate composition of in vitro cultivated C. militaris fruit bodies. The analysis of proximate composition included measurements of crude protein, fat, crude fiber, ash, total carbohydrate, and moisture content. The research focused on quantifying the overall nutritional value of the fruit bodies and evaluating biological efficiency, in addition to key bioactive compounds including cordycepin, ergosterol, and Vitamin D2. The results demonstrated that the carbohydrate content constituted 47.67% of dry weight, the protein content was 30.41%, and the fiber content accounted for 15%. The fruit bodies contained 39.82 mg/kg of cordycepin and 61.73 mg/100g of ergosterol, whereas vitamin D2 was absent in the cordyceps mushroom sample. The findings demonstrate that in-vitro-cultivated C. militaris fruit bodies exhibit considerable nutritional and therapeutic potential.

Phosphatidic acid directly activates mTOR and then regulates SREBP to promote ganoderic acid biosynthesis under heat stress in Ganoderma lingzhi.

Ganoderic acids (GAs), a class of secondary metabolites produced by the traditional medicinal mushroom Ganoderma, are a group of triterpenoids with superior biological activities. Heat stress (HS) is one of the most important environmental abiotic stresses. Understanding how organisms sense temperature and integrate this information into their metabolism is important for determining how organisms adapt to climate change and for applying this knowledge to breeding. We previously reported that HS induced GA biosynthesis, and phospholipase D (PLD)-mediated phosphatidic acid (PA) was involved in HS-induced GA biosynthesis. We screened a proteome to identify the PA-binding proteins in G. lingzhi. We reported that PA directly interacted with mTOR and positively correlated with the ability of mTOR to promote GA biosynthesis under HS. The PA-activated mTOR pathway promoted the processing of the transcription factor sterol regulatory element-binding protein (SREBP) under HS, which directly activated GA biosynthesis. Our results suggest that SREBP is an intermediate of the PLD-mediated PA-interacting protein mTOR in HS-induced GA biosynthesis. Our report established the link between PLD-mediated PA production and the activation of mTOR and SREBP in the HS response and HS-induced secondary metabolism in filamentous fungi.

Antidiabetic activity of Inonotus obliquus water extract in alloxan-induced diabetic mice.

The Inonotus obliquus is a medicinal mushroom that grows on mature birch trees and is commonly used in traditional medicine for various ailments. The current study aimed to explore the hypoglycemic, hypolipidemic, and pancreatic protective effects of the water extract of Mongolian natural Inonotus obliquus on alloxan-induced diabetic mice. Alloxan monohydrate (200 mg/kg) was intraperitoneally single injected into C57BL/6 mice to induce diabetes. Alloxan-induced diabetic mice were orally given the water extract of inonotus obliquus (WEIO) at doses of 500 mg/kg and subcutaneously administered with insulatard 0.6 IU for 4weeks. Subsequently, the levels of factors related to blood glucose, insulin and lipids were assessed. WEIO significantly restored body weight, reduced fasting blood glucose levels, improved glucose tolerance ability, and increased insulin levels compared to the control diabetic mice. WEIO also enhanced cholesterol transportation in the liver, correlated with increased HDL-C levels and decreased TC, TG and LDL-C levels. Histologic examinations revealed that WEIO alleviated alloxan-induced pancreatic tissue damage. Natural Mongolian I. Obliquus water extracts have an antihyperglycemic effect and enhance islet cell function in alloxan-induced diabetic mice. It is a good candidate for a hypoglycemic functional food or medicine.

Antioxidant, neuroprotective, and neuroblastoma cells (SH-SY5Y) differentiation effects of melanins and arginine-modified melanins from Daedaleopsis tricolor and Fomes fomentarius.

Microbial melanins possess a broad spectrum of biological activities. However, there is little understanding of their neuroprotective and neuronal cell differentiation properties. This study aimed to extract, purify, and modify melanins from two medicinal fungi (Daedaleopsis tricolor and Fomes fomentarius), and to evaluate their antioxidant activity, as well as their cell protective ability against neurotoxins. In addition, the study also investigated the feasibility of combining melanins or modified melanins with retinoic acid (RA) to induce neuronal differentiation. Melanin was extracted and purified using alkaline acid-based methods. Antioxidant activities and neuroprotective effects were evaluated using the DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) and MTT (3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5 diphenyl tetrazolium bromide) assays, respectively. In addition, morphological changes of SH-SY5Y cells were recorded by using a Pannoramic MIDI scanner. All melanins and arginine-modified melanins displayed mild DPPH scavenging activities, which were statistically lower than that of ascorbic acid (p < 0.05). In terms of neuroprotection, both melanins and arginine-modified melanins exhibited significant cell protection against H2O2 after 24h exposure (p < 0.05). Notably, there is no significant difference between F. fomentarius melanin and its modified form as they both increased cell viability by about 20%. Contrarily, while D. tricolor melanin enhanced the cell viability with 16%, its modified form increased the cell viability with 21%. These activities, however, are significantly lower than the positive control (N-acetylcysteine, p < 0.05). Regarding MPTP, only the arginine-modified melanins of the two fungi significantly protected the cells after 24h exposure to the toxin (p < 0.05). Specifically, F. fomentarius and D. tricolor modified melanins enhanced the cell viability with 10.2% and 11.1%, respectively, whereas that of the positive control was 13.2%. Interestingly, combining RA (10 µM) with 20µg/mL of either F. fomentarius, or especially D. tricolor arginine-modified melanin, significantly promoted neuroblastoma cell differentiation into mature neuronal cells compared to using RA alone (p < 0.05). The arginine-modified melanins of D. tricolor and F. fomentarius have potential for neuroprotection against Parkinsonian neurotoxins. In addition, the arginine-modified melanin of D. tricolor may serve as an excellent material for research in neuroblastoma treatment.

Transcriptome and Metabolome Analysis Reveals the Effect of Temperature on the Vegetative Mycelium of Morchella sextelata

Morchella, a highly valued medicinal and edible mushrooms, is experiencing an increasing demand; however, its cultivation is significantly influenced by climatic conditions and soil characteristics. Consequently, elucidating the mechanisms underlying Morchella mycelium’s response to temperature stress holds substantial importance for enhancing Morchella cultivation practices. In this study, we used Morchella sextelata as the research object and employed integrated transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses to evaluate the effects of cultivation temperatures set at 33 °C, 20 °C, and 4 °C on the vegetative mycelium of Morchella. Through these comprehensive analyses, we identified 2998 differentially expressed genes alongside 678 differentially accumulated metabolites. Utilizing Weighted Gene Co-expression Network Analysis (WGCNA), we constructed a co-expression network that revealed hub genes and metabolites within each module. Furthermore, through KEGG pathway analysis, we pinpointed significant metabolic pathways responsive to temperature stress—particularly those involved in purine metabolism, RNA degradation, two-component systems, ABC transporters, and pyruvate metabolism. Overall findings indicated that elevated temperatures exerted a more pronounced effect on M. sextelata mycelium compared to lower temperatures. These insights enhance our comprehension of the adaptive mechanisms of M. sextelata to thermal variations while providing valuable references for optimizing environmental temperature regulation in their cultivation as well as offering clues for selecting varieties capable of thriving under diverse thermal conditions.

Water-Soluble Intracellular Polysaccharides (IPSW-2 to 4) from Phellinus igniarius Mycelia: Fractionation, Structural Elucidation, and Antioxidant Activity

Phellinus igniarius is a medicinal fungus. Nonetheless, research on its water-soluble intracellular polysaccharides (IPSW-2 to 4) fractionation, structural elucidation, and antioxidant activity is limited. In this study, water-soluble intracellular polysaccharides (IPSW-2 to 4) were extracted and fractionated from P. igniarius mycelia, and their antioxidant and structural properties were assessed using GC-FID, GC-MS, FTIR, and NMR spectroscopy (1H and 13C). In the water-eluted P. igniarius polysaccharide fractions (IPS30W, IPS60W, and IPS80W) of anion-exchange chromatography, the polysaccharide content was 79.05%, 68.25%, and 62.06%, with higher yields of 25.07%, 21.38%, and 20.34%, respectively. In contrast, the salt (NaCl) elution fractions (IPS30S1, IPS60S1, IPS60S2, and IPS80S1) of anion-exchange chromatography had lower polysaccharide content and yield. Hence, water elution fractions (IPS30W, IPS60W, and IPS80W) were selected for further purification. After repeated purification using size-exclusion chromatography, IPSW-2 to 4 were obtained with a yield of 8% to 15.83%. The IPSW-2 to IPSW-4 structures were elucidated, and they showed no triple helical conformation. Based on periodate oxidation, Smith degradation, methylation analysis, and 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy, the primary structures of IPSW-2, IPSW-3, and IPSW-4 were all glucan, with the main chain consisting of (1→6)-α-D-Glcp, (1→3,4)-α-D-Glcp, and (1→3, 6)-α-D-Glcp, with α-D-Glcp as a side chain. Finally, antioxidant analysis showed that IPS30W, IPS60W, and IPS80W were all more capable of scavenging superoxide anions than the polysaccharides of Phyllostachys (13.8%) and floribunda (15.1%) at the same concentration (0.40 mg/mL). This will serve as a guide for the development of functional foods.

Aims: Sanghuangporus vaninii (S. vaninii) is a rare medicinal mushroom that is rich in polysaccharides, triterpenes, flavonoids, and other bioactive compounds. It has good potential development value. Methods and Results: We performed single factor experiments and Box-Behnken response surface methodology to optimize the liquid fermentation medium formulation for S. vaninii with mycelial biomass as the indicator. The in vitro antioxidant and anti-cancer capacity of the exopolysaccharides of S. vaninii were estimated. The optimal liquid fermentation media composition for the MS-4, MS-6, and MS-8 strains of Sanghuangporus vaninii consisted of 25.86 ± 0.068 g/L maltose, 7.3 ± 0.043 g/L yeast extract, and 0.71 ± 0.005 g/L dandelion powder. The average mycelial biomass of S. vaninii under optimal conditions was 12.61 g/L. The mycelial biomass of the Sanghuangporus vaninii strains in the optimized formulation was 109–191% higher than that obtained with the basic potato dextrose broth (PDB). The exopolysaccharides of Sanghuangporus vaninii exhibited an ABTS radical scavenging activity with an EC50 of 0.021 ± 0.017 mg/mL and a DPPH radical scavenging activity with an EC50 of 0.076 ± 0.043 mg/mL. In anti-cancer assays, these exopolysaccharides demonstrated an IC50 value of 1.98 ± 0.36 mg/mL against PC-3 human prostate cancer cells, indicating significant bioactivity, highlighting their potential as functional food ingredients. Conclusions: In this study, the formula of liquid fermentation of S. vaninii strains was optimized, which lays a theoretical foundation for increasing the yield of S. vaninii and its application in industry. Moreover, our data showed the clinical potential of the S. vaninii exopolysaccharides as antioxidants and anti-cancer drugs.

Discriminate shiitake mushroom (Lentinus edodes) from different origins by lipidomics based on UHPLC-QE HR-AM/MS/MS

Shiitake mushroom (Lentinus edodes), as a prestigious edible mushroom and one of the most famous medicinal mushrooms, is cultivated in several regions of China. In this study, the total lipids of shiitake mushroom from different origins were characterized by ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-Exactive-Orbitrap MS/MS (UHPLC-QE Orbitrap/MS/MS). Twenty lipids and 174 lipid molecular species were determined by non-targeted lipodomics analysis. The multivariate analysis showed that 19 lipids were screened as potential markers for distinguishing shiitake mushroom of different origins, for instance, phosphatidic acid (18:2/18:2) (PA 18:2/18:2) and phosphatidylglycerol (16:0/18:2) (PG 16:0/18:2). And the Partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) model reconstructed was used to distinguish shiitake mushroom from different regions with a success rate of 100%. This work comprehensively provided the lipid information of shiitake mushroom and demonstrated the great potential of authenticity traceability of shiitake mushroom from different origins from the perspective of lipidomics.

Structural characterization and potential antitumor and immunostimulatory activities of mycelial polysaccharides from Ophiocordyceps gracilis

Ophiocordyceps gracilis (O. gracilis), the same genus as Ophiocordyceps sinensis, has been used as an edible medicinal fungus for many years. However, the active ingredients of O. gracilis polysaccharides remain relatively unknown. To address this, a 310.1kDa novel polysaccharide (PDP-1a) was isolated from O. gracilis. The structural characteristics of PDP-1a were determined by different spectroscopy analyses, revealing that PDP-1a was α-glucan homologs with →4)-α-Glcp(1→ as the main chain. Furthermore, PDP-1a inhibited tumor cell proliferation, particularly in the A549 cell line, with a cell death mechanism involving cell cycle blockage, mitochondrial membrane potential reduction, and increased reactive oxygen species, thereby leading to apoptosis. Importantly, PDP-1a promotes antitumor cytokine secretion and enhances macrophage phagocytosis concentration-dependently. These findings provide a theoretical foundation for the use of O. gracilis and emphasize the potential application of PDP-1a in antitumor immunomodulatory therapy.

Hericium erinaceus Extract Induces Apoptosis via PI3K/AKT and RAS/MAPK Signaling Pathways in Prostate Cancer Cells.

Prostate cancer (PCa) is increasing globally, surpassing lung cancer in incidence. Despite available treatment options, prostate cancer remains incurable. Hence, novel therapeutic strategies are urgently needed to treat PCa. Hericium erinaceus (HE), a medicinal mushroom, offers diverse therapeutic benefits. We examined HE's effects on PCa cells, preparing an ethanol extract and identifying its volatile compounds through GC-MS. MTT assay assessed cell viability, while specific inhibitors and western blotting explored HE's impact on PI3K/AKT and RAS/MAPK pathways. Flow cytometry and ELISA evaluated apoptosis induction. HE showed concentration- and time-dependent cytotoxicity on PCa cells with minimal effects on normal cells. Mechanistically, HE suppressed PI3K/AKT and RAS/MAPK pathways, reducing phosphorylated protein levels. Moreover, it induced PCa cell apoptosis. These findings suggest HE as a potential therapeutic for prostate cancer, shedding light on its cytotoxic and apoptotic effects for further investigation.

Comparison of Nutritional and Medicinal Ingredients Between Ganoderma leucocontextum and G. lucidum

The genus Ganoderma is a widely used medicinal fungus in East Asia. The main medicinal components are triterpenoids, polyphenols, and polysaccharides. Bitterness is an important commercial trait for Ganoderma. White Lingzhi (G. leucocontextum) is less bitter. But the characteristics of its nutritional and medicinal ingredients are still unclear, which undoubtedly limits its commercialization. In this study, the medicinal ingredients of Lingzhi and white Lingzhi were extracted and quantified. The structure and antioxidant activities of purified polysaccharides were determined. At the same time, their nutritional differences were compared. White Lingzhi contains more medicinal ingredients and its polysaccharide is more active. The higher protein content may be one of the reasons for weaker bitterness in white Lingzhi. The nutritional and medicinal traits of white Lingzhi were described for the first time in this study, which provides fundamental knowledge to support the development of white Lingzhi.

Ganoderic acids (GAs) are one of the most abundant triterpenoids found in G. lucidum, garnering significant attention from researchers in the fields of medicine and health care. We summarize the extensive studies on the physiological function of GAs in anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, radiation protection, anti-aging, liver protection, anti-microbial, and neuroprotection areas, among others. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the recent advances in the bioactivities and pharmacological mechanisms of GAs, aiming to delineate the current research directions and the state of the art in this field. This analysis helps to rapidly identify new bioactivities of GAs and understand their mechanisms, leading to more effective treatments for various diseases.

Effects of light quality on agronomic traits, antioxidant capacity and nutritional composition of Sarcomyxa Edulis

Sarcomyxa edulis, a notable edible and medicinal mushroom indigenous to northeast China, is celebrated for its high nutritional value and delightful taste. In this study, white light as a control and examined the effects of red, green, and blue light on the agronomic traits, antioxidant capabilities, and nutritional composition of S. edulis. The results showed that different monochromatic light qualities affected the color of S. edulis pileus, with blue light demonstrating particular efficacy. Furthermore, blue light also regulated pileus length, whereas red light was instrumental in significantly increasing stalk length. Regarding antioxidant capacity, compared with red and green light, the activities of POD, SOD, and CAT were significantly improved by blue light irradiation, decreased MDA levels, and improved free radical scavenging potential. Additionally, blue light exposure led to an increase in the contents of 15 amino acids. Green light treatment reduced the crude fat content. For the first time, we found that light quality is a key factor in controlling the color of S. edulis. Blue light is an effective way to regulate the color and pileus size of S. edulis, and improve the antioxidant properties. The photobiological characteristics and the response of nutritional quality to light environment of S. edulis were clarified.
