Liu YS, Lai MC, Hong TY, Liu IM. Exploring the Wound Healing Potential of Hispidin. Nutrients 2024; 16:3161. [PMID: 39339761 PMCID: PMC11434842 DOI: 10.3390/nu16183161] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/24/2024] [Revised: 08/19/2024] [Accepted: 09/14/2024] [Indexed: 09/30/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Hispidin, a polyphenol component mainly derived from the medicinal mushroom species Phellinus and Inonotus, shows promise for biomedical applications, yet its potential in wound healing remains largely unexplored. This research investigates the wound healing effects of hispidin through in vitro and in vivo experiments, while also evaluating its antimicrobial properties and safety profile. METHODS In vitro scratch assays were conducted to evaluate the impact of hispidin on the migration of NIH-3T3 cells. The wound healing potential of hispidin was assessed in rats using excision wounds, dead space wounds, and linear incisions, treated with various topical ointments including a simple ointment, 2.5% (w/w) and a 5% (w/w) hispidin ointment, and a 0.2% (w/w) nitrofurazone ointment, administered at 0.2 g daily for 14 days. RESULTS Hispidin demonstrated antimicrobial properties and was particularly effective against Staphylococcus epidermidis. Hispidin enhanced NIH-3T3 cell viability, and promoted wound closure in scratch assays, correlating with increased levels of FGF21, TGF-β1, EGF, and VEGF. In excision wound models, the 5% (w/w) hispidin ointment improved wound contraction, epithelialization, tissue regeneration, fibroblast activity, and angiogenesis. In the granulation tissue from dead space wound models, hispidin reduced pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β) and lipid peroxidation, while increasing anti-inflammatory cytokines (IL-10) and antioxidant activities (SOD, GPx, CAT), along with connective tissue markers like hydroxyproline, hexosamine, and hexuronic acid. Hispidin also enhanced wound breaking strength in incision models. Acute dermal toxicity studies indicated no adverse effects at 2000 mg/kg. CONCLUSIONS These findings highlight hispidin's potential in wound care, demonstrating its antimicrobial, regenerative, and safety properties.

Initial report on the multiple biological and pharmacological properties of hispolon: Exploring stochastic mechanisms. Biomed Pharmacother 2024; 177:117072. [PMID: 38991301 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2024.117072] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/22/2024] [Revised: 06/15/2024] [Accepted: 06/29/2024] [Indexed: 07/13/2024] Open
Abstract
The development of natural substances derived from nature poses a significant challenge as technologies for the extraction and characterization of active principles advance. Hispolon has received a lot of attention in recent years, ascribable to its wide range of biological activities. It is a phenolic molecule that was extracted from several mushroom species such as Phellinus igniarius, Phellinus linteus, Phellinus lonicerinus, Phellinus merrillii, and Inonotus hispidus. To provide a comprehensive overview of the pharmacological activities of hispolon, this review highlights its anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antibacterial, and anti-diabetic activities. Several scientific research databases, including Google Scholar, Web of Science, PubMed, SciFinder, SpringerLink, Science Direct, Scopus, and, Wiley Online were used to gather the data on hispolon until May 2024. The in vitro and in vivo studies have revealed that hispolon exhibited significant anticancer properties through modifying several signaling pathways including cell apoptosis, cycle arrest, autophagy, and inhibition of angiogenesis and metastasis. Hispolon's antimicrobial activity was proven against many bacterial, fungal, and viral pathogens, highlighting its potential use as a novel antimicrobial agent. Additionally, hispolon displayed potent anti-inflammatory activity through the suppression of key inflammatory mediators, such as inducible NO synthase (iNOS), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and cyclooxygenases-2 (COX-2), and the modulation of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) and nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) signaling pathways. The antioxidant potential of hispolon was attributed to its capacity to neutralize reactive oxygen species (ROS) and to increase the activity of antioxidant enzymes, indicating a possible involvement in the prevention of oxidative stress-related illnesses. Hispolon's antidiabetic activity was associated with the inhibition of aldose reductase and α-glucosidase. Studies on hispolon emphasized its potential use as a promising scaffold for the development of novel therapeutic agents targeting various diseases, including cancer, infectious diseases, inflammatory disorders, and diabetes.

Abstract
Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is the primary treatment for advanced prostate cancer (PCa). However, prolonged ADT inevitably results in therapy resistance with the emergence of the castration-resistant PCa phenotype (CRPC). Hence, there is an urgent need to explore new treatment options capable of delaying PCa progression. Hispidin (HPD) is a natural polyketide primarily derived from plants and fungi. HPD has been shown to have a diverse pharmacological profile, exhibiting anti-inflammatory, antiviral, cardiovascular and neuro-protective activities. However, there is currently no research regarding its properties in the context of PCa treatment. This research article seeks to evaluate the anti-cancer effect of HPD and determine the underlying molecular basis in both androgen-sensitive PCa and CRPC cells. Cell growth, migration, and invasion assays were performed via the MTS method, a wound healing assay and the transwell method. To investigate if HPD affected the expression of proteins, Western blot analysis was conducted. Furthermore, apoptosis was assessed by Annexin V-FITC/PI staining and Western blot analyses. HPD exhibited a favorable pharmaceutical profile to inhibit cell growth; disrupt the cell cycle; attenuate wound healing, migration and invasion; and induce apoptosis in PCa cells in vitro. The mechanistic results demonstrated that HPD reduced AR, MMP-2 and MMP-9 expression and activated the caspase-related pathway, leading to programmed cell death in PCa cells. We showed the anti-cancer effect of HPD on PCa cells and confirmed its feasibility as a novel therapeutic agent. This study provides significant insights into the delineation of the molecular mechanism of HPD in PCa cells and the development of an effective and safe therapy using HPD to eliminate PCa progression.

Abstract
Sanghuangporus sanghuang is a medicinal macrofungus with antioxidant and antitumor activities, and it is enriched with secondary metabolites such as polysaccharides, terpenes, polyphenols, and styrylpyrone compounds. To explore the putative core genes and gene clusters involved in sanghuang biosynthesis, we sequenced and assembled a 40.5-Mb genome of S. sanghuang (SH1 strain). Using antiSMASH, local BLAST, and NCBI comparison, 12 terpene synthases (TPSs), 1 non-ribosomal peptide synthase, and five polyketide synthases (PKSs) were identified in SH1. Combining the transcriptome analysis with liquid chromatography mass spectrometry-ion trap-time of flight analysis, we determined that ShPKS1, one phenylalanine aminolyase (ShPAL), and one P450 monooxygenase (ShC4H1) were associated with hispidin biosynthesis. Structural domain comparison indicated that ShPKS2 and ShPKS3 are involved in the biosynthesis of orsellinic acid and 2-hydroxy-6-methylbenzoic acid, respectively. Furthermore, comparative genomic analysis of SH1 with 14 other fungi from the Hymenochaetaceae family showed variation in the number of TPSs among different genomes, with Coniferiporia weirii exhibiting only 9 TPSs and Inonotus obliquus having 20. The number of TPSs also differed among the genomes of three strains of S. sanghuang, namely Kangneng (16), MS2 (9), and SH1 (12). The type and number of PKSs also varied among species and even strains, ranging from two PKSs in Pyrrhoderma noxium to five PKSs in S. sanghuang SH1. Among the three strains of S. sanghuang, both the structural domains and the number of PKSs in strains MS2 and SH1 were consistent, whereas strain Kangneng exhibited only four PKSs and lacked the PKS with the structural domain KS-AT-DH-KR-ACP. Additionally, Sanghuangporus species exhibited more similar PKSs to Inonotus, with higher gene similarity around five PKSs, while showing differences from those of other fungi in the same family, including Phellinus lamaoensis. This result supports the independent taxonomic significance of the genus Sanghuangporus to some extent.

Abstract
Edible mushrooms have rich nutrition (e.g., proteins, dietary fibers, polysaccharides) and they can be potential sources of important ingredients in food processing. However, the cultivation of mushroom fruiting bodies needs a relatively long time, and they can be easily polluted during the growth process. At the same time, a lot of labor and larger planting areas are also required. As we all know, submerged fermentation is a good way to produce edible mushroom mycelia with less environmental pollution and small footprint, which are also rich in nutrition and bioactive components that are used as dietary supplements or health care products in the food industry. Therefore, it can be considered that the replacement of edible mushroom fruiting bodies with edible mushroom mycelia produced through submerged fermentation has great application potential in food production. At present, most of the research about edible mushroom mycelia focuses on the production of bioactive metabolites in fermentation liquid, but there are few reports that concentrate on their applications in food. This paper reviews the research progress of submerged culture of edible mushroom mycelia and their applications in food products.

Abstract
Colon cancer, a prevalent malignant tumor affecting the digestive system, presents a substantial risk to human health due to its high occurrence and mortality rates. Phellinus baumii polyphenol (PBP), a natural product derived from traditional Chinese medicine, has gained widespread popularity due to its low toxicity and minimal side effects, compared to radiation and chemotherapy. This study used an integrated approach of network pharmacology and experimental verification to elucidate the anti-colon cancer effects of PBP and its potential mechanisms. In network pharmacology, the identification of relevant targets involved a comprehensive search across multiple databases using keywords such as "active components of PBP" and "colon cancer". Venn diagram analysis was subsequently performed to ascertain the shared targets. To identify the key active components and core targets, we constructed a network of "Disease-Drug-Pathways-Targets" and a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network among the targets using Cytoscape 3.9.1. Furthermore, molecular docking was carried out to predict the binding affinity and conformation between the main active compounds (davallialactone and citrinin) of PBP and the core targets (TP53, STAT3, CASP3, CTNNB1, PARP1, MYC). To validate our findings, in vitro experiments were conducted. We verified that PBP exerted an anti-colon cancer effect on human colon cancer HCT116 cells by significantly inhibiting cell proliferation, promoting apoptosis and arresting the cell cycle in S phase by using Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) and flow cytometry. Finally, we determined the key regulatory proteins related to apoptosis and the cell cycle by western blot analysis, and proposed the potential mechanism by which PBP exerts an anti-colon cancer effect by inducing the caspase-dependent mitochondrial-mediated intrinsic apoptotic pathway and arresting the cell cycle in S phase in HCT116 cells. These results suggest that PBP possesses substantial potential for the treatment of colon cancer and may serve as a viable alternative therapeutic strategy in colon cancer treatment.

J Cachexia Sarcopenia Muscle 2023; 14:2226-2238. [PMID: 37562939 PMCID: PMC10570085 DOI: 10.1002/jcsm.13307] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/13/2022] [Revised: 05/29/2023] [Accepted: 07/11/2023] [Indexed: 08/12/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Disuse atrophy is a frequent cause of muscle atrophy, which can occur in individuals of any age who have been inactive for a prolonged period or immobilization. Additionally, acute diseases such as COVID-19 can cause frequent sequelae and exacerbate muscle wasting, leading to additional fatigue symptoms. It is necessary to investigate potent functional nutrients for muscle reinforcement in both disuse atrophy and fatigue to ensure better physical performance. METHODS The effects of Sanghuangporus sanghuang SS-MN4 mycelia were tested on two groups of 6-week-old male mice-one with disuse atrophy and the other with fatigue. The disuse atrophy group was divided into three sub-groups: a control group, a group that underwent hind limb casting for 7 days and then recovered for 7 days and a group that was administered with SS-MN4 orally for 14 days, underwent hind limb casting for 7 days and then recovered for 7 days. The fatigue group was divided into two sub-groups: a control group that received no SS-MN4 intervention and an experimental group that was administered with SS-MN4 orally for 39 days and tested for exhaustive swimming and running on Day 31 and Day 33, respectively. RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) and western blot analysis were conducted on C2C12 cell lines to identify the therapeutic effects of SS-MN4 treatment. RESULTS In a disuse atrophy model induced by hind limb casting, supplementing with 250 mg/kg of SS-MN4 for 14 days led to 111.2% gastrocnemius muscle mass recovery and an 89.1% improvement in motor function on a treadmill (P < 0.05). In a fatigue animal model, equivalent SS-MN4 dosage improved swimming (178.7%) and running (162.4%) activities (P < 0.05) and reduced blood urea nitrogen levels by 18% (P < 0.05). SS-MN4 treatment also increased liver and muscle glycogen storage by 34.36% and 55.6%, respectively, suggesting a higher energy reserve for exercise. RNA-seq and western blot studies from the C2C12 myotube showed that SS-MN4 extract upregulates Myh4 and helps sustain myotube integrity against dexamethasone damage. CONCLUSIONS Supplementation of SS-MN4 (250-mg/kg body weight) with hispidin as active compound revealed a potential usage as a muscle nutritional supplement enhancing muscle recovery, fast-twitch fibre regrowth and fatigue resistance.

Abstract
Hispidin is an important styrylpyrone produced by Sanghuangporus sanghuang. To analyze hispidin biosynthesis in S. sanghuang, the transcriptomes of hispidin-producing and non-producing S. sanghuang were determined by Illumina sequencing. Five PKSs were identified using genome annotation. Comparative analysis with the reference transcriptome showed that two PKSs (ShPKS3 and ShPKS4) had low expression levels in four types of media. The gene expression pattern of only ShPKS1 was consistent with the yield variation of hispidin. The combined analyses of gene expression with qPCR and hispidin detection by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry coupled with ion-trap and time-of-flight technologies (LCMS-IT-TOF) showed that ShPKS1 was involved in hispidin biosynthesis in S. sanghuang. ShPKS1 is a partially reducing PKS gene with extra AMP and ACP domains before the KS domain. The domain architecture of ShPKS1 was AMP-ACP-KS-AT-DH-KR-ACP-ACP. Phylogenetic analysis shows that ShPKS1 and other PKS genes from Hymenochaetaceae form a unique monophyletic clade closely related to the clade containing Agaricales hispidin synthase. Taken together, our data indicate that ShPKS1 is a novel PKS of S. sanghuang involved in hispidin biosynthesis.

Abstract
Cancer is the leading cause of mortality globally. With anticancer medications causing severe adverse effects, understanding the role of alternative and efficacious anticancer treatments with minimal or no side effects can be beneficial. Edible mushrooms have been associated with certain health benefits and exhibit a broad range of pharmacological activities, including anti-inflammatory and immunomodulating activities. The anticancer potential of different mushrooms is now being tested. The goal of this scoping review was to discuss the most recent and available evidence on the therapeutic uses of medicinal mushrooms in cancer treatment, specifically those cancers with some of the highest mortality rates (i.e., gastric, breast, and colorectal cancer). Randomly controlled trials, clinical trials, and retrospective cohort studies (with placebo group) with human subjects published between 2012-2023 were searched using the databases Embase, Ovid MEDLINE, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINHAL), and Alt HealthWatch. The initial search yielded 2,202 articles. After removing 853 duplicate citations, 1,349 articles remained and were screened for study eligibility and accessibility, leaving 26 articles. The inclusion and exclusion criteria were then used to assess the remaining 26 full-text articles and nine articles were selected for the final review. The characteristics of the nine studies reported the efficacy of medicinal mushrooms Lentinus edodes (Shiitake), Coriolus versicolor (Turkey Tail), and Agaricus Sylvaticus (Scaly Wood), in treating symptoms, medication side effects, anti-tumor effects, and survival outcomes in gastric, breast, and colorectal cancers. Findings from this review suggest that medicinal mushrooms have the potential to prevent lymph node metastasis, prolong overall survival, decrease chemotherapy-induced side effects (e.g., diarrhea, vomiting), affect the immune system, and help maintain immune function and quality of life in patients with certain cancers. More research is needed with human subjects using RCTs with larger samples to ensure accurate outcomes and ascertain the most efficacious dosages.

Hispidin in the Medicinal Fungus Protects Dopaminergic Neurons from JNK Activation-Regulated Mitochondrial-Dependent Apoptosis in an MPP +-Induced In Vitro Model of Parkinson's Disease. Nutrients 2023; 15:nu15030549.

Abstract
Degenerative diseases of the brain include Parkinson's disease (PD), which is associated with moveable signs and is still incurable. Hispidin belongs to polyphenol and originates primarily from the medicinal fungi Inonotus and Phellinus, with distinct biological effects. In the study, MES23.5 cells were induced by 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium (MPP+) to build a cell model of PD in order to detect the protective effect of hispdin and to specify the underlying mechanism. Pretreatment of MES23.5 cells with 1 h of hispdin at appropriate concentrations, followed by incubation of 24 h with 2 μmol/L MPP+ to induce cell damage. MPP+ resulted in reactive oxygen species production that diminished cell viability and dopamine content. Mitochondrial dysfunction in MS23.5 cells exposed to MPP+ was observed, indicated by inhibition of activity in the mitochondrial respiratory chain complex I, the collapse of potential in mitochondrial transmembrane, and the liberation of mitochondrial cytochrome c. Enabling C-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), reducing Bcl-2/Bax, and enhancing caspase-9/caspase-3/PARP cleavage were also seen by MPP+ induction associated with increased DNA fragmentation. All of the events mentioned above associated with MPP+-mediated mitochondrial-dependent caspases cascades were attenuated under cells pretreatment with hispidin (20 µmol/L); similar results were obtained during cell pretreatment with pan-JNK inhibitor JNK-IN-8 (1 µmol/L) or JNK3 inhibitor SR3576 (25 µmol/L). The findings show that hispidin has neuroprotection against MPP+-induced mitochondrial dysfunction and cellular apoptosis and suggest that hispidin can be seen as an assist in preventing PD.

Abstract
Hispidin (6-(3,4-dihydroxystyrl)-4-hydroxy-2-pyrone) production in submerged cultured mycelia of the basidiomycete Inonotus hispidus was doubled in shake flasks through irradiation with white light. The daily addition of 1 mM hydrogen peroxide as a chemical stressor and a repeated supplementation of the shake flask cultures with 2 mM caffeic acid, a biogenetic precursor, further increased the hispidin synthesis. These cultivation conditions were combined and applied to parallel fermentation trials on the 4 L scale using a classical stirred tank bioreactor and a wave bag bioreactor. No significant differences in biomass yield and colorant production were observed. The hispidin concentration in both bioreactors reached 5.5 g·L−1, the highest ever published. Textile dyeing with hispidin was successful, but impeded by its limited light stability in comparison to industrial dyes. However, following the idea of sustainability and the flawless toxicity profile, applications in natural cosmetics, other daily implements, or even therapeutics appear promising.

Abstract
For thousands of years, sanghuang is distinctive as a general designation for a group of precious and rare Chinese medicinal mushrooms. Numerous investigations have revealed that polysaccharide is one of the important biological active ingredients of sanghuang with various excellent biological activities, including antioxidant, anti-aging, anti-tumor, immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic, hepatoprotective, and anti-microbial functionalities. For the past two decades, preparation, structural characterization, and reliable bioactivities of the polysaccharides from fruiting bodies, cultured mycelia, and fermentation broth of sanghuang have been arousing extensive interest, and particularly, different strains, sources, and isolation protocols might result in obvious discrepancies in structural features and bioactivities. Therefore, this review summarizes the recent reports on preparation strategies, structural features, bioactivities, and structure-activity relationships of sanghuang polysaccharides, which will enrich the knowledge on the values of natural sanghuang polysaccharides and support their further development and utilization as therapeutic agents, vaccines, and functional foods in tonic and clinical treatment.

Abstract
Phellinus linteus (PL), an edible and medicinal mushroom containing a diversity of styrylpyrone-type polyphenols, has been shown to have a broad spectrum of bioactivities. In this study, the submerged liquid culture in a 1600-L working volume of fermentor was used for the large-scale production of PL mycelia. Whether PL mycelia extract is effective against nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is still unclear. In the high fat/high fructose diet (HFD)-induced NAFLD C57BL/6 mice study, the dietary supplementation of ethyl acetate fraction from PL mycelia (PL-EA) for four weeks significantly attenuated an increase in body weight, hepatic lipid accumulation and fasting glucose levels. Mechanistically, PL-EA markedly upregulated the pgc-1α, sirt1 genes and adiponectin, downregulated gck and srebp-1c; upregulated proteins PPARγ, pAMPK, and PGC-1α, and downregulated SREBP-1 and NF-κB in the liver of HFD-fed mice. Furthermore, the major purified compounds of hispidin and hypholomine B in PL-EA significantly reduced the level of oleic and palmitic acids (O/P)-induced lipid accumulation through the inhibition of up-regulated lipogenesis and the energy-metabolism related genes, ampk and pgc-1α, in the HepG2 cells. Consequently, these findings suggest that the application of PL-EA is deserving of further investigation for treating NAFLD.

Abstract
Sleep disturbances have been the hallmark of the recent coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic. Studies have shown that once sleep is disrupted, it can lead to psychological and physical health issues which can, in turn, disrupt circadian rhythm and induce further sleep disruption. As consumers are trying to establish healthy routines, nutritional and preclinical safety investigation of fermented hispidin-enriched Sanghuangporus sanghuang mycelia (GKSS) as a novel food material for spontaneous sleep in Sprague-Dawley rats is conducted for the first time. Results showed that the nutritional analysis of GKSS including moisture, ash, crude lipid, crude protein, carbohydrate, and energy were found to be 2.4 ± 0.3%, 8.0 ± 2.5%, 1.7 ± 0.3%, 22.9 ± 1.2%, 65.1 ± 3.1%, and 367.1 ± 10.2 kcal/100 g respectively. In the 28-day repeated-dose oral toxicity study, only Sprague-Dawley male rats receiving 5 g/kg showed a slight decrease in feed consumption at week 3, but no associated clinical signs of toxicity or significant weight loss were observed. Although a significant reduction of the platelet count was found in mid- and high-dose GKSS treated male groups, such changes were noted to be within the normal range and were not correlated with relative spleen weight changes. Hence, the no observed adverse effect level (NOAEL) of GKSS was identified to be higher than 5 g/kg in rats. After the safety of GKSS is confirmed, the sleep-promoting effect of GKSS ethanolic extract enriched with hispidin was further assessed. Despite 75 mg/kg of GKSS ethanolic extract does not affect wakefulness, rapid eye movement (REM) sleep and non-REM (NREM) sleep, GKSS ethanolic extract at 150 mg/kg significantly decreased wakefulness and enhanced NREM and REM sleep. Interestingly, such effects seem to be mediated through anti-inflammatory activities via NF-E2-related factor-2 (Nrf2) signaling pathway. Taken together, these findings provide the preliminary evidence to studies support the claims suggesting that GKSS contained useful phytochemical hispidin could be considered as and is safe to use as a functional food agent or nutraceutical for relieving sleep problems mediated by Nrf2 pathway, which the results are useful for future clinical pilot study.

The anticancer effect of extract of medicinal mushroom Sanghuangprous vaninii against human cervical cancer cell via endoplasmic reticulum stress-mitochondrial apoptotic pathway. JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2021; 279:114345.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Sanghuangprous vaninii (Ljub.) L.W. Zhou & Y.C. Dai, known as "Sanghuang" in China, is mainly distributed in the northeast of China. As a traditional medicinal mushroom, "Sanghuang" is medicinally used for resolving the symptoms of gynecological tumors including vaginal bleeding, leucorrhea, abdominal pain and abdominal mass. This mushroom is potential for gynecological cancers therapy. However, there is a lack of scientific evidence on its anti-tumor activity against human cervical cancer, the most common gynecological cancer. AIM OF THE STUDY To identify the anti-tumor potential of the extract of Sanghuangprous vaninii (ESV) on human cervical cancer SiHa cells, and explore detailed mechanisms of ESV inducing cancer cell death. MATERIALS AND METHODS The anti-proliferation effects were evaluated by Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK8) assay. Transmission electron microscope was applied to determined the cellular ultrastructure changes. The cell cycle distribution, quantification of apoptotic cells, mitochondrial transmembrane potential, reactive oxygen species (ROS) level, and cytosolic calcium level were determined by flow cytometer. Western blot analysis was used to explore the alterations in the expression levels of endoplasmic reticulum stress-marked and apoptosis-related proteins. The in-vivo anti-tumor effect was identified by mouse xenograft model. RESULTS ESV significantly inhibited the proliferation of SiHa cells in vivo and vitro. Blocking cell cycle and causing cell apoptosis contributed to cell death induced by ESV. Mechanistically, ESV induced endoplasmic reticulum stress evidenced by the elevated expressions of GRP78 and CHOP, which accompanied by the release of calcium (Ca2+). The Ca2+ overload and oxidative stress facilitated the collapse of mitochondrial membrane potential and subsequently activated caspase-3 and -9, which eventually lead to cell apoptosis. CONCLUSIONS Our results revealed that Sanghuangprous vaninii was effective against human cervical cancer SiHa cells in vitro and vivo. There is a promising potential that Sanghuangprous vaninii might be a candidate for cervical cancer therapy.

Abstract
Background Hispidin (HIP) and its derivatives, a class of natural fungal metabolites, possess complex chemical structures with extensive pharmacological activities. Phellinus igniarius, the most common source of HIP, can be used as both medicine and food. However, the biosynthetic pathway of HIP in P. igniarius remains unclear and we have a limited understanding of the regulatory mechanisms related to HIP. In this work, we sought to illustrate a biosynthesis system for hispidin and its derivatives at the protein level. Results We found that tricetolatone (TL) is a key biosynthetic precursor in the biosynthetic pathway of hispidin and that its addition led to increased production of hispidin and various hispidin derivatives. Based on the changes in the concentrations of precursors and intermediates, key timepoints in the biosynthetic process were identified. We used isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantification (iTRAQ) to study dynamic changes of related proteins in vitro. The 270 differentially expressed proteins were determined by GO enrichment analysis to be primarily related to energy metabolism, oxidative phosphorylation, and environmental stress responses after TL supplementation. The differentially expressed proteins were related to ATP synthase, NAD binding protein, oxidoreductase, and other elements associated with electron transfer and dehydrogenation reactions during the biosynthesis of hispidin and its derivatives. Multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) technology was used to selectively verify the iTRAQ results, leading us to screen 11 proteins that were predicted to be related to the biosynthesis pathways. Conclution These findings help to clarify the molecular mechanism of biosynthesis of hispidin and its derivatives and may serve as a foundation for future strategies to identify new hispidin derivatives.

Abstract
Phellinus Quél is one of the largest genera of Hymenochaetaceae, which is comprised of about 220 species. Most Phellinus macro-fungi are perennial lignicolous mushrooms, which are widely distributed on Earth. Some Phellinus fungi are historically recorded as traditional medicines used to treat various diseases in eastern Asian countries, especially China, Japan and Korean. Previous phytochemical studies have revealed that Phellinus fungi produce diverse secondary metabolites, which mainly contain polysaccharides, flavones, coumarins, terpenes, steroids, and styrylpyranones. Pharmacological documents have demonstrated that Phellinus mushrooms and their compounds have a variety of bioactivities, such as anti-tumor, immunomodulation, anti-oxidative and anti-inflammation, anti-diabetes, neuro-protection, and anti-viral effects. This review surveys the literature reporting the isolation, characterization, and bioactivities of secondary metabolites from the fungi of the genus Phellinus, focusing on studies published in the literature up to April 2020. Herein, a total of more than 300 compounds from 13 Phellinus species and their isolation, characterization, chemistry, pharmacological activities, and relevant molecular mechanisms are comprehensively summarized.

Abstract
Sanghuangporus vaninii, called "Sanghuang," is orally used for health care, tumor, and inflammation treatment in Asia. However, the safety of S. vaninii has not been evaluated. The major compounds analysis showed that aqueous extracts of S. vaninii fruiting body were rich in polysaccharides, nucleotides, and polyphenols. Then, the aqueous was given orally to Sprague-Dawley rats for toxical test. In acute toxicity study, the maximum tolerated dose was 21 g/kg. In 17-week repeated dose toxicity experiment, all rats had no abnormal reaction among control group, low dose group (0.15 g/kg) and middle dose group (1.00 g/kg). At high dose group (6.00 g/kg), the feces began to darken on 16th day (D16), and turned to drug stained stool on D21, all rats recovered on the 3rd day (D92) of recovery period. During the whole experiment, there were no animal death and no treatment-related changes in any of the parameters under the all doses. These results indicated the No-Observed Adverse Effect Level of aqueous extract of S. vaninii fruiting body was 1.0 g/kg.
