Zhang W, Tao N, Bai L. Polysaccharides from Lentinus edodes prevent acquired drug resistance to docetaxel in prostate cancer cells by decreasing the TGF-β1 secretion of cancer-associated fibroblasts. J Nat Med 2023; 77:817-828.

Abstract
Prostate cancer is one of the most prevalent lethal diseases among men globally. In the treatment of prostate cancer, the limited therapeutic efficacy of the standard non-hormonal systemic therapy docetaxel (DTX) represents an important challenge. Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) play a crucial role in resistance to therapy because of their prevalence and functional pleiotropy in tumor environments. Our previous research revealed that MPSSS, a novel polysaccharide extracted from Lentinus edodes, could significantly attenuate the immunosuppressive function of myeloid suppressor cells and CAFs. In this study, we investigated whether MPSSS could potentiate the efficacy of DTX against prostate cancer by inhibiting CAF-induced chemoresistance and elucidated its underlying mechanisms. The sensitivity of PC-3 prostate cancer cells cultured with conditioned medium derived from CAFs (CAF-CM) to DTX was assessed. The resistance effect induced by CAF-CM was abolished when CAFs were pretreated with MPSSS. Bioinformatic analysis of datasets from the Gene Expression Omnibus database revealed the activation of the transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) signaling pathway in DTX-resistant cells. Based on this finding, we demonstrated that treatment with the TGF-β1 receptor inhibitor SB525334 reversed DTX resistance in CAFs, suggesting that TGF-β1 secreted by CAFs was a crucial intermediary in the development of DTX resistance in PC3 cells. Further research revealed that MPSSS decreases the secretion of TGF-β1 by inhibiting the JAK2/STAT3 pathway via Toll-like receptor 4 in CAFs. Overall, MPSSS might be a potential adjuvant treatment for DTX resistance in prostate cancer.

[PMID: 34069721 PMCID: PMC8161071 DOI: 10.3390/jof7050397] [Citation(s) in RCA: 38] [Impact Index Per Article: 12.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/29/2021] [Revised: 05/16/2021] [Accepted: 05/16/2021] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Macrofungi production and economic value have been increasing globally. The demand for macrofungi has expanded rapidly owing to their popularity among consumers, pleasant taste, and unique flavors. The presence of high quality proteins, polysaccharides, unsaturated fatty acids, minerals, triterpene sterols, and secondary metabolites makes macrofungi an important commodity. Macrofungi are well known for their ability to protect from or cure various health problems, such as immunodeficiency, cancer, inflammation, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, hypercholesterolemia, and obesity. Many studies have demonstrated their medicinal properties, supported by both in vivo and in vitro experimental studies, as well as clinical trials. Numerous bioactive compounds isolated from mushrooms, such as polysaccharides, proteins, fats, phenolic compounds, and vitamins, possess strong bioactivities. Consequently, they can be considered as an important source of nutraceuticals. Numerous edible mushrooms have been studied for their bioactivities, but only a few species have made it to the market. Many species remain to be explored. The converging trends and popularity of eastern herbal medicines, natural/organic food product preference, gut-healthy products, and positive outlook towards sports nutrition are supporting the growth in the medicinal mushroom market. The consumption of medicinal mushrooms as functional food or dietary supplement is expected to markedly increase in the future. The global medicinal mushroom market size is projected to increase by USD 13.88 billion from 2018 to 2022. The global market values of promising bioactive compounds, such as lentinan and lovastatin, are also expected to rise. With such a market growth, mushroom nutraceuticals hold to be very promising in the years to come.

Abstract
Lentinus edodes, an important edible mushroom cultivated in East Asia for thousands of years, has been widely used as food and medicinal ingredient worldwide. Modern phytochemistry studies have demonstrated that L. edodes is very rich in bioactive polysaccharides, especially the β-glucans. Over the past two decades, the isolation, chemical properties, and bioactivities of polysaccharides from fruiting bodies, mycelium and fermentation broth of L. edodes have been drawing much attention from scholars around the world. It has been demonstrated that L. edodes polysaccharides possess various remarkable biological activities, including anti-oxidant, anti-tumor, anti-aging, anti-inflammation, immunomodulatory, antiviral, and hepatoprotection effects. This review summarizes the recent development of polysaccharides from L. edodes including the isolation methods, structural features, bioactivities and mechanisms, and their structure-activity relationship, which can provide useful research underpinnings and update information for their further application as therapeutic agents and functional foods.
