ANTI-CANCER STUDIES

Cell line studies

White button mushroom(WB)-derived lectin inhibited the

growth of human colon cancer cells (Yu et.al., 1999).

The hot water extract of WB inhibited aromatase activity and

the growth of breast cancer cells (Grube et.al., 2001).

The 20% methanol-water fraction from WB inhibited prostate

cancer cell growth (Adams et.al., 2008).

The hot water extract of WB induced apoptosis in breast

cancer cells (Martin and Brophy, 2009).

Page 7: AGAINST HUMAN CANCERS - Plant pathologyplantpath.psu.edu/mushroom-industry-conference/52-mushroom-industry...THE ANTI-CANCER ACTIVITY OF AGARICUS BISPORUS AGAINST HUMAN CANCERS Tongtong

Animal studies

Selenium-enriched WB reduced DNA adduct in carcinogen-

treated rats (Spolar et.al., 1999).

WB powder enhanced the natural killer cell activity in C57BL/6

mice, suggesting immune stimulating effects (Wu et.al., 2007).

The 20% methanol-water fraction from WB inhibited prostate

tumor growth in immune deficient mice (Adams et.al., 2008).

Epidemiological studies

Mushroom was found to be one of dietary factors that had a

protective effect against gastric cancer (Kim et.al., 2002).

The consumption of WB with green tea had an inverse

association with breast cancer occurrence in Chinese women

(Zhang et.al., 2009).

The consumption of mushrooms had an inverse association

with breast cancer occurrence in premenopausal women with

hormone receptor positive tumors (Shin et.al., 2010).

LIMITATIONS OF CURRENT KNOWLEDGE

The anti-cancer effect of WB has been examined in limited cancers.

Limited animal model has been reported.

Few studies have focused on the anti-cancer mechanisms.

Additional bioactive compounds remain to be identified.

SUMMARY OF INHIBITION EFFECT

WB mushroom extracts inhibit cancer cell growth in a dose-

dependent manner.

LNCaP prostate cancer cells are the most sensitive cells to the

WB mushroom extracts.

Ethyl acetate fraction has the strongest inhibition on cancer cell

growth.

CONCLUSIONS

Button mushroom extracts inhibit cancer cell growth.

LNCaP prostate cancer cells are the most sensitive.

Ethyl acetate fraction has the strongest inhibition.

The cell growth inhibition may be through apoptosis.

FUTURE RESEARCH

Cell line study

Confirm apoptosis & cell cycle.

Identify the effective bioactive compounds in the extracts.
