[#2020-01] Maitake Konno, Sensuke et al. Chemosensitizing effect of maitake mushroom extract on carmustine cytoxicity in human bladder cancer cells

This study shows that anticancer activity of BCNU is significantly potentiated with PDF in T24 cells. This is rather attributed to inactivated Gly-I and increased oxidative stress. Therefore, PDF appears to have a chemosensitizing effect capable of enhancing BCNU cytotoxicity, which may offer an alternative, improved therapeutic option for bladder cancer.
