A polysaccharide extracted from Grifola frondosa enhances the anti-tumor activity of bone marrow-derived dendritic cell-based immunotherapy against murine colon cancer Yuki Masuda • Koichi Ito • Morichika Konishi • Hiroaki Nanba Abstract We previously isolated the novel heteropolysaccharide maitake Z-fraction (MZF) from the maitake mushroom (Grifola frondosa), and demonstrated that MZF significantly inhibited tumor growth by inducing cell-mediated immunity. In this study, we demonstrated that MZF upregulated the...

Commonly consumed and specialty dietary mushrooms reduce cellular proliferation in MCF-7 human breast cancer cells Keith R Martin and Sara K Brophy Nutrition Program, Healthy Lifestyles Research Center, Arizona State University, USA Abstract Worldwide, over one million women will be newly diagnosed with breast cancer in the next year. Moreover, breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in the USA. An accumulating body of evidence suggests that consumption of dietary mushrooms can protect against breast cancer. In this study,...

Both common and specialty mushrooms inhibit adhesion molecule expression and in vitro binding of monocytes to human aortic endothelial cells in a pro-inflammatory environment Keith R Martin Abstract Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a leading cause of mortality in the United States as well as globally. Epidemiological studies show that regular fruit and vegetable consumption reduces CVD risk, in part, due to antioxidant activity and immunomodulation since oxidative stress and inflammation are features of atherogenesis. Accumulating...

INORGANIC IODINE CONTENT OF COMMON, EDIBLE MUSHROOMS J. VETTER* Department of Botany, Faculty of Veterinary Science, Szent István University, Hungary The edible mushrooms have different valuable chemical properties (proteins, minerals, aromatic compounds, low lipid and energy contents, etc.) but there are practically no data about the iodine content. The aim of this work was to produce new data on the iodine content of the common edible mushrooms. The inorganic iodine contents of different wild growing (n=49) and cultivated (n=30) mushroom...

Anti-fungal Cell Wall β-glucan Antibody in Animal Sera Ken-ichi Ishibashi, Chikaku Dogasaki, Masuro Motoi, Noriko Miura,Yoshiyuki Adachi, Naohito Ohno β-Glucan is a major component of the cell walls and pathogen-associated microbial patterns of fungi. We previously reported the presence of an antibody which reacts to β-glucan, anti-β-glucan (BG) antibody, in human sera. In livestock and domestic pets, the antibody’s response to fungal cell wall β-glucan is little understood. In this study, we examined the existence and...
