Abstract

Breast cancer is one of the most prominent causes of mortality among women worldwide due to factors such as aggressive behavior of the cancer and resistance to chemotherapeutic agents. Resistance to chemotherapeutic drugs in cancer treatment is a common phenomenon, especially in progressive diseases with a high prevalence. Therefore the current study aimed to demonstrate the anti-cancer effects of GL on MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 cell lines.
We showed the effect of GL on cell proliferation using the MTS method, its effect on clone formation with a clonogenic test, and we also evaluated whether the apoptotic pathway was activated by western blot.
GL significantly inhibited cell proliferation depending on the dose in MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 cell lines and it significantly reduced the number of colonies compared to non-treated cells. In addition, GL induced the initiation of apoptosis in MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 cells, as evidenced by an enhanced level of caspase-8 and caspase-9 and decreased expression of PARP.
These results demonstrated the molecular mechanism underlying the anti-cancer effects of GL, suggesting that GL might be useful in anticancer therapy. Novel products, such as GL, undoubtedly have promise for the future.

Ganoderma lucidum Fruiting Body Dry Extract, meme kanseri hücre proliferasyonunu inhibe eder ve hem kaspaz-8 hem de kaspaz-9'u aktive ederek apoptozu indükler.

Abstract

Meme kanseri, agresif davranışı ve kemoterapötik ajanlara direnç gibi faktörler nedeniyle dünya çapında kadınlar arasında en önemli ölüm nedenlerinden biridir. Kanser tedavisinde kemoterapötik ilaçlara direnç, özellikle prevalansı yüksek olan ilerleyici hastalıklarda sık görülen bir olgudur. Bu nedenle mevcut çalışma, GL'nin MDA-MB-231 ve MCF-7 hücre hatları üzerindeki anti-kanser etkilerini göstermeyi amaçladı.
GL'nin hücre proliferasyonu üzerindeki etkisini MTS yöntemi ile, klon oluşumu üzerindeki etkisini klonojenik test ile gösterdik ve ayrıca apoptotik yolun aktive edilip edilmediği western blot yöntemi ile değerlendirdi.
GL, MDA-MB-231 ve MCF-7 hücre hatlarında doza bağlı olarak hücre proliferasyonunu önemli ölçüde inhibe etti ve tedavi edilmemiş hücrelere kıyasla koloni sayısını önemli ölçüde azalttı. Ek olarak, GL’nin, MDA-MB-231 ve MCF-7 hücrelerinde apoptozu indüklediği artan kaspaz-8 ve kaspaz-9 seviyesi ve azalmış PARP ekspresyonu ile kanıtlandı.
Bu sonuçlar, GL'nin antikanser etkilerinin altında yatan moleküler mekanizmayı gösterdi ve GL'nin antikanser tedavisinde faydalı olabileceğini düşündürdü. GL gibi yeni ürünler şüphesiz gelecek vaat ediyor.
