Effects of Pleurotus Eryngii (DC.) Quél. Mushroom Extracts on Cell Proliferation in Breast and Colon Cancer Cell Lines

Abstract

This study was aimed to collect Pleurotus eryngii (DC.) Quél. edible/medicinal mushroom from Çanakkale/Kumkale and to evaluate the antiproliferative effects of alcoholic extracts on breast and colon cancer cell lines. For this purpose, the Soxhlet method prepared methanol and ethanol:H2O (70:30) extracts by gradually increasing solvent polarities. Then, breast (MDA-MB-231, BT-549, BT-20, MCF-7) and colon (HT-29) cancer cell lines were treated with the extracts in increasing concentrations (0.05-0.5 mg/mL) for 48 h. In conclusion, methanol and aqueous ethanol extracts exhibited significant antiproliferative effects in cancer cell lines, according to the MTT assay. The cell viability in the triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) MDA-MB-231 cell line was highly decreased by methanol extract at a very low concentration (0.1 mg/mL). Furthermore, methanol extract at 0.3 mg/mL reduced the percentage of cell viability in the HT-29 cell line. Aqueous ethanol extract showed antiproliferative activity in breast and colon cancer cell lines at 0.25 mg/mL concentration for 48 h applications. In addition, some bioactive components such as 4-hydroxy flavone, chrysin, and tannic acid of aqueous ethanol extract have been determined by High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) analysis. As a result, this study may increase interest in the studies on the anti-cancer activities and the mechanisms of P. eryngii mushroom.
