不同植物药提取物对灵芝细胞生长和胞内三萜产物形成的影响

研究了不同植物药的水提和醇提物对灵芝深层发酵过程中菌丝量和胞内三萜产量的影响。将不同植物药的水提物和醇提物分别加入到发酵基础培养基中,培养7d后检测灵芝生物量和胞内三萜含量。结果表明,金银花和枸杞子水提物添加浓度为100mg/L时,可促进灵芝细胞的生长（p＜0.05）。连翘水提物对灵芝生长和胞内三萜的形成都有显著促进作用,当连翘水提物浓度为400mg/L时,胞内三萜产量从对照的（192.54±8.99）mg/L提高到（302.52±3.79）mg/L。金银花和枸杞子醇提物浓度为200mg/L时能显著促进灵芝细胞生长;枸杞子醇提物在同样浓度下还能促进灵芝胞内三萜的形成。但板蓝根和银杏叶水提物和醇提物都对灵芝的细胞生长和胞内三萜形成有较强的抑制作用。

Water Extract of Mixed Mushroom Mycelia Grown on a Solid Barley Medium Is Protective against Experimental Focal Cerebral Ischemia

Although the individual consumption of medicinal mushrooms, including Phellinus linteus (PL), Ganoderma lucidum (GL), and Inonotus obliquus (IO), is known to be neuroprotective, the associated mechanisms underlying their therapeutic synergism on focal cerebral ischemia (fCI) have yet to be elucidated. This study aimed to demonstrate the neuroprotective effects of mixed mushroom mycelia (MMM) against experimental fCI. The water-fractions, ethanolic-fractions, and ethyl acetate-fractions of the MMM (PL, GL, and IO) grown in a barley medium using solid-state fermentation techniques were prepared and their protective effects against glutamate-induced excitotoxicity were compared in PC-12 cells. After the identification of the water extracts of MMM (wMMM) as the most suitable form, which possessed the lowest toxicity and highest efficacy, further analyses for evaluating the anti-apoptotic effects of wMMM, including Hoechst 33258-based nuclear staining, fluorescence-activated cell sorting, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) detection assays, were performed. Rats were subjected to a 90 min middle cerebral artery occlusion and reperfusion, after which a wMMM treatment resulted in significant dose-dependent improvements across a number of parameters. Furthermore, measurements of intracellular ROS and levels of antioxidant enzymes revealed a wMMM-mediated ROS attenuation and antioxidant enzyme upregulation. We suggest that wMMM is neuroprotective against fCI through its anti-apoptotic and anti-oxidative effects.     

Ganodermasides C and D,Two New Anti-Aging Ergosterols from Spores of the Medicinal Mushroom Ganoderma lucidum

Two new anti-aging compounds, ganodermasides C and D, were isolated and their structures elucidated. They are novel ergosterols possessing a 4,6,8(14),22-tetraene-3-one unit with unique hydroxylation at C-9. Both of them significantly extended the replicative lifespan of the K6001 yeast strain. Ganodermasides C and D regulated the expression of the gene for UTH1 to prolong the replicative lifespan of yeast.     

Screening of engineered Pichia pastoris mutant with enhanced production of a functional rFIP-glu protein and investigating its potential bioactivities

An engineered Pichia pastoris GS115 with a FIP-glu gene was mutated using ultraviolet (UV) radiation, and a high-throughput screening method was established for screening of high-yield strains. Meanwhile, a preliminary study was conducted to determine the bioactivity of the rFIP-glu. Based on OD₆₀₀ value and the mortality of engineered P. pastoris GS115, the best UV irradiation time was determined. Bradford method and SDS-PAGE method were employed to analyze the concentration and yield of rFIP-glu. Melanoma B16 cells were employed to evaluate the biological activities of rFIP-glu in vitro. Results showed that the protein yield of the best mutant #4-336 screened from 3680 mutant strains increased from 242 to 469 μg ml⁻¹. In vitro assays of biological activity indicated that rFIP-glu had significant toxicity and possessed the ability to affect melanin content and enhance tyrosinase activity in B16 cells. In conclusion, an effective high-throughput screening approach was established for screening mutant strains. The screened mutant possesses a good ability to enhance the production of rFIP-glu, and recombinant proteins display a better biological activity on melanoma B16 cells. The engineered P. pastoris mutant seems promising as a potential source for industrial production of rFIP-glu and should be a candidate industrial strain for further study.     

Genetic transformation and mutant isolation in Ganoderma lucidum by restriction enzyme-mediated integration

A white-rot basidiomycete Ganoderma lucidum has long been used as a medicinal mushroom in Asia, and it has an array of enzymes important for wood degrading activity. There have been many reports about the ingredients which show health aiding effects. In order to analyze gene functions and introduce foreign genes into this fungus, genetic transformation is required. We have successfully transformed G. lucidum to geneticin resistance using pJS205-1 which has the antibiotic resistance genes against geneticin and phosphinothricin. Many different mutants have been generated during the transformation by restriction enzyme mediated integration, and the transformation yield was 4-17 transformants (microg plasmid DNA)(-1). The plasmid was integrated stably into the recipient chromosome, which was confirmed by PCR with the plasmid-specific primers.
