Abstract

Elucidation of the in vitro antitumor effects of Pleurotus ostreatus polysaccharides is very important for their future clinical application. In this paper, we use Sarcoma-180 (S180) cells to test the antitumor activity of the mushroom polysaccharides. The S180 cells in freshly prepared mouse ascites were directly treated by water-soluble polysaccharides from mycelium of Pleurotus ostreatus and immediately detected by MTT [3-(4,5)-dimethylthiahiazo (-z-y1)-3,5-di- phenytetrazoliumromide] method. The results can be directly visualized with naked eyes through the color changes. The in vitro antitumor activity of P. ostreatus polysaccharides on S180 cells are dose-dependently and time-dependently. P. ostreatus strains p11, p23, P44, p105 and p176 showed significant inhibition to S180 cell activity under high polysaccharides concentration (1000μg/ml ~ 1250μg/ml), and there are non-significant effects under the middle concentration (750μg/ml). On the contrary, the S180 cell activity were significantly enhanced under low concentration (250μg/mL-500μg/ml). The effects of polysaccharides generally increased during 4-8 treat hours, but remained stable more than 7 hours. However, the strains P23, P44 and P105 enhanced the S180 cell activity for short time processing (4-5h), but inhibited the cell activity for long time processing (6-8h). Among the tested mushroom strains, P44 exhibited the highest inhibition rate (68.4%) under high concentration of 1250µg/ml and treat time of 7-8 hours, P23 had the highest enhancement (119.5%) under low concentration of 250µg/ml and treat time of 8 hours. The antitumor activity of P. ostreatus polysaccharides was dependent on its concentration and treat time, indicating the complicated antitumor mechanism of mushroom polysaccharides and the strict study should be conducted before their clinical application.
