Abstract:

Ppharmalogical and clinical application of water extracts of Ganoderma lucidum have been extensively documented, in short is known regarding its alcohol extract. In this research work, the anti-tumor effect of an alcohol extract of Ganoderma lucidum was investigated using MCF-12 cells. We found that the alcohol extract of Ganoderma lucidum inhibited cell proliferation in a time and dose dependent manner, which might be mediated through up-regulation of p21/Waf1 and down-regulation of cyclin D1. Further, this compound can directly induce apoptosis in MCF-12 cells, which might be mediated through up-regulation of a proapoptotic Bax protein and not by the immune system. Our research suggests that there are multiple mechanisms underlying the anti-tumor effects of Ganoderma lucidum.
