Mushroom of Immortality and Anticancer activity on Prostate Cancers

Updated: Oct 27, 2020

Excellent new study on the anticancer effect on Prostate Cancers by one of our favorite mushroom species, ganoderma lucidum, the Mushroom of Immortality! An excellent mushroom species to complement your diet that is already in our Infinimin® brand!!



Prostate cancer (PCA) is a frequent cancer that primarily affects the men, with a yearly estimate of 10,00,000 new cases and 3 million deaths globally. Basically all men with highly developed disease, who went in the course of androgen dispossession therapy, ultimately pass away because of progression of androgen self-governing metastatic prostate cancer (PCA). Elevated death rate from prostate cancer is connected with vital propagation of the prostate cancer that distributes to far-off organs with fondness to the tissues of bone (i.e. metastasis appears to have a connection to bone tissue, unknown reasons).


Studying the growth feature pathways modified during PCA development may facilitate researchers to expand embattled therapeutic strategies for prostate cancer. In present study, the researchers examined the anticancer potential of Ganoderma lucidum against the prostate cancer (PC-3) cells by inflection of JAK-1/STAT-3 signalling pathway.


The cytotoxicity of G. lucidum against the PC-3 cells was examined by MTT assay (in vitro). The ROS production was monitored by using DCFH-DA staining. The apoptotic morphological alterations stimulatory potential of G. lucidum on PC-3 cells was inspected through the dual staining. The expression of Bcl-2, JAK-1, STAT3, Bax and CyclinD1 proteins were measured by western blotting. The caspase-3 and 9 functions

were condensed by assay kit. Alot of technical jargon that basically talks us through what they did.


The results appear to demonstrate that Ganoderma lucidum convince cytotoxicity, accretion of ROS, and apoptosis stimulation in PC-3 cells. In addition, signal transducer and activating transcription (STAT-3) is a successive oncogenic transcriptional factor that regularizes multiplication and apoptosis in cells.


Discretion of STAT-3 transcription deliberated as original approach to hinder prostate cell growth. In present exploration, we ascertain that Ganoderma lucidum holds back STAT-3 translocation, in that way dropping the eminent expression of, BCL-2, cyclin-D1 and declined the Bax, caspase-3 and 9 expressions in PC-3 cells.


The summary findings concluded that Ganoderma lucidum hinder prostate cell development and convinces apoptosis via hampering the translocation STAT-3.


Another mouthful of technical jargon that speaks to the mushroom and its constituents causing cancer cell death, disrupting growth pathways, and inhibiting multiplication of cancerous cells.


More research is needed, but another great step in the right direction on the anticancer effect on Prostate Cancers by one of our favorite mushroom species, ganoderma lucidum, the Mushroom of Immortality. An excellent mushroom species to complement to your diet that is already in our Infinimin® brand!!


Cheers to your health,
