Anti-Cancer Potential of Edible/Medicinal Mushrooms in Breast Cancer
Edit
This entry is adapted from the peer-reviewed paper 10.3390/ijms241210120

Edible/medicinal mushrooms have been traditionally used in Asian countries either in the cuisine or as dietary supplements and nutraceuticals. Among the different pharmacological activities reported (antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidative, antiviral, immunomodulating, antidiabetic, etc.), edible/medicinal mushrooms have been shown to exert in vitro and in vivo anticancer effects on several kinds of tumors, including breast cancer. 

breast cancer edible/medicinal mushrooms

1. Introduction

Breast cancer (BC) is among the major causes of cancer-related deaths worldwide, with 2.3 million new cases per year, according to the GLOBOCAN 2020 data [1]. Projections indicate that by 2030, the number of new cases diagnosed worldwide will reach 2.7 million, while the number of deaths will reach 0.9 million [2] (Global Cancer Observatory: Cancer Tomorrow, accessed on 29 April 2023. Available online: https://gco.iarc.fr/tomorrow). In addition, the incidence of breast cancer is expected to further increase, in particular in low- and medium-income countries, due to the effects of a westernized lifestyle, characterized by delayed pregnancies, reduced breastfeeding, low age at menarche, lack of physical activity, and poor diet [3].

In recent years, the impact of the adverse effects of conventional therapy, as well as the poor results obtained with conventional medicinal approaches, highlighted the need for alternative therapeutic strategies. Among the complementary and integrative approaches evaluated, the combination of conventional medicine and complementary activities, including the use of a wide range of products, such as herbs, vitamins, nutraceuticals, and probiotics, has shown promising results [4][5][6]. In this context, edible/medicinal mushrooms have emerged not only as sources of new nutraceuticals but also as a possible complementary and alternative medicine, showing interesting results as an adjuvant to conventional chemo- or radiation-therapy, enhancing their potency or reducing their side effects, thus improving the patient’s quality of life [7][8].
The antineoplastic effects of mushrooms have been mainly related to their ability to modulate the immune system, thanks to their content in glucans, sesquiterpenes, glycoproteins, or peptide/protein-bound polysaccharides [7][9]. Furthermore, minerals, amino acids, other organic compounds, and several vitamins (e.g., thiamin, riboflavin, ascorbic acid, and vitamin D) are contained in mushrooms and contribute to their overall health benefits [9]. Some of these natural mushroom compounds have demonstrated specific activity against signaling pathways that are aberrantly activated in cancer cells and have been shown to negatively modulate specific molecular targets involved in cell proliferation, survival, and angiogenesis [10][11]. The potential therapeutic effects of mushrooms have been investigated both at the preclinical and clinical levels.

2. Bioactive Compounds in Medicinal Mushrooms and Their Mechanisms of Action

Mushrooms’ bioactivities have been related to several biologically active compounds, including polysaccharides, which are structural components of the fungal cell wall. Polysaccharides have been shown to exert antitumor, immunomodulatory, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antidiabetic activities [12][13][14]. However, specific chemical features, such as the weighted degree of branching, backbone linkage, side-chain units, and the type of constituent monosaccharides, can influence the type and modulation of these biological activities. α- and β-glucans are the most abundant polysaccharides, whereas other glycans, such as heteroglycans, peptidoglycans, and polysaccharide–protein complexes, are known to exert important biological activities [12][15].
Mushrooms are rich in proteins that have cytotoxic and anticancer properties. Some of these are known for their characteristic and marked immunomodulatory effects. These proteins are indicated as fungal immunomodulatory proteins (FIPs), whose mechanisms of action can be diverse [12][14]. Proteins also include lectins, which bind reversibly to mono- and oligosaccharides with high specificity, recognizing and interacting with various carbohydrates and proteoglycans on the cell surface. They are involved in many biological activities, such as innate immunity and cell-to-cell interaction, and their immunomodulatory mechanism varies depending on the origin of each compound. They also have immunomodulatory, antitumor, and antiproliferative properties [12][16].
Other compounds that play a pivotal role in the bioactivities of mushrooms are terpenes, quinones, triacylglycerols, isoflavones, catechols, and steroids. Other fungal metabolites showing interesting biological activities are phenolic compounds, antioxidants with different mechanisms of action (oxygen scavenging, metal inactivation, free radical inhibition, peroxidase decomposition), laccases (copper-containing oxidases), and fatty acids [17].
In the past, high molecular weight compounds (i.e., polysaccharides and glycoproteins) were believed to exert their antitumor activity through the immune response activation, while low molecular weight compounds were believed to directly regulate signal transduction pathways linked to cancer development, progression, and survival. However, evidence has been reported indicating a direct action of certain polysaccharides on tumor cells [7]. Mushroom-derived polysaccharides exhibit potent antitumor activity against several kinds of metastatic cells. Moreover, they show increased activity when used in conjunction with chemotherapy. Mechanistically, antitumor activity is facilitated through a thymus-dependent immune mechanism, which necessitates an intact T-cell component. Polysaccharide class components mainly trigger cytotoxic macrophages, natural killer cells, dendritic cells, monocytes, neutrophils, and chemical messengers that activate complementary and acute phase responses.

3. Edible/Medicinal Mushrooms in Breast Cancer

Several edible/medicinal mushrooms have been studied for their potential antineoplastic effects on breast cancer, which is still one of the main causes of death in the world. The inclusion of mushrooms in the diet has been shown to be protective against cancer [18]. Furthermore, dietary consumption of mushrooms has been associated with a diminished risk of BC [19][20].
