Haematopoiesis radioprotection in Balb/c mice by an aqueous mycelium extract from the BasidiomycetePleurotus ostreatusmushroom

Abstract: The study examined the radioprotective activity of an aqueous extract from Pleurotus ostreatus mycelium administered to Balb/c mice. Male mice were whole-body irradiated on day 0 ((60)Co, at 0.43 Gy/min) and divided into two groups. The extract was administered intraperitoneally to one group (100 mg/kg) on days - 10 to - 6 and - 2 to +1 with respect to the irradiation. The irradiated-control group was injected with saline solution; non-irradiated mice were used as negative controls. The radioprotective effect … Show more

“…In previous studies, we reported the immunomodulating activity of a hot-water mycelial extract from Pleurotus ostreatus against the immunosuppression caused by cyclophosphamide or whole-body irradiation in mice. 32,33 To our knowledge, this is the first report linking some bioactivities of Pleurotus' mycelia with their potential applications in phyto-(myco-) cosmetics. Better insight into the different roles of multiple active compounds and the mechanisms underlying their biological action will accelerate commercial production of novel pharmaceuticals and cosmetic products based on waterextracts from mycelia of Pleurotus sp.…”

“…Polysaccharides obtained from Pleurotus ostreatus possess a wide range of biological activity in vivo and in vitro as radioprotection, preventive effect on recurrent respiratory tract infections and others [15][16][17]. Thus, a significant reduction of cholesterol levels in mice was observed in serum (31-46%) and liver (25-30%) at a dose of 5% of oyster mushroom for all periods (8,16,28, and 52 weeks) was shown [18].…”

“…A bundle of reports concerning oyster mushrooms brings to light the new substances with such properties as an antibiotic, antitumor, antiviral, and anticholesterolic activities (Selegean, Putz & Rugea, 2009). The radioprotective effects of an extract from Pleurotus ostreatus mycelium have been studied by Lauradó et al (2015) and administered in a prophylactic schedule to Balb/c mice. In general, compounds with pharmacological activities that identified in fungi, stimulate different cell populations of the immune system, such as macrophages, natural killer cells, T -cells, and modulate cytokine system as well (Oloke & Adebayo, 2015).…”
