Connect with Lentinula edodes Mycelium
Lentinus edodes (shiitake) has been consumed for more than 2000 years because of its nutritional value and health benefits. It has a low lipid content, high fiber content, and a considerable amount of proteins; it also contains B vitamins and minerals in addition to a wide range of functional metabolites including polysaccharides, polysaccharopeptides, lectins, and secondary metabolites with bioactivity, e.g., lentinan, a β-(1-3)-glucan with immunomodulatory activity, among others. Extracts and pure compounds of shiitake exhibit antibacterial, antifungal, cytostatic, antioxidant, anticancer, and immunomodulatory activity. [1] Some of the compounds shown to be created by Lentinus edodes are truly amazing. AHCC is an α-glucan-based standardized Lentinula edodes mycelium extract that has been extensively investigated as an immunostimulant both in animals and/or in humans affected by West Nile virus, influenza virus, avian influenza virus, hepatitis C virus, papillomavirus, herpes virus, hepatitis B virus and HIV by promoting a regulated and protective immune response. Although the efficacy of AHCC has not yet been specifically evaluated with respect to SARS-CoV-2 disease, its action in promoting a protective response to a wide range of viral infections, and the current absence of effective vaccines, could support its use in the prevention of diseases provoked by human pathogenic coronavirus, including COVID-19. [2]Lentinan, a polysaccharide derived from L. edodes has been widely studied in terms of enhancing immune function. Lentinan is mainly composed of β-glucan with a 1,3 linkage. [3] The immunomodulatory activity and mechanisms of action of lentinan are well known. Lentinan triggers signaling pathways, such as MAPK-NF-κB and Syk-PKC, via binding pattern recognition receptors (TLR2, 4, 6, 9, Dectin-1) and the complement receptor, CD11b. Activation of these pathways stimulates the activity in immunocytes such as NK, macrophages and T cells. [4] Lentinan, Lentinula edodes-derived β-1→3,1→6-glucan, showed anti-inflammatory activity on an in vitro gut inflammation model. Furthermore, Lentinan significantly ameliorated DSS-induced colitis, indicating the potential application in treatment of gut inflammatory diseases such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease [5]
