Proteomic Research on the Antitumor Properties of Medicinal Mushrooms
description Medicinal mushrooms are increasingly being recognized as an important therapeutic modality in complementary oncology. Until now, more than 800 mushroom species have been known to possess significant pharmacological properties, of which antitumor and immunomodulatory properties have been the most researched. Besides a number of medicinal mushroom preparations being used as dietary supplements and nutraceuticals, several isolates from mushrooms have been used as official antitumor drugs in clinical settings for several decades. Various proteomic approaches allow for the identification of a large number of differentially regulated proteins serendipitously, thereby providing an important platform for a discovery of new potential therapeutic targets and approaches as well as biomarkers of malignant disease. This review is focused on the current state of proteomic research into antitumor mechanisms of some of the most researched medicinal mushroom species, including <i>Phellinus linteus</i>, <i>Ganoderma lucidum</i>, <i>Auricularia auricula</i>, <i>Agrocybe aegerita</i>, <i>Grifola frondosa</i>, and <i>Lentinus edodes</i>, as whole body extracts or various isolates, as well as of complex extract mixtures.
