According to the study “Mushroom Extracts Induce Human Colon Cancer Cell (COLO-205) Death by Triggering the Mitochondrial Apoptosis Pathway and G₀/G₁-Phase Cell Cycle Arrest,” published in Archives of Iranian Medicine in 2015, researchers tested extracts from different mushrooms on human colon cancer cells grown in the lab. They found that the oyster mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus) extract was the most effective at killing these cancer cells.When treated with this extract, the cancer cells showed higher levels of caspase-9 and caspase-3 (key enzymes that execute programmed cell death) and increased expression of the pro-apoptotic protein Bax, while the anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2 decreased, indicating activation of the mitochondrial apoptosis pathway.The researchers also observed that the oyster mushroom extract caused the cancer cells to halt their progression through the cell cycle at the G₀/G₁ phase, meaning the cells stopped dividing. This was linked to increased expression of cell cycle inhibitory genes like p16 and p21, which help block progression into the DNA-synthesis phase of the cell cycle. These combined effects — promoting programmed cell death and arresting cell division — suggest why the oyster mushroom extract showed strong anticancer activity in this laboratory model.PMID: 25959910 ...
