Molecular insights and cell cycle assessment upon exposure to Chaga (Inonotus obliquus) mushroom polysaccharides in zebrafish (Danio rerio).


ABSTRACT: Chaga (Inonotus obliquus) mushroom is considered as one of the most powerful antioxidants across the world. Though the therapeutic effects of Chaga components are well characterized in vitro, the in vivo developmental effects are not elucidated in detail. In this study, we assessed the in vivo developmental effects of Chaga polysaccharides in zebrafish, along with revealing the effects on cell cycle and apoptosis. Chaga mushroom polysaccharides comprised xylulose, rhamnose, mannose, glucose, inositol, and galactose, in addition to phenolic compounds; zebrafish embryos exhibited normal embryonic development upon transient exposure to Chaga extract (24?hours). Most embryos (>90%) were found to be healthy even at high concentrations (5?mg/mL). In addition, staining with the DNA binding dye, acridine orange showed that Chaga polysaccharides alleviated oxidative stress. Flow cytometric analysis using H2DCFDA that specifically binds to cells with fragmented DNA showed significantly reduced levels of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) (p?
