Background: Ganoderma lucidum (G. lucidum) is an oriental medical mushroom that has been widely used in Asian countries for centuries to prevent and treat different diseases, including cancer.Hypothesis/Purpose: The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of A supercritical-CO2 extract of G. lucidum spores on the transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-beta 1)-induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of cholangiocarcinoma cells.Study design: This was an in vitro study with human cholangiocarcinoma TFK-1 cells treated with varying concentrations of G. lucidum.Methods: A supercritical-CO2 extract of G. lucidum spores (GLE) was obtained from completely sporoderm-broken germinating G. lucidum spores by supercritical fluid carbon dioxide (SCF-CO2) extraction. GLE pre-incubated with human cholangiocarcinoma TFK-1 cells prior to TGF-beta 1 treatment (2 ng/ml) for 48 h. Changes in EMT markers were analyzed by western blotting and immunofluorescence. The formation of F-actin stress fibers was assessed via immunostaining with phalloidin and examined using confocal microscopy. Additionally, the effect of the GLE on TGF-beta 1-induced migration was investigated by a Boyden chamber assay.Results: TGF-beta 1-induced reduction in E-cadherin expression was associated with a loss of epithelial morphology and cell-cell contact. Concomitant increases in N-cadherin and Fibronectin were evident in predominantly elongated fibroblast-like cells. The GLE suppressed the TGF-beta 1-induced morphological changes and the changes in cadherin expression, and also inhibited the formation of F-actin stress fibers, which are a hallmark of EMT. The GLE also inhibited TGF-beta 1-induced migration of TFK-1 cells.Conclusion: Our findings provide new evidence that GLE suppress cholangiocarcinoma migration in vitro through inhibition of TGF-beta 1-induced EMT. The GLE may be clinically applied in the prevention and/or treatment of cancer metastasis. (C) 2016 Published by Elsevier GmbH.
