Inducing lysosomal dysfunction is emerging as a promising means for cancer therapy. Agrocybe cylindracea fucoglucogalactan (ACP) is a bioactive ingredient with anti-tumor activity, while its mechanism remains obscure. Herein, we found that ACP visibly inhibited the proliferation of colorectal cancer cells, and the IC50 value on HCT-116 cells (HT29 cells) was 490 μg/mL (786.4 μg/mL) at 24 h. RNA-seq showed that ACP regulated mitochondria, lysosome and apoptosis-related pathways. Further experiments proved that ACP indeed promoted apoptosis and lysosomal dysfunction of HCT-116 cells. Moreover, ChIP-seq revealed that ACP increased histone-H3-lysine-27 acetylation (H3K27ac) on CTSD (cathepsin D) promoter in HCT-116 cells, thus facilitating the binding of transcription factor EB (TFEB), and resulted in ascension of CTSD expression. Additionally, ACP triggered mitochondrial-mediated apoptosis by decreasing mitochondrial membrane potential and increasing pro-apoptotic protein levels. Notably, Pepstatin A (CTSD inhibitor) availably alleviated ACP-induced apoptosis. Taken together, our results indicated that ACP induced lysosome-mitochondria mediated apoptosis via H3K27ac-regulated CTSD in HCT-116 cells. This study indicates that ACP has anti-cancer potential in the treatment of colorectal cancer.

Accumulating evidence has demonstrated that polysaccharides derived from edible fungi have lipid-lowering effects in mice. However, the lipid metabolism mechanisms in mice and humans are different. We have previously elucidated the structural characteristics of the alkali-extracted polysaccharide CM3-SII obtained from Cordyceps militaris. This study aimed to investigate whether CM3-SII could ameliorate hyperlipidemia in a heterozygous low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR)-deficient hamster model of hyperlipidemia. Our data demonstrated that CM3-SII significantly decreased total plasma cholesterol, non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and triglyceride levels in heterozygous LDLR-deficient hamsters. Unlike ezetimibe, CM3-SII could enhance the concentration of plasma apolipoprotein A1 and the expression of liver X receptor α/ATP-binding cassette transporter G8 mRNA pathway and suppress the expression of Niemann-Pick C1-like 1, which help to reduce cholesterol levels further. Moreover, the results of molecular docking analysis demonstrated that CM3-SII could directly bind to Niemann-Pick C1-like 1 with high affinity. The triglyceride-lowering mechanisms of CM3-SII were related to its downregulation of sterol regulatory element-binding protein 1c and upregulation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α. Importantly, CM3-SII increased the abundance of Actinobacteria and Faecalibaculum and the ratio of Bacteroidetes/Firmicutes. Thus, CM3-SII attenuated hyperlipidemia by modulating the expression of multiple molecules involved in lipid metabolism and the gut microbiota.
Methods: Western blotting, statistical analysis, animal experiments, RT-qPCR, analysis of gut microbiota, alkaline extraction, cell culture Biological activity: In the liver, CM3-SII reduces cholesterol reabsorption and TG synthesis by inhibiting NPC1L1 and SREBP-1c, respectively. Furthermore, this molecule decreases the plasma TG level by enhancing PPARα-mediated fatty acid oxidation. Comments, role: the presumed structure of CM3-SII 3D data: 3D data
