Nephroprotective Effect of Pleurotus ostreatus and Agaricus bisporus Extracts and Carvedilol on Ethylene Glycol-Induced Urolithiasis: Roles of NF-κB, p53, Bcl-2, Bax and Bak.

ABSTRACT: This study was designed to assess the nephroprotective effects of Pleurotus ostreatus and Agaricus bisporus aqueous extracts and carvedilol on hyperoxaluria-induced urolithiasis and to scrutinize the possible roles of NF-κB, p53, Bcl-2, Bax and Bak. Phytochemical screening and GC-MS analysis of mushrooms' aqueous extracts were also performed and revealed the presence of multiple antioxidant and anti-inflammatory components. Hyperoxaluria was induced in Wistar rats through the addition of 0.75% (v/v) ethylene glycol in drinking water for nine weeks. The ethylene glycol-administered rats were orally treated with Pleurotus ostreatus and Agaricus bisporus aqueous extracts (100 mg/kg) and carvedilol (30 mg/kg) daily during the last seven weeks. The study showed that Pleurotus ostreatus, Agaricus bisporus and carvedilol all successfully inhibited ethylene glycol-induced histological perturbations and the elevation of serum creatinine, serum urea, serum and urinary uric acid, serum, urinary and kidney oxalate, urine specific gravity, kidney calcium, kidney NF-κB, NF-κB p65, NF-κB p50, p53, Bax and Bak expressions as well as serum TNF-α and IL-1β levels. Moreover, the treatment decreased the reduction in urinary creatinine, urinary urea, ratios of urinary creatinine to serum creatinine and urinary urea to serum urea, Fex Urea and Bcl-2 expression in kidney. In conclusion, although Pleurotus ostreatus and Agaricus bisporus extracts and carvedilol all significantly inhibited the progression of nephrolithiasis and showed nephroprotective effects against ethylene glycol-induced kidney dysfunction, Pleurotus ostreatus and Agaricus bisporus seemed to be more effective than carvedilol. Moreover, the nephroprotective effects may be mediated via affecting NF-κB activation, extrinsic apoptosis and intrinsic apoptosis pathways.

Project description:BackgroundFungi are rich source of biologically active metabolites aimed for the improvement of human health through the prevention of various diseases, including infections and inflammatory disorders.AimWe aimed to in vitro examine the anti-SARS CoV-2 activity of the aqueous extract of each Pleurotus (P.) ostreatus, Lentinula (L.) edodes and Agaricus (A.) bisporus edible mushroom followed by docking analysis of certain metabolites against the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)-main protease (protease Mpro).MethodsAntiviral and cytotoxic effects were tested on hCoV-19/Egypt/NRC-3/2020/Vero-E6 cells and analyzed via (3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide Assay (MTT) assay. Ligand-protein and protein-protein docking studies were performed to explore the interaction of different mushroom extracts at the binding site of protease Mpro. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were performed on the most promising ligand-target complexes to investigate their dynamic properties and confirm docking results.ResultsSubstantial antiviral activities with an IC50 of 39.19, 26.17, and 10.3.3 µg/mL and a selectivity index (SI) of 4.34, 3.44, and 1.5 for P. ostreatus, L. edodes and A. bisporus, were observed, respectively. Docking analysis revealed that, catechin from three mushroom isolates, chlorogenic acid from A. bisporus, kamperferol of P. ostreatus and quercetin from L. edodes, with a C-DOCKER interaction energy in the range of 22.8-37.61 (Kcal/mol) with protease compared to boceprevir ligand of 41.6 (Kcal/mol). Docking of superoxide dismutase, catalase from the three mushrooms, tyrosinase from A. bisporus showed ligand contact surface area with the protein as 252.74 Å2 while receptor contact surface area was 267.23 Å2.ConclusionP. ostreatus, L. edodes and A. bisporus have potential and remarkable in vitro antiviral activities against SARS-CoV-2. Quercetin from L. edodes, Kaempferol from P. ostreatus, chlorogenic acid and ascorbic acid, catechin, superoxide dismutase and catalase of the three mushrooms extracts were effectively bounded to Mpro of SARS-CoV-2 as conferred by docking analysis.
