A sulfated 1,4-β-d-galactoglucan (B86-III) with 1,6-branches was isolated and identified from Antrodia cinnamomea. The repeating unit of B86-III was proposed based on one-dimensional 1D (H, C and DEPT-135) and 2D (DQF-COSY, TOCSY, HSQC and HMBC) NMR spectra. The conformation of the sugars was hypothesized to be a rare boat form instead of a C chair form. The sulfate substitutions were suggested to be on the C-2 and C-3 positions, resulting in the following structure: B86-III inhibited the viability of H1975 lung cancer cells via cell apoptosis, including the activation of caspase 3 and PARP. Transforming growth factor β receptor (TGFR) and its downstream signaling FAK and Slug are involved in lung tumorigenesis. B86-III downregulated TGFR I protein levels and inhibited FAK phosphorylation, resulting in inhibition of Slug expression and migration. This study is the first to characterize sulfated polysaccharides with a rare boat-form conformation and identify the mechanism of inhibition lung cancer cell.

Article Synopsis
- - Huntington's disease (HD) is a genetic neurodegenerative disorder caused by a CAG repeat expansion in the huntingtin gene, leading to the accumulation of harmful mutant proteins in nerve cells.
- - The NLRP3 inflammasome plays a crucial role in inflammation and its overactivation contributes to neurodegeneration in HD; inhibiting it showed potential benefits in mice by reducing toxic inflammation and neuronal damage.
- - Antcin-H, a compound derived from the medicinal fungus Antrodia cinnamomea, was found to decrease neuroinflammation and toxicity while improving motor function and survival rates in a mouse model of HD, indicating its potential as a therapeutic option.

Aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2), a pivotal enzyme in the metabolism of toxic aldehydes produced by oxidative stress, has been demonstrated to play a cardioprotective role in cardiovascular diseases. Antrodia cinnamomea triterpenoids (ACT) is a medicinal mushroom with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, and our previous study found that ACT can exert anti-fatty liver effects by regulating ALDH2. This study aimed to elucidate the impact of ACT and its monomer on cardiac hypertrophy and investigate the relationship between its pharmacological mechanism and ALDH2.

Research Background: The fungus , which grows on tree, has many medicinal uses. However, its cultivation using the traditional method of growing on the tree is costly and time-consuming. A possible alternative method of cultivating is to use Hayata tree, as it contains α-terpineol, which stimulates the synthesis of triterpenoids.
