Our previous report showed that the novel polysaccharide SAP isolated from the fruiting bodies of Sarcodon aspratus induced Hela cells apoptosis via mitochondrial dysfunction. In this study we found that SAP enhanced immunostimulatory activities of RAW264.7 cells, which was characterized by increased the production of nitric oxide (NO), reactive oxygen species (ROS), cytokines and phagocytic. However, SAP-induced macrophage activation was abolished when Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) signaling was blocked by anti-TLR4 antibodies. Moreover, according to the Western blot analysis and use of specific inhibitors against the MAPKs (mitogen-activated protein kinases) and NF-κB (nuclear factor-κB), we speculated that SAP activated RAW264.7 cells through TLR4-mediated activation of NF-κB and MAPKs pathways. Thus, Sarcodon aspratus is a potential immunomodulator that can be used as healthcare food.

Article Synopsis
- Brown and beige adipocytes could help combat obesity by generating heat through uncoupling protein-1 (UCP-1), but obesity-related inflammation reduces UCP-1 expression.
- Researchers developed a new experimental system to study the indirect effects of anti-inflammatory food compounds, validating it with 6-shogaol and 6-gingerol, which both boost UCP-1 mRNA levels.
- The study found that an acetone extract from the Sarcodon aspratus mushroom also had anti-inflammatory effects and helped restore UCP-1 expression despite inflammation, highlighting the potential of food-derived compounds in mitigating adipocyte dysfunction.

is a popular edible fungus for its tasty flavour and can be used as a dietary supplement for its functional substances. This study was conducted to evaluate the potential health benefits of polysaccharides (SAFP) on water immersion and restraint stress (WIRS)-induced gastric ulcer in rats. The results indicated that SAFP could decrease myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity and plasma corticosterone levels, as well as enhance Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and Nitrate/nitrite (NOx) concentration in rats.

Objective: This study aimed to monitor the secretion of serotonin and melatonin in the blood serum of rats in the presence of rice bran (RB), and Sarcodon aspratus (S) extracts for sleep promotion.
Background: Sleep is a natural physiological phenomenon, and sleep disorders may cause severe mental hazards leading to excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS). The γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and β-glucan are the essential active ingredients of RB and mushroom, respectively, exhibited stress-reduction and nerve stabilizing potential through regulation of melatonin and serotonin hormones.

Sarcodon aspratus, a popular edible fungus for its tasty flavour and can be used as a dietary supplement for its functional substances. Our study is conducted to evaluate the protective effect of Sarcodon aspratus polysaccharides (SAFP) on oxidative stress damage and pulmonary fibrosis (PF), and further explore the signaling pathways in vitro and in vivo. Results indicated that SAFP could enhance the A549 cells viability, prevent cell apoptosis and inhibit HO induced oxidative damage via attenuation of MDA and ROS levels.
