AB  - In the present report, by using a patch clamp technique, we provide, to our knowledge, the first detailed description of an anionic channel from filamentous fungi. The characterized channel, an outwardly rectifying anionic channel (ORAC), is the most prominent feature of the cell membrane of the fungus Phycomyces blakesleeanus in the absence of energizing substrates. The unitary conductance of the channel is 11.3 +/- 0.4 pS. It is characterized by a strong voltage dependence of the open-channel probability (z delta; the gating charge is 2.1 +/- 0.1), and the channel is activated by depolarization. The values of the time constants for voltage-induced activation and deactivation of 28 +/- 3 ms for tau(a) and 39 +/- 9 ms for tau(d) show that the ORAC is characterized by fast activation/deactivation kinetics. The ORAC shows strong selectivity for anions over cations and weak selectivity among anions, with a selectivity sequence of I- >= NO(3)(-) > Br(-) > Cl(-) > SO(4)(2-) = 4.8 > 4.4 > 2.2 > 1 > 0.55, which corresponds to Eisenman series 1. The channel is characterized by two open and two closed states, with dominant long open (tau(o2) = 35.0 +/- 3.9 ms) and long closed (tau(c2) = 166 +/- 28 ms) states occupying 63% +/- 8% and 79% +/- 3% of total open and closed times, respectively. The ORAC is insensitive to anthracene-9-carboxylic acid (< 200 mu M), but 2 mM malate reversibly inhibits 59% +/- 12% of the channel activity. Based on the electrophysiological properties of the channel, we propose that the ORAC plays a role in anion accumulation and in membrane potential regulation through local membrane depolarization.

AB  - Numerous studies have shown immunostimulatory and anti-tumor effects of water and standardized aqueous ethanol extracts derived from the medicinal mushroom, Coriolus versicolor, but the biological activity of methanol extracts has not been examined so far. In the present study we investigated the anti-tumor effect of C versicolor methanol extract (which contains terpenoids and poly-phenols) on B16 mouse melanoma cells both in vitro and in vivo. In vitro treatment of the cells with the methanol extract (25-1600 mu g/ml) reduced melanoma cell viability in it dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, in the presence of the methanol extract (200 mu g/ml, concentration IC50) the proliferation of B16 cells was arrested in the G(0)/G(1) phase of the cell cycle, followed by both apoptotic and secondary necrotic cell death. In vivo methanol extract treatment (i.p. 50 mg/kg, for 14 days) inhibited tumor growth in C57BL/6 mice inoculated with syngeneic B16 tumor cells. Moreover, peritoneal macrophages collected 21 days after tumor implantation from methanol extract-treated animals exerted stronger tumoristatic activity ex vivo than macrophages from control melanoma-bearing rnice. Taken together, our results demonstrate that C. versicolor methanol extract exerts pronounced anti-melanoma activity, both directly through antiproliferative and cytotoxic effects on tumor cells and indirectly through promotion of macrophage anti-tumor activity.
