AB  - Diets high in fat and sugar lead to metabolic syndrome (MetS) and related chronic diseases. We
investigated the effects of commercially available, cold-pressed polyphenol-rich black currant
(BC) and cornelian cherry (CC) juices on the prevention of MetS in Wistar rats induced by a 10-
weeks high-fat high-fructose (HFF) diet. Juice consumption, either BC or CC, with a HFF diet
resulted in lower serum triglycerides compared to only the HFF consumption. Both juices also
mitigated the effects of HFF on the liver, pancreas, and adipose tissue, by preserving liver and
pancreas histomorphology and reducing visceral fat and adipocyte size. Furthermore, supple-
mentation with both juices reduced glucagon and up-regulated insulin expression in the pancreas
of the rats on the HFF diet, whereas the BC also showed improved glucose regulation. BC juice
also reduced the expression of IL-6 and hepatic inflammation compared to the group only on HFF
diet. Both juices, especially BC, could be a convenient solution for the prevention of MetS in
humans.

AB  - Laetiporus sulphureus, an edible mushroom, for centuries has been used in traditional 
European and Asian ethno-medicine. Its therapeutic properties have been attributed to different 
types of biologically active compounds, such as terpenes, polysaccharides, steroids, proteins 
and lectins. Recently, mushroom lectins emerged as very potent macromolecules with 
antiproliferative, cytotoxic, antiviral and immunostimulatory activities. Therefore, we isolated 
lectin from L. sulphureus (LSL) and evaluated its anti-angiogenic and anticancer activity in 
vivo, using the zebrafish model. We found that LSL is not toxic at high doses up to 400-
500 μg/mL, while it effectively inhibited angiogenesis and cancer development at much lower 
doses. Compared to sunitinib-malate, cardiotoxic and myelosupressive anti-angiogenic drug of 
clinical relevance, therapeutic potential of LSL was 378-fold higher. Wound healing and MTT 
assays were employed to examine antimigratory effect and endothelial cytotoxicity. 
Surprisingly, LSL affected human colorectal carcinoma and mouse melanoma cell lines, by 
almost completely diminishing their growth, neovascularization and metastasis. Moreover, in 
comparison to the used control (cisplatin), LSL showed markedly greater activity, while its 
potency turned out to be 8-fold higher towards colorectal carcinoma than melanoma. These 
encouraging data strongly imply that LSL can be considered for the application as supporting 
agent in chemotherapy against colorectal carcinoma and melanoma or used in pharmaceutical 
industry.

AB  - In spite of extensive usage of Laetiporus sulphureus (sulphur polypore) in traditional European and Asian ethno-medicine for centuries, its anticancer therapeutic potential and toxicity profile remained explored in animal models. Herein, using zebrafish (Danio rerio), as a preclinical animal model, we demonstrated that L. sulphureus lectin (LSL) and ethanol extract (LSE) are non-toxic at high doses up to 400-500 μg/mL, while they effectively inhibited angiogenesis and cancer development at much lower doses. Lectin showed 74-fold higher anti-angiogenic potency than the extract, and even 378-fold higher therapeutic potential than sunitinib-malate, cardiotoxic and myelosupressive anti-angiogenic drug of clinical relevance. Using wound healing and MTT assays, we proved LSL's strong antimigratory effect and selective endothelial cytotoxicity in relation to lung fibroblasts. In addition, employing the zebrafish xenograft models, we demonstrated that LSL almost completely reduced growth, neovascularization and metastasis of human colorectal carcinoma and mouse melanoma. Even more, LSL exerted 8-fold higher potency towards colorectal carcinoma than melanoma, showing markedly higher activity than cisplatin, while LSE failed to express any anticancer activity. Accompanied with non-toxic response, including neutropenia and inflammation, the results of this study strongly imply that LSL could be used as safe adjuvant in chemotherapy against colorectal carcinoma and melanoma.
