A Review of Anti-Cancer and Related Properties of Lichen-Extracts and Metabolites

Ankita H. Tripathi et al.

Summary: Lichens, composed of a fungus and an alga, possess a variety of unique metabolites. Numerous studies have shown that lichen extracts and metabolites have anti-cancer and related properties, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-proliferative, and pro-apoptotic effects. However, further research is needed to explore other anti-cancer properties of lichen compounds.

Lecanoric acid mediates anti-proliferative effects by an M phase arrest in colon cancer cells

Luise A. Roser et al.

Summary: Lichen extracts containing compounds such as lecanoric acid possess anti-proliferative effects, particularly in cancer cells. Lecanoric acid exerts its anti-proliferative effects by arresting cells in the M phase. Importantly, it does not affect primary immune cells. These findings suggest that lecanoric acid may be a potential candidate for anti-cancer therapy.

Atranorin, an antimicrobial metabolite from lichen Parmotrema rampoddense exhibited in vitro anti-breast cancer activity through interaction with Akt activity

Adhikesavan Harikrishnan et al.

Summary: In this study, Atranorin showed selective cytotoxicity against MDA MB-231 and MCF-7 breast cancer cells through its interactions with Akt and Bax proteins, and downregulation of anti-apoptotic Akt levels. These findings suggest Atranorin as a potential natural molecule for targeted therapy in breast cancer.

Methoxy-stilbenes downregulate the transcription of Wnt/β-catenin-dependent genes and lead to cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in human T98G glioblastoma cells

Aleksandra Majchrzak-Celinska et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates that resveratrol and its methoxy derivatives have high permeability and can downregulate the expression of Wnt/beta-catenin pathway-related genes, with 3,4,40-tri-methoxystilbene showing the strongest inhibitory effect, as well as influencing cell cycle and apoptosis.

COXIBs and 2,5-dimethylcelecoxib counteract the hyperactivated Wnt/β-catenin pathway and COX-2/PGE2/EP4 signaling in glioblastoma cells

Aleksandra Majchrzak-Celinska et al.

Summary: The study revealed that COXIBs and 2,5-DMC could attenuate the Wnt/beta-catenin pathway independent of COX-2 expression, MGMT methylation status, or resistance to radiotherapy/chemotherapy. Celecoxib and 2,5-DMC showed the highest cytotoxicity, while etori- and valdecoxib induced alterations in cell cycle distribution and apoptosis in the T98G cell line. COXIBs and 2,5-DMC did not affect MGMT methylation status but inhibited the COX-2/PGE2/EP4 pathway.

A comprehensive review on secondary metabolites and health-promoting effects of edible lichen

Yingshu Zhao et al.

Summary: Lichens have attracted attention due to their unique secondary metabolites, but research on edible lichens is still lacking. Current studies suggest potential applications of lichens in food, offering nutritional and health benefits, however, the mechanisms of action of their bioactive substances and the bioavailability of nutrients derived from lichens remain unclear. Future research directions may focus on resolving these uncertainties.

Lichen-Derived Depsides and Depsidones Modulate the Nrf2, NF-κB and STAT3 Signaling Pathways in Colorectal Cancer Cells

Katarzyna Papierska et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the modulation of Nrf2, NF-kappa B and STAT3 signaling pathways in colorectal cancer cells by lichen-derived secondary metabolites. Physodic and salazinic acids showed the highest activity against CRC cells, affecting Nrf2 activation and gene expression while inducing opposite effects on NF-kappa B and STAT3 pathways. Caperatic acid had the most impact on Wnt/beta-catenin, while salazinic acid was the most potent modulator of Nrf2, NF-kappa B and STAT3 pathways. Physodic acid seemed to affect all investigated pathways.
