    Introduction

    Prostate cancer is one of te leading causes of cancer-related

    dah in Amrican mn du o is unprdica hormonaindependence and igly metastatic nature (1). Prostate cancers

    usually progress from androgen-dependent to androgen-

    independent penotype wit igly metastatic properties (2-4).

    Tus, te metastasis of prostate cancer remains te primary

    issue in improving prostate cancer patient survival. Moreover,

    and experimental studies sow tat natural agents ave potential

    cancr. Naura hra and phyochmica agns ar ingrecognized as an alternative terapy of prostate cancer patients

    (7,8).

    ProstaCaid (PC) is a dietary supplement consisting of a

    33-ingrdin comprhnsi poyhra and nurin prparaionwhich inhiis arran c proiraion and inducs apoposisin androgen dependent and independent uman and mouse

    prostate cancer cell lines (9). PC contains mycelium from medi-

    cinal musrooms (Ganoderma lucidum, Coriolus versicolorand Phellinus linteus), wic separately demonstrated anti-

    cancer properties (7,10-12). Ganoderma lucidum (G. lucidum)

    (Ling Zi, Reisi) is a popular medicinal musroom used as a

    traditional medicine in Cina, Korea and Japan for more tan

    2,000 years to prevent or treat different diseases, including

    cancer (13,14). Te anti-cancer properties ofG. lucidum ave

    demonstrate cytotoxic activity against a variety of cancer cells

    acor (veGf), and ransorming growh acor-1 (TGF-1)from prostate cancer cells, respectively (17,18). Coriolus

    versicolor (C. versicolor) (Yunzi) is a medicinal musroom

    traditionally used in Asia to treat cancers as well as improve

    immunomodulatory activities (19). C. versicolor containsioogicay aci srucuray dirn proin-ound poy-saccaride-K (PSK, Krestin) and polysaccaropeptide (PSP),

    which ha n shown o inhii h proiraion o ariouscancer cells including prostate cancer cells (12,20,21). In addition

    to te anti-cancer properties, extracts ofC. versicolor demon-

    strated strong immunomodulatory effects suc as elevated

    IL-2, natural killer cell activity and T-cell proliferation

    (11,22). In vivo studies sowed tat oral administration ofC.

    Altoug te detailed mecanisms of action ofC. versicolor

    cyc arrs a h G0/G1 phas, inducd apoposis, and inhiidmetastasis of prostate cancer cells (11,12,23,24). Phellinus

    linteus (P. linteus) was mainly used in Asian countries for te

    treatment of various uman malignancies including prostate

    cancr (7,25). Ahough h major ioogicay aci compo-nents in P. linteus are polysaccarides (25), P. linteus also

    contains a polysaccaride-protein complex (PPC) wic

    stimulated te tumoricidal activities of macropages and

    natural killer (NK) cells, and induced te proliferation of

    B cells in vitro (26). In addition, P. linteus inhiis growh andinduces apoptosis of invasive prostate cancer cells in vitro

    (7,10,27,28), and sensitizes advanced prostate cancer cells toapoptosis in a xenograft model of prostate cancer (10).

    In addition, some of te natural compounds in PC demon-

    strated a direct effect on prostate cancer cells. For example,

    resveratrol is a natural polypenol present in various plants

    wic ave demonstrated anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant,

    anti-invasive, and cardioprotective properties (29-32). Previous

    sudis showd ha rsraro inhiid growh and incrasdapoptosis in prostate cancer cells (33,34) and a dimetyl ester

    For example, Caveolin-1 (product ofCAV-1 gene) is a major

    structural component of caveolae, specialized in plasma

    mmran inaginaions inod in ndocyosis, c adhsion,and signal transduction (63). Furter, Caveolin-1 is over-

    expressed in advanced prostate cancer were it promotes

    migration, invasion, and angiogenesis in prostate cancer cells

    (63,64). Te precise role of te insulin-like growt factor 2

    (IGF2) on progression of tumor remains unclear. however,

    polymorpism of teIGF2 gene is associated wit increased

    prostate cancer risk (65,66) and an activation of autocrine IGF2

    loop is linked to te neoplastic progression (67). uPA (product

    ofPLAUgene) and its receptor (uPAR) are important in cancer

    adesion, migration, and invasion. uPA interacts wit uPAR,

    wic furter form te multi-complex wit integrin receptor
