    Abstract:
    PURPOSE: Osteosarcoma is a malignant musculoskeletal tumor with early metastasis and a poor prognosis, especially in adolescents. Ganoderma lucidum (Leyss. Ex Fr.) Karst (G. lucidum), a traditional East Asian medicine, has been reported to play a critical role in antitumor and immunomodulatory activity. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects and molecular mechanisms of water extract of sporoderm-broken spores of G. lucidum (BSGWE) on osteosarcoma PD-L1 (programmed cell death-ligand 1) transcriptional regulation, efficacy enhancement, and side effect remission. METHODS: The antitumor effects on cell proliferation of BSGWE in osteosarcoma cells were detected by apoptosis flow cytometry, and the migration ability of HOS and K7M2 cells were evaluated by cell scratch assay. Potential signaling regulation of PD-L1 was detected by western blotting. To confirm the signaling pathway of BSGWE-related PD-L1 downregulation, a pho-STAT3 turnover experiment was carried out. Colivelin was administered as a pho-STAT3 activator to rescue the BSGWE-induced PD-L1 inhibition. To further study in vivo signaling, in a Balb/c osteosarcoma allograft model, tumor volume was measured using an in vivo bioluminescence imaging system. The body weight curve and tumor volume curve were analyzed to reveal the remission effects of BSGWE on PD-L1 antibody-related body weight loss and its immunomodulatory effects on the osteosarcoma and spleen. The PD-L1 expression level and expression of related transcription-factor pho-STAT3 in tumor cells and spleens were assessed by IHC analysis. RESULTS: BSGWE suppressed the proliferation and migration of osteosarcoma cells in vitro via induction of apoptosis. In addition, BSGWE downregulated PD-L1 expression and related STAT3 (signal transducers and activators of transcription) phosphorylation levels in a dose-dependent manner. Western blotting and qRT-PCR assay revealed that BSGWE downregulated PD-L1 expression by inhibiting STAT3 phosphorylation. A turnover experiment showed that colivelin administration could rescue PD-L1 inhibition via pho-STAT3 activation. BSGWE not only downregulated PD-L1 expression via the STAT3 pathway in an allograft Balb/c mouse model, but also relieved complications including weight loss and spleen atrophy in a mouse monoclonal antibody therapy model on the basis of its traditional advantages in immune enhancement. CONCLUSION: BSGWE downregulated PD-L1 expression via pho-STAT3 inhibition of protein and RNA levels. BSGWE enhanced PD-L1 antibody efficacy via phosphorylated STAT3 downregulation in vitro and in vivo. BSGWE also relieved complications of weight loss and spleen atrophy in a murine allograft osteosarcoma immune checkpoint blockade therapy model.
