Keywords: L-ergothioneine; common deletion; mitochondria; photoaging OPEN ACCESS Cosmetics 2014, 1 52 1. Introduction Ultraviolet irradiation is one of the most important environmental factors in the development of a number of skin conditions, ranging from photoaging to cancer. UVA\/B rays penetrate into the skin, reach cells and are absorbed by proteins, lipids, and nuclear and mitochondrial DNA, causing a cascade of oxidative events that can result in progressive deterioration of cellular structure and function [1–3]. There are many theories of aging and a number of them encompass the role of mitochondria in this process. Mitochondria are responsible for producing approximately 90% of the cellular energy in the process of oxidative phosphorylation where electrons from NADH and FADH2 are transferred to oxygen. This generates a significant amount of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Mitochondria are able to counteract the production of ROS with antioxidant defense systems which can detoxify the amount of ROS produced, however, some ROS do evade these processes and are able to damage mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) as well as proteins and lipids. Mitochondria contain their own DNA (mtDNA), which is distinct from nuclear DNA and more susceptible to damage. Mitochondrial DNA mutations and deletions have been shown to accumulate in many tissues in mammals during aging. mtDNA mutations are thought to arise due to the close proximity to the inner membrane where reactive oxygen species are continually produced in the electron transport chain. This, along with the absence of protective histones and impaired DNA photoproduct repair makes mtDNA a sensitive marker of UV-induced DNA damage [4,5]. It has been shown that photoaged skin is characterized by increased mutations in the mitochondrial (mt) genome [6]. The most frequently reported deletion is a large-scale (4977 bp) deletion also called the “common deletion” (CD). In human skin CD has been shown to occur more frequently with increasing sun exposure and thus appears to be a useful marker rather for UVA induced alterations than for chronological aging [7–10]. The use of antioxidants is an effective approach to prevent symptoms related to photo-induced aging of the skin. Many antioxidants have long been used in cosmetology. L-Ergothioneine (EGT) is an unusual sulphur-containing derivative of an amino acid, histidine, which is acquired by mammals exclusively in their diet. L-Ergothioneine has two functional groups: L-thiol (SH) group and quaternary ammonium group N–(CH3)3 (Figure 1). EGT’s thiol group implies an antioxidant role. The quaternary group EGT resembles carnitine and transfers fatty acids into the mitochondria, therefore increasing the ATP level in cells. EGT is concentrated in cells and tissues frequently exposed to oxidative stress. Numerous in vitro assays have demonstrated the antioxidant and cytoprotective capabilities of EGT against a wide range of cellular stressors [11–13]. Figure 1. Chemical structure of L-ergothioneine. Cosmetics 2014, 1 53 On the basis of these data on the antioxidant activity of L-ergothioneine we found it interesting to study the effect of this substance on UV-induced alterations in skin cell cultures, particularly on mtDNA damage. 2. Experimental Section 2.1. Cell Cultures KB cells (epidermoid carcinoma cell line KB, American Type Culture Collection (ATCC), Manassas, VA, USA) were grown in standard RPMI medium (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA), supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum, 2 mM L-glutamine and antibiotics (100 U\/mL penicillin, 0.25 µg\/mL streptomycin sulfate) at 37 °C in 5% CO2. The KB cell line was used as a model representing human keratinocytes. Skin samples, obtained from donors undergoing cosmetic surgery, were treated with dispase II solution (5 mg\/mL, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) at 4 °C for 16 h, followed by separation of dermal and epidermal layers with tweezers. Next, the dermis was cut into ~1 mm2 fragments and treated with 2 mg\/mL collagenase and 0.1 mg\/mL DNase (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) overnight. Liberated cells were seeded into cell culture flasks for culture. Primary human fibroblasts were grown in standard DMEM medium (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA), supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA), 10 mM HEPES, 2 mM L-glutamine and antibiotics (100 U\/mL penicillin, 0.25 µg\/mL streptomycin sulfate) and 50 µg\/mL uridine, with or without 20 µM L-ergothioneine (Barnet Products Corp.,Englewood Cliffs, NJ, USA), at 37 °C in 5% CO2. Confluent passages between 2 and 8 were used. 2.2. UVB Irradiation Confluent KB cells (control and treated with 20 µM L-ergothioneine (Barnet Products Corp., Englewood Cliffs, NJ, USA)) were exposed to UVB (300 J\/m2, fluorescent bulb TL12 Philips, emission peak at 313 nm) through phosphate buffered saline. 2.3. UVA Irradiation The presence of the “common deletion” was evaluated in fibroblasts derived from 2 female donors aged 38 and 45 and from 2 male donors aged 30 and 42. Cells were grown in the presence of 50 µg\/mL uridine (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA), with or without 20 µM L-ergothioneine and irradiated with 3 doses (8 J\/cm2, fluorescent bulb GE F4T5\/BLB, emission peak at 368 nm) of UVA per day, through phosphate buffered saline. This procedure was repeated for 4 consecutive days during 3 weeks. 2.4. Colorimetric Determination of Reduced Glutathione (GSH) GSH level was measured using the GSH\/GSSG-412 assay (OxisResearchTM, Portland, OR, USA)—colorimetric determination of reduced and oxidized glutathione. The method employs Ellmanʼs reagent (5,5'-dithiobis-2-nitrobenzoic acid—DTNB), which reacts with GSH to form a product which is spectrophotometrically detectable at 412 nm. The change in absorbance at 412 nm is Cosmetics 2014, 1 54 a linear function of the GSH concentration in the reaction mixture [14]. The protein concentration was measured with Bradford Reagent (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) [15]. Three independent experiments were performed. Comparisons between control and post-treatment measurements were performed using an unpaired Student’s t-test. Probability values of p \u0026lt; 0.05 were considered statistically significant. 2.5. “Common Deletion” (CD) PCR Phenol-chloroform extraction of total DNA and PCR (Fermentas, Lithuania, Vilnius) were performed according to standard protocols. PCR reaction mixture, for both primer pairs, contained: F primer 2 μM; R primer 2 μM; dNTP 20 mM; Taq Buffer with (NH4)2SO4 and 20 mM MgCl2 1×; Taq polymerase 1 U; DNA 100 ng. All reactions were performed in 25 µL volume in the following conditions: the denaturation step was carried out at 94 C for 3 min, 35 cycles of 94 C for 30 s, 58 C for 30 s, 72 C for 1 min, and a final extension of 72 C for 7 min. See Table 1 for primers used. Table 1. PCR primers for detection of the “common deletion” in mtDNA. PCR primer Orientation Position MT1A F 8224-8247 MT1C F 13176-13198MT2 R 13501-13477PCR reaction with primers MT1A–MT2 was carried out, amplifying a fragment 300 bp in length when the “common deletion” was present. In order to ensure that the absence of CD PCR product is caused by the absence of CD and not by an incorrect PCR reaction, PCR with primers MT1A–MT2 was performed. A corresponding product 325 bp in length is obtained when the mitochondrial genome without the deletion is present and thus serves as a control for the PCR reaction. As a positive control of the PCR reaction, DNA isolated from a patient with a previously confirmed common deletion in mtDNA was used. PCR products were detected by electrophoresis on a 1.5% agarose gel with ethidium bromide against a DNA molecular-weight marker. The gel was photographed under UV transillumination. Three independent experiments were performed. 3. Results and Discussion 3.1. L-Ergothioneine Increases the Reduced Glutathione (GSH) Level The tripeptide glutathione (GSH) is the most abundant intracellular non-protein thiol. It is present predominantly in a reduced form (GSH), which is the biologically active form. Over the years, a great deal of information has been gathered on the role of GSH in maintaining the intracellular reduction–oxidation (redox) environment including antioxidant defense via direct interaction with reactive oxygen\/nitrogen species (ROS\/RNS) or via activities of detoxification enzymes like GSH peroxidases and GSH-S-transferases [16]. In our study we tested the effect of L-ergothioneine on the reduced glutathione (GSH) level in the KB cell line using the GSH\/GSSG-412 colorimetric assay. Our studies showed that L-ergothioneine at the 20 µM concentration (chosen according to our previous studies [17]) increased the reduced glutathione (GSH) level both in control and UVB irradiated Cosmetics 2014, 1 55 KB cells (Table 2). Changes between GSH level in control compared with GSH level after treatment with L-ergothioneine, both in cells exposed and unexposed to UVB, were statistically significant. The UVB light was chosen for the irradiation of KB cells since it is the light of the UVB spectrum that is for the most part absorbed by the epidermis in vivo [18]. UVB may also damage epidermal cells both directly and indirectly by inducing the formation of reactive oxygen species, i.e., the superoxide anion [19]. Thus, it was deemed necessary to study the antioxidative effect of EGT on UVB irradiated epidermis. Table 2. Quantitative determination of glutathione (GSH) level in KB cells. KB cells µmol GSH\/µg protein −UVB +UVB (300 J\/m2) control 6.07 ± 0.15 3.03 ± 0.02 20 µM L-ergothioneine 15.37 ± 0.13 4.65 ± 0.06 Our results are in line with numerous studies demonstrating that L-ergothioneine is an integral component of the cellular antioxidant defense system. It scavenges hydroxyl and peroxynitrite radicals as well as the superoxide anion radical and singlet oxygen. In vitro tests have also demonstrated that EGT also has strong copper chelating ability—it potentially inhibits tyrosinase activity [20–22]. Moreover, in vitro tests have demonstrated that in cultured fibroblasts EGT suppressed the tumor necrosis factor α (TNF α) up-regulation induced by UVB irradiation. In addition in fibroblasts exposed to UVA, EGT suppressed the expression of matrix metalloproteinase 1 (MMP 1) protein [23]. EGT also inhibited nuclear factor kβ (NF kβ) activation and limited the transcriptional activation of the gene for interleukin 8 (IL-8)—a chemotaxin which might account for neutrophil recruitment [24]. It has been demonstrated that EGT is a more powerful antioxidant than either coenzyme Q(10) or idebenone due to its relatively greater efficiency in directly scavenging free radicals and in protecting cells from UV-induced ROS [25]. Recently, a high specific transporter for EGT (ETT) was identified in mammalian tissues, which explains the high tissue levels of EGT and implies a physiological role. Depletion of ETT leads to augmented oxidative stress and cell death. ETT is highly concentrated in the plasma membrane and mitochondria [11]. 3.2. L-Rrgothioneine Shows Protective Properties against the Induction of a Photoaging-Associated mtDNA “Common Deletion” One of the best described mt deletions, the 4977 bp “common deletion”, is known to be involved in photoaging of the skin. Intraindividual comparison studies have revealed that the “common deletion” is increased up to 10-fold in photoaged skin, as compared with sun-protected skin of the same individuals [7]. The objective of our study was to evaluate the effect of L-ergothioneine on the occurrence of mtDNA “common deletion” in UV-irradiated human primary fibroblasts obtained from various donors. For the experiments on dermal cells only UVA irradiation was performed, since the great majority of UVB rays is absorbed by the epidermis and hence never reaches the dermal level [18]. UVA is known to cause mainly indirect damage to cellular structures and nucleic acids by inducing the formation of radical oxygen and nitrogen species but may also be responsible for single- and double-strands breaks in DNA [19]. Thus, exposure to UVA may be one of the main causes Cosmetics 2014, 1 56 of mtDNA mutations including mtDNA deletions [26]. In our experiments, in fibroblasts which were not exposed to UVA we did not observe the “common deletion” after DNA isolation nor during 3 weeks of culture (Figure 2, lanes 9, 11 and 13). When we incubated fibroblasts with L-ergothioneine we also observed no “common deletion” PCR product (Figure 3, lanes 9, 11 and 13). To summarize this part of our study: first of all, cultured fibroblasts isolated from various donors did not initially show the “common deletion”. Secondly, L-ergothioneine, itself, had no influence on the presence of the “common deletion”. Figure 2. Representative PCR analysis of the presence of the “common deletion” in a culture of human fibroblasts incubated with and without UVA exposure, without the presence of L-ergothioneine. M, molecular weight marker; C, control PCR reaction, confirming the presence of mtDNA; 1, fibroblasts after 1 week with UVA exposure; 3, fibroblasts after 2 weeks with UVA exposure; 5, fibroblasts after 3 weeks with UVA exposure; 7, positive control—DNA from a patient with a previously confirmed presence of “common deletion”; 9, fibroblasts after 1 week without UVA exposure; 11, fibroblasts after 2 weeks without UVA exposure; 13 fibroblasts after 3 weeks without UVA exposure. We were able to induce the “common deletion” using repetitive UVA irradiation in cultured human fibroblasts derived from two donors (Figure 2, lanes 1, 3 and 5) suggesting that there is an individual susceptibility to the induction of CD, at least in our in vitro model. Due to the fact that our “common deletion” analysis was performed on fibroblasts isolated from four donors, this requires further studies. When fibroblasts were irradiated and co-incubated with 20 µM L-ergothioneine we did not observe the “common deletion” even after 3 weeks with UVA exposure, suggesting that L-ergothioneine may prevent the formation of this particular damage in mtDNA (Figure 3, lanes 1, 3 and 5). Our results are in accordance with the previous studies where repetitive exposure of keratinocytes, fibroblasts or Cosmetics 2014, 1 57 human skin to UVA at physiological doses was found to induce mutations of mtDNA [7,27–29]. Interestingly, it has been shown that in fibroblasts the level of CD is decreasing with prolonged culture, which can be counteracted with uridine supplementation of culture media [6,7,30]. For this reason, uridine supplementation was employed during all CD analyses in this study. Figure 3. Representative PCR analysis of the presence of the “common deletion” in a culture of human fibroblasts incubated with and without UVA exposure, in the presence of 20 µM L-ergothioneine. M, molecular weight marker; C, control PCR reaction, confirming the presence of mtDNA; 1, fibroblasts after 1 week with UVA exposure; 3, fibroblasts after 2 weeks with UVA exposure; 5, fibroblasts after 3 weeks with UVA exposure; 7, positive control—DNA from a patient with a previously confirmed presence of “common deletion”; 9, fibroblasts after 1 week without UVA exposure; 11, fibroblasts after 2 weeks without UVA exposure; 13, fibroblasts after 3 weeks without UVA exposure. Protection against the induction of a photoaging-associated mtDNA mutation has been also previously shown for two other widely applied cosmetic actives—β-carotene and genistein [31,32]. Our results demonstrated that L-ergothioneine may protect skin cells against some UV-induced damage; in particular against the occurrence of mitDNA “common deletion”. Further studies are required to assess the full-spectrum of L-ergothioneine’s protective activity. We conclude that L-ergothioneine, as an active compound of cosmetic products, shows considerable promise as an effective agent against the aging process. On the other hand, we have shown that in cosmetology, the detection of mtDNA deletions could be a useful tool to assess the effect of active ingredients on UV-irradiated human skin cells. Cosmetics 2014, 1 58 4. Conclusions Aging of human skin has been the subject of a profound interest for cosmetic industry which attempts to counteract this process. In our study we tested L-ergothioneine, one of the antioxidants used in cosmetology, and we found that L-ergothioneine enhanced the level of reduced glutathione and protected against the induction of a photoaging-associated mtDNA “common deletion”. L-Ergothioneine might be involved in the protection of mtDNA from ROS generated in the course of electron transport. In view of these results L-ergothioneine could act as an effective skin care and anti-photo-aging ingredient. On the other hand, we have shown that in cosmetology, the detection of mtDNA deletions could be a useful tool to assess the effect of active ingredients on UV-irradiated human skin cells.

Introduction Ultraviolet irradiation is one of the most important environmental factors in the development of a number of skin conditions, ranging from photoaging to cancer. UVA\/B rays penetrate into the skin, reach cells and are absorbed by proteins, lipids, and nuclear and mitochondrial DNA, causing a cascade of oxidative events that can result in progressive deterioration of cellular structure and function [1–3]. There are many theories of aging and a number of them encompass the role of mitochondria in this process. Mitochondria are responsible for producing approximately 90% of the cellular energy in the process of oxidative phosphorylation where electrons from NADH and FADH2 are transferred to oxygen. This generates a significant amount of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Mitochondria are able to counteract the production of ROS with antioxidant defense systems which can detoxify the amount of ROS produced, however, some ROS do evade these processes and are able to damage mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) as well as proteins and lipids. Mitochondria contain their own DNA (mtDNA), which is distinct from nuclear DNA and more susceptible to damage. Mitochondrial DNA mutations and deletions have been shown to accumulate in many tissues in mammals during aging. mtDNA mutations are thought to arise due to the close proximity to the inner membrane where reactive oxygen species are continually produced in the electron transport chain. This, along with the absence of protective histones and impaired DNA photoproduct repair makes mtDNA a sensitive marker of UV-induced DNA damage [4,5]. It has been shown that photoaged skin is characterized by increased mutations in the mitochondrial (mt) genome [6]. The most frequently reported deletion is a large-scale (4977 bp) deletion also called the “common deletion” (CD). In human skin CD has been shown to occur more frequently with increasing sun exposure and thus appears to be a useful marker rather for UVA induced alterations than for chronological aging [7–10]. The use of antioxidants is an effective approach to prevent symptoms related to photo-induced aging of the skin. Many antioxidants have long been used in cosmetology. L-Ergothioneine (EGT) is an unusual sulphur-containing derivative of an amino acid, histidine, which is acquired by mammals exclusively in their diet. L-Ergothioneine has two functional groups: L-thiol (SH) group and quaternary ammonium group N–(CH3)3 (Figure 1). EGT’s thiol group implies an antioxidant role. The quaternary group EGT resembles carnitine and transfers fatty acids into the mitochondria, therefore increasing the ATP level in cells. EGT is concentrated in cells and tissues frequently exposed to oxidative stress. Numerous in vitro assays have demonstrated the antioxidant and cytoprotective capabilities of EGT against a wide range of cellular stressors [11–13]. Figure 1. Chemical structure of L-ergothioneine. Cosmetics 2014, 1 53 On the basis of these data on the antioxidant activity of L-ergothioneine we found it interesting to study the effect of this substance on UV-induced alterations in skin cell cultures, particularly on mtDNA damage. 2. Experimental Section 2.1. Cell Cultures KB cells (epidermoid carcinoma cell line KB, American Type Culture Collection (ATCC), Manassas, VA, USA) were grown in standard RPMI medium (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA), supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum, 2 mM L-glutamine and antibiotics (100 U\/mL penicillin, 0.25 µg\/mL streptomycin sulfate) at 37 °C in 5% CO2. The KB cell line was used as a model representing human keratinocytes. Skin samples, obtained from donors undergoing cosmetic surgery, were treated with dispase II solution (5 mg\/mL, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) at 4 °C for 16 h, followed by separation of dermal and epidermal layers with tweezers. Next, the dermis was cut into ~1 mm2 fragments and treated with 2 mg\/mL collagenase and 0.1 mg\/mL DNase (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) overnight. Liberated cells were seeded into cell culture flasks for culture. Primary human fibroblasts were grown in standard DMEM medium (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA), supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA), 10 mM HEPES, 2 mM L-glutamine and antibiotics (100 U\/mL penicillin, 0.25 µg\/mL streptomycin sulfate) and 50 µg\/mL uridine, with or without 20 µM L-ergothioneine (Barnet Products Corp.,Englewood Cliffs, NJ, USA), at 37 °C in 5% CO2. Confluent passages between 2 and 8 were used. 2.2. UVB Irradiation Confluent KB cells (control and treated with 20 µM L-ergothioneine (Barnet Products Corp., Englewood Cliffs, NJ, USA)) were exposed to UVB (300 J\/m2, fluorescent bulb TL12 Philips, emission peak at 313 nm) through phosphate buffered saline. 2.3. UVA Irradiation The presence of the “common deletion” was evaluated in fibroblasts derived from 2 female donors aged 38 and 45 and from 2 male donors aged 30 and 42. Cells were grown in the presence of 50 µg\/mL uridine (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA), with or without 20 µM L-ergothioneine and irradiated with 3 doses (8 J\/cm2, fluorescent bulb GE F4T5\/BLB, emission peak at 368 nm) of UVA per day, through phosphate buffered saline. This procedure was repeated for 4 consecutive days during 3 weeks. 2.4. Colorimetric Determination of Reduced Glutathione (GSH) GSH level was measured using the GSH\/GSSG-412 assay (OxisResearchTM, Portland, OR, USA)—colorimetric determination of reduced and oxidized glutathione. The method employs Ellmanʼs reagent (5,5'-dithiobis-2-nitrobenzoic acid—DTNB), which reacts with GSH to form a product which is spectrophotometrically detectable at 412 nm. The change in absorbance at 412 nm is Cosmetics 2014, 1 54 a linear function of the GSH concentration in the reaction mixture [14]. The protein concentration was measured with Bradford Reagent (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) [15]. Three independent experiments were performed. Comparisons between control and post-treatment measurements were performed using an unpaired Student’s t-test. Probability values of p \u0026lt; 0.05 were considered statistically significant. 2.5. “Common Deletion” (CD) PCR Phenol-chloroform extraction of total DNA and PCR (Fermentas, Lithuania, Vilnius) were performed according to standard protocols. PCR reaction mixture, for both primer pairs, contained: F primer 2 μM; R primer 2 μM; dNTP 20 mM; Taq Buffer with (NH4)2SO4 and 20 mM MgCl2 1×; Taq polymerase 1 U; DNA 100 ng. All reactions were performed in 25 µL volume in the following conditions: the denaturation step was carried out at 94 C for 3 min, 35 cycles of 94 C for 30 s, 58 C for 30 s, 72 C for 1 min, and a final extension of 72 C for 7 min. See Table 1 for primers used. Table 1. PCR primers for detection of the “common deletion” in mtDNA. PCR primer Orientation Position MT1A F 8224-8247 MT1C F 13176-13198MT2 R 13501-13477PCR reaction with primers MT1A–MT2 was carried out, amplifying a fragment 300 bp in length when the “common deletion” was present. In order to ensure that the absence of CD PCR product is caused by the absence of CD and not by an incorrect PCR reaction, PCR with primers MT1A–MT2 was performed. A corresponding product 325 bp in length is obtained when the mitochondrial genome without the deletion is present and thus serves as a control for the PCR reaction. As a positive control of the PCR reaction, DNA isolated from a patient with a previously confirmed common deletion in mtDNA was used. PCR products were detected by electrophoresis on a 1.5% agarose gel with ethidium bromide against a DNA molecular-weight marker. The gel was photographed under UV transillumination. Three independent experiments were performed. 3. Results and Discussion 3.1. L-Ergothioneine Increases the Reduced Glutathione (GSH) Level The tripeptide glutathione (GSH) is the most abundant intracellular non-protein thiol. It is present predominantly in a reduced form (GSH), which is the biologically active form. Over the years, a great deal of information has been gathered on the role of GSH in maintaining the intracellular reduction–oxidation (redox) environment including antioxidant defense via direct interaction with reactive oxygen\/nitrogen species (ROS\/RNS) or via activities of detoxification enzymes like GSH peroxidases and GSH-S-transferases [16]. In our study we tested the effect of L-ergothioneine on the reduced glutathione (GSH) level in the KB cell line using the GSH\/GSSG-412 colorimetric assay. Our studies showed that L-ergothioneine at the 20 µM concentration (chosen according to our previous studies [17]) increased the reduced glutathione (GSH) level both in control and UVB irradiated Cosmetics 2014, 1 55 KB cells (Table 2). Changes between GSH level in control compared with GSH level after treatment with L-ergothioneine, both in cells exposed and unexposed to UVB, were statistically significant. The UVB light was chosen for the irradiation of KB cells since it is the light of the UVB spectrum that is for the most part absorbed by the epidermis in vivo [18]. UVB may also damage epidermal cells both directly and indirectly by inducing the formation of reactive oxygen species, i.e., the superoxide anion [19]. Thus, it was deemed necessary to study the antioxidative effect of EGT on UVB irradiated epidermis. Table 2. Quantitative determination of glutathione (GSH) level in KB cells. KB cells µmol GSH\/µg protein −UVB +UVB (300 J\/m2) control 6.07 ± 0.15 3.03 ± 0.02 20 µM L-ergothioneine 15.37 ± 0.13 4.65 ± 0.06 Our results are in line with numerous studies demonstrating that L-ergothioneine is an integral component of the cellular antioxidant defense system. It scavenges hydroxyl and peroxynitrite radicals as well as the superoxide anion radical and singlet oxygen. In vitro tests have also demonstrated that EGT also has strong copper chelating ability—it potentially inhibits tyrosinase activity [20–22]. Moreover, in vitro tests have demonstrated that in cultured fibroblasts EGT suppressed the tumor necrosis factor α (TNF α) up-regulation induced by UVB irradiation. In addition in fibroblasts exposed to UVA, EGT suppressed the expression of matrix metalloproteinase 1 (MMP 1) protein [23]. EGT also inhibited nuclear factor kβ (NF kβ) activation and limited the transcriptional activation of the gene for interleukin 8 (IL-8)—a chemotaxin which might account for neutrophil recruitment [24]. It has been demonstrated that EGT is a more powerful antioxidant than either coenzyme Q(10) or idebenone due to its relatively greater efficiency in directly scavenging free radicals and in protecting cells from UV-induced ROS [25]. Recently, a high specific transporter for EGT (ETT) was identified in mammalian tissues, which explains the high tissue levels of EGT and implies a physiological role. Depletion of ETT leads to augmented oxidative stress and cell death. ETT is highly concentrated in the plasma membrane and mitochondria [11]. 3.2. L-Rrgothioneine Shows Protective Properties against the Induction of a Photoaging-Associated mtDNA “Common Deletion” One of the best described mt deletions, the 4977 bp “common deletion”, is known to be involved in photoaging of the skin. Intraindividual comparison studies have revealed that the “common deletion” is increased up to 10-fold in photoaged skin, as compared with sun-protected skin of the same individuals [7]. The objective of our study was to evaluate the effect of L-ergothioneine on the occurrence of mtDNA “common deletion” in UV-irradiated human primary fibroblasts obtained from various donors. For the experiments on dermal cells only UVA irradiation was performed, since the great majority of UVB rays is absorbed by the epidermis and hence never reaches the dermal level [18]. UVA is known to cause mainly indirect damage to cellular structures and nucleic acids by inducing the formation of radical oxygen and nitrogen species but may also be responsible for single- and double-strands breaks in DNA [19]. Thus, exposure to UVA may be one of the main causes Cosmetics 2014, 1 56 of mtDNA mutations including mtDNA deletions [26]. In our experiments, in fibroblasts which were not exposed to UVA we did not observe the “common deletion” after DNA isolation nor during 3 weeks of culture (Figure 2, lanes 9, 11 and 13). When we incubated fibroblasts with L-ergothioneine we also observed no “common deletion” PCR product (Figure 3, lanes 9, 11 and 13). To summarize this part of our study: first of all, cultured fibroblasts isolated from various donors did not initially show the “common deletion”. Secondly, L-ergothioneine, itself, had no influence on the presence of the “common deletion”. Figure 2. Representative PCR analysis of the presence of the “common deletion” in a culture of human fibroblasts incubated with and without UVA exposure, without the presence of L-ergothioneine. M, molecular weight marker; C, control PCR reaction, confirming the presence of mtDNA; 1, fibroblasts after 1 week with UVA exposure; 3, fibroblasts after 2 weeks with UVA exposure; 5, fibroblasts after 3 weeks with UVA exposure; 7, positive control—DNA from a patient with a previously confirmed presence of “common deletion”; 9, fibroblasts after 1 week without UVA exposure; 11, fibroblasts after 2 weeks without UVA exposure; 13 fibroblasts after 3 weeks without UVA exposure. We were able to induce the “common deletion” using repetitive UVA irradiation in cultured human fibroblasts derived from two donors (Figure 2, lanes 1, 3 and 5) suggesting that there is an individual susceptibility to the induction of CD, at least in our in vitro model. Due to the fact that our “common deletion” analysis was performed on fibroblasts isolated from four donors, this requires further studies. When fibroblasts were irradiated and co-incubated with 20 µM L-ergothioneine we did not observe the “common deletion” even after 3 weeks with UVA exposure, suggesting that L-ergothioneine may prevent the formation of this particular damage in mtDNA (Figure 3, lanes 1, 3 and 5). Our results are in accordance with the previous studies where repetitive exposure of keratinocytes, fibroblasts or Cosmetics 2014, 1 57 human skin to UVA at physiological doses was found to induce mutations of mtDNA [7,27–29]. Interestingly, it has been shown that in fibroblasts the level of CD is decreasing with prolonged culture, which can be counteracted with uridine supplementation of culture media [6,7,30]. For this reason, uridine supplementation was employed during all CD analyses in this study. Figure 3. Representative PCR analysis of the presence of the “common deletion” in a culture of human fibroblasts incubated with and without UVA exposure, in the presence of 20 µM L-ergothioneine. M, molecular weight marker; C, control PCR reaction, confirming the presence of mtDNA; 1, fibroblasts after 1 week with UVA exposure; 3, fibroblasts after 2 weeks with UVA exposure; 5, fibroblasts after 3 weeks with UVA exposure; 7, positive control—DNA from a patient with a previously confirmed presence of “common deletion”; 9, fibroblasts after 1 week without UVA exposure; 11, fibroblasts after 2 weeks without UVA exposure; 13, fibroblasts after 3 weeks without UVA exposure. Protection against the induction of a photoaging-associated mtDNA mutation has been also previously shown for two other widely applied cosmetic actives—β-carotene and genistein [31,32]. Our results demonstrated that L-ergothioneine may protect skin cells against some UV-induced damage; in particular against the occurrence of mitDNA “common deletion”. Further studies are required to assess the full-spectrum of L-ergothioneine’s protective activity. We conclude that L-ergothioneine, as an active compound of cosmetic products, shows considerable promise as an effective agent against the aging process. On the other hand, we have shown that in cosmetology, the detection of mtDNA deletions could be a useful tool to assess the effect of active ingredients on UV-irradiated human skin cells. Cosmetics 2014, 1 58 4. Conclusions Aging of human skin has been the subject of a profound interest for cosmetic industry which attempts to counteract this process. In our study we tested L-ergothioneine, one of the antioxidants used in cosmetology, and we found that L-ergothioneine enhanced the level of reduced glutathione and protected against the induction of a photoaging-associated mtDNA “common deletion”. L-Ergothioneine might be involved in the protection of mtDNA from ROS generated in the course of electron transport. In view of these results L-ergothioneine could act as an effective skin care and anti-photo-aging ingredient. On the other hand, we have shown that in cosmetology, the detection of mtDNA deletions could be a useful tool to assess the effect of active ingredients on UV-irradiated human skin cells.

ABSTRACT The gastrointestinal health is very important aspect concerning human health. It refers to nutrient and vitamin absorption, food digestion and various infectious diseases. The Paecilomyces hepiali and Cordyceps militaris are highly enriched with cordycepin and ergosterol which are considered as anti bacterial substances. Present study finds out comparative effect of hot water extract of particular fungal material on growth of six species of gastrointestinal bacteria that belong to both aerobic and anaerobic and, consist with harmful and commensal categories. The appropriate concentration level of hot water extract of both strains was identified. The individual specific bacterial growing media were prepared and calculated; amounts of bacteria cultures were inoculated by using micro pipettes. The optical density and number of bacterial colonies were measured after 24 hours. The pure mycelial extract of P. hepiali with 2 × 10-3 g\/ml of concentration has significant effect on depleting the growth of E. coli, E. faecalis, S. aureus, L. gasseri and B. ovatus bacteria. B. longum has no significant effect by particular extract. Same type of extract of C. militaris has significantly reduced the growth of every bacteria used in this study. Hot water extract of C. militaris cultivated on soy bean has significant growth retardation toward E. coli, E. faecalis, S. aureus and L. gasseri. It has stimulated the growth of B. ovatus and B. longum which are considered as beneficial bacteria for human gut. This study shows that extracts of both mycelia include antimicrobial substances like cordycepin and ergosterol which can be used as food supplements to enhance human gut health. KEYWORDS Ophiocordyceps sinensis , Cordyceps militaris , Antibacterial Activity, Human Gut Bacteria 1. IntroductionThe wild Ophiocordyceps sinensis and Cordyceps militaris are important kind of medicinal fungi belonging to the phylum Ascomycota. Those are an abundant resource in nature with various biological activities and have been used extensively as a tonic and health supplement [1] . Chioza et al. reported that Paecilomyces hepiali and Hirsutella sinensis do coexist in O. sinensis. They found DNA of these fungi in both the caterpillar and fruiting bodies of natural O. sinensis. However, those isolates commonly exist in natural O. sinensis as a result of being endoparasites or epiphytes of the host insect [2] . In this study, P. hepiali and C. militaris have been used to prepare mycelial hot water extract.O. sinensis is a macro fungus of biomedical importance, contains a number of bioactive components. Many of them are biological response modifiers which activate our immune systems for a multitude of defensive functions. The immunomodulating effects are associated with its antitumor activity [1] and lower fasting plasma levels of glucose and insulin improve oral glucose tolerance, and increase glucose-insulin index [3] . Extract of O. sinensis has inhibited hepatic fibrogenesis [4] in rats with CCl4-induced liver fibrosis and reduced the weight loss, polydipsia, and hyperglycemia in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats [5] . The water extract of C. militaris has reduced fasting serum glucose level and enhanced glucose utilization in skeletal muscles and improved insulin secretion in rats [6] . The bioactive constituents of particular fungus have been extracted such as cordycepin, polysaccharides, ergosterol, mannitol, and adenosine [7] [8] . Meanwhile, various pharmacological actions of these chemical constituents have been reported, including antitumor effect, antioxidant, nephroprotective, antiapoptotic, antibacterial properties and inflammatory effects [1] which are the most proverbial effect of O. sinensis and C. militaris.The effect of O. sinensis and C. militaris may be caused by a single active ingredient or by the combined action of many active agents that existed in the extractions. Research is necessary to get an overview about the genus Ophiocordyceps and Cordyceps because of the increasing interest both for medicine and mycology [9] [10] . This study has been observed pharmacological actions of the P. hepiali and C. militaris for its significant role in the development of new drugs and therapeutics for various bacterial diseases.Gastrointestinal BacteriaColonization of the gastrointestinal tract of newborn infants starts immediately after birth and occurs within a few days. Pioneer bacteria can modulate expression of genes in host epithelial cells [11] thus creating a favorable habitat for themselves, and can prevent growth of other bacteria introduced later in the ecosystem. The composition of the gut bacteria community in the stomach and colon is distinctive, which is mainly due to different physicochemical conditions, such as intestinal motility, pH value, redox condition, nutrients and host secretions. Additionally, they can be influenced by many factors, such as the use of antibiotics, illness, stress, aging, bad dietary habits and lifestyle [12] [13] .Generally around 400 species of bacteria have evolved and adapted to live and grow in the human intestine. The large intestine contains a complex and dynamic microbial ecosystem with high densities of living bacteria, which achieve concentrations of up to 1011 or 1012 cells\/g of luminal contents [14] . The genera Bacteroides, Bifidobacterium, Eubacterium, Clostridium, Peptococcus, Peptostreptococcus, and Ruminococcus are predominant in human beings, whereas aerobes (facultative anaerobes) such as Escherichia, Enterobacter, Enterococcus, Klebsiella, Lactobacillus, Proteus, etc. are among the subdominant genera [15] . Bacteria can supply essential nutrients, synthesize vitamin K, aid in the digestion of cellulose, and promote angiogenesis and enteric nerve function. They produce a wide spectrum of enzymes that, being reductive and hydrolytic in nature, are actively involved in many processes in the colon, such as carbohydrate and protein fermentation, bile acid and steroid transformation, metabolism of xenobiotic substances, as well as the activation and destruction of potential mutagenic metabolites [12] [16] . Nitroreductase, azoreductase, N-oxide and sulfoxide reductase are the most extensively investigated reductive enzymes, while glucosidase and glucronidase are the most extensively studied hydrolytic enzymes [14] .Some of these bacteria are potential pathogens and can be a source of infection and sepsis under some circumstances for instance when the integrity of the bowel barrier is physically or functionally breached. However, the constant interaction between the host and its microbial guests can infer important health benefits to the human host. Other hand, management of microbiota in the gut is crucial specially reducing pathogenic bacteria [17] .This study has been focused on utilization of fungal material of O. sinensis and C. militaris as food supplements and evaluation of the antibacterial activities of six species of bacteria which are categorized as commensal and pathogenic have been done. The fungal extract or synthesized drug from particular fungi can be used as prebiotic for target bacteria or symbiotic with ameliorated bacteria strains and also used as a selective inhibitor towards harmful bacteria.2. Materials and Methods2.1. Fungal StrainThe P. hepiali strain which used in this study was originally brought from Jilin Agricultural University, China and assigned to accession number KUMB1081 and C. militaris assigned to accession number KUMB1061 in the mushroom culture bank at the Laboratory of Forest Production Control, Kyushu University.2.2. Bacterial StrainThe strains which have been used this experiment and the places where bacterial strains were originally brought have been shown in Table 1.2.3. Culture Condition and Media PreparationThe E. faecalis, S. aureus and E. coli were grown in LB broth (Difco) at 37˚C. Culture media of the E. coli was shaken to provide optimum growing condition. Other strains have been incubated at 37˚C. Colony counting was done by using agar powder (Waco) ameliorated LB broth. The L. gasseri, B. longum and B. ovatus have been cultured in GAM broth (Nissui) at 37˚C. Those strains have been provided anaerobiosis conditions by using anaeropack (Mitsubishi Gas Chemical Co., Inc.). The cell enumerations have been carried out on modified GAM media which agar powder (Waco) was ameliorated to the media (24 hours at 37˚C).Two different types of hot water extracts of both P. hepiali and C. militaris were prepared. Two flaks with 500 ml of potato dextrose broth (Difco) were prepared according to company instruction. Meanwhile, oil removed soy bean, wheat brand and distilled water were mixed at a ratio of 4:1:2 and put in to polypropylene bags. Both flaks and both bags were autoclaved at 121˚C for 30 minutes. After overnight cooling, a 5 mm diameter agar plugs with actively growing mycelium of both fungal strains were inoculated in to each potato dextrose broth and soy bean media. Those media were incubated under 25˚C for 20 days. Potato dextrose broth was used for obtain pure mycelia of both fungal strains. Day 20, both types of cultures have reached appropriate amount of mycelia. Liquid media were filtered (Advantec, 0.45 μm) and mycelial mats were collected. Mycelia were dried for 12 hours at 50˚C. From each strain, 5 g of pure mycelia were collected by following same method for few flasks and mycelia chopped by using electrical blender. When they broken in to small pieces, 500 ml of water was added and continue more few minutes. This mixture was boiled 3 hours and residual were filtered by using Advantec vacuum filter unit with 0.45 μm filter papers at first. Then 0.2 μm filter papers were used for obtaining more purified extract. Rotary evaporator was used to evaporate excess water from extract for concentrate the solution up to 2 × 10−3 g\/ml. Pycnometer (specific gravity bottle) method was used measuring the concentrations of the extracts. Then severalTable 1. Information of bacterial strains (accession number and origin).levels of concentrations were prepared by adding required amount of water. Both strains which were fully colonized on soy bean media were dried as above method and 50 g were collected. Compared to pure mycelia, soy bean media includes many substances which are removed at filtration process. That’s why 50 g of soy bean media was taken and they were broken in to small parts by using blender. Then 500 ml of water were added in to blender and continue more few minutes. Same procedure was continued for making concentrated hot water extract.2.4. Experiment Set up2.5. Statistical AnalysisThe analyses were done using Minitab 18 statistical software (Minitab Inc.) and Microsoft Excel. Identification of statistical differences within treatments was done by Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) followed by Tukey’s post hoc test. All the analyses were done with 0.05 significance levels. All graphs are presented with standard error bars.3. Results and DiscussionThe identification of antibacterial effect expressed by hot water extracts of both P. hepiali and C. militaris was done. The limited spectrum of antibacterial activity of the aqueous extracts has been compared with the control. It was hard to justify since all the extracts contained the metabolites, though not in the same proportions. As shown in Table 2, effective concentration of extract was evaluated for further experiment by using both aerobic and anaerobic bacterial strains. Nutritional requirements of higher fungi play critical role in production of mycelia in submerged cultures. It has been found that medium constituents strongly affect chemical composition, structure and productivity [19] [20] . Mycelial biomass is one of the useful product containing various bioactive compounds, production yield of mycelial biomass should be simultaneously considered in the processes of submerged culture of P. hepiali and C. militaris.3.1. Effect of Concentration Levels on Bacterial GrowthThe clue was given by the result shown in Table 2 that extract of P. hepiali has anti bacterial effect. The bacterial growth of E. coli and L. gasseri in every concentration level show less growth compared with its own controls in terms of optical density of 600 nm [13] [21] . Suggestion can be made as the extracts have one or more antibacterial compound that has been dissolved. It has been reported the active components of Cordyceps and O. sinensis are peptides, a glycoprotein, DNase [3] , adenosine, adenine, hypoxanthine, cordycepin [22] .The inner cellular material of the both mycelium of P. hepiali and C. militaris are important for inhibit bacterial growth. As expected, high concentration has high effect on bacterial growth inhibition. Both aerobic and anaerobic bacterial strains were responded with growth retardations. It has been reported that high concentration of extract provided significant effect on bacterial inhibition [23] . The concentration of 2 × 10−3 g\/ml has shown significantly lower bacterial growth compared with other low concentration levels in terms of OD 600 nm. In this study, 2 × 10−3 g\/ml of concentration has been used for further treatments.The bacterial growths of selected six types of bacteria in the presence of pure mycelial hot water extract of P. hepiali and C. militaris have been shown in Table 3. Control plots of each bacterial strain have been represented its growth without adding any extract.Table 2. This table represents four different concentration levels of pure mycelial extract of P. hepiali effect on two different bacterial strains. The values in last four columns represent every mean ± SD of OD 600 nm values measured at 24 hours after inoculations. Values in the same column and its own control column with different letters differ significantly according to Tukey’s test (p \u0026lt; 0.05).Table 3. This table represents the effect of pure mycelial hot water extracts of both P. hepiali and C. militaris on six different bacterial strains. The values in each column represent every mean ± SD of OD 600 nm values measured at 24 hours after inoculations. Values in the same row with different letters differ significantly according to Tukey’s test (p \u0026lt; 0.05).It has been reported that cordycepin mainly dissolved in submerged cultures [24] , referring to extract preparation of this study extracellular secretions in submerged culture has been filtered and completely wash away. The mycelia with remaining intracellular substances were used for extract preparation. It has been suggested that antibacterial substances can be found inner cellular part of mycelia as well. That might be cordycepin or ergosterol. As for the extracellular polysaccharides from mycelial cultures of Cordyceps, different constituents have been demonstrated according to species and culture conditions [24] [25] .3.2. Effect on Aerobic Bacterial GrowthEven though inside of gut consist with lack of oxygen environment, there are so many type of facultative anaerobes bacteria. The effects of pure mycelial hot water extracts of both P. hepiali and C. militaris on aerobic bacteria have been shown in Figure 1.The inhibition effect done by extract of both P. hepiali and C. militaris was not a selective effect on specific bacterial strain but the strength of inhibition was different among bacteria strain and between two extracts. Pure mycelial hot water extract of both P. hepiali and C. militaris have significant effect of bacterial growth inhibition towards E. coli, E. faecalis and S. aureus.3.3. Effect on Anaerobic Bacterial GrowthThe human gut accommodates hundred of anaerobic bacteria as well. Out of them, growth of three selected bacterial strain at the presence of hot water extracts of pure mycelia has been presented in Figure 2.The inhibition effect done by pure mycelial extracts of P. hepiali was represented a selective effect on specific bacteria. Particular extract has no anyFigure 1. This graph represents the effect of pure mycelial hot water extracts of both P. hepiali and C. militaris on three different aerobic bacterial strains. The values in each column represent every mean ± SD of OD 600 nm values measured at 24 hours after inoculations. The error bars represent standard error. Means values in the same bacterial strain that do not share a letter are significantly different according to Tukey’s test (p \u0026lt; 0.05).Figure 2. This graph represents the effect of pure mycelial hot water extracts of both P. hepiali and C. militaris on three different anaerobic bacterial strains. The values in each column represent every mean ± SD of OD 600 nm values measured at 24 hours after inoculations. The error bars represent standard error. Means values in the same bacterial strain that do not share a letter are significantly different according to Tukey’s test (p \u0026lt; 0.05).significant effect on growth inhibition of B. lonum strain. Meanwhile, extract of C. militaris has significnly inhibited bacterial growth of every selected strain in terms of OD 600 nm measurements.Even though extracellular polymeric substances washed away from pure mycelial hot water extract of both P. hepiali and C. militaris, when the mycelia submerged culture was filtered and cleaned, active compound has still been remained to inhibit bacterial growth. There were some extracellular polymeric substances which have strong biological activities as detected from fruiting bodies of Cordyceps [19] [20] . In this regard, much attention was given to prepare hot water extract with active compound from both extracellular and inner cellular parts and, soy bean solid growing media was selected.3.4. Effect on Bacterial Growth of Hot Water Extract of C. militaris Grown on Soy Bean MediaIt was generally accepted that mycelia of many different mushrooms and entomopathogenic fungi can be grown, to some extent, on a wide range of carbon sources [24] [26] . However, the nutriant source yielding maximum growth differs from species to species. C. militaris has been investigated in this study utilizing soy bean as the preferred major nutriant source. The omission of nitrogen in the medium greatly affects fungal growth and metabolite production. Nitrogen source may be supplied to media in the form of ammonia, nitrate, or as organic compounds, such as amino acids or proteins. In comparison with organic nitrogen sources, inorganic nitrogen sources often yield relatively lower mycelial biomass production than organic sources [27] [28] .The soybean steep powder and tryptone were more efficient for mycelial growth and also enhancements obtained from using the organic sources of nitrogen may indeed not only reflect the form that the nitrogen is in, but also the fact that other non nitrogen components could play a role in the improvements [29] .The bacterial strains which belong to aerobic and anaerobic categories were treated by hot water extract of C. militaris which has been cultivated on soy bean media. The growth inhibition effect was messured as OD 600 nm absorbtion and colony count method as shown in Table 4.As graphically shown in Figure 3, hot water extract of C. militaris cultivated on soy bean significantly effect on growth retardation of S. aureus, E. coli, E. faecalis and L. gasseri. Mean while, B. ovatus and B. longum have grown in hot water extract treated media at a high bacteria density compared to its controls.The colony count method was followed to obtain visual detection of the effect after optical density measurements. Colony count measurements of the bacterial cultures after 24 hours of inoculation have been presented in Figure 4. Serial dilution method was followed with 0.01 dilution factor. Hot water extract of C. militaris grown on soy bean has significant effect on growth retardation of S. aureus and E. coli. In terms of colony count there was no any significant growth retardation of bacterial strains of E. faecalis, L. gasseri, B. ovatus and B. longum.It has been identified that the active compounds as cordycepin and ergosterol which are correspondent to the antibacterial effect [13] . The cordycepin was firstTable 4. This table represents the effect of hot water extracts of C. militaris grown on soy bean media towards six different bacterial strains. The values in second and third columns represent every mean ± SD of OD 600 nm values and fourth and fifth columns represent every mean ± SD of colony count done at 24 hours after inoculations. Values of OD 600 and colony count share different letters with their own control are significantly different according to Tukey’s test (p \u0026lt; 0.05).Figure 3. This graph represents the effect of hot water extracts of C. militaris grown on soy bean media towards six different bacterial strains. The values in each column represent every mean ± SD of OD 600 nm values measured at 24 hours after inoculations. The error bars represent standard error. Means values in the same column that do not share a letter are significantly different according to Tukey’s test (p \u0026lt; 0.05).isolated from C. militaris and its structural formula was confirmed as 3'-deoxyadenosine [30] . Cordycepin is the most considerable adenosine analogue from some Cordyceps [31] , which is a derivative of the nucleoside adenosine. It was later found to be present in small amounts in O. sinensis. The cordycepin is a category of compounds that exhibits significant therapeutic potential and has many intracellular targets, including nucleic acid, apoptosis, and cell cycle. It has been reported that the variety of molecular mechanisms thatFigure 4. This figure represents the appearance and density of colonies of S. aureus and E. coli bacterial strains measured at 24 hours after inoculations. The effect of hot water extracts of C. militaris grown on soy bean media has been shown compared with colony growth of their own control. Dilution factor was 0.01 (10−2). Numbers on the dishes represented level of dilution (1). 10−4 folds dilution (2). 10−6 folds dilution (3). 10−8 folds dilution.mediate the pharmacological effects of cordycepin. Besides, they deem that cordycepin can participate in various molecular processes in cells because of its similarity with adenosine [8] . Cordycepin is a broad spectrum biocidal compound possessing not only antitumor activity but also antibacteria, antivirus, and insecticidal activities [9] . It was confirmed as a marker for C. militaris within the content profiles of nucleosides in Cordyceps product [32] . Cordycepin could be an attractive therapeutic candidate with oral activity against I\/R-associated heart diseases such as myocardial infarction [1] and also it is a potent anti-inflammatory and analgesic medicine [33] . Cordycepin can intensively regulate the functions of human immune cells in vitro [34] . It has stimulated the release of some cytokines of resting PBMCs and influenced proliferation of PBMCs and transcription factors in THP-1 cell line.The researchers have shown that cordycepin is generally present in solid substrate grown Cordyceps, but not in liquid cultured Cordyceps. The presence or absence of cordycepin is dependent upon many factors, including the method of mycelial culture [24] . In this study hot water extract of C. militaris grown on soy bean solid media has some sort of beneficial effect in terms of human gut health because compared with pure mycelial extract; soy bean extract has inhibited few harmful bacterial strains while stimulating beneficial bacterial growth.The ergosterol content in C. sinensis has been determined with HPLC method and high yield has been obtained. The ergosterol is a characteristic of fungi sterol, an important source of vitamin D2 and existed in free and combined states [35] . It is an important raw material in the production of steroid hormone drugs and food, feed, and pharmaceutical raw material [36] . The cytotoxicity and antimicrobial activity of ergosterol have been proven. It possesses weak cytotoxicity against HL-60 and BEL-7402 cell lines and moderate antimicrobial activity against the bacteria E. aerogenes and P. aeruginosa and the fungus C. albicans [12] . Genetically modified strains which biosynthesis high yield of ergosterol can be produced [37] .Adenosine is a major nucleoside in Cordyceps and plays an important role in biochemical process in the organism [1] . The content of adenosine is much higher in cultured C. sinensis than in the natural one. Among them, cultured C. sinensis has a large number of adenosines, which are much higher than those in cultured C. militaris [38] . Nucleotide named AMP can be degraded to adenosine and the source of inosine in natural C. sinensis may be the oxidative deamination of adenosine.The soy bean media which C. militaris has actively been grown or its hot water extract can be used as a prebiotic. Because it includes food ingredient that beneficially affects the host by selectively stimulating the growth, activity, or both of B. ovatus and B. longum bacterial species already resident in the colon. Moreover, fully colonized soy bean media of C. militaris can be used as method of synbiotics microflora management, in which probiotics and prebiotics are used in combination. C. militaris grown on soy bean media can be used for conjunction with B. ovatus and B. longum strains. This combination could improve the survival of the probiotic organism, because its specific substrate is readily available for its fermentation [39] . Among the various human intestinal microorganisms, bifidobacteria are often taken as useful indicators of human health under most environmental conditions, on the basis that they play important roles in metabolism such as amino acid and vitamin production, aid defense against infection, are associated with longevity, antitumor activity, pathogen inhibition, improvement of lactose tolerance of milk products, and immune potentiation.The selective growth inhibitors play important role of understanding of the biochemical or molecular mechanisms of the bacterial infection and prevention of human diseases. It would be desirable to both inhibit the growth of potential pathogens and increase the numbers of bifidobacteria in the human gut. Selective growth promoters for bifidobacteria or inhibitors for harmful bacteria are especially important for human health, because intake of these extract may normalize functions that result in the prevention of diseases caused by pathogens in the gastrointestinal tract [13] . However, human gastrointestinal tract is a complex and hostile environment, it appears unlikely that a few probiotic bacterial strain capable of influencing the microbial ecology of the host and of beneficially affecting lactose intolerance, the incidence of diarrhea, mucosal immune responses, blood cholesterol concentrations, and the induction of cancer.4. ConclusionThe P. hepiali and C. militaris derived materials intake would be expected to alter the growth and composition of the intestinal flora and modulate the genesis of potentially harmful agents, thus maintaining optimal human health. On the basis of our data and earlier findings, inhibitory action of hot water extracts of P. hepiali and C. militaris toward the S. aureus, E. coli, E. faecalis and L. gasseri used without any adverse effect on bifidobacteria used may be an indication of at least one of the pharmacological actions of P. hepiali and C. militaris. It is noteworthy that C. militaris has a more potent activity than the much more expensive C. sinensis. The natural resources of the P. hepiali and C. militaris are diminishing, and it is feasible to artificially cultivation of the fruiting bodies. Thus, it would be important to find out if both Cordyceps species possess similar activities. The bioactive constituents with potential therapeutic value which belongs to both P. hepiali and C. militaris should be isolated. Additionally, cordycepin may also have potential in the preservation of food and selective media for the propagation of bifidobacteria. New methods and technologies need to be adopted to extract and analyze the components, requiring evaluation along the modern scientific line. Discoveries are needed about these special creatures to harvest its value for development of mankind. More researches have to be made on the herbal-medicinal and therapeutic values of O. sinensis and C. militaris species.Conflicts of InterestThe authors declare no conflicts of interest regarding the publication of this paper.Conflicts of InterestThe authors declare no conflicts of interest.Cite this paper Gamage, S. , Nakayama, J. , Fuyuno, Y. and Ohga, S.
