Abstract
Mitochondrial dysfunction is one of the important signs of cellular and even individual aging. Ganoderma lucidum is a common edible and medicinal mushroom, widely used as a functional food in Asia. This study investigated the potential anti-aging effects of Ganoderma lucidum extract (GLE). Our results demonstrated that GLE alleviated cellular oxidative stress, reduced the abnormal increase of mitochondrial ROS in aging cells, and maintained mitochondrial membrane integrity and inner membrane potential. Additionally, GLE affected mitochondrial biogenesis in aging cells. In a murine photoaging model, GLE treatment mitigated UVA-induced mitochondrial dysfunction while markedly attenuating UVA-triggered epidermal thickening and dermal protein depletion. These properties may be interrelated with the presence of abundant triterpenoids identified by LC-MS analysis.
