Would Healing Activity Of A Skin Substitude From Residues Of Culinary-Medicinal Winter Mushroom Flammulina Velutipes (Agaricomycetes) Cultivation

A skin substitute TG05 obtained from residues of the culinary-medicinal mushroom Flammulina velutipes cultivation process was developed in this study for the first time. Pre-column derivatization high-performance liquid chromatography fingerprints analysis revealed that TG05 was composed of water-insoluble fibers containing xylose (57%), glucose (19.5%), and arabinose (16.3%) as major monomers. Porous and opaque structure of TG05 was demonstrated by scanning electron microscopy. Animal experiments conducted on mice and rats indicated that TG05 notably accelerated the wound-healing process. In addition, TG05 induced proliferation and migration of human keratinocytes time- and dose-dependently. Taken together, the skin substitute TG05 with new structure promotes wound healing in vitro and in vivo. This study provided a novel method to produce functional biomaterial from abundant and low-cost agricultural residues generated during edible mushroom cultivation.
