In particular, it has been shown that C. versicolor extract suppressed the proliferation of T47D, MCF7, and MDA-MB231 cells with a magnitude similar to the anti-cancer drug mitomycin C. These effects are exerted through the induction of apoptotic cell death, the upregulation of p53, and the downregulation of Bcl-2 [78]. Here, BCL2 is linked to cancer.
