Avagyan Liya Minasbekyan Siranush Nanagulyan DOI: https://doi.org/10.31989/ffhd.v14i9.1470 Abstract Background: Mushrooms are unique organisms rich in proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals, which allows them to be used not only as a source of nutrition but also in cosmetics and medicine. The fungus P. ostreatus possesses two strong enzymatic complexes – lignin-decaying and cellulose-decaying.  Objective: The research aimed to study the antitumor activity of treated mm-wave mycelial extracts of mushrooms on the HeLa cell line. Research on edible mushrooms against tumors is very actual and important for the field of functional food science and bioactive compounds field. Methods: The effect of the fungal culture extract on the cyto-photometric and morphometric indices of the HeLa cell line culture was studied according to the nature of proliferation and transcription of malignant tissues. Using high-resolution liquid chromatography, the amino acid composition of acid-soluble proteins in mycelial extracts of a mushroom culture treated with mm waves was studied. Results: Extracts of P. ostreatus mycelial culture significantly suppressed the growth of proliferative activity of human tumor cultures and completely suppressed the mitotic activity of continuous HeLa cell cultures to 72 hours. Our study revealed a significant increase in glutamic and aspartic acids in mycelial culture extracts treated by mm-waves. Conclusion:  Based on HPLC analysis, we suggest polyfunctional peroxidase as the candidate for the role of biologically active compound in the composition of aqueous extracts of the mycelial culture. So, the polyfunctional peroxidase plays an active role in the therapeutic properties of the oyster mushroom. Keywords: anticancer activity, ant-inflammation activity, mm-waves, mushroom`s, mycelial extracts, HPLC of acid-soluble proteins, HeLa cell line.
