BACKGROUND
The existence of breast cancer stem-like cells (BCSCs) has profound implications for cancer prevention. Genistein, a predominant isoflavone found in soy products, has multiple robust anti-tumor effects in various cancers, especially in the breast and prostate cancer. In this study, we
Genistein, a natural isoflavonoid found in soybean products, has been proposed to be associated with a lower rate of breast cancer in Asian women. Studies from our laboratory and others have shown that genistein can induce apoptosis by regulating the expression of apoptosis-related genes in breast
BACKGROUND
Tamoxifen users sometimes seek complementary and alternative medicine advice for treatment of a variety of illness and co-administer with phytoestrogen-containing herbs, resulting in an increasing concern of its influence in subsequent endometrial cancer risk. Our study aims to determine
Most breast cancers are estrogen dependent and were sensitive to endocrine therapy, and genistein (GEN) shows strong affinity with human oestrogen receptor beta (ERβ).The present study aimed to investigate the anticancer activity of GEN in breast cancer Although genistein has been shown to inhibit tumorigenesis in a variety of human cancers including pancreatic cancer (PC), the exact molecular mechanism of its anti-cancer effects has not yet been fully elucidated. Recently, microRNAs (miRNAs) have been reported to regulate multiple aspects of tumor
Genistein, a natural isoflavanoid phytoestrogen, is thought to be the active ingredient in soy that possesses breast cancer preventive properties. The molecular mechanisms that are involved in its cancer preventive properties have not been completely understood. The present study is designed to
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women. Because genetics is believed to account for only 10-15% of breast cancer cases, the environment, including nutrition, is thought to play a significant role in predisposing women to this cancer. Studies of Asian women suggest that those who consume a
Genistein, a natural isoflavonoid phyto-oestrogen, inhibits the tyrosine kinase activity of growth factor receptors and oncogene products, as well as the in vitro growth of some tumour cell lines. The low incidence of breast cancer in countries with a flavonoid-rich soy-based diet and the protection
Genistein, a major isoflavone found in soybeans, exhibits anticarcinogenic properties. The inhibitory effect of genistein on cell proliferation is associated with G2/M cell cycle arrest and inhibition of cdc2 activities. Here we assessed the role of PTEN in regulation of genistein-mediated G2/M cell
Bladder cancer is the most common malignant urological disease in China. Hydroxycamptothecin (HCPT) is a DNA topoisomerase I inhibitor, which has been utilized in chemotherapy for bladder cancer for nearly 40 years. Previous research has demonstrated that the isoflavone, genistein, can sensitize
Genistein, the predominant isoflavone found in soy products, has exerted its anticarcinogenic effect in many different tumor types in vitro and in vivo. Accumulating evidence in recent years has strongly indicated the existence of cancer stem cells in gastric cancer. Here, we showed that low doses
Genistein (GEN) is a phytoestrogen found in soybeans. GEN exerts its functions through its interaction with the estrogen receptors (ER), ERα and ERβ, and we previously reported that the ERα/ERβ ratio is an important factor to consider in GEN-treated breast cancer cells. The aim of this study was to
While many studies have documented tamoxifen's benefits as an adjuvant therapy in the treatment and prevention of recurrent breast cancer in estrogen receptor positive (ER+) breast carcinoma, this beneficial effect may decrease with long-term tamoxifen use. This experimental study was designed to
Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in men in the United States. Epidemiological studies indicate that susceptibility to prostate cancer may be partly due to environmental influences, especially diet. An association has been shown between decreased prostate cancer
Considered a chemopreventive agent, the ability of genistein to modulate the progression of existing prostate cancer (CaP) is not clear. We show here that the consumption of genistein (250 mg/kg diet) by 12-week-old transgenic adenocarcinoma mouse prostate (TRAMP-FVB) mice harboring prostatic
