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
Sex hormone replacement therapy provides several advantages in the quality of life for climacteric women. However, estrogen-induced cell proliferation in the uterus and mammary gland increases the risk of cancer development in these organs. The lower incidence of mammary cancer in Asian women as
In this study, we investigated the antiproliferative activity of the isoflavones daidzein and genistein in three breast cancer cell lines with different patterns of estrogen receptor (ER) and c‑erbB‑2 protein expression (ERα‑positive MCF‑7 cells, c‑erbB‑2‑positive SK‑BR‑3 cells and
The soyabean isoflavones genistein and daidzein, which may protect against some cancers, cardiovascular disease and bone mineral loss, undergo substantial Phase 2 metabolism, predominantly glucuronidation. We observed a correlation between rates of metabolism of marker substrates of specific UGTs
Although soy consumption is associated with breast cancer prevention, the low bioavailability and the extensive metabolism of soy-active components limit their clinical application. Here, the impact of daidzein (D) and its metabolites on estrogen-dependent anti-apoptotic pathway has been evaluated
OBJECTIVE
To determine whether genistein and daidzein, the major phytoestrogens in soy, can stimulate breast cancer growth.
RESULTS
Systematic search through primary English-language literature on MEDLINE (1966-January 2001), EMBASE (1982-January 2001) and Current Contents (1998-January
OBJECTIVE
This study was carried out to explore anti-breast cancer potential of isoflavone daidzein or its related compounds using appropriate animal models and their anti-tumor mechanism.
METHODS
Daidzein or its major metabolite equol at a dose molar equivalent to tamoxifen [1.0 mg(2.7 μmol)/kg or
We examined the mechanisms by which daidzein inhibits the growth of breast cancer cells. First, we investigated its antiproliferative effects in MCF-7 and MDA-MB-453 cells exposed to 1-100 microM daidzein for 24, 48, or 72 h. Daidzein significantly inhibited cell proliferation in a dose- and
OBJECTIVE
The soy isoflavone genistein has been described to up-regulate breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) and, thus, enhance chemoresistance in breast cancer cells. The aim of this work was to assess the effect of long- and short-term incubation with daidzein, the second most abundant soy
The dietary polyphenols genistein and daidzein are potent effectors of biological processes. The plasma profile of both isoflavones is governed by the presence of phase II conjugates, mainly glucuronides and sulfates. Breast cancer resistance protein (ABCG2/BCRP) interacts with genistein and
Genistein and daidzein are the main isoflavones in legumes. Equol is an intestinal bacterial metabolite of daidzein. In this study, we evaluated the estrogenic potential of daidzein and synthetic (+/-)-equol to stimulate growth of estrogen-dependent breast cancer (MCF-7) in vitro and in vivo. We
The beneficial effect of dietary soy food intake, especially for women diagnosed with breast cancer, is controversial, as in vitro data has shown that the soy isoflavones genistein and daidzein may even stimulate the proliferation of estrogen-receptor alpha positive (ERα+) breast cancer cells at low
In breast cancer, the cytokine tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) induces cell invasion, although the molecular basis of it has not been clearly elucidated. In this study, we investigated the role of daidzein in regulating TNF-α induced cell invasion and the underlying molecular mechanisms. Daidzein
Topotecan (TPT), a semisynthetic derivative of camptothecin, has been used in cancer chemotherapy, but side effects and drug resistance limit its clinical application. Daidzein (DAI), a natural isoflavone and bioactive food component widely existing in fruits, nuts, soybeans and soy-based products,
OBJECTIVE
Soy isoflavones may inhibit tumor cell invasion and metastasis via their effects on matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and their tissue inhibitors (TIMPs). The current study investigates the effects of daidzein, R- and S-equol on the invasion of MDA-MB-231 human breast cancer cells and the
