Genistein treatment effects upin human prostate

ABSTRACT: Prior studies support the notion that the experimental chemopreventive agent, genistein, inhibits prostate cancer (PCa) cell movement in humans and that this in turn inhibits metastatic spread, thereby preventing PCa-specific death. As many effects have been ascribed to genistein, it has been considered a non-specific agent. However, its effects are concentration-dependent, and the vast majority of studies use concentrations greater than 3 logs above those associated with dietary consumption. Genistein is found in soy, and individuals consuming soy-based diets have blood concentrations of free genistein in the low nanomalar range. Using dosing guided by phase I pharmacokinetic studies in US men, prospective treatment of men on a phase II trial with genistein for one month prior to radical prostatectomy for localized PCa. Here we conducted an unbiased screening for effects of genistein in prostate as well as evaluate changes between normal and cancer cells.

Project description:Background There are conflicting reports on the impact of soy on breast carcinogenesis. This study examines the effects of soy supplementation on breast cancer-related genes and pathways. Methods Women (n = 140) with early-stage breast cancer were randomized to soy protein supplementation (n = 70) or placebo (n = 70) for 7 to 30 days, from diagnosis until surgery. Adherence was determined by plasma isoflavones: genistein and daidzein. Gene expression changes were evaluated by NanoString inin pre- and post-treatment tumor tissue. Genome-wide expression analysis was performed on post-treatment tissue. Proliferation (Ki67) and apoptosis (Cas3) were assessed by immunohistochemistry. Results Plasma isoflavones rose in the soy group (two-sided Wilcoxon rank-sum test, P < .001) and did not change in the placebo group. In paired analysis of pre- and post-treatment samples, 21 genes (out of 202) showed altered expression (two-sided Student’s t-test, P < .05). Several genes including FANCC and UGT2A1 revealed different magnitude and direction of expression changes between the two groups (two-sided Student’s t-test, P < .05). A high-genistein signature consisting of 126 differentially expressed genes was identified from microarray analysis of tumors. This signature was characterized by overexpression (>2 fold) of cell cycle transcripts, including those which promote cell proliferation, such as FGFR2, E2F5, BUB1, CCNB2, MYBL2, CDK1, and CDC20 (P < .01). Soy intake did not result in statistically significant changes in Ki67 or Cas3. Conclusions Gene expression associated with soy intake and high plasma genistein define a signature characterized by overexpression of FGFR2 and genes that drive cell cycle and proliferation pathways. These findings raise the concerns that in a subset of women soy could adversely affect gene expression in breast cancer. Genome-wide expression analysis was performed on breast cancer tissue from women following treatment with soy (n=28) or placebo (n=23).
