Project description:We report that the phytoestrogen genistein acts as a tissue-specific androgen receptor modulator in mouse using a novel androgen reporter mouse line and gene expression profiling. Genistein is a partial androgen agonist/antagonist in prostate, brain, and testis but not in skeletal muscle or lung. Gene expression profiling has been done from prostates of intact and castrated male mice treated with genistein or vehicle. Gene expression profiling was also done from prostates of estradiol-treated intact male mice.

Gene expression profiling from prostates of castrated and intact male mice after 5-day genistein- or vehicle-treatment or after 4-day estradiol- or vehicle-treatment.
Project description:To describe the protein profile in hippocampus, colon and ileum tissue’ changing after the old faeces transplants, we adopted a quantitative label free proteomics approach.
Project description:HCI-13 patient-derived xenograft was treated with vehicle or a tissue-selective androgen receptor modulator (SARM), enobosarm. RNA was extracted from the tumors and microarray was performed. Objective: The objective of the study is to determine the effect of an androgen receptor (AR) agonist or a selective AR modulator (SARM) on hormone receptor-positive breast cancer growth in preclinical models and to determine the underlying mechanism of action.
