Project description:BackgroundFemale reproductive tract development is sensitive to the endocrine-disrupting potential of environmental estrogens. Early-life exposure to the dietary phytoestrogen genistein impairs fertility and persistently alters the transcriptome in the oviduct and uterus of rodents. Glucocorticoid signaling, which has recently been shown to be essential for normal fertility in the female mouse uterus, is antagonized by genistein.ObjectiveOur goal was to determine whether early-life exposure to genistein disrupts glucocorticoid signaling in the mouse uterus, which may contribute to infertility.MethodsFemale C57Bl/6 mice were exposed to either 50 mg/kg per day genistein, 10 μg/kg per day estradiol, or vehicle (corn oil) on postnatal days 1-5 (PND1-5), and then treated with the synthetic glucocorticoid dexamethasone (Dex: 1 mg/kg) or vehicle (saline) on PND5, at weaning on PND21, or as adults on PND56 following adrenalectomy and ovariectomy to evaluate glucocorticoid responsiveness. Uteri were isolated following treatment for gene expression or chromatin immunoprecipitation.ResultsNeonatal exposure to genistein altered the uterine transcriptome of adult mice and caused substantial changes to the transcriptional response to glucocorticoids. Although expression of the glucocorticoid receptor was not affected, genistein exposure disrupted glucocorticoid receptor recruitment to specific regulatory sites in target genes. Many genes involved in chromatin remodeling were dysregulated in genistein-exposed mice, suggesting that epigenetic reprograming may contribute to the altered glucocorticoid response of the uterus following early-life exposure to genistein. These changes affected the biological activity of glucocorticoids within the uterus, as glucocorticoids antagonized the proliferative effects of estradiol in the uterus of control mice but not genistein-exposed mice.ConclusionsOur findings suggest that disruption of glucocorticoid signaling due to early-life exposure to environmental estrogens may in part render the uterus unable to support implantation. https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP1575.

Project description:To identify molecular effects of genistein on mRNA levels in prostate cancer, we compared gene expression profiles of genistein-treated tumors with placebo-treated samples. There were 628 probes that reached nominally significant p-values. The genes that were differentially expressed between genistein and placebo samples were involved in angiogenesis, apoptosis, epithelial to mesenchymal transition, and tumor progression. Gene enrichment analysis suggested that PTEN and PDGF were activated, while MYC, beta-estradiol, glucocorticoid receptor NR3C1, and interferon-gamma were repressed in response to genistein treatment. These findings highlight the effects of genistein on global changes in gene expression in prostate cancer and its effects on molecular pathways involved in prostate tumorigenesis.

Project description:Establishment of a transcriptomic profile of human cells treated with kaemferol, daidzein, kaemferol/genistein, or daidzein/genistein with particular emphasis on signature of genes coding for enzymes involved in glycosaminoglycan synthesis stands for the present study. The hypothesis tested was that kaemferol, daidzein, kaemferol/genistein, and daidzein/genistein influence expression of some genes, among which are those coding for enzymes required for the synthesis of different GAGs being pathologically accumulated in mucopolysaccharidoses. Results provide important information concerning the extent of action of kaemferol, daidzein, kaemferol/genistein, and daidzein/genistein at the molecular level in terms of modulation of gene expression.

Project description:We used gene expression profiling to investigate whether the molecular effects induced by estrogens of different provenance are intrinsically similar. In this article we show that the physiologic estrogen 17-beta-estradiol, the phytoestrogen genistein, and the synthetic estrogen diethylstilbestrol alter the expression of the same 179 genes in the intact immature mouse uterus under conditions where each chemical has produced an equivalent gravimetric and histologic uterotrophic effect, using the standard 3-day assay protocol. Data are also presented indicating the limitations associated with comparison of gene expression profiles for different chemicals at times before the uterotrophic effects are fully realized. We conclude that the case has yet to be made for regarding synthetic estrogens as presenting a unique human hazard compared with phytoestrogens and physiologic estrogens. Key words: diethylstilbestrol, estrogen, gene expression, genistein, microarray, phytoestrogen, toxicogenomics, uterus.

Project description: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:Colorectal neoplasms are the third most common malignancies in the United States. Patients with metastatic (stage IV) colorectal cancer have a median life expectancy of 2 years. The response rates to chemotherapy range from 35-40%.
Epidemiologic evidence suggests that soy compounds may reduce the incidence of colorectal cancers. Laboratory analyses demonstrate that genistein, a soy-derived compound, may inhibit Wnt signaling, a pathway activated in majority of colorectal cancers. Laboratory observations also demonstrate that genistein may augment growth inhibition when combined with chemotherapeutic agents of 5-Fluorouracil and platinum compounds.
Based on pre-clinical data the investigators hypothesize that combining genistein with the standard of care chemotherapeutic regimens will reduce chemotherapy resistance and improve response rates in patients. The aim of the study is to add genistein to the regimens of FOLFOX or FOLFOX-Avastin in patients with newly diagnosed stage IV colon or rectal neoplasms.

Project description:Gene expression profiling to identify genes significantly modulated by low and high doses of genistein in LNCaP cells. Significant genes were identified using StepMiner analysis and significantly altered pathways with Ingenuity Pathways analysis. Genistein significantly altered expression of transcripts involved in cell growth, carcinogen defenses and steroid signaling pathways. The effects of genistein on these pathways were confirmed by directly assessing dose-related effects on LNCaP cell growth, NQO-1 enzymatic activity and PSA protein expression.

Project description:Epidemiological data indicate that consumption of soy-based food significantly reduces the cancer risk in human through interaction with estrogen receptors and the ‘phytoestrogen’ genistein present in the soy is responsible for this chemopreventive activity. The epigenome regulatory effect of genistein also reported but the key mechanism behind this effect remain elusive. In this current project, we reported the epigenome modulation effect of genistein using MDA-MB231 cells. Cells were treated with low-dose genistein for >1 month and the stable epigenetic alterations were analyzed by partial MNase digestion and TMT-based quantitative proteomics based chromatome mapping approach. We identified a total of 3177 chromatin-bound proteins with high confidence, including 882 proteins that displayed altered binding topology after cell conditioning with genistein. Prolonged phytochemical exposure permanently modified the binding topology of the key epigenetic regulators and preserved their binding topology in untreated progeny. Genistein induced altered epigenome modulation negatively regulates the expression of cell proliferation genes and suppress cell growth. In contrast, previously exposed cells displayed reduced expression of DNA repair genes and enhanced genotoxic stress upon genistein withdrawal.

Project description:Exposures to environmental endocrine disruptors is growing and human contact in industrialized countries has become signficant and constant. We studied the effect of chronic exposure to two endocrine disrupting compound, bisphenol A and genistein, in an in vitro cell culture system. MCF7 cells were cultured for greater than 70 passages under normal (MCF7-F) conditions or with the addition of 50 nM BPA (MCF7-B) or GEN (MCF7-G). We performed transcriptome analysis of the all three cell lines in the absence of any estrogenic compounds and in the presence of 10 nM estradiol for 3 hours.
