Caffeine overcomes genistein-induced G2/M cell cycle arrest in breast cancer cells.

چکیده
Although inhibition of tumor cell growth by genistein is mediated by different types of cell cycle arrest, its regulation of genes related to the cell cycle is not clear. In this study, genistein caused a concentration-dependent growth inhibition in the hormone-independent cell line MDA-MB-435S. Flow cytometric analysis showed that genistein induced a concentration-dependent accumulation of cells in the G2/M phase of the cell cycle. Caffeine enhanced the inhibition of cell proliferation induced by genistein. Caffeine alone did not have an appreciable effect on the phases of the cell cycle, but caffeine at 3 mM completely eliminated genistein-induced G2/M cell cycle arrest. cDNA microarrays were used to investigate the mechanism of genistein-induced, caffeine-negated G2/M arrest. We identified 12 genes, which had opposite responses to genistein and caffeine treatments. Among these, 5 genes were upregulated by genistein and downregulated by caffeine; 7 genes were downregulated by genistein and upregulated by caffeine. Reversal by caffeine of genistein-induced G2/M phase arrest in breast cancer cell lines could increase their sensitivity to genistein and enhance genistein-induced inhibition of cell growth. Genes that have opposite responses to genistein and caffeine may be involved in regulation of the G2/M phase of the cell cycle.

Objective(s):Berberine, a naturally occurring isoquinoline alkaloid, has shown antitumor properties in some in vitro systems. But the effect of berberine on breast cancer has not yet been completely studied. In this study, we evaluated anticancer properties of berberine in comparison to doxorubicin. Materials and Methods: The antiproliferative effects of berberine and doxorubicin alone and in ...

Genistein, a soy metabolite, is a potential chemopreventive agent against various types of cancer. There are several studies documenting molecular alterations leading to cell cycle arrest and induction of apoptosis in a variety of cancer cells; however, no studies, to date, have shown the effect of genistein in isogenic normal and malignant breast epithelial cells. In this study, we investigate...

Objective(s):Multidrug resistance (MDR) of cancer cells is a major obstacle to successful chemotherapy. Overexpression of breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) is one of the major causes of MDR. In addition, it has been shown that PI3K/Akt signaling pathway involves in drug resistance. Therefore, we evaluated the effects of novel approaches including siRNA directed against BCRP and targeted t...

Soybean isoflavones have been used as a potential preventive agent in anticancer research for many years. Genistein is one of the most active flavonoids in soybeans. Accumulating evidence suggests that genistein alters a variety of biological processes in estrogen-related malignancies, such as breast and prostate cancers. However, the molecular mechanism of genistein in the prevention of human ...

Breast cancer is one of the most lethal cancers affecting women worldwide and was estimated to account for ~30% of all new cancer diagnoses in women. Although available evidence has proved the tumor suppressor role of genistein in cancer, the underling mechanisms have remained to be fully elucidated. S-phase kinase-associated protein 2 (Skp2) has been revealed to critically enhance the pathogen...
