چکیده

Phytoestrogens are natural compounds with anticancer, proliferation, differentiation, and chemopreventive effects, for which several mechanisms have been proposed. In the present study, modulation of Brca1 and Brca2 expression by different phytoestrogen-rich diets has been investigated in ovariectomized Wistar rats. Two hundred mammary glands were harvested in three independent experiments. Brca1 and Brca2 mRNAs were quantified by real-time quantitative reverse transcription-PCR, and their proteins by immunohistochemistry. The first experiment compared the influence of different phytoestrogens [flax-seed, isoflavones (IFs), or rutin]. A 10% increase in Brca1 mRNA expression was shown after flax-seed consumption, whereas no variation was noted for Brca2 mRNA, nor for Brca1 and Brca2 proteins. In the second experiment, two soy IFs sources (Novasoy or Soylife) were given at different concentrations to the animals. Only Brca2 mRNA was increased and only at high doses. Finally, the effect of IFs was compared with that of estradiol. An increase in mRNA for both genes was noted after estradiol treatment and with the highest dose of IFs. In conclusion, our results show that IFs, given in the diet at different doses, are able to increase Brca1 and Brca2 mRNA in ovariectomized female Wistar rat. However, no variation in Brca1 or Brca2 protein expression was demonstrated, whatever the experimental conditions were.

Background & Aims: Cancer is a genetic disease that results from mutations in genes that control cell activities. Prostate cancer is one of the most common types of cancers in men. Surgery, radiation therapy, hormone therapy, and chemotherapy are used to treat this disease. These treatments have numerous side effects after treatment, including impotence along with the high cost of treatment. In...

The soy isoflavone genistein promotes apoptosis in mammary epithelial cells by inducing the tumor suppressor PTEN.

The isoflavone genistein (GEN), a biologically active component of soy foods, is associated with reduced breast cancer risk in women who consume soy-rich diets. GEN has been reported to influence many biological processes, of which suppression of cell proliferation and stimulation of apoptosis are considered to be the major pathways underlying its inhibition of tumorigenesis. This study evaluat...

Investigation of p53 and p27 expressions in the N-nitroso-N-methylureainduced breast cancer in female Wistar Albino rats

Introduction: N-nitroso-N-methylurea (NMU) is a carcinogen from nitrosamines family, which has been used to induce breast cancer in rodents. This model of breast cancer is very similar to the estrogen dependent breast cancer in human. As a continuation of our recent works, in the present study, the expressions of both p53 and p27 were investigated in NMU-induced breast cancer in Wistar Albin...

Detection of BRCA1 and BRCA2 germline mutations in Japanese population using next-generation sequencing

Tumor suppressor genes BRCA1 and BRCA2 are the two main breast and ovarian cancer susceptibility genes, and their genetic testing has been used to evaluate the risk of hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC). While several studies have reported the prevalence of BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations in Japanese populations, there is insufficient information about deleterious mutations compared with wes...
