Genistein, daidzein, and glycitein are soy isoflavones. These compounds can be used to protect the skin from oxidative stress induced by UVB radiation. To this end, the feasibility of skin absorption of soy isoflavones was evaluated in the present study. As assayed by flow cytometry, UVB-induced H(2)O(2) production in keratinocytes was inhibited by genistein and daidzein, confirming that these two compounds can act as free radical scavengers when keratinocytes are photodamaged. Glycitein showed no protective activity against photodamage. The effects of vehicles on the in vitro topical delivery from saturated solutions such as aqueous buffers and soybean oil were investigated. The isoflavones in a non-ionized form (pH 6) showed higher skin deposition compared to the ionized form (pH 10.8). Soybean oil reduced the isoflavone amount retained in the skin, especially for genistein. Genistein generally exhibited greater skin absorption than did daidzein. However, daidzein permeation was enhanced when an aglycone mixture was used as the active ingredient. An eutectic effect was proposed as the enhancing mechanism. In vivo skin deposition showed a linear correlation with the in vitro results. The safety profiles suggested no or only negligible stratum corneum disruption and skin erythema by topical application of soy isoflavones. It was concluded that topical delivery may serve as a potent route for soy isoflavones against photoaging and photodamage. 相似文献

Cardiovascular diseases are known as the major causes of death or disability in western countries. Decreased bioavailability of endothelial derived nitric oxide (NO) is recognized as an important promoter in cardiovascular disease. In vivo studies suggest that phytoestrogens, especially isoflavones from soy, enhance endothelium-dependent vasoreactivity. We hypothesized that isoflavones may affect the expression of endothelial-type nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) and thereby NO formation in vitro. Human EA.hy926 endothelial cells were treated with the soybean isoflavones biochanin A and formononetin and with their metabolites genistein and daidzein. eNOS promoter activity was examined by a luciferase reporter gene assay (20 h). Active eNOS was detected by quantifying conversion of L-arginine to L-citrulline and by measuring NO released from endothelial cells using the fluorescent probe DAF-2 (20-96 h).eNOS promoter activity increased in response to isoflavone treatment (20 h). NO and L-citrulline production by EA.hy926 cells rose up to 1.7-fold of control levels after stimulation with genistein for 48-96 h. From these results, we conclude that the suggested positive effects of soy isoflavones on vascular reactivity may be indeed mediated via a long-term effect on the eNOS system. 相似文献

The wide range of potential health beneficial effects of isoflavones, including a chemoprentive action, have prompted us to study the potential benefits of genistein and daidzein in an experimental model of environmental pollution impact on lung tissue. A diesel engine placed was used to generate reproducible emissions including both gaseous and particulate matters that are commonly found in urban atmospheres. Isoflavones were added to culture medium of rat lung slices 2 h prior to their exposure to pollutants for 3 h. Intracellular ATP and GSH levels, TNF production, nucleosome assay and TUNEL labeling were monitored. Isoflavones showed almost total in vitro protection against inflammatory and pro-apoptotic responses in lung slices. Isoflavones 0.3 and 1 μmol/l protected against exhaust induced GSH depletion. Isoflavones 0.3 μmol/l appeared to exert the most beneficial effects. In conclusion, this study points out the potential interest of soy isoflavones consumption in polluted areas. Further studies should be undertaken to verify that similar effects could be obtained after in vivo administration of isoflavones. 相似文献

Phytoestrogens (PE) including isoflavones and lignans, are a group of substances of plant origin which can act as estrogen agonists or antagonists. While the immunomodulatory effects of isoflavones have been studied, little is known about the impact of lignans and other PE metabolites on the immune system. The aim of the present study was to assess whether PE and their metabolites modulate human leukocyte functions in vitro. We investigated the effects of genistein, daidzein, matairesinol, and secoisolariciresinol, including metabolites such as equol, O-desmethylangolensin, enterodiol, and enterolactone on natural killer cell activity, proliferation, cytokine secretion, as well as apoptotic and necrotic rate of human leukocytes. Genistein, daidzein, and its metabolite equol were the most potent inhibitors of leukocyte functions. Ten micromolars of genistein decreased proliferation, lytic activity of natural killer cells, and cytokine secretions. The latter proved to be the most sensitive marker of immune functions. Lignans and their metabolites had minor effects on the immune system. The antiestrogens Tamoxifen and Fulvestrant did not block the inhibition of cytokine secretion by genistein and equol. In conclusion, while physiological concentrations of isoflavones have minor effects on cytokine secretion, lignans including their major metabolites do not modulate human leukocyte functions in vitro. 相似文献

This study was aimed at evaluating the antioxidative and antigenotoxic activities of Korean fermented soybean (Chungkookjang) in vitro and in vivo. The 100% ethanol extract of Chungkookjang (CKJ) inhibited the generation of 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazine (DPPH) radicals, and had an inhibitory effect on LDL oxidation. CKJ and its constituents (genistein and daidzein) also inhibited H(2)O(2)-induced DNA damage from NIH/3T3 fibroblasts. Furthermore, they showed the cytoprotective effects against H(2)O(2)-induced cell death. In vivo study also demonstrated that an oral administration of CKJ extract (800 mg/kg/day) for 2 weeks potently inhibited the formation of malondialdehyde, the damage of DNA and the formation of micronucleated reticulocytes in KBrO(3)-treated mice. The well-known antioxidants, trolox and vitamin C, also showed the potent inhibition on these parameters. All these results indicate that CKJ extract may be a useful antigenotoxic antioxidant by scavenging free radicals, inhibiting lipid peroxidation and protecting against oxidative DNA damage. The isoflavones, genistein and daidzein, may contribute to these biological effects of CKJ extract at least in part. Korean fermented soybean (Chungkookjang) is suggested to be a promising functional food witch can prevent oxidative stress. 相似文献

Genistein is an isoflavone with oestrogenic activity that is present in a variety of soy products as a constituent of complex mixtures of bioactive compounds, whose matrix profiles play an important role in determining the overall oestrogenic bioactivity of genistein. We review data on how the profile of soy bioactive compounds can modulate genistein-stimulated oestrogen-dependent tumour growth. Our research has focused on the effects of dietary genistein on the growth of oestrogen (E)-dependent mammary tumours both in vitro and in vivo. Genistein enhances the proliferation of E-dependent human breast cancer tumour growth. In a similar manner, dietary genistein stimulates tumour growth in the chemically-induced (NMU) mammary cancer rodent model. Genistin, the glycoside of genistein, simulates growth similar to that of genistein and withdrawal of either genistein or genistin results in tumour regression. The extent of soy processing modulates the effects of dietary genistein in vivo as soy protein isolate, a highly purified and widely used source of protein that is processed to contain low, medium, and high amounts of isoflavones, stimulate the growth of the E-dependent mammary tumours in a dose dependent manner. In contrast to the more purified diets, studies with soy flour of equivalent genistein levels did not stimulate the growth of E-dependent breast cancer tumours in vivo. However, the size of these tumours also did not regress as is observed in control groups in which oestrogen and genistein have been withdrawn. The expression of the oestrogen-target genes of pS2, progesterone receptor, and cyclin D1 correlates with the growth of E-dependent tumours and has been consistently observed to be induced in response to treatment with dietary genistein. To evaluate whether dietary genistein interacts with current anti-oestrogen breast cancer therapies such as tamoxifen (TAM), we implanted E-dependent tumours into ovariectomized athymic mice and administered oestradiol, oestradiol plus TAM, or oestradiol, TAM, and dietary genistein. In these studies dietary genistein was able to negate the inhibitory effect of TAM on E-stimulated tumour growth. In summary, genistein can act as an oestrogen agonist resulting in proliferation of E-dependent human breast cancer tumours in vivo and its activity can be modulated by the presence of other bioactive components in complex soy foods. Additionally, dietary genistein can negate the inhibitory effects of TAM on E-stimulated growth of MCF-7 cell tumours implanted into ovariectomized athymic mice. 相似文献

Consumption of soy products has been linked to lower the incidence of number of cancers. Genistein, one of the principal soy isoflavones, has been shown to inhibit the growth of a number of tumor cell lines in vitro. In this study, we investigate the effects of genistein on cell growth and apoptosis in human hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2 cell by looking for the formation of nuclear apoptotic bodies and DNA ladder formation. Additionally, flow cytometry analysis with propidium iodide staining has been conducted to detect the apoptotic cells. We found inhibition of cell growth and apoptotic nuclei, DNA fragmentation and increased apoptotic cells after treatment with genistein, indicating apoptotic cell deaths. From these results we observed that genistein inhibits the growth of HepG2 cells and induce apoptosis, however, further definitive studies are needed. These results may support the potentially effective chemopreventive and/or chemotherapeutic of genistein against liver cancer. 相似文献

The transdermal absorption of the isoflavones, daidzein and genistein, applied on the skin in olive oil was studied in vivo. The concentrations of the isoflavones and their metabolites were monitored in plasma and urine by GC-MS methods. It was found that the concentration of genistein in plasma was 3-fold higher than the plasma concentration of daidzein. In contrast, daidzein excretion was 2-3-fold higher than that of genistein in urine. The excretion rate of the studied phytoestrogens in urine and their concentration in plasma was significantly decreased after repeated transdermal application. The urinary recovery of administered daidzein and genistein after the first application was 15.9% and 7.7%, respectively and this dropped to 1.6% and 0.7% after the second application. The results obtained might suggest that daidzein and genistein are captured in the skin following repeated transdermal application. 相似文献

A series of acridine-2- and -4-carboxamide-linked analogues of PtenCl2 has been prepared and evaluated for biological activity against several tumor cell lines in vitro and in vivo. The platinum complexes were generally more cytotoxic than the corresponding ligands against wild-type P388 leukemia cells in vitro, with acridine-4-carboxamide complexes being the more effective. In contrast to cisplatin and PtenCl2, the complexes were equally active in vitro against both wild-type and cisplatin-resistant P388 lines. The 4-carboxamide complexes showed high levels of in vivo activity (ILS greater than 100%) against wild-type P388 using a single-dose protocol, and one compound was also significantly active in vivo in a cisplatin-resistant line, against which cisplatin and PtenCl2 are inactive. 相似文献

A series of gold(I) coordination complexes including analogues of the antiarthritic agent auranofin 1 were evaluated for in vitro cytotoxic potency against both B16 melanoma cells and P388 leukemia cells and in vivo antitumor activity against P388 leukemia in mice. A number of the complexes showed potent cytotoxic activity in vitro and antitumor activity in vivo, with the phosphine-coordinated gold(I) thiosugar complexes demonstrating the greatest in vitro and in vivo activity. The data compiled for 63 complexes of the general structural formula LAuX provide the basis for the following observations: potent in vitro cytotoxic activity is observed for substituted (phosphine) gold complexes, lack of potency in vitro correlates well with lack of antitumor activity, potent cytotoxicity in vitro is not necessarily predictive of activity in vivo, in vivo antitumor activity is generally optimized by ligation of Au(I) with a substituted phosphine and a thiosugar. 相似文献

A series of 8-alkyl-7,8,-dihydromethotrexate analogues was prepared by direct alkylation of 7,8-dihydromethotrexate, after pilot studies were performed with simpler pteridines. These compounds are tested for in vitro inhibitory activity against Lactobacillus casei and as enzyme inhibitors against dihydrofolate reductase and thymidylate synthetase derived from this organism. All of the analogues were less inhibitory toward dihydrofolate reductase than was methotrexate but were more inhibitory toward thymidylate synthetase. The analogues were also evaluated for in vitro inhibitory activity against the CCRF-CEM human lymphoblastic leukemia cells. In vivo against the L-1210 leukemia in mice, several of the analogues exhibited some antileukemic activity. 相似文献

The results of our studies on the biological activity of side-chain modified analogues of vitamin D are reviewed. These analogues appeared to be effective in induction of cell differentiation, inhibition of tumour cell proliferation in vitro and in increasing of antitumour effect of cytostatics. On the other hand, inhibition of cytostatic-induced apoptosis by these compounds was observed. The mechanism of the antiproliferative effect of calcitriol analogues in vitro is discussed. The induction of antigens CD14 and CD11b expression and phagocytic activity of HL-60 cells after exposure to these compounds is related to their effect on cell differentiation. The differentiation of the HL-60 leukaemia cells induced by side-chain modified analogues of calcitriol increases their sensitivity to the antiproliferative effect of cisplatin, doxorubicin and genistein, despite of that this pretreatment causes resistance of these cells to cytostatics-induced apoptosis. We observed a synergistic antiproliferative effect of the combined therapy using analogues of calcitriol with subsequent treatment with the above-mentioned cytostatics. This effect was measured as a significant decrease of the ID50 values for each cytostatic applied after pretreatment of the tumour cells with the calcitriol analogues. The results presented suggest that the improved therapeutic effect may be achieved also in vivo by the combined application of the analogues (without calcemic activity) of calcitriol with antitumour agents. 相似文献

Several observational studies have suggested that populations with a high dietary soy intake have a lower incidence of osteoporosis-related fractures when compared to Western populations. However, there has not been consistent data to show that soy isoflavones protect against or lessen bone loss. Studies in our laboratory showed that genistein, the major soy isoflavone, could stimulate osteoblastic functions as well as human breast cancer cell growth. These studies raised the concern of whether it would be safe for women who have a prior history of breast cancer to consume soy isoflavone for management of postmenopausal osteoporosis. As increasing the purity of genistein is known to increase its ability to induce human breast cancer cell growth, current effort in our laboratory is to determine if the in vivo bone protective effects will be affected by the complexity of the soy isoflavones extract in ovariectomized mice. 相似文献

Soybean products containing isoflavones are widely consumed in Western and Asian diets for putative health benefits, but adverse effects are also possible. The conjugated forms of isoflavones present in a soy nutritional supplement (predominately acetyl glucosides) and in blood from two human volunteers after consuming the supplement (7- and 4'-glucuronides and sulfates) were identified using liquid chromatography coupled with electrospray/tandem mass spectrometry. Circulating conjugates of genistein and daidzein were quantified using selective enzymatic hydrolysis and deuterated internal standards for liquid chromatography-electrospray/mass spectrometry. The levels of isoflavone glucuronides were much greater than the corresponding sulfates or aglycones. The substrate activities of genistein and daidzein were evaluated with recombinant human UDP glucuronosyl transferase (UGT) and sulfotransferase (SULT) by using enzyme kinetics. The SULTs 1A1*2, 1E, and 2A1 catalyzed formation of a single genistein sulfate; however, SULTs 1A2*1 and 1A3 had no observed activity. None of the SULTs showed activity with daidzein. Although several UGTs (1A1, 1A4, 1A6, 1A7, 1A9, and 1A10) catalyzed 7- and 4'-glucuronidation of genistein or daidzein, the UGT 1A10 isoform, which is found in human colon but not liver, was found to be specific for genistein. Glucuronidation of only genistein was observed in human colon microsomes, although nearly equal activity was observed for daidzein in human liver and kidney microsomes. These findings suggest a prominent role for glucuronidation of genistein in the intestine concomitant with absorption, although hepatic glucuronidation of absorbed genistein and daidzein aglycones is also likely. 相似文献

Genistein is a phytoestrogen that occurs naturally in the diet especially in soybeans and soy-based foods. Genistein and related phytoestrogens are of interest as chemopreventive agents for a variety of diseases and cancers based on epidemiologic evidence of reduced cancer rates in populations with a high intake of soy. Although soy and its constituents have been consumed at high levels in Asian populations without apparent adverse effects, concern has been raised of potential adverse effects due to estrogenic and other activities of the isoflavones. In these studies, genistein was evaluated for mutagenicity and clastogenicity in vitro in the S. typhimurium assay (Ames Test), the mouse lymphoma assay and in vivo in the micronucleus test in mice and rats. There was no evidence for a mutagenic effect in the in vitro S. typhimurium assay with and without metabolic activation (S9). In the in vitro mouse lymphoma assay, genistein increased resistant mutants with and without metabolic activation (S9), which were predominantly small colonies indicating that genistein acts as a clastogen. Three independent in vivo micronucleus tests were performed in Moro mice, RAIf rats and Wistar rats. MORO male and female mice were treated orally for 14 days at doses up to 20 mg/kg/day. RAIf and Wistar male and female rats were treated orally at doses up to 2000 mg/kg without an increase in micronuclei in treated mice or rats. It is concluded that genistein was not mutagenic in the S. typhimurium assay or mutagenic or clastogenic in vivo in the mouse and rat micronucleus test. In the mouse lymphoma assay, genistein induced an increase of predominantly small colonies indicating that genistein acts as a clastogen. This observation is in agreement with published data on the inhibitory action of genistein on topoisomerase II, which is known to lead to chromosomal damage with a threshold dose response. 相似文献
