The results of several epidemiological studies have suggested that a soybean-based diet is associated with a lower risk of prostate cancer. We investigated the effect of the soy isoflavone genistein on the proliferation and contact-stimulated migration of rat prostatic carcinoma MAT-LyLu and AT-2 cell lines. Genistein almost completely inhibited the growth of both MAT-LyLu and AT-2 cells in the concentration range from 25 to 100 μM, but the addition of 1 μM genistein to the medium significantly…

Inhibition of cancer cell invasion and metastasis by genistein
TLDR
The variety of mechanisms by which genistein regulates individual steps of the metastatic cascade are discussed and the potential of this natural product as a promising therapeutic inhibitor of metastasis is highlighted.
Multi-targeted therapy of cancer by genistein.
Regulation of telomerase by genistein in human prostate cancer cells
TLDR
The data collectively suggests that physiologically achievable concentrations of genistein enhance cancer cell proliferation by increasing telomerase activity via STAT3 activation mediated by upstream signaling proteins.

Genistein affects proliferation and migration of bovine oviductal epithelial cells.
Apigenin inhibits growth and motility but increases gap junctional coupling intensity in rat prostate carcinoma (MAT-LyLu) cell populations
TLDR
In vitro data indicates that apigenin may affect cancer development in general, and prostate carcinogenesis in particular, via its influence on cellular activities decisive for both cancer promotion and progression, including cell proliferation, gap junctional coupling and cell motility and invasiveness.
Genistein inhibits hepatocellular carcinoma cell migration by reversing the epithelial–mesenchymal transition: Partial mediation by the transcription factor NFAT1
TLDR
In vivo, genistein inhibited hepatocellular carcinoma cell migration by reversing the EMT, which was partly mediated by NFAT1.

Growth inhibition of prostate cell lines in vitro by phyto-oestrogens.
TLDR
These results offer further support for the hypothesized role of phyto-oestrogens as dietary protectors against prostatic cancer.
Soy isoflavones suppress invasiveness of breast cancer cells by the inhibition of NF-kappaB/AP-1-dependent and -independent pathways.
TLDR
It is demonstrated that genistein suppresses cell adhesion and migration by inhibiting the constitutively active transcription factors NF-kappaB and AP-1, resulting in the suppression of secretion of urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) in breast cancer cells MDA-MB-231.
Effect of mammalian lignans on the growth of prostate cancer cell lines.
TLDR
ED and EL suppress the growth of prostate cancer cells, and may do so via hormonally-dependent and independent mechanisms.
Genistein, a dietary-derived inhibitor of in vitro angiogenesis.
TLDR
Genistein may represent a member of a new class of dietary-derived anti-angiogenic compounds that contribute to the preventive effect of a plant-based diet on chronic diseases, including solid tumors, by inhibiting neovascularization.
Flavonoid apigenin inhibits motility and invasiveness of carcinoma cells in vitro
TLDR
Observations indicate that apigenin exerts its anti‐invasive effect on HeLa cells predominantly via a specific inhibition of tumour cell motility, and demonstrates that Apigenin may exert its anti-tumorigenic effect in vivo via inhibition of tumor cell penetration of the healthy tissue.

TLDR
Genistein elicits pleiotropic molecular changes that resulting in the inhibition of cell growth and the induction of apoptotic cell death of head and neck cancer cells, which suggests that genistein may be useful as a chemotherapeutic and/or chemopreventive agent for head and head cancer.
Potential mechanism of phytochemical-induced apoptosis in human prostate adenocarcinoma cells: Therapeutic synergy in genistein and β-lapachone combination treatment
TLDR
The data demonstrate that both genistein-and bLap-induced apoptosis are mostly but not completely dependent on CPP32 and NQO1 respectively, and justifies consideration of these phytochemicals in chemotherapeutic strategic planning.
Genistein, daidzein and glycitein inhibit growth and DNA synthesis of aortic smooth muscle cells from stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats.
TLDR
Soybean isoflavones, with their inhibitory effects on natural and PDGF-BB-induced SMC proliferation, may be useful in attenuatating such proliferation, a basic mechanism involved in atherosclerotic vascular change, thereby preventing atherosclerosis-related cardiovascular diseases.
