Background: Several secondary metabolites from herbal nutrient products act as weak estrogens (phytoestrogens), competing with endogenous estrogen for binding to the estrogen receptors and inhibiting steroid converting enzymes. However, it is still unclear whether these compounds elicit estrogen dependent transcription of genes at physiological concentrations. Methods: We compare the effects of physiological concentrations (100 nM) of the two phytoestrogens Enterolactone and Quercetin and the…

Exogenous hormonal regulation in breast cancer cells by phytoestrogens and endocrine disruptors.
TLDR
Chemistry, structure and classification, estrogen signaling and the consequences of the interactions of estrogens, phytoestrogens and xenoestrogens with their receptors, the complex interactions of endogenous and exogenous ligands, the evaluation of the health risks related to xenoESTrogens, and the perspectives toward the synthesis of potent third generation selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs) are discussed.
Exploring the Biological Activity and Mechanism of Xenoestrogens and Phytoestrogens in Cancers: Emerging Methods and Concepts
TLDR
An extensive literature evaluation on the origins of xenoestrogens and phytoestrogens, emerging research techniques, updated molecular mechanisms, and ongoing clinical studies of estrogen mimics in human cancers is conducted.
Transcriptional profiling of Chinese medicinal formula Si-Wu-Tang on breast cancer cells reveals phytoestrogenic activity
TLDR
A new mechanism to support the clinical use of Si-Wu-Tang for estrogen related diseases and possibly for cancer prevention is revealed and the feasibility of using microarray transcriptional profiling to discover phytoestrogenic components that are present in natural products is demonstrated.

Curcumin inhibits BACE1 expression through the interaction between ERβ and NFκB signaling pathway in SH-SY5Y cells
TLDR
Curcumin markedly reduces Aβ levels in HEK293-APPswe cells and inhibits BACE1 gene expression in SH-SY5Y cells at transcriptional and translational levels, providing a novel mechanism for curcumin as a candidate for AD therapy.
Phyto-polyphenols as potential inhibitors of breast cancer metastasis
TLDR
Some phyto- polyphenols show low level of toxicity to untransformed cells, but selective suppressing effects on cancer cells proliferation and differentiation, in vitro and in vivo.
DIETARY PHYTOCHEMICALS AND THEIR ROLE IN CHEMOPREVENTION OF CANCER
TLDR
The induction of apoptosis in a neoplastic cell line without affecting normal cells of the body is a key to the use of phytochemicals (chemopreventive agents) which perform a vital function in the battle against cancer.
A functional drug re-purposing screening identifies carfilzomib as a drug preventing 17β-estradiol: ERα signaling and cell proliferation in breast cancer cells
TLDR
The results identify carfilzomib as a drug preventing E2:ERα signaling and cell proliferation in BC cells and suggest its possible re-position for the treatment of ERα+ BC as well as for those diseases that have acquired resistance to 4OH-tamoxifen.
Potential Health Benefits of Curcumin on Female Reproductive Disorders: A Review
TLDR
In vitro and in vivo studies reported the positive effects of curcumin in alleviating endometriosis through anti-inflammatory, anti-proliferative, pro-angiogenic and pro-apoptotic mechanisms, whereas some studies found considerable therapeutic effects, whereas others found no effect.

Estrogenic and antiproliferative properties of genistein and other flavonoids in human breast cancer cells in vitro.
TLDR
The results reveal that genistein is unique among the flavonoids tested, in that it has potent estrogen agonist and cell growth-inhibitory actions over a physiologically relevant concentration range.

Estrogenic and Antiestrogenic Activities of FlavonoidPhytochemicals Through Estrogen ReceptorBinding-Dependent and -Independent Mechanisms
TLDR
It is concluded thatAntiestrogenic activities of flavonoid phytochemicals may occur through ER binding-dependent and -independent mechanisms and that the binding-independent antiestrogen activity of certain flavonoids is biologically significant in regulation of breast cancer cell proliferation.
Phytoestrogens in Common Herbs Regulate Prostate Cancer Cell Growth in Vitro
TLDR
These 7 phytoestrogens, through different mechanisms, are effective inhibitors of prostate tumor cell growth and growth inhibition in androgen-insensitive human prostate tumor cells.
Phytoestrogen concentration determines effects on DNA synthesis in human breast cancer cells.
TLDR
Inhibition of estrogen-dependent and -independent breast cancer cells at high concentrations suggests additional mechanisms independent of the estrogen receptor, and induction of DNA synthesis in MCF-7 cells, but not in MDA-MB-231 cells, is consistent with an estrogenic effect of these compounds.

Curcumin downregulates the inflammatory cytokines CXCL1 and -2 in breast cancer cells via NFkappaB.
TLDR
The effects of Curcumin are addressed using microarray gene expression analyses and the underlying molecular mechanism revealing that reduction of CXCL1 and -2 messenger RNA levels is NFkappaB dependent and requires intact IkappaBalpha expression is elucidated.
Interaction of Estrogenic Chemicals and Phytoestrogens with Estrogen Receptor β.
TLDR
The estrogenic activity of environmental chemicals and phytoestrogens in competition binding assays with ERα or ERβ protein, and in a transient gene expression assay using cells in which an acute estrogenic response is created by cotransfecting cultures with recombinant human ERβ complementary DNA (cDNA) in the presence of an estrogen-dependent reporter plasmid are investigated.
Phytoestrogens and breast cancer--promoters or protectors?
TLDR
The experimental and epidemiological evidence pertinent to the potential beneficial or harmful effects of phytoestrogens in relation to the incidence/progression of breast cancer and their efficacy as natural alternatives to conventional HRT is compared.
