}Nutritionally relevant levels of genistein, the predominant isoflavone in soyabean associated with lower risk of prostate cancer (PCa), may modulate the expression of prostate tissue biomarkers associated with cancer prediction and progression. A phase 2 placebo-controlled, randomised, double-blind clinical trial was conducted in forty-seven Norwegian patients before prostatectomy. Intervention was 30 mg genistein or placebo capsules daily for 3–6 weeks. Luminal cells from malignant and benign…

Genistein at a dose that can be easily obtained from a diet rich in soy reduced the level of serum PSA in patients with localized CaP, without any effects on hormones, and had a beneficial effect on blood cholesterol.

The results suggest the presence of a biphasic regulation of CaP growth and metastasis by genistein, warranting careful examination of the effects ofgenistein on hormone-dependent cancers in a chemotherapeutic setting.

Results suggest that ligand‐dependent differences in the ability to activate PSA expression may contribute to the agonistic/antagonistic responses observed with genistein in prostate cancer cells.

The cancer promoting effect ofgenistein observed here suggests the need for careful selection of patients and safer planning of clinical trials, and immunoblotting data suggest that increased proliferation and metastasis are linked to enhanced activities of tyrosine kinases, EGFR and its downstream Src, in genistein-treated groups.

Daidzein could be the component of soy that protects against genistein-induced metastasis and synergized with radiation, affecting APE1/Ref-1, NF-κB and HIF-1α, but at lower levels than genisteIn and soy, in AR+ and AR- PCa cells, suggesting it is an AR-independent mechanism.
Genistein differentially modulates androgen-responsive gene expression and activates JNK in LNCaP cells.

Genistein differentially modulates ARG mRNA expression, but has an inhibitory role on the ARG protein levels, suggesting the activation of the JNK pathway which inhibits AR signaling may provide a mechanism for the overall inhibition of protein levels.
Kallikrein 4 (hK4) and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) are associated with the loss of E-cadherin and an epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT)-like effect in prostate cancer cells.
- BiologyEndocrine-related cancer
- 2005
The loss of E-cadherin and associated increase in vimentin are indicative of EMT and provides compelling evidence that hK4, in particular, and PSA have a functional role in the progression of prostate cancer through their promotion of tumour cell migration.

It is shown for the first time that dietary concentrations of genistein can inhibit PCa cell metastasis and increases in promotility proteins support the notion of cellular compensatory responses to antimotility effects induced by therapy.
