Bcl-2 overexpression sensitizes MCF-7 cells to genistein by multiple mechanisms
1 Oct 2007
Abstract excerpt
Genistein is a soy isoflavone with anti-tumor properties. Genistein-induced apoptosis involves Bcl-2 downregulation. However, overexpression of Bcl-2 in breast cancer has been associated with better prognosis and response to hormonal therapy. To examine genistein's effect on breast cancer cells with different Bcl-2 levels, we established control (MCF-7/PV) and Bcl-2 overexpressing MCF-7 (MCF-7/Bcl-2) cell lines...
