Gene Expression Profiling of Breast Cancer Cell Lines in Response to Soy Isoflavones Using a Pangenomic Microarray Approach

Abstract excerpt

Although the rate of breast cancer differs between women in Asian and Western countries, molecular genetics/genomics basis of this epidemiological observation remains elusive. Moreover, the intake of phytoestrogens is associated with a lower incidence of breast cancer. Genistein and daidzein are the primary soy isoflavones with a chemical structure similar to estrogens. Conceivably, the actions of phytoestrogens...
