Can Soy Phytoestrogens Decrease DNA Methylation in <i>BRCA1</i> and <i>BRCA2</i> Oncosuppressor Genes in Breast Cancer?
17 Feb 2012
Abstract excerpt
Although soy phytoestrogens have been postulated to exert a protective effect against breast cancer, the attendant mechanisms, in particular epigenetics underpinnings, have remained elusive. We investigated the putative effects on DNA methylation by two naturally occurring isoflavones, genistein and daidzein, in a study of the BRCA1 and BRCA2 oncosuppressor genes in breast cancer cell lines (MCF-7, MDA-MB 231,...
