Apoptosis by Dietary Agents for Prevention and Treatment of Prostate Cancer Endocrine-Related Cancer (2010) 17 R39–R52 REVIEW Apoptosis by dietary agents for prevention and treatment of prostate cancer Naghma Khan, Vaqar Mustafa Adhami and Hasan Mukhtar Department of Dermatology, Medical Sciences Center, University of Wisconsin-Madison, 4385, 1300 University Avenue, Madison, Wisconsin 53706, USA (Correspondence should be addressed to H Mukhtar; Email: [email protected]) Abstract Accumulating data clearly indicate that induction of apoptosis is an important event for chemoprevention of cancer by naturally occurring dietary agents. In mammalian cells, apoptosis has been divided into two major pathways: the extrinsic pathway, activated by pro-apoptotic receptor signals at the cellular surface; and the intrinsic pathway, which involves the disruption of mitochondrial membrane integrity. This process is strictly controlled in response to integrity of pro-death signaling and plays critical roles in development, maintenance of homeostasis, and host defense in multicellular organisms. For chemoprevention studies, prostate cancer (PCa) represents an ideal disease due to its long latency, its high incidence, tumor marker availability, and identifiable preneoplastic lesions and risk groups. In this article, we highlight the studies of various apoptosis-inducing dietary compounds for prevention of PCa in vitro in cell culture, in preclinical studies in animals, and in human clinical trials. Endocrine-Related Cancer (2010) 17 R39–R52 Introduction has evolved to maintain cell numbers and cellular positioning within tissues comprised of different cell Prostate cancer (PCa) is one of the most common compartments (Fadeel & Orrenius 2005, Khan et al. cancers in men in the United States and is the second 2007).

  • Characterization of the Inhibition of Genistein
    CHARACTERIZATION OF THE INHIBITION OF GENISTEIN GLUCURONIDATION BY BISPHENOL A IN HUMAN AND RAT LIVER MICROSOMES By JANIS LAURA COUGHLIN A thesis submitted to the Graduate School-New Brunswick Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey and The Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science Joint Graduate Program in Toxicology written under the direction of Dr. Brian Buckley and approved by __________________________________ __________________________________ __________________________________ __________________________________ New Brunswick, New Jersey OCTOBER 2011 ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS Characterization of the Inhibition of Genistein Glucuronidation by Bisphenol A in Human and Rat Liver Microsomes By JANIS LAURA COUGHLIN Thesis Director: Dr. Brian Buckley Genistein is a natural phytoestrogen that is found abundantly in the soybean. Bisphenol A (BPA) is a synthetic chemical used in the synthesis of polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resins. Endocrine disrupting properties of both genistein and BPA have been well established by various laboratories. Because the adverse biological effects caused by genistein and BPA are similar, and may include common co-exposure scenarios in the general population such as in the consumption of a soy-milk latte from a polycarbonate plastic coffee mug, analysis of the perturbation of the metabolism via glucuronidation of genistein in the presence of BPA has been assessed. Human and rat liver microsomes were exposed to varying doses of genistein (0 to 250 μM) in the absence (0 μM) or presence (25 μM) of BPA. Treatment with 25 μM BPA caused non-competitive inhibition of the glucuronidation of genistein in human liver microsomes with a Ki value of 58.7 μM, represented by a decrease in Vmax from 0.93 ± 0.10 nmol/min/mg in the ii absence of BPA to 0.62 ± 0.05 nmol/min/mg in the presence of BPA, and a negligible change in Km values between treatment groups.

Naturforsch. 60c, 139Ð142 (2005); received November 9/December 8, 2004 There is a wealth of evidence that hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) orchestrate most of the important events in liver fibrogenesis. After liver injury, HSCs become activated to a profi- brogenic myofibroblastic phenotype and can regulate net deposition of collagens and other matrix proteins in the liver. The proliferation of HSCs is mainly stimulated by the platelet- derived growth factor (PDGF). In this study, some compounds from natural resources have been tested for their activity to inhibit PDGF-driven proliferative activity of rat HSCs. Api- genin, quercetin, genistein, daidzin, and biochanin A exhibited > 75% inhibitory activity against HSC-T6. It was found that, γ-linolenic (γ-Ln), eicosapentanoic (EPA) and α- linolenic (α-Ln) acids showed a high inhibitory effect on proliferation of rat HSCs at 50 nmol/l. Cholest-4-ene-3,6-dione and stigmastone-4-en-3,6-dione are the most active steroids with in- hibitory activities > 80% and this is most likely due to the presence of the 4-en-3,6-dione moiety in both compounds.

Received April 7, 2013; accepted June 6, 2013; advance publication released online June 12, 2013 An ultra performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) coupled with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (QTOF/MS) method is established for the rapid analysis of isoflavones, saponins and flavones in 16 samples originated from the flowers of Pueraria lobata and P. thomsonii. A total of 25 isoflavones, 13 saponins and 3 flavones were identified by co-chromatography of sample extract with authentic standards and comparing the retention time, UV spectra, characteristic molecular ions and fragment ions with those of authentic standards, or tentatively identified by MS/MS determination along with Mass Fragment software. Moreover, the method was validated for the simultaneous quantification of 29 components. The samples from two Pueraria flowers significantly differed in the quality and quantity of isoflavones, saponins and flavones, which allows the possibility of showing their chemical distinctness, and may be useful in their standardiza- tion and quality control. Dataset obtained from UPLC-MS was processed with principal component analysis (PCA) and orthogonal partial least squared discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) to holistically compare the dif- ference between both Pueraria flowers.

Gray, Xunxian Liu, Renee Choi, Marc R. Blackman and Julia T. Arnold Abstract Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is used as a dietary supplement and can be metabolized to androgens and/or estrogens in the prostate. We investigated the hypothesis that DHEA metabolism may be increased in a reactive prostate stroma environment in the presence of proinflammatory cytokinessuchastransforminggrowth factor β1(TGFβ1), and further, whether red clover extract, which contains a variety of compounds including isoflavones, can reverse this effect. LAPC-4 prostate cancer cells were grown in coculture with prostate stromal cells (6S) and treated with DHEA +/− TGFβ1 or interleukin-6. Prostate-specific anti- gen (PSA) expression and testosterone secretion in LAPC-4/6S cocultures were compared with those in monocultured epithelial and stromal cells by real-time PCR and/or ELISA. Combined administration of TGFβ1 + DHEA to cocultures increased PSA protein secretion two to four times, and PSA gene expression up to 50-fold. DHEA + TGFβ1 also increased coculture production of testosterone over DHEA treatment alone. Red clover isoflavone treatment led to a dose-dependent decrease in PSA protein and gene expression and tes- tosterone metabolism induced by TGFβ1 + DHEA in prostate LAPC-4/6S cocultures. In this coculture model of endocrine-immune-paracrine interactionsin the prostate,TGF β1 greatly increased stromal-mediated DHEA effects on testosterone production and epithelial cell PSA production, whereas red clover isoflavones reversed these effects.

The uptake of EGCG and involvement of specific efflux pumps were studied in MDCKII cells transfected with hPgp, hMRP1, and hMRP2 genes. Total cell associated [3H]EGCG increased 7-fold in the presence of the MRP inhibitors, indomethacin and probenecid, in MDCKII/MRP1 cells, compared to a 2-fold increase in wild-type cells. Intracellular levels of EGCG, 400-O-methyl EGCG, and 40; 400-di-O-methyl EGCG were increased by 13-, 11-, and 3-fold, respectively, by indomethacin in MDCKII/MRP1 cells. Accu- mulation of EGCG and its methyl metabolites was also increased 10-fold in the presence of MK-571 in MDCKII/MRP2 cells. Co- treatment with isoflavones, curcumin and tetrahydrocurcumin, increased [3H]EGCG accumulation significantly in MDCKII/MRP1 and HT-29 cells. The results indicate that EGCG and its methyl metabolites are substrates for MRP1 and MRP2, but not for Pgp.

ABSTRACT Pueraria flower extract (PFE) is a hot water extract of the Kudzu flower (Pueraria thomsonii). Tea made from dried Kudzu flower is widely used in China, and PFE is utilized as a nutritional supplement in Japan. PFE contains unique isoflavones such as 6-hydroxygenistein 6,7-di-O-glucoside (6HGDG), tectorigenin 7-O-xylosylglucoside (TGXG), and tectoridin. 6HGDG is known to be metabolized into 6-hydroxygenistein, and TGXG and tectoridin are known to be metabolized into tectorigenin in the digestive tract. Isoflavones typically mimic the effects β-estradiol has on estrogen receptors (ERs) and may influence the female genital system in the case of excessive intake. As a result, the upper limit of safe daily consumption of soy isoflavones has been enforced in Japan.

  • Increased UDP-Glucuronosyltransferase Activity and Decreased Prostate Specific Antigen Production by Biochanin a in Prostate Cancer Cells Xiao-Ya Sun, Cathie A
    [CANCER RESEARCH 58. 2379-2384, June 1, 1998| Increased UDP-glucuronosyltransferase Activity and Decreased Prostate Specific Antigen Production by Biochanin A in Prostate Cancer Cells Xiao-Ya Sun, Cathie A. Plouzek, James P. Henry,1 Thomas T. Y. Wang, and James M. Phang2 Laboratory of Nutritional and Molecular Regulation, National Cancer Institute-Frederick Cancer Research and Development Center. NIH. Frederick. Maryland 21702-1201 ABSTRACT Because androgen levels in the prostate may be clinically impor tant, the modulation of UDPGT and androgen metabolism by dietary Our laboratory has characterized androgen metabolism in an andro- factors is of considerable interest. Various studies have shown that gen-responsive prostate cancer cell line (LNCaP) and showed that these consumption of soybean is associated with low incidence of prostate cells accumulated intracellular testosterone primarily as glucuronidated metabolites. Using a cell-free assay with testosterone as substrate, we cancer in Asian populations (6). Flavonoids, a family of compounds showed that LNCaP had UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UDPGT) activity. plentiful in fruits and vegetables and especially in soy products, may Because dietary factors, such as flavonoids in soy products, may reduce reduce the risk for hormone-dependent cancers (7). We undertook the the risk for hormone-dependent cancers, we studied the effects of fla current studies to examine the possible effects of flavonoids on vonoids on testosterone-UDPGT activity. LNCaP cells were exposed to testosterone-UDPGT activity and on the metabolism of testosterone in selected flavonoids for up to 6 days. The increase in UDPGT-specific prostate cancer cells. We found that UDPGT was induced by fla activity was linear over this period.
