Project description:Establishment of a transcriptomic profile of human cells treated with kaemferol, daidzein, kaemferol/genistein, or daidzein/genistein with particular emphasis on signature of genes coding for enzymes involved in glycosaminoglycan synthesis stands for the present study. The hypothesis tested was that kaemferol, daidzein, kaemferol/genistein, and daidzein/genistein influence expression of some genes, among which are those coding for enzymes required for the synthesis of different GAGs being pathologically accumulated in mucopolysaccharidoses. Results provide important information concerning the extent of action of kaemferol, daidzein, kaemferol/genistein, and daidzein/genistein at the molecular level in terms of modulation of gene expression. Total RNA was obtained from human dermal fibroblasts (HDFa) subjected to 24 or 48 hours in vitro exposure to 30, 60 or 100 M-BM-5M kaemferol; 60 or 100 M-BM-5M daidzein; 30 M-BM-5M + 30 M-BM-5M kaemferol/genistein; 30 M-BM-5M + 30 M-BM-5M daidzein/genistein; or 0.05%DMSO. Three replicates each.

Project description:Effects of soy isoflavones, genistein and daidzein, on the hepatic gene expression profile and indices for lipid metabolism were compared in rats. The GeneChip data was normalized and summarized by using SuperNORM data service (Skylight Biotech Inc.). Significance of expressional change among groups was tested by 2-way ANOVA on the normalized CEL data, which was deposited in a tab-separated ASCII text format. Principal components were identified on the summarized gene data. Three groups of rats were fed with an experimental diet containing 2 g/kg of either genistein or daidzein, or a control diet free of isoflavone for 14 days. The basal composition of the experimental diet was (in g/kg): casein, 200; palm oil, 100; corn starch, 150; cellulose, 20; mineral mixture (AIN-93G), 35; vitamin mixture (AIN-93), 10; L-cystine, 3.0; choline bitartrate, 2.0 and sucrose to 1 kg.
