Title:
Gestational Exposure to Soy Isoflavones and Epigenetic Regulation of Breast Cancer Risk
Corporate Author:

Abstract:
The overarching challenge is to identify what makes the breast susceptible to cancer development, and more specifically, the mechanisms that link epigenetic silencing of the BRCA-1 gene to the development of triple-negative breast cancers TNBC. The main purpose of this project is to examine whether the DNA methyltransferase DNMT inhibitor and soy isoflavone, genistein prevents CpG methylation of the BRCA-1 gene and development of TNBCs. Major findings Preliminary data acquired through the support of this grant indicate that 1 in cell culture experiments with ER-positive breast epithelial cells genistein exerted dose- and time dependent preventative effects on repression of BRCA-1 expression.
