Product Data:
Biological target: Genistein, a soy isoflavone, is a multiple tyrosine kinases (e.g., EGFR) inhibitor which acts as a chemotherapeutic agent against different types of cancer, mainly by altering apoptosis, the cell cycle, and angiogenesis and inhibiting metastasis.
In vitro activity: Although not exhibiting any visible toxicity on the HEK-cGASlow cells at the doses used, Genistein treatment reduced cell proliferation above 30 μM (Fig. S1A). To circumvent this, this study normalized the number of cGAMP-producing cells after Genistein treatment and confirmed a dose-dependent inhibition of cGAMP transactivation of cocultured LL171 cells by Genistein (Fig. 1C). Similarly, pretreatment of connexin (CX) expressing human MG-63 cells with Genistein, that were subsequently transfected with an immunostimulatory DNA (ISD) to activate cGAS, significantly decreased ISRE-luciferase expression from cocultured LL171 cells (Fig. 1D). It is noteworthy that intracellular levels of cGAMP were increased by Genistein in HEK cGASlow cells (Fig. 1E), indicating an inhibition of GJIC aligned with the accumulating cGAMP levels observed. Reference: mBio. 2022 Aug 30;13(4):e0206422. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35924852/
In vivo activity: The mfn2 expression and mitochondrial membrane potential in DN group were significantly higher than those in control group, which were also increased in each treatment group with genistein in a dose-dependent manner (Figs. 3a and 3b). It shows that genistein supplementation improves nephropathy likely via modulation of the mitochondrial fusion and function in DN rats.
