1 | Using analysis of proteins related to cell cycle and apoptotic pathways, we confirmed an elevated level of p53 accompanying p21 Waf1/Cip1 protein in genistein-treated or genistin-treated A549 and WI-38 cells, but not in HeLa cells. | Genistein | tumor protein p53 | Homo sapiens |
2 | In addition, a p53-upregulated modulator of apoptosis (Puma) protein accumulated significantly in genistein-treated A549 and WI-38 cells, but not in genistin-treated or beta-estradiol-treated cells, though the growth of any ingredient-treated cells was severely inhibited. | Genistein | tumor protein p53 | Homo sapiens |
3 | Intriguingly, the caspase-3 activity of genistein-treated A549 cells, in which Puma or p53 expression was knocked-down by RNA interference (RNAi), remained unaltered compared to that in cells transfected with irrelevant RNAi. | Genistein | tumor protein p53 | Homo sapiens |
