Product Data:
Biological target: Daidzein is a soy isoflavone, which acts as a PPAR activator.
In vitro activity: This study was undertaken to investigate the anticancer effects of Daidzein on human melanoma cells and also an attempt was made to decipher the underlying mechanisms. The results of MTT assay showed that Daidzein causes significant decrease in the proliferation of the melanoma A-375 cells and showed an IC50 of 18 µM. However, the IC50 of Daidzein was very high against the normal HEMnLP cells, indicative of low cytotoxicity. Flow cytometry showed significant arrest of the A-375 cells at the G0/G1 phase of the cell cycle. Western blot analysis showed that the molecule suppressed the expression cell cycle regulatory proteins such as cyclin D1, CDK4, CDK6 and p27. DAPI and annexin V/PI staining assays showed that Daidzein prompted apoptosis in A-375 melanoma cells which was concomitant with depletion of Bcl-2, increase of Bax and activation of cleavage of caspase-3 and caspase-9. Electron microscopic analysis showed that the molecule led to the development of autophagosomes in A-375 cells, which was also concomitant with increase in the expression of LC3B II and decrease in the expression of p62. Finally, Daidzein also suppressed the phosphorylation of PI3K and AKT, causing deactivation of the PI3K/AKT signalling pathway. In conclusion, daidzein may prove beneficial in the development of melanoma systemic therapy. Reference: BUON. Jan-Feb 2020;25(1):485-490. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32277673/
In vivo activity: A possibility of daidzein-induced long-term neuroprotection was assessed in mice treated with daidzein for 1 month. Ratios of strokeinduced mRNA levels against the contralateral hemisphere showed similar increases in Lxr, Scarb1, Abca1, Apoe, Tsp2, and Gfap mRNA in both vehicle and daidzein-treated groups (Fig. 4A; Table 2). Compared with vehicle treatment, daidzein significantly elevated Abca1, Abcg1, and Apoe mRNAs at 1 month after stroke (Fig. 4B–E). For lipogenic genes, daidzein increased strokeinduced Srebp1 mRNA without affecting Fas and Lpl expression (Table 2). ApoE protein was also significantly increased at this time (Fig. 4F). There was no difference in expression of the cholesterol homeostasis genes in age-matched sham mice treated with vehicle or daidzein for 1 month (data not shown). Because stroke causes atrophy, brain volume representing noninjured tissue, ischemic scar tissue, remaining total ipsilateral tissue, and resorbed tissue (estimated infarct) were analyzed. No differences were found in any of these region volumes (Fig. 4G), confirming that daidzein-induced cholesterol homeostasis genetic program uncouples with neuroprotection.
