TLDR
The identification of transcripts co- or differentially-regulated by SPI and WPH diets suggests common as well as unique anti-tumorigenesis mechanisms of action which may involve growth factor, neuroendocrine and immune system genes.Abstract:
Background
We previously reported that lifetime consumption of soy proteins or whey proteins reduced the incidence of azoxymethane (AOM)-induced colon tumors in rats. To obtain insights into these effects, global gene expression profiles of colons from rats with lifetime ingestion of casein (CAS, control diet), soy protein isolate (SPI), and whey protein hydrolysate (WPH) diets were determined.read more

Apigenin: A Promising Molecule for Cancer Prevention
Sanjeev Shukla,Sanjay Gupta +1 more
TL;DR: It has been suggested that apigenin may be protective in other diseases that are affected by oxidative process, such as cardiovascular and neurological disorders, although more research needs to be conducted in this regard.

Flavones and flavone synthases
Stefan Martens,Axel Mithöfer +1 more
TL;DR: The biosynthesis of flavones in plants was found to be catalyzed by two completely different flavone synthase proteins (FNS), a unique feature within the flavonoids, which makes these compounds valuable targets for drug design, including recombinant DNA approaches.

Telomerase does not counteract telomere shortening but protects mitochondrial function under oxidative stress.

TL;DR: It is shown here that TERT, the catalytic subunit of human telomerase, protects human fibroblasts against oxidative stress and proposes protection of mitochondria under mild stress as a novel function of TERT.

Cytotoxicity of dietary flavonoids on different human cancer types
TL;DR: While luteolin and kaempferol can be considered as promising candidate agents for treatment of gastric and ovarian cancers, respectively, apigenin, chrysin, andluteolin have good perspectives as potent antitumor agents for cervical cancer.

Significance analysis of microarrays applied to the ionizing radiation response
TL;DR: A method that assigns a score to each gene on the basis of change in gene expression relative to the standard deviation of repeated measurements is described, suggesting that this repair pathway for UV-damaged DNA might play a previously unrecognized role in repairing DNA damaged by ionizing radiation.

AIN-93 Purified Diets for Laboratory Rodents: Final Report of the American Institute of Nutrition Ad Hoc Writing Committee on the Reformulation of the AIN-76A Rodent Diet
TL;DR: Two new diets may prove to be a better choice than AIN-76A for long-term as well as short-term studies with laboratory rodents because of a better balance of essential nutrients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cancer Cell Cycles
TL;DR: Genetic alterations affecting p16INK4a and cyclin D1, proteins that govern phosphorylation of the retinoblastoma protein and control exit from the G1 phase of the cell cycle, are so frequent in human cancers that inactivation of this pathway may well be necessary for tumor development.
Journal ArticleDOI
The retinoblastoma protein and cell cycle control
TL;DR: The main role of pRB is to act as a signal transducer connecting the cell cycle clock with the transcriptional machinery, allowing the clock to control the expression of banks of genes that mediate advance of the cell through a critical phase of its growth cycle.

TL;DR: A better understanding of how the Bcl2 family controls caspase activation should result in new, more effective therapeutic approaches in tissue homeostasis and cancer.
