Epidemiologsitcu diesh aves hownt hat the consumptioonf soy in Asianw omenh as beena ssociatedw ith decreasedra tes of canceri ncludingb reast cancer. Soyc ontainsl arge amountso f isoflavonesa, nd amongth em, genisteinis one of the mosta ctiveg rowthi nhibitor in a variety of tumors. On the other hand, the diet of Greenland Eskimos contains a high content of the ω-3polyunsaturated fatty acid such as eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) known to be present in fish oil, which is related to low risk of breast cancer. In this regard, effect of genistein or EPA on tumor growth suppression in vitro was evaluated using human breast cancer cell lines (MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231). Then, the mode of cell death was evaluated by FCM. Finally, the synergism between genistein and EPA was investigated. Genistein stimulated estrogen receptor (ER)-positive MCF-7 cells at low concentrations while produced a dose- and time-dependent in vitro growth inhibition at high concentrations. EPA caused dose- and time-dependent growth inhibition. Apoptosis was confirmed by the appearance of sub G1 fraction in both cell lines. Genistein exerted synergism with EPA on MCF-7 cells (genistein > 25.2μg/ml and EPA > 65.9μg/ml) and on MDA-MB-231 cells(genistein > 47.6μg/ml and EPA > 190.4μg/ml). Thus the Asian dietary habit is beneficial for suppressing breast cencer growth that genistein in combination with EPA may be promising agent in breast cancer suppression.
