34. Experiment 1
Cells:
- MCF-7 mamma carcinoma cell line
Phytohormones:
- Red clover - Trifolium pratense, (MF11RCE)
- “synthetic” Genistein and Daidzein (Indofine).
Technology:
- 20K Chip arrays (Affymetrix)
35. Experimental design:
MCF-7 were examined after
12 and 24 hours.
Experimental groups:
- untreated cells
- combination of genistein plus daidzein
(2,5 µg/ml each)
- red clover extract (5 µg/ml)

38. Comparison of the mRNA expression pattern in MC-F7
cells stimulated with red-clover extract with that of
daidzin and genestin stimulated cells.
22.000 genes were screened by DNA array and for each gene 11 oligos for
perfect match and 11 oligos for mismatch are analyzed. Therefore a total of
500.000 spots were quantitatively analyzed.
39. Results
A significant increase (>2times) in mRNA expression
induced by phytohormones was seen for 117 genes.
The functional repertoire of these genes cover
-Growth arrest genes
-DNA repair genes
(GADD34)
-Growth factors
(insulin-like growth factor binding protein 4)
42. Results
THE GENES DIFFERENTIALLLY UP-REGULATED BY
SYNTHETIC PHYTOESTROGENS ARE
“METALLOTHIONEINS” (MT)
AND ARE BELIVED TO PLAY AN ROLE IN
TUMORGENESIS.
44. Conclusion
Application of red clover and synthetic
phytohormones causes a transcriptional
regulation of 117 genes in MCF-7.
The effect of synthetic Daidzein/Genistein differs
significantly from that of red clover by
upregulation of transcription of 10 genes
(Metallothionins).
This first results do not implicate a major
influence of red clover on the proliferation or
differentiation of MCF-7 cells.
46. Experiment 2
Pooled sera of 5 menopausal women . Before and
after intake of MF11RCE (menoflavon) for 3 month
• Control group = before intake of MF11RCE
• Treatment group = after intake of MF11RCE
48. Regulation of Transcription
• MF11RCE inhibits the expression of
transcriptional genes
(TCF4,TCF7L2,MAFB,MXI1,ID4,HOP,BTF3,BAZ1A)
and genes in relation to ribosomal subunit
joining and the initiation of translation
(EIF3S5, EIF4EBP, RPL29,RPS16)
= MF11RCE can influence cell proliferation and
differentiation by down regulation of cellular
transcription and translation

52. Apoptosis
• MF11RCE induces Expression of

= MF11RCE inhibits genes of
cell-proliferation and cell-

55. In a culture of primary mammae epithelial
cells MF11RCE down regulates genes for
–Transcription and translation
–Protein synthesis
–DNA replication
–Cell proliferation
and up regulates genes for
–Apoptosis
56. Conclusion
MF11RCE seems not to be
inductive for tumor and/or tumor
growth in a healthy mamma
epithelial cells culture.
Further study are necessary to
improve if Isoflavones can
protect against tumor
development an/or tumor growth
