ConclusionIn contrary to results of many previous studies, we observed that genistein was able to upregulate the proliferation and G1-S transition of ovarian cancer OVCAR-5 cells. The discrepancy could be caused by diverged experimental conditions and/or different ER expression patterns of cell lines. The findings may provide basic information for in-depth analysis on the role(s) and mechanisms by which genistein confers its effect on ovarian cancer progression.
