PG - 8379-85 LID - 10.1021/jf301759s [doi] AB - Isoflavones found in soybeans and soy products possess clinically relevant properties. However, the anti-allergic effect of isoflavones has been poorly studied. We examined the effects of isoflavones, genistein, daidzein, and equol, on the expression of the high-affinity immunoglobulin E (IgE) receptor, FcepsilonRI, which plays a central role in IgE-mediated allergic response. Flow cytometric analysis showed that all of these isoflavones reduced the cell surface expression of FcepsilonRI on mouse bone-marrow-derived mast cells and human basophilic KU812 cells. All isoflavones decreased the levels of the FcepsilonRIalpha mRNA in the cells. Genistein reduced the mRNA expression of the beta chain, and daidzein and equol downregulated that of the gamma chain. The suppressive effects of isoflavones on FcepsilonRI expression were unaffected by ICI 182,780, an estrogen receptor antagonist, suggesting that these effects were independent of estrogen receptors.
