(A) Enzymatic assay showing dose-dependent induction of human sulfotransferase hSULT2A1 (DHEA-ST) enzymatic activity in Caco-2 cells treated with different doses of genistein for 7 days. The DHEA sulfation activity of cell cytosol was determined using the radioactive enzyme assay method. (B) Real-time RT-PCR result showing the dose-dependent induction of hSULT2A1 mRNA expression in Caco-2 cells treated with different doses of genistein for 7 days. (C) Representative Western blot of Caco-2 cell cytosol. (D) Densitometry analysis showing dose-dependent induction of hSULT2A1 protein expression in Caco-2 cells treated with different doses of genistein for 7 days. Each experiment was repeated at least three times and data presented are means ± S.E.M. of the data collected separately from at least three independent experiments (*P<0.05, **P<0.01, ***P<0.001).
