Induction of mitochondrial dysfunction by genistein in T24 cells. The cells were cultured for 48 h in media containing different concentrations of genistein. (A,B) The levels of mRNA and protein of Bcl-2 family members were examined by RT-PCR and Western blot analysis. (C,D) The effect of genistein on mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) was analyzed by a flow cytometer (*** p < 0.0001, when compared to control). (E) Cytoplasmic and mitochondrial proteins were isolated for analysis of cytochrome c expression, and Western blot analysis was performed. Analysis of cytochrome oxidase subunit VI (COX VI) and actin expression was performed to confirm the protein loading of each fraction extract.
