Chickpeas with abundant isoflavones genistein may have a therapeutic and profound effect in reduced risk and treatment of prostate cancer, some scientists suggested.
Prostate cancer is a medical condition characterized by cells growth uncontrollably in the prostate tissues. At the later stage, the cancerous cells may infect the tissues and organs distance away from the site of origin.
According to statistic from National Cancer Institutes(9), the motility ratio of prostate cancer is 19.5 per 100,000 men per year. Base the 2013-15 data, approximately 11.2 percent of men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer at some point during their lifetime.

Most common symptoms are urethra and bladder related, including burning or pain during urination, difficulty urinating, or trouble starting and stopping while urination, frequent urges to urinate at night,..... blood in urine in case of severity(10).
The causes of prostate caner are still unknown, but according to prostate cancer Canada(10), most common risk factors are
* Age, risk of prostate cancer is substantial higher in men over 50 years of age, in compared to younger male group.
* Epidemiological studies strongly suggested that diet pattern with high in calcium, physical inactivity and obesity are linked to increase of preventable risks in developing prostate cancer.
* Family history and ethnicity also are significant factors in risks of the disease.
Some researchers suggested that due to chickpeas rich sources of nutrients, the legume also may have a substantial implication in improved bone density(1) due to its contents of iron, phosphate, calcium, magnesium, manganese, zinc, and vitamin K; lower blood glucose of type 1 and 2 diabetes(7) due to its activity in decreased hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia and enhanced insulin sensitive; enhanced heart health(8) through lowering blood pressure and blood cholesterol,........

Chickpea also known as Garbanzo bean is an edible legume with high in protein and minerals, The bean is a genus Cicer, belongings to the family Fabaceae,
It is one of the earliest cultivated vegetables, native to Middle East.
The legume is high in fiber and protein, and contains several key vitamins and minerals, including
1. Carbohydrates
2. Dietary fiber
3. Fat
4. Protein
5. Vitamin A
6. Thiamine (Vitamin B1)
7. Riboflavin (Vitamin B2)
8. Niacin (Vitamin B3)
9. Pantothenic acid (B5)
10. Vitamin B6
11. Folate (Vitamin B9)
12. Vitamin C
13. Vitamin E
14. Vitamin K
15. Iron
16. Magnesium
17. Phosphorus
18. Potassium
19. Zinc
Reactive oxygen species ROS was studied intensively for the duo effects in initiated cancer development and induced cancer cell apoptosis through cytotoxicty.
On one hand, over expression of ROS with low antioxidant levels may cause cellular damage and induce alternation of DNA transcript being transmitted by mRNA through a complex passage to initiate irregular cell growth, the early stage of cancer development.
On the other hand, over expression of ROS can cause cytotoxicity to the target cancer site in induction of cells death and apoptosis.
Isoflavone genistein isolated from chickpeas was found to exert significantly antioxidant effects on human cells, in ameliorated oxidative damage to cellular DNA in initiation of cancer development.
Injection of isoflavone genistein to normal cell acted as free radical scavengers not only improved the antioxidants status in inhibited the ROS activity in inauguration and progression of multistage carcinogenesis but also reduced the expression of oxidative stress-response related genes.
Interestingly, such injection also enhanced the over expression ROS function in causing toxicity to cancer cells without harming the nearby healthy cells, thus increasing cancer cells degradation, subsequently in cells death.
In fact, isoflavone genistein, best known as natural tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKIs) are a class of chemo-medicine with function in inhibited, or blocked, the enzyme tyrosine kinase in induction of apoptosis in several different types of cancers, including prostate cancer.
Further analysis of the effect of isoflavone genistein adminitration also indicated that the phytochemicals induced cancer cell apoptosis by increased expression of Bax protein in suppressed the production of pro apoptotic activity in the cancerous site.
Additionally, isoflavone genistein also demonstrated a significant effect in stimulated the p21, a potent cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor (CKI) expression in promoted cancer cell cycle arrest.
Application of the phytochemical also decreased anti apoptotic activities of Bcl-2 and BclXL by blocking the release of mitochondrial contents in enhanced cell division.
In the regulation of cellular apoptosis, isoflavone genistein also activated the PARP protein and caspases enzyme with functions to programmed cell death.
More importantly, further evaluation of cancer cell apoptosis caused by injection of isoflavone genistein, researchers at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University discovered that in the process in induced cancer cell apoptosis, isoflavone genistein also inhibited NF-κB protein in regulated and controlled transcription of DNA, and cell survival in numbers of cancer, examined by the electrophoresis mobility shift assay (EMSA)
In fact, the expression of NF-κB protein in reduced cancer cell proliferation and site expansion was attributed to the activation of hydrogen peroxide H2O2, with function of cytotoxicity to the tumor and tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α), a cell signaling protein with function to initiate cellular apoptosis.
Finally, the effectiveness of isoflavones genistein in reduced risk and treatment of prostate cancer is also depending to some factors involving "having or not having equol" converting bacteria in the intestine, specific polymorphic variation in the region of the associated gene.
However, further data collection on large sample size and multi centers clinical studies performed with human consumption during the course of the disease will be necessary to complete the picture of chickpeas isoflavones genistein in protection against prostate cancer's possibilities.
Intake of isoflavones genistein should be taken with extreme care as acute liver toxicity was reported in numbers of case in medical literature.
