“Treatment of the T-ALL cell lines CCRF-CEM, CCRF-HSB2, SUP-T1 and Jurkat with DIM in vitro significantly reduced cell proliferation and viability at concentrations 8- to 25-fold lower than the parent compound I3C.”
“ Indole-3-carbinol is highly unstable and, therefore, the observed protection likely results from condensation products of indole-3-carbinol, e.g. diindolylmethane or indolo[3,2-b]carbazole (ICZ).”
“At the molecular level, I3C and DIM markedly inactivated extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) and the inhibitory effect of DIM was significantly greater than that of I3C.”
“These results indicate that I3C and DIM had a differential potential in the regulation of the 2 principal survival signals, ERK1/2 and Akt, in endothelial cells.”
