Effects of Sulforaphane and 3,3'-Diindolylmethane on Genome-Wide Promoter Methylation in Normal Prostate Epithelial Cells and Prostate Cancer Cells

Creator:

Wong, Carmen P., Hsu, Anna, Buchanan, Alex, Palomera-Sanchez, Zoraya, Beaver, Laura M., Houseman, E. Andres, Williams, David E., Dashwood, Roderick H., and Ho, Emily

Abstract:

Epigenetic changes, including aberrant DNA methylation, result in altered gene expression and play an important role in carcinogenesis. Phytochemicals such as sulforaphane (SFN) and 3,3′-diindolylmethane (DIM) are promising chemopreventive agents for the treatment of prostate cancer. Both have been shown to induce re-expression of genes, including tumor suppressor genes silenced...

3,3'-Diindolylmethane Induces G₁ Arrest and Apoptosis in Human Acute T-Cell Lymphoblastic Leukemia Cells

Creator:

Shorey, Lyndsey E., Hagman, Amanda M., Williams, David E., Ho, Emily, Dashwood, Roderick H., and Benninghoff, Abby D.

Abstract:

Certain bioactive food components, including indole-3-carbinol (I3C) and 3,3'-diindolylmethane (DIM) from cruciferous vegetables, have been shown to target cellular pathways regulating carcinogenesis. Previously, our laboratory showed that dietary I3C is an effective transplacental chemopreventive agent in a dibenzo[def,p]chrysene (DBC)-dependent model of murine T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma. The primary objective of the...
