Application
DIF-3 has been used: as a glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β) activator to determine if GSK-3β is required for the anti-inflammatory actions of VU0360172 (VuPAM) in murine microglia, as a phosphorylation inhibitor for GSK-3β to examine the links between activation of protein kinase B (PKB)/GSK-3β/Fyn axis and nuclear factor erythroid 2–related factor 2 (NRF2) retention, as a GSK3β activator to study its effects on the cyclooxygenase 2 (COX2) expression levels in human primary chondrocytes in response to visfatin, as a GSK3β activator to study its effects on the intracellular mechanics along with F-actin and β-tubulin fiber networks in human primary chondrocytes
Biochem/physiol Actions
DIF-3 Inhibits cell cycle by inducing G0/G1 arrest.
Differentiation-inducing factor-3 (DIF-3) prevents the proliferation of intestinal cancer cells in vitro and in vivo. It may serve as a novel anti-cancer agent.
General description
Differentiation-inducing factor-3 (DIF-3) is a monochlorinated metabolite of differentiation-inducing factor-1 (DIF-1), that belongs to the differentiation-inducing factor (DIF) family.

DIF-1 (differentiation-inducing factor-1; 1-(3,5-dichloro-2, 6-dihydroxy-4-methoxyphenyl)hexan-1-one) is a putative morphogen that induces stalk cell formation in the cellular slime mold, Dictyostelium discoideum. It has been previously reported that DIF-1 exhibits anti-tumor activity in mammalian cells. In this study, we examined the

Previous work has led to the identification of a novel class of effector molecules [DIFs (differentiation-inducing factors) 1-3] released from the slime mould Dictyostelium discoideum. These substances induce stalk-cell differentiation in Dictyostelium discoideum and are thought to act as morphogens

In search of chemical substances applicable for the treatment of cancer and other proliferative disorders, we studied the signal transduction of Dictyostelium differentiation-inducing factors (DIFs) in mammalian cells mainly using HeLa cells. Although DIF-1 and DIF-3 both strongly inhibited cell

Stalk cell differentiation in Dictyostelium can be induced by the differentiation-inducing factor, DIF, or by conditions that decrease intracellular pH (pHi). We have investigated whether cytoplasmic acidification acts directly to induce expression of pDd56 and pDd63, two DIF-regulated genes, specifically
