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.

We found novel development rescuing factors (DRFs) secreted from developing Dictyostelium cells, by using a mutant (erkB-) which is missing MAP-kinase ERK2 as a test strain for bioassay. The mutant erkB- fails to undergo multicellular morphogenesis due to impaired cAMP

The DIFs are unusual, chlorinated molecules which induce stalk cell differentiation during the later, multicellular phase of Dictyostelium development. Here we provide evidence that one or more DIFs have a role during early development, when small amounts are known to

Differentiation-inducing factors (DIFs) are chlorinated alkylphenones found in the cellular slime mold Dictyostelium discoideum. DIF derivatives exhibit antiproliferative activities and promote glucose consumption in mammalian cells in vitro. Here, we assessed the ability of DIFs to regulate the immune system

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
