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.
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
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.
DIF-3 Inhibits cell cycle by inducing G0/G1 arrest.

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

Chagas disease (human American trypanosomiasis), which is caused by the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, is responsible for numerous deaths each year; however, established treatments for the disease are limited. Differentiation-inducing factor-1 (DIF-1) and DIF-3 are chlorinated alkylphenones originally found in
