Biochem/physiol Actions

DIM-C-pPhCO2Me is a NR4A1 (Nur77) antagonist that exhibit potent anticancer activity in pancreatic, colon, breast, kidney, and rhabdomyosarcoma cells. DIM-C-pPhCO2Me decreases expression of PAX3-FOXO1A and β1-integrin proteins in Rh30 rhabdomyosarcoma and MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells. DIM-C-pPhCO2Me inhibits migration of Rh30 and MDA-MB-231 cancer cells.
DIM-C-pPhCO2Me is also known as 1,1-bis(3′-indolyl)-1-(p-carboxymethylphenyl)methane. In pancreatic and colon cancer cells, DIM-C-pPhCO2Me plays an inhibitory role on cell migration. DIM-C-pPhCO2Me prevents the action of mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) and reduces the multiplication and survival of cancer cells. It stimulates reactive oxygen species (ROS) in various cancer cell lines.

Overexpression of the nuclear receptor 4A1 (NR4A1) in breast cancer patients is a prognostic factor for decreased survival and increased metastasis, and this has been linked to NR4A1-dependent regulation of transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) signaling. Results of RNA interference

1,1-Bis(3'-indolyl)-1-(p-substituted phenyl)methane (C-DIM) compounds exhibit antineoplastic activity in multiple cancer cell lines and the p-hydroxyphenyl analog (DIM-C-pPhOH) inactivates nuclear receptor 4A1 (NR4A1) in lung and pancreatic cancer cell lines. Using a series of 14 different p-substituted phenyl C-DIMs, we show

Alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma (ARMS) is a devastating pediatric disease driven by expression of the oncogenic fusion gene PAX3-FOXO1A. In this study, we report overexpression of the nuclear receptor NR4A1 in rhabdomyosarcomas that is sufficient to drive high expression of PAX3-FOXO1A there.
