3,3′-Diindolylmethane (DIM) is an anti-cancer agent that induces cell cycle arrest and apoptosis through unknown mechanisms. Here, we report that DIM selectively induced proteasome-mediated degradation of the class I histone deacetylases (HDAC1, HDAC2, HDAC3, and HDAC8) in colon cancer cells, without affecting the class II HDAC proteins. DIM-induced down-regulation of the class I HDACs was also observed in vivo in tumor xenografts in nude mice. The depletion of the HDACs as the result of DIM treatment caused a reduction of the HDAC activity on the promoters of CDKN1A/WAF1/CIP1 and CDKN1B/KIP1 genes (encoding cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors p21 and p27, respectively) and significantly increased the expression of p21 and p27, which arrested cells at the G2 phase of the cell cycle. The degradation of the HDACs also caused DNA damage and triggered apoptosis. Thus, DIM acts by selectively targeting the class I HDACs to promote their degradation.
