Sulforaphane, a typical phytochemical, is an isothiocyanate derivative from cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli and its sprout. While sulforaphane protects higher plants from infections by various bio-invaders such as aphids, ticks, bacteria or nematodes, it shows cytotoxicity against various cancer cells in human body. However, the effects of sulforaphane on human leukemia cells are still incompletely elucidated now. In this paper, we examined the effects of sulforaphane on proliferation and viability of some human leukemia cell lines [Eol-1 (eosinophilic leukemia cell line), MOLT4 (T-lymphoblast cell line), RPMI-1788 (B-lymphoblastoid cell line) and U937 (monoblastic leukemia cell line). Sulforaphane showed strong cytotoxicity against these cell lines, resulting in inhibition of proliferation in a dose-dependent manner. Our data suggested that sulforaphane may serve as an effective agent for treatment of various types of leukemia.
