✦ Synopsis

Hexavalent chromium is found to be a strong mutagen, and it also is a potential carcinogen in man. DNA flow cytometry, growth measurements, and determinations of mitotic index show that 1-2 microM K2Cr2O7 produces a prolongation of the G2 phase of the cell cycle in NHIK 3025 cells. By increasing the chromate concentrations (greater than 2 microM K2Cr2O7) the cells are also arrested in G2 phase. We have found, using synchronized cells and measuring cell cycle time, that the most chromate-sensitive part of the cell cycle is S phase. This phase is also somewhat prolonged, and the cells became arrested in early S phase at high toxic K2Cr2O7 concentrations (8 microM). Our results thus indicate that K2Cr2O7 has an effect within S phase--maybe on DNA/RNA synthesis--and also interferes with processes necessary for progression through the G2 phase.

When quiescent cells in monolayer culture are stimulated to proliferate with growth factor, the entry into S-phase or mitosis appears to follow first-order kinetics, with a probability to enter the cell cycle that depends on growth factor concentration (Smith and Martin, 1973).

## Abstract Epidemiological studies have shown that a diet rich in fruits and cruciferous vegetables is associated with a lower risk of prostate cancer. Indole‐3‐carbinol (I3C) and its dimeric product 3,3′‐diindolylmethane (DIM) have been shown to exhibit anti‐tumor activity both in vitro and in vi
