| Abstract | Vitamin E derivatives are known to act as agents exhibiting cytotoxity againsttumor cells. The effect of vitamin E succinate on human epidermoid carcinomacell line A431 was investigated in this study using live imaging,immunocytochemistry, and transmission electron microscopy. α-Tocopherylsuccinate-induced apoptotic cell death in A431 cells was shown to be both dose-and time-dependent. The hyperproduction of reactive oxygen species, changes insize, shape and ultrastructural characteristics of mitochondria followed by therelease of cytochromecfrom mitochondria to cytosol wereobserved. These results suggest that α-tocopheryl succinate inducesapoptosis that occurs via the mitochondrial pathway. Mitochondria are shown tobe crucial targets in α-tocopheryl succinate-induced caspase-dependent celldeath in human carcinoma A431 cells. |
