Extract

Proper nutrition and vitamin consumption have long been associated with lower risks for many human cancers. Data from recent studies have suggested that exposure to antioxidant vitamins and vitamin combinations can induce genetic programed cell death, apoptosis, in human cancer cells. ‘“3 In this study, we report on the induction of apoptosis in HT-29 human colon adenocarcinoma cells after exposure to low doses of 13- c/s-retinoic acid (RA) and vitamin E succinate (VES). Induction of apoptosis was seen only in cancerous colon cells and not in normal human colon cells when exposed to RA and VES in combination, but not when exposed to either vitamin alone.

Cultures of HT-29 cells were seeded in 6 well plates at 10,000 cells/well and grown at 37°C, 5% C02 in RPMI 1640 medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum.
