Ability of α-TEA, alone or in combination with selenium, to induce human prostate cancer cells to undergo apoptosis via enhancement of pro-apoptotic Fas signaling and suppression of pro-life Akt signaling pathways

In the present study, the anti-tumor efficacy of α-TEA, a derivative of RRR-α-tocopherol, was investigated in LNCaP and PC-3-GFP human prostate cancer cells. Data show that α-TEA induced apoptosis in both cell lines in a time- and dose-dependent manner. Data show that α-TEA induces apoptosis through...
