1 Studies were conducted to determine whether tocotrienol-induced apoptosis is mediated by activation of the caspase-8 and/or caspase-9 pathway. Tocotrienols caspase 8 Mus musculus
2 Furthermore, treatment with specific caspase-8 or -3 inhibitors, but not caspase-9 inhibitor, completely blocked the tocotrienol-induced apoptosis in +SA cells. Tocotrienols caspase 8 Mus musculus
3 These findings demonstrate that tocotrienol-induced apoptosis in +SA mammary cancer cells is mediated through activation of the caspase-8 signaling pathway and is independent of caspase-9 activation. Tocotrienols caspase 8 Mus musculus
