α-Tocopherol Long-Chain Metabolite α-T-13'-COOH Exhibits Biphasic Effects on Cell Viability, Induces ROS-Dependent DNA Damage, and Modulates Redox Status in Murine RAW264.7 Macrophages.

ABSTRACT:

Scope

The α-tocopherol long-chain metabolite α-tocopherol-13'-hydroxy-chromanol (α-T-13'-COOH) is a proposed regulatory intermediate of endogenous vitamin E metabolism. Effects of α-T-13'-COOH on cell viability and adaptive stress response are not well understood. The present study aims to investigate the concentration-dependent effects of α-T-13'-COOH on cellular redox homeostasis, genotoxicity, and cytotoxicity in murine RAW264.7 macrophages as a model system.

Methods and results

Murine RAW264.7 macrophages are exposed to various dosages of α-T-13'-COOH to determine its regulatory effects on reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, DNA damage, expression of stress-related markers, and the activity of ROS scavenging enzymes including superoxide dismutases, catalase, and gl
