Transcriptomic Analysis of the Anticancer Effects of Annatto Tocotrienol, Delta-Tocotrienol and Gamma-Tocotrienol on Chondrosarcoma Cells.

ABSTRACT: Previous studies have demonstrated the anticancer activities of tocotrienol on several types of cancer, but its effects on chondrosarcoma have never been investigated. Therefore, this study aims to determine the anticancer properties of annatto tocotrienol (AnTT), γ-tocotrienol (γ-T3) and δ-tocotrienol (δ-T3) on human chondrosarcoma SW1353 cells. Firstly, the MTT assay was performed to determine the half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC₅₀) of tocotrienol on SW1353 cells after 24 h treatment. The mode of cell death, cell cycle analysis and microscopic observation of tocotrienol-treated SW1353 cells were then conducted according to the respective IC₅₀ values. Subsequently, RNAs were isolated from tocotrienol-treated cells and subjected to RNA sequencing and transcri
