Tocotrienols induce endoplasmic reticulum stress and apoptosis in cervical cancer cells

ConclusionsOur study demonstrates that γ- and δ-T3 induce apoptosis also in tumor cells lacking of ERβ by triggering signals originating from endoplasmic reticulum stress. Our observations suggest that tocotrienols could have a significant role in tumor cell physiology and a possible therapeutic potential.
