Treatment of B-16 melanoma cells in culture with d-alpha-tocopheryl succinate (vitamin E succinate) at concentrations of 11.3 and 15.1 microM inhibited growth and induced cell differentiation in culture. Vitamin E succinate treatment decreased the levels of c-myc and H-ras specific mRNAs in melanoma cells. Similar results were obtained by the vitamin retinoic acid and the nonvitamin agents R020-1724 (4-(3-butoxy-4-methoxybenzyl)-2-imidazolidinone), an inhibitor of cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase (0.72 mM), and sodium butyrate (1 mM), which induced differentiation and (or) inhibited growth of melanoma cells in culture. The extent of inhibition of c-myc mRNA was greater than that of H-ras mRNA. These results indicate that vitamin E succinate induced reduction of the levels of c-myc and H-ras mRNAs is related to growth inhibition of melanoma cells in culture.
