The effects of carotenoids - alpha-carotene, beta-carotene, lycopene, beta-cryptoxanthin, zeaxanthin, lutein, canthaxanthin, astaxanthin - on the invasion of rat ascites hepatoma AH109A cells were investigated by co-culturing the hepatoma cells with rat mesentery-derived mesothelial cells (M-cells). All the carotenoids examined inhibited AH109A invasion in a dose-dependent manner up to 5 mu M. Cancer cells previously cultured with hypoxanthine (HX) and xanthine oxidase (XO) showed a highly invasive activity. Carotenoids, 5 mu M of beta-carotene and astaxanthin, suppressed this reactive oxygen species-potentiated invasive capacity by simultaneously treating AH109A cells with the carotenoids, HX and XO. These results suggest that the antioxidative property of these carotenoids may be involved in their anti-invasive action. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
