The involvement of mitochondria in the pro-apoptotic effects of carotenoids has been clearly demonstrated by the fact that P-carotene induces the release of cytochrome c from mitochondria and alters the mitochondrial membrane potential (Aym) in different tumor cells (Palozza et al., 2003a). Moreover, the highly polar xanthophyll neoxanthin has been reported to induce apoptosis in colon cancer cells by a mechanism that involves its accumulation into the mitochondria and a consequent loss of mitochondrial transmembrane potential and releas of cytochrome c and apoptosis-inducing factor (Terasaki et al., 2007).

In summary, treatment with 13-MTD induced no change in activity and expression of caspase-3. Furthermore, 13-MTD induced no mobilization of cellular calcium. However, 13-MTD altered mitochondrial transmembrane potential and induced AIF translocation from the mitochondria to the nucleus after 4 h of treatment. These results support the view that incorporation of 13-MTD into cellular lipids triggers apoptosis via a caspase-independent pathway.
