Overview

This study demonstrates enhanced apoptosis in melanoma cells, highlighting vitamin C's role in cytochrome c and TNF-α expression.

Key Points

  • Vitamin C significantly increases cytochrome c and TNF-α expression in melanoma cells, inducing apoptosis.
  • Caspase-3 expression showed meaningful increments at vitamin C concentrations of 3,000 µM and 5,000 µM.
  • Exposure for 12 hours resulted in observable signs of cell death, indicating the effectiveness of vitamin C treatment.
  • Gene expression analysis revealed that vitamin C initiates multiple apoptotic pathways in B16-F10 melanoma cells.
