[In both cell lines, proliferation was suppressed and apoptosis induced by the combination of KIT gene silencing and alpha-tocopherol succinate (alpha-TOS), a derivate of alpha-tocopherol, also known as vitamin E. Furthermore, HMC1 cells with decreased kit levels by KIT silencing, failed to form tumours when xenotransplanted into immunocompromised mice and the animals were treated systemically with alpha-TOS.].
