Figure 1From: Mitochondrial structure alteration in human prostate cancer cells upon initial interaction with a chemopreventive agent phenethyl isothiocyanateAlteration of mitochondria structure by PEITC. Alteration of cellular fine structure in human prostate cancer cells LNCaP exposed to PEITC. LNCaP cells without or with the exposure to PEITC at 8 μM were examined by transmission electron microscopy at 4 and 18 hours. Frame A and A’ show the control cells without the PEITC. Frames B-B’ and C-C’ depicted respectively the PEITC-exposed cells for 4 and 18 hours. Mit: mitochondria; G: Golgi; Nu: nucleus; RER: rough endoplamic reticulum; SER: smooth endoplasmic reticulum; Cr: cristae; and Vac: vacuoles. Bar in A = 0.5 μm, valid for B and C. Bar in A’ = 0.5 μm, valid for B’ and C’.Back to article page
