Description of α-Tocopherol phosphate

α-Tocopherol phosphate is a water-soluble form of α-tocopherol. α-Tocopherol phosphate functions by scavenging reactive oxygen species and regulating gene expression. α-Tocopherol phosphate can also inhibit tumor cell proliferation and induce apoptosis by modulating the activity of signaling pathways such as Hedgehog, PI3K/Akt, and Src/STAT3[1-2]. α-Tocopherol phosphate can be used in research related to antioxidation and cardiovascular diseases[3-4].

In vitro, ALDH+ MDA-MB-231 cells were co-treated with α-Tocopherol phosphate (100μM) and PS-T for 24 hours. α-Tocopherol phosphate reversed the PS-T-induced increase in lipid oxidation and malondialdehyde concentration, and prevented the inhibitory effects of PS-T on colony formation and mammosphere formation[5]. U87MG and U251 glioblastoma cells were treated with α-Tocopherol phosphate (5μM) and ferrostatin-1 for 24 hours. α-Tocopherol phosphate blocked the NKAP knockdown-induced slowdown in cell proliferation and reversed the increased cell death, apoptosis rate, and lactate dehydrogenase release caused by NKAP knockdown[6].

In vivo, SKG/Jcl mice with laminarin-induced rheumatoid arthritis were intraperitoneally administered α-Tocopherol phosphate (100mg/kg; three times a week for 7 weeks). α-Tocopherol phosphate suppressed edema in the paws and joints, improved the arthritis score, and inhibited pannus formation[7]. Male Swiss mice received a single intracerebroventricular injection of α-Tocopherol phosphate (0.1 or 1nmol/site; 3μL). Two days after the injection, α-Tocopherol phosphate reduced the expression of glutathione reductase and peroxiredoxin 2, and decreased glutathione reductase activity in the hippocampus and cerebral cortex[8].

Protocol of α-Tocopherol phosphate

Cell experiment [1]:

Cell lines

ALDH+ MDA-MB-231 cells (triple-negative breast cancer stem cell-enriched population)

Preparation Method

ALDH+ MDA-MB-231 cells were co-treated with α-Tocopherol phosphate (100μM) and PS-T. The ALDH+ cells were sorted and maintained in culture.

Reaction Conditions

100μM; 24 hours.

Applications

α-Tocopherol phosphate reversed the PS-T-induced increase in lipid oxidation and malondialdehyde concentration. α-Tocopherol phosphate also prevented the inhibitory effects of PS-T on stemness markers (POU5F1, SOX2, NANOG), as well as colony and mammosphere formation.

Animal experiment [2]:

Animal models

SKG/Jcl mice (laminarin-induced rheumatoid arthritis model)

Preparation Method

Laminarin dissolved in PBS was intraperitoneally administered to mice to induce arthritis. Seven days after laminarin administration, α-Tocopherol phosphate (100mg/kg) dissolved in PBS was intraperitoneally administered to the mice. Control group received PBS only.

Dosage form

100mg/kg; intraperitoneal injection; 3 times a week for 7 weeks.

Applications

α-Tocopherol phosphate administration ameliorated the edema of the foot and joint, improved the arthritis score, and inhibited pannus formation.
