    Abstract:
    Phenethyl isothiocyanate (PEITC), a kind of isothiocyanate available in cruciferous vegetables, exhibits inhibitory effects on cancers. PEITC has been extensively recorded for its effect on regulation of redox status in cancer cells. Our previous studies revealed that PEITC induced ROS-dependent cell death in osteosarcoma. Mitochondria are the main sites for ROS generation and play significant role in deciding cell fate. To dissect the mechanism of PEITC's action on osteosarcoma cells, we detected the changes on mitochondrial network, function and metabolism in K7M2 and 143B cells. Here, PEITC induced cytosolic, lipid and mitochondrial ROS production in osteosarcoma cells. It changed mitochondrial morphology from elongated to punctate network and decreased mitochondrial mass. Meantime, PEITC increased mitochondrial transmembrane potential in short time, decreased it with time prolonged, and later collapsed it in K7M2 cells, and reduced it in 143B cells. PEITC inhibited proliferation potential of osteosarcoma cells with damage on mitochondrial respiratory chain complexes. Further, PEITC-treated osteosarcoma cells experienced a sudden increase in ATP level, and later its content was decreased. Moreover, PEITC downregulated the expressions of mitochondrial respiratory chain complexes including COX IV, UQCR, SDHA and NDUFA9 in 143B cells and COX IV in K7M2 cells. At last, by using ρ0 cells derived from K7M2 and 143B cells, we found that osteosarcoma cells that depleted mtDNA were less sensitive to PEITC-induced changes on cellular morphology, cytoskeleton filament, mitochondrial transmembrane potential and ROS generation. In conclusion, our study demonstrated that mitochondria may play important role in PEITC-induced oxidative cell death in osteosarcoma cells.
