Palmitoylcarnitine toxicity is greater in colorectal cancer HT29 and HCT 116 cells than normal CCD 841 cells. Relative cell survival was measured in nontransformed CCD 841 cells (N = 11) as well as HT29 (N = 8) and HCT 116 (N = 3) cells for 24 h (A) and 48 h (B). Data are reported as means ± SE. P < 0.05, significant difference relative to 0 µM palmitoylcarnitine within the same cell type (*) and significant difference of the same palmitoylcarnitine concentration relative to CCD 841 (#).
