    AnnotationMitochondrial complex II (CII) is emerging as an important target for the mitocan α-tocopheryl succinate (α-TOS) in selectively killing cancer cells. Here, we show that CII also has a major role in the anti-cancer efficacy of the vitamin E analogue in vivo using an animal model of cancer. Wild type, CII-defective (succinate dehydrogenase subunit C, SDHC-mutant) and CII-reconstituted Chinese hamster lung fibroblasts were transformed with H-Ras, and were used to establish xenograft tumours in nude mice. Growth of the SDHC-wild type and SDHC-reconstituted tumours was highly sensitive to α -TOS, whereas the CII-defective tumours were relatively resistant to the drug, assessed by monitoring tumour progression using ultrasound imaging. Since mutations in complex II occur very rarely in human cancers, agents like vitamin E analogues should be effective anti-cancer drugs, and this study provides support for their testing in clinical trials
