It has been described to possess cell protecting activity in normal cells but was shown to induce apoptotic cell death in cancer cells. We determined to which extent and based on which molecular mechanisms melatonin is able to cause apoptosis in HT‐29 human colon cancer cells. Induction of apoptosis was assessed by caspase‐3‐like activity, nuclear fragmentation and chromatin condensation. Melatonin, when given alone at a concentration of 1 mM, did not affect any of the apoptosis markers. It potentiated apoptosis induced by the flavonoid flavone significantly. Whereas flavone alone at a concentration of 150 μM led to a 8‐fold increase in caspase‐3‐like activity associated with around 40% of cells displaying DNA‐fragmentation, a combination of flavone and melatonin increased caspase‐3‐like activity 30‐fold and 80% of cells exhibited fragmentation of DNA when compared to untreated controls. Melatonin caused an increase in cytosolic lactate levels that most likely allows the flavone‐induced activation of the mitochondrial pyruvate/lactate importer to deliver more substrates to mitochondrial respiration.
