Proteomic analysis was carried out to identify differentially expressed proteins in order to elucidate the biological processes modulated by the treatment. Mitochondrial morphology and function were analyzed by confocal microscopy and oxygen consumption rate, respectively, while mitochondrial membrane potential, intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels and GSH\/GSSG ratio were evaluated by fluorescence-based assays.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      HC treatment significantly reduced melanoma cell proliferation and migration\n                      <jats:italic>in vitro<\/jats:italic>\n                      , accompanied by morphological alteration and apoptosis death. Proteomic profiling revealed differential expression of several proteins involved, for example, in membrane and mitochondria organization.
