Herein, we determined that inhibitors of complex I (rotenone) and complex II (TTFA) induce cell death and autophagy in the transformed cell line HEK 293, and in cancer cell lines U87 and HeLa.

16678157 Lai JS, Zhao C, Warsh JJ, Li PP: Cytoprotection by lithium and valproate varies between cell types and cellular stresses. Eur J Pharmacol. 2006 Jun 6;539(1-2):18-26. Epub 2006 Apr 5.

In the present study, we investigated whether lithium and valproate, at clinically relevant doses, protects human neuroblastoma (SH-SY5Y) and glioma (SVG and U87) cells against oxidative stress and endoplasmic reticulum stress in a time-dependent manner.
Pretreatment of SH-SY5Y cells for 7 days, but not 1 day, with 1 mM of lithium or 0.6 mM of valproate significantly reduced rotenone and H2O2-induced cytotoxicity, cytochrome c release and caspase-3 activation, and increased Bcl-2 levels.
