Squamous cell carcinoma represents more than 90% of oral cavity malignancies. In advanced cases, when locoregional control is not possible using only surgery and radiotherapy adjuvant chemotherapy may play an important role to improve the quality of life and survival of these patients. Molecular events that occur during carcinogenesis are similar to those observed in the inflammatory process. So, the study of anti-inflammatory substances may be an important way for the development of new chemotherapeutic drugs for cancer. The aim of this study was to analyze a possible antitumoral effect of 2 natural anti-inflammatory oils (Copaiba and Andiroba) and a synthetic drug (dexamethasone) in a cell lineage of oropharynx squamous cell carcinoma (FaDu). Moreover, we tried to correlate NFkB protein expression with the inhibition of cell proliferation. Drugs effects were evaluated through quantitative methods (Western Blot method, growth and cell viability curves) and qualitative analyses (Immunofluorescence methods) before and after cell treatment. The control group was represented by the same cells (FaDu) grown in the absence of the drugs studied. After treatment all drugs promoted reduced growth and cell viability but with different potential actions. Copaiba oil showed a potent anti-proliferation action and to be inductor of apoptosis; the latter checked by testing positive for Tunel apoptotic cells. Andiroba oil and Dexamethasone promoted inhibition of cell proliferation, but not induction of apoptosis. The Dexamethasone action was time and dose dependent. There was a decrease expression and nuclear staining of NFkB by Western Blot and Immunofluorescence methods, respectively, after treatment with three anti-inflammatory substances. Oils of Copaiba and Andiroba and the dexamethasone promoted inhibition of cell proliferation FaDu lineage, showing an association with the level of expression of NFkB, which regulate genes that are involved in proliferation and cell survival.
