Objectives: Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is a malignant disease that affects the oral cavity. Lidocaine has shown antiproliferative and cytotoxic activity on several cell types. The rapid dispersion is a limitation issue; however, the complexation in cyclodextrin improved pharmacological features and modified the drug release. This study investigated the effects of lidocaine (lido) complexed with 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD-lido) on cell viability and proliferation of human tongue squamous cell carcinoma SCC9 and SCC25.

Methods: The complex formation was confirmed by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Cells SCC9 and SCC25 were exposed to lido and HP-β-CD-lido (40-4000 μm), and the effects on cell viability (MTT) and antiproliferative activity (SRB) were tested.

Key Findings: Differential scanning calorimetry and SEM results demonstrated the occurrence of host-guest interaction. Lido and HP-β-CD-lido (4000 μm) significantly reduced the viability of SCC9 cells to 83% and 63%, respectively. The viability of SCC25 treated with lido, and HP-β-CD-lido (4000 μm) was 71% and 44%, respectively. Lido (4000 μm) reduced the proliferation of SCC9 and SCC25 to 39.5% and 23.7%, respectively. HP-β-CD-lido (4000 μm) was cytotoxic for both cell lines.

Conclusions: HP-β-CD was able to potentiate the in vitro cytotoxic effects of lidocaine on human squamous cell carcinoma.

Objective: This study aims to evaluate the viability of a hypothesis for selective targeting of skin cancer cells by exploiting the spectral gap with healthy cells using analytical and numerical simulation.

Methods: The spectral gap was first identified using a viscoelastic dynamic model, with the physical and mechanical properties of healthy and cancerous skin cells deduced from previous experimental studies conducted on cell lines. The outcome of the analytical simulation was verified numerically using modal and harmonic analysis.

This study utilizes single-cell RNA sequencing data to reveal the transcriptomic characteristics of breast cancer and normal epithelial cells. Nine significant cell populations were identified through stringent quality control and batch effect correction. Further classification of breast cancer epithelial cells based on the PAM50 method and clinical subtypes highlighted significant heterogeneity between triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and non-triple-negative breast cancer (NTNBC).
