Resumo

The widely accepted resazurin-based assay can be used, prior to in vivo studies, as an inexpensive method to determine cytotoxicity. The aim of this study was to evaluate and standardize the assay conditions for oral squamous cancer cell (OSCC) and glioblastoma (U87-MG) lines by UV-vis spectroscopy. The cells were treated with 25 mu gmL(-1) of resazurin sodium salt and then incubated for 4 h, 6 h, and 6.5 h. All absorbance measurements were carried out at 21 +/- 1 degrees C on a spectrophotometer with a microplate reader. After 4-hs of incubation, resazurin was completely reduced by OSCC cells, as demonstrated by the suppression of the absorbance at 380 nm. However, the U87-MG cells needed 6.5 h of incubation to demonstrate the same behavior. The Statistical analysis did not indicate significant differences between the OSCC and U87-MG cell lines' viability after 4 and 6.5 h respectively. We concluded that spectroscopic analysis is an efficient method for the standardization of the resazurin assay. In addition, without the implementation of suitable protocols, there could be an increase in the chance of errors or false positives or negatives that would reduce the usefulness of the data. (AU)
