Nanotherapy applied to cancer treatment is constantly evolving, and new approaches to current techniques, such as magnetohyperthermia, are being implemented to solve and minimize the limitations of conventional therapeutic strategies. The purpose of this study was to investigate the action of polyphosphate-coated maghemite nanoparticles (MNPs) on oral squamous cell carcinoma. Human oral cancer cells (UM-SCC14A) were incubated with MNPs at various concentrations and subjected to cell proliferation tests (MTT), apoptosis assays and transmission electron image analysis. Viability and apoptotic events were time and dose dependent. These in vitro tests showed that at the intermediate concentration tested there is no significant toxicity, as confirmed by transmission electron microscopy. For this reason this MNPs concentration was chosen for the subsequent in vivo tests. Oral tumor induction was performed by applying the carcinogen DMBA to Syrian hamsters. Animals were then treated by magnetohyperthermia using MNPs. No signs of general clinical symptoms of toxicity or abnormal behavioral reactions were observed. However, animals treated with MNPs and exposed to the alternating magnetic field in the hyperthermia procedure exhibited a significant and time dependent cancer regression, as confirmed by histopathological analyses and immunohistochemistry. Actually, in quantitative terms of the magnetotherapy efficacy involving these polyphosphate-coated MNPs, 100% recovery (12/12) was observed in the oral cancer tumor bearing Syrian hamsters seven days after the treatment with the magnetohyperthermia procedure. Data supports the suggestion that the MNPs-mediated hyperthermia represents a promising strategy for the treatment of oral cancer.in patients with malignancies in the mouth region. Unlike many other oncology subspecialties, however, the rates of recurrence and overall survival have improved only modestly over the past decades, despite the continuous search for new therapeutic techniques [6,7]. Thus, it is expected that the identification and use of specific agents will lead to individualized treatments, which in turn will lead to significantly better results as manifested by more cures and better quality of life by decreasing toxicity [8].Over the last years, maghemite nanoparticles (MNPs) have appeared as a well-established technology and an important field of research in superparamagnetism of colloidal materials, characteristic which allows them to be guided with an external magnetic field [9]. Recently, MNPs have been investigated for therapeutic purposes such as hyperthermic treatment [10,11]. Magnetohyperthermia (MHT) represents a novel and promising therapy for cancer treatment [11,12], being capable of promoting the specific lysis of tumor cells, thereby improving patient outcomes while minimizing the subsequent toxicity effects [13].
