Abstract | BACKGROUND/AIM: MATERIALS AND METHODS: Rat PC12 cells were induced to differentiate into neuronal cells by repeated overlay of serum-free medium supplemented with nerve growth factor. The cytotoxic levels of anticancer drugs against four human oral squamous cell carcinoma cell lines, three normal oral cells, and undifferentiated and differentiated PC12 cells were determined by the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide method. Cells were sorted for apoptotic cells (distributed into subG1 phase) and cells at different stages of cell cycle (G1, S and G2/M). RESULTS: All 19 anticancer drugs showed higher cytotoxicity against PC12 compared to oral normal cells. Among them, bortezomib showed the highest cytotoxicity against both undifferentiated and differentiated PC12 cell and, committed them to undergo apoptosis. Sodium ascorbate and N-acetyl-L-cysteine, but not vitamin B12, completely reversed the cytotoxicity of bortezomib. CONCLUSION:
