Taurolidine (Taurolin) is a derivative of the amino acid taurine, successfully used in the treatment of peritonitis. In vitro and in vivo studies have shown that taurolidine inhibits cell proliferation and induces apoptosis in a variety of tumor cell lines. At present there are no published studies on the use of taurolidine in the treatment of squamous cell carcinoma. Our aim was to examine the inhibition of cell proliferation and induction of apoptosis in cell lines SCC 4 and SCC 15 treated with taurolidine in concentrations of 0.01%, 0.1%, and 0.5%. Analogue to the present investigations on adenocarcinoma cell lines, we used toxic antiseptic povidone iodine in the same concentration as for the reference group. Untreated cells were used as a control group. The cells were incubated with taurolidine or povidone iodine once for 2 h at 37 degrees C in 5% CO(2). Cell proliferation was assessed using WST-1 labeling kit after 3, 24, 48, 72, and 96 h. The additional measurement of cell apoptosis was examined using ELISA(PLUS) cell death detection kit and performed after 0, 24, and 48 h. The findings showed a significant inhibition of cell proliferation and induction of apoptosis in taurolidine-treated cells SCC 4 and SCC 15 in contrast to the reference group treated with povidone iodine or the untreated control group.
