Alterations in Smad4 signaling and its loss causes genomic instability and head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), suggesting that agents which target both Smad4-dependent and -independent pathways could control HNSCC. Resveratrol efficacy was evaluated against HNSCC cells, FaDu, Cal27, Det562, and Cal27-Smad4 for viability, DNA damage, cell cycle progression, and apoptosis, as well as DNA damage, γH2AX expression and foci formation (γH2AX and Brca1). Resveratrol efficacy was also examined in nude mice for FaDu xenograft growth. Xenografts were analyzed for γH2AX and cleaved caspase-3. Resveratrol (5-50 μM) suppressed viability and induced DNA damage in FaDu and Cal27 cells, but not in NHEK and HFF, showing its selectivity towards HNSCC cells; however, Det562 cells were resistant to resveratrol even at 100 μM. Cal27 cells stably transfected with Smad4 showed similar resveratrol effects as parental Cal27 indicating that a lack of resveratrol effect in Det562 cells was independent of Smad4 status in these cells. Furthermore, resveratrol caused S phase arrest and apoptotic death of FaDu and Cal27 cells together with induction of Brca1 and γH2AX foci. Resveratrol (50 mg/kg bw) treatment also inhibited FaDu tumor growth in nude mice, and γH2AX and cleaved caspase-3 were strongly increased in xenografts from resveratrol-treated mice compared to controls. Our findings for the first time showed anti-proliferative, DNA damaging and apoptotic effects of resveratrol in HNSCC cells independent of Smad4 status, both in vitro and in vivo, suggesting that more studies are needed to establish its potential usefulness against HNSCC.
