The aim of this study is to investigate the antineoplastic potential of photodynamic therapy (PDT) mediated by an aluminum-phthalocyanine chloride nanoemulsion (AlPc-NE), against an oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) cell line in vitro. Both OSCC (SCC9) and A431 cell lines were studied in vitro. Four study groups were used: Group 1 (phosphate-buffered saline [PBS]), Group 2 (PBS + 28.3 J/cm2 irradiation), Group 3 (AlPc-NE alone), and Group 4 (AlPc-NE + 28.3 J/cm2 irradiation). To test the effect of PDT with AlPc-NE, cell viability, migration, and cell death assays were performed. Moreover, the expressions of Ki-67 and TP53 were evaluated using immunoassays. The results showed that PDT mediated by all AlPc-NE concentrations evaluated (i.e., 0.7, 0.35, and 0.17 nM AlPc) significantly reduced the viability of SCC9 cells. Migration and cell death assays also revealed that PDT with AlPc-NE significantly reduced the rate of migration and increased cell death compared to the control groups. In addition, it was found that PDT with AlPc-NE reduced Ki-67 and mutated TP53 immunoexpression. PDT with AlPc-NE is effective in reducing the viability and migration of SCC9. Moreover, PDT with AlPc-NE nanoemulsions reduces the cell proliferation and expression of mutant TP53.
