Non-Thermal Plasma Causes P53-Dependent Apoptosis in Human Colon Carcinoma Cells

Abstract: Non-thermal plasma (NTP) consists of a huge amount of biologically active particles, whereas its temperature is close to ambient. This combination allows one to use NTP as a perspective tool for solving different biomedical tasks, including antitumor therapy. The treatment of tumor cells with NTP caused dose-dependent effects, such as growth arrest and apoptosis. However, while the outcome of NTP treatment has been established, the molecular mechanisms of the interaction between NTP and eukaryotic cells have n… Show more

“…Thus, our results obtained on 3D spheroids are in agreement with the literature showing that direct exposure to air plasma generated from an anodic nozzle [12] or dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) setup with a floating electrode [11] results in cell apoptosis. However, it is important to note that we used a remote helium plasma jet delivering lower deposited energy in comparison, for instance, to the DBD setup with a floating electrode already used for in vitro cell exposure but with the analysis in a 2D configuration [11,27]. Furthermore, our results also demonstrate that the DNA damaging effect and the subsequent cell death and growth inhibitory effects are regionalized when helium plasma is applied on a 3D microtumor.…”

“…Obviously, such ROS are generated in the media through the interactions of the gaseous low-temperature plasma with such liquid media. Following partial information in the literature [11,27], the ROS generated in the media can be, for instance, hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ), superoxide (O 2 − ), nitrogen oxides with other long-lived excited species and also atomic oxygen, as shown from the emission spectroscopy in section 2.3.…”

“…Therefore, novel non-chemical strategies for treating colorectal cancer are urgently needed. NTGP has been characterized in various clinical applications as a promising tool for wound healing (27), plasma sterilization (28), blood coagulation (29), cell detachment (30), induction of apoptosis (31), and cancer therapy (32). Therefore, we investigated whether NTGP induces apoptosis in SNUC5 human colon carcinoma cells by generating ER stress.…”

“…The selective inhibition of the proliferative activity and the reduction of their carcinogenic properties in several malignant cell lines after its exposure to the cold plasma has been described recently . Due to the higher resistance of non transforming (normal) cells comparing to the cancer cells in response to the damaging factors of the plasma irradiation, the use of the low‐temperature gas plasma in the therapy of the oncology diseases has been proposed by some authors …”
