Cavitation-generated free radicals during shock wave exposure: Investigations with cell-free solutions and suspended cells

Abstract: Abstract--Extracorporeally generated shock waves as used in lithotripsy of urinary and biliary stones exhibit side effects in vivo. Furthermore, these shock waves destroy eukaryotic cells during in vitro treatment in suspension. A possible cause of these damaging effects might be cavitation, the growth and collapse of bubbles in liquids exposed to tensile stresses. During the collapse, temperature inside these cavitation bubbles rises up to several thousand K, leading to the formation of free radicals. We demo… Show more

“…Along with the mechanical effects of cavitation -surface ablation by jet streams of high velocity accelerated from asymmetrically collapsing bubbles there also exist chemical effects mediated by cavitation-generated free radicals. With different probes sensitive to oxidation, free radicals have been demonstrated after shock-wave application to cell free solutions 7,8,19.…”

“…2 Concerning the mechanism of the adverse effects of ESW, although initially they were attributed to renal damage resulting only from the direct action of cavitation bubbles or shear stress originating from shock-wave energy, more recently free oxygen and nitrogen radical production originating from transient ischemia due to ESW application was considered to be an integral element in shock wave-induced renal damage through an indirect mechanism. 5,6 Transient ischemia and following reperfusion causes release of cytokines/inflammatory cellular mediators, production of oxygenderived (reactive oxygen species ROS) free radicals, such as superoxide (O 2 ), peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) and hydroxyl radicals (OH À ), production of nitrogen-derived free radicals (reactive nitrogen species RNS), such as nitric oxide (NO) peroxynitrite (ONOO À ), and infiltration of tissue by inflammatory response cells and this process initiates the cellular damage and death. Which treatment with free radical scavengers has been found to be effective in terms of survival and renal function in experimental and clinical studies supports this hypothesis.…”

“…Therefore we performed a cytofluorimetric analysis of SW-treatment induced cell death after 24 h, in order to investigate whether cancer cell growth reduction was due to apoptotic and/or necrotic cell death. Our results highlighted very significant increases in both apoptotic and necrotic cells in SW-treated MSC/cancer cell co-cultures, as compared to untreated co-cultures, as 25 the cell death of MSC and cancer cells was due to the ROS burst selectively induced in MSC by SW exposure.…”

“…According to this model, ultrasound with specific characteristics can induce modifications in the lipid bilayer of cell membrane leading to intracellular deformations. Moreover, under appropriate conditions, a significant oxidative stress may occur during SW exposure due to the imbalance between ROS production and antioxidant defence [24], resulting in ROS-induced cytotoxicity [25]. However, the in vivo treatment of solid tumors by SW alone has been shown to be ineffective [26].…”
