Micronucleus formation induced by dielectric barrier discharge plasma exposure in brain cancer cells

Abstract

Induction of micronucleus formation (cytogenetic damage) in brain cancer cells upon exposure of dielectric barrier discharge plasma has been investigated. We have investigated the influence of exposure and incubation times on T98G brain cancer cells by using growth kinetic, clonogenic, and micronucleus formation assay. We found that micronucleus formation rate directly depends on the plasma exposure time. It is also shown that colony formation capacity of cells has been inhibited by the treatment of plasma at all doses. Cell death and micronucleus formation are shown to be significantly elevated by 120 and 240 s exposure of dielectric barrier discharge plasma.

Altered Antioxidant System Stimulates Dielectric Barrier Discharge Plasma-Induced Cell Death for Solid Tumor Cell Treatment

“…DBD plasma had inhibitory effect on the growth of T98G cells in an exposure time-dependent manner. Plasma treatment for 30, 60, 120 and 240 s decreased the T98G cell count to 73% ( p <0.05), 66% ( p <0.05), 58% ( p <0.01), and 20% ( p <0.01), respectively, at 72 h incubation [25]. The SNU80, KB and HEK293 cells count were significantly decreased ( p <0.05) at a 240 s plasma-dose, but not after a 30 s plasma dose ( p >0.05).…”

Oxidative damage to osteoblasts can be alleviated by early autophagy through the endoplasmic reticulum stress pathway—Implications for the treatment of osteoporosis

“…It has been reported that the mitochondria were vulnerable to excessive H 2 O 2 insult, and this oxidative damage to the important cellular component resulted in mitochondriamediated apoptosis [33,[56][57][58][59]. In the osteoblasts treated with 1 mM H 2 O 2 for 6 h, flow cytometric analysis for JC-1 staining revealed that the mitochondrial membrane potential decreased significantly (Fig.…”
