Abstract: Due to the increased ultraviolet radiation, the incidence of melanoma is increasing worldwide more than that of any other cancer. In this study, the effects of irradiation of non-thermal atmospheric pressure plasmas (NEAPPs) on benign melanocytic tumors from our original hairless model mice (HL-RET-mice), in which benign melanocytic tumors and melanomas spontaneously develop in the skin stepwise, were examined. Expression levels of melanoma cell adhesion molecule (MCAM) and matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) m… Show more

“…One study did not specify the type of plasma production. 27 Helium alone was the most-used carrier gas (35.8%), followed by air (26.3%) and argon (22.1%) ( Table 1 ).…”

“…In the current study, we use nsP DBD with longer treatment times to induce cell death. Several studies have reported plasma induces apoptosis and DNA damage when used to treat cancer cells including melanoma, ovarian, colorectal, liver, lung, breast, and brain cancers. However, most of these studies used in vitro models to study the efficacy of plasma treatment on both malignant and normal cells and tissue .…”

“…The reports have shown the tumor suppression with different dosage of the plasma treatment 23 . The researchers also tried to figure out the mechanism of the plasma tumor interaction 23 24 . One of the benefits of the plasma treatment in the in-vivo model is that the plasma has low harm effects on the normal tissue in the appropriated dosages 25 .…”
