Reduced cavitation-induced cellular damage by the antioxidative effect of vitamin E

Abstract: Fragmentation of human urinary and biliary stones by shock waves in extracorporeal lithotripsy is accompanied by tissue damage. Both the fragmentation as well as the side effects are often attributed to cavitation. The hazardous potential of cavitation is not only of a physical nature but also of a chemical nature, because of the generation of free radicals, e.g..OH, .H and '02. After the application of shock waves, we have demonstrated cavitation-generated free radicals in cell-free solutions and also in the … Show more

“…Conversely, the preincubation of MSC with NAC induced a significantly lower decrease in co-culture cell growth, thus confirming the ROS-mediated action of the MSC/SW system [46,47]. Our results are in agreement with a previously reported study, which describes the generation of ROS during cavitation and how the presence of a free radical-scavenger diminishes cells damage [40].…”

“…It is generally accepted that one of the main effectors of the non-thermal interactions between ultrasound and biological tissues is acoustic cavitation and that it is able to generate short-lived species, such as ROS and free radicals, thanks to its high-energy release [39,40]. It has been reported that ultrasound alone, which results in a cavitation process, can induce time-dependent apoptotic cell death in in vitro liquid tumors, such as human myeloid leukemia and histiocytic lymphoma [41,42].…”

“…An increase in HE-derived fluorescence intensity was observed after a shock wave treatment of cell suspension or a cell-free system containing HE [104,105]. It was shown that the increase in HE-derived fluorescence after treating cells with shock waves correlates directly with the cell membrane damage and increased membrane permeability, thus confounding the interpretation of the results of the flow cytometry measurements [106].…”

“…Because shock waves have been shown to produce free radicals in isolated cells [21, 22, 23], it is possible that the elevated basal [Ca 2+ ] i in SWE-treated cells was due to increased cell permeability induced by free radicals. The fact that allopurinol, which reduces free radical formation by inhibiting xanthine oxidase [24], blocked rises in basal [Ca 2+ ] i in SWE-treated MDCK cells [Jan, unpubl.…”
