Objective To examine the relationships between the form of cell death (apoptosis or necrosis), reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and the level of heat-shock protein 70 (hsp 70) expression after thermotherapy of PC-3 prostate cancer cells; also assessed were the tumoricidal effects of combined treatment with both heat and the antioxidant inhibitor diethyldithiocarbamate (DDC).Materials and methods PC-3 cells were treated with thermotherapy at 42, 43 or 44degreesC for 30, 60, 90 or 120 min. Cell proliferation, ROS generation, SOD activity and cellular hsp 70 level were determined using tetrazolium-based cytotoxicity, fluorescent dichlorofluorescein (DCF) and nitroblue tetrazolium assays, Western blot analysis and flow cytometry, respectively. The apoptotic and necrotic cells were determined by staining with propidium iodide and fluorescein isothiocyanate-labelled annexin V. These variable were also measured after combined treatment of PC-3 cells with 1 mmol/L DDC and thermotherapy at 43 or 44degreesC for 60 min.Results Cell survival was significantly lower after heating cells at 43degreesC for 60, 90 and 120 min and at 44degreesC for all periods tested (P
