等离子体是一种电离气体,通常在高温实验室条件下产生。然而,大气等离子体的最新进展导致了离子温度接近室温的冷等离子体的产生。体外和体内研究都表明,冷等离子体选择性地杀死癌细胞。我们证明:(A)冷等离子体应用在体外选择性地根除癌细胞,而不损害正常细胞;以及(B)在体内显著缩小肿瘤大小。结果表明,活性氧代谢和氧化应激反应基因的调控被解除。冷等离子体肿瘤消融术的发展有可能改变目前的癌症治疗模式,并通过利用另一种物质状态来实现癌症治疗技术的变革。
Plasma is an ionised gas that is typically generated in high-temperature laboratory conditions. However, recent progress in atmospheric plasmas has led to the creation of cold plasmas with ion temperature close to room temperature. Both in-vitro and in-vivo studies revealed that cold plasmas selectively kill cancer cells. We show that: (a) cold plasma application selectively eradicates cancer cells in vitro without damaging normal cells; and (b) significantly reduces tumour size in vivo. It is shown that reactive oxygen species metabolism and oxidative stress responsive genes are deregulated. The development of cold plasma tumour ablation has the potential of shifting the current paradigm of cancer treatment and enabling the transformation of cancer treatment technologies by utilisation of another state of matter.
