Cell survival of glioblastoma grown in medium containing hydrogen peroxide and/or nitrite, or in plasma-activated medium.
Non-equilibrium atmospheric pressure plasmas generate a high electron density (on the order of 10(16) electrons per cm(-3)) using Ar gas. Culture medium in air at room temperature was plasma-irradiated for several hundred seconds. Tens of micromolar hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and millimolar levels of nitrous ion (NO2(-)) were detected in the plasma-irradiated culture medium (plasma activated medium; PAM) and selectively induced the apoptotic death of glioblastoma tumor cells, but did not kill normal mammary epithelial cells. A similar antitumor effect was induced by spiking the medium with comparable concentrations of H2O2 and NO2(-). The PAM remained still a somewhat difference that it should also be assessed for understanding other latent mechanisms.
