摘要
肿瘤严重危害人类生命和健康,化疗抵抗是当前临床肿瘤治疗所面临的主要屏障之一。为探究高压纳秒脉冲电场是否能够对化疗抵抗的肿瘤细胞具有同等敏感性,以肺癌细胞系A549及顺铂化疗抵抗的A549/R为研究对象,用80个脉冲宽度为200 ns,场强为5~15 kV/cm的纳秒脉冲作用后分析对比其活性情况、致死效应及消融阈值差异。结果表明:当场强为8、10、15 kV/cm纳秒脉冲电场作用下A549/R细胞的存活率分别为5.65%、7.78%、2.80%,显著低于A549(分别为48.31%、26.8%、5.96%);诱导的凋亡和坏死率也显著高于A549(P<0.05);在80个宽度为200 ns,场强为15 kV/cm的脉冲作用下,A549/R单层细胞消融面积是A549的1.59倍;A549/R的消融阈值为~8 kV/cm,显著低于A549(~13 kV/cm)。因此,纳秒脉冲电场为可优先选择杀伤化疗抵抗的A549/R细胞,诱导更高的凋亡率、消融面积,并且有更低的消融阈值。高压纳秒脉冲对化疗抵抗的肿瘤细胞的选择性作用,可望作为一种新型的物理选择方式联合其他肿瘤治疗方法,克服肿瘤治疗临床难点,为化疗抵抗或高恶性度的肿瘤消融提供新策略。
Tumor seriously endanger the lives and health of human people. Chemoresistance is one of the main barriers to successful tumor treatment. In order to explore whether high voltage nanosecond pulsed electric fields can be equally sensitive to chemotherapy-resistant tumor cells compared with its homology tumor cells, lung cancer cell line A549 and cisplatin chemotherapy-resistant A549/R were used as the research object in this paper. After exposing to the 80 nanosecond pulses with a pulse width of 200 ns and a field strength of 5-15 kV/cm, the activity of cell, apoptosis and necrosis and ablation effect were analyzed and compared in groups. The results showed that the survival rate of A549/R was 5.65%, 7.78% and 2.80% respectively when exposed to pulses electric field with strength of 8 kV/cm, 10 kV/cm and 15 kV/cm, which was significantly lower than that of A549 cells(48.31%, 26.8%, and 5.96%, respectively for 8 kV/cm, 10 and 15 kV/cm). The induced apoptosis and necrosis rates were also significantly higher than A549(P<0.05); In addition, when exposed to 80 pulses(200 ns, 15 kV/cm), the ablation area of single-layer cells for A549/R was 1.59 times that of A549 cells, and the ablation threshold for A549/R(8 kV/cm) is significantly lower than that of A549(13 kV/cm). Therefore, the nanosecond pulsed electric field with a pulse width of 200 ns could preferentially kill A549/R, inducing a higher rate of apoptosis, ablation area and a lower ablation threshold. The experimental results showed that high-voltage nanosecond pulse could preferentially act on chemotherapy-resistant tumor cells.
