From: The Cell Activation Phenomena in the Cold Atmospheric Plasma Cancer Treatment
The de-sensitization of the CAP-activated cancer cells lasted 5 hours after a 1 min of CAP treatment. (a) The evolution of the activation state after the CAP treatment. (b) The calculated cell viability ratio of Case 3/Case 4. The 22 μM of H2O2 treatment was used as a probe to detect the existence of the activation state after a 1 min of CAP treatment. All protocols were the same as we introduced in Fig. 3. The data of Case 1, Case 2, Case 3, and Case 4 were shown in blue, orange, gray, and yellow, respectively. The H2O2 treatment was performed at a specific time after the CAP treatment, such as 0.5 hr, 1.0 hr, 1.5 hr, etc. The experiments performed in triplicate have been independently repeated for at least 3 times. The results were shown as the mean ± sd. Student’s t-tests were performed and the significance was indicated as ***p < 0.005, **p < 0.01, *p < 0.05, respectively.
