(a) Apoptosis assay of normal peritoneal mesothelial cells and GC cells treated with 3% PASA. The percentages of apoptotic plus dead MKN1-Luc and MKN45-Luc cells increased within T = 3 min. (b) Morphological change induced by 3% PASA treatment. Morphological changes in MKN45-Luc cells by treatment with 3% sodium acetate solutions without plasma exposure (control group) or 3% PASA for T = 10 min (treatment group) were observed using time-lapse photography. In the treatment group, numerous blebs, indicative of apoptosis, were observed around the cells (arrow).
