Influence of Cold Atmospheric Plasma on Cytokine Expression in Human Osteosarcoma Cells

Conclusion CAP treatment led to an attenuation of OS cell proliferation through the induction of apoptosis. Moreover, CAP influences cytokines expression in OS cells which further influences target cell proliferation, immunomodulation and chemotaxis. In addition, cytokines impact tumor angiogenesis and metastasis development. Our results confirm a modulating influence of CAP on cell-cell interactions and systemic processes. This makes CAP a promising therapy option, especially for chemoresistant entities.
