Abstract
Cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) possesses the ability of high-efficiency disinfection. It is reported that mixtures of reactive oxygen species (ROS) including ·OH, 1O2, O2- and H2O2 generated from CAP have better antimicrobial ability than mimicked solution of mixture of single ROS type, but the reason is not clear. In this study, CAP was applied to treat yeasts in water in order to investigate the fungal inactivation efficiency and mechanism. The results showed that plasma treatment for 5 min could result in >2-log reduction of yeast cells, and application of varied ROS scavengers could significantly increase the yeast survival rate, indicating that ·OH and 1O2 played the pivotal role in yeast inactivation. Moreover, the synergistic effect of 1O2 with other plasma-generated ROS was revealed. 1O2 could diffuse into cells and induce the depolarization of mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), and different levels of MMP depolarization determined different cell death modes. Mild damage of mitochondria during short-term plasma treatment could lead to apoptosis. For long-term plasma treatment, the cell membrane could be severely damaged by the plasma-generated ·OH, so a large amount of 1O2 could induce more depolarization of MMP, leading to increase of intracellular O2- and Fe2+ which subsequently caused cell inactivation. 1O2 could also induce protein aggregation and increase of RIP1/RIP3 necrosome, leading to necroptosis. With participation of 1O2, endogenous ·OH could also be generated via Fenton and Haber-Weiss reactions during plasma treatment, which potentiated necroptosis. Adding l-His could mitigate membrane damage, inhibit the drop of MMP and the formation of necrosome, and thus prevent the happening of necroptosis. These findings may deepen the understanding of plasma sterilization mechanisms and provide guidance for microbial killing in the environment.

Pharmacological ascorbate improves the response to platinum-based chemotherapy in advanced stage non-small cell lung cancer. Redox Biol 2022; 53:102318. [PMID: 35525024 PMCID: PMC9079696 DOI: 10.1016/j.redox.2022.102318] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/15/2022] [Revised: 04/05/2022] [Accepted: 04/17/2022] [Indexed: 01/28/2023] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE Platinum-based chemotherapy with or without immunotherapy is the mainstay of treatment for advanced stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) lacking a molecular driver alteration. Pre-clinical studies have reported that pharmacological ascorbate (P-AscH-) enhances NSCLC response to platinum-based therapy. We conducted a phase II clinical trial combining P-AscH- with carboplatin-paclitaxel chemotherapy. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Chemotherapy naïve advanced stage NSCLC patients received 75 g ascorbate twice per week intravenously with carboplatin and paclitaxel every three weeks for four cycles. The primary endpoint was to improve tumor response per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1 compared to the historical control of 20%. The trial was conducted as an optimal Simon's two-stage design. Blood samples were collected for exploratory analyses. RESULTS The study enrolled 38 patients and met its primary endpoint with an objective response rate of 34.2% (p = 0.03). All were confirmed partial responses (cPR). The disease control rate was 84.2% (stable disease + cPR). Median progression-free and overall survival were 5.7 months and 12.8 months, respectively. Treatment-related adverse events (TRAE) included one grade 5 (neutropenic fever) and five grade 4 events (cytopenias). Cytokine and chemokine data suggest that the combination elicits an immune response. Immunophenotyping of peripheral blood mononuclear cells demonstrated an increase in effector CD8 T-cells in patients with a progression-free survival (PFS) ≥ 6 months. CONCLUSIONS The addition of P-AscH- to platinum-based chemotherapy improved tumor response in advanced stage NSCLC. P-AscH- appears to alter the host immune response and needs further investigation as a potential adjuvant to immunotherapy.
