Popis: International audience; Non-thermal plasma (NTP) has a significant antitumor activity in vitroon different cell lines including brain, colorectal and lung tumor. The necessarydose to kill 50% of cells was ~9J/cm² for these different cell lines. ReactiveOxygen Species (ROS) generated during treatment appears to be responsible ofthis effect and induce DNA damages together with a cell cycle arrest leading toan apoptosis induction. These promising results in vitro lead us to evaluate NTPin vivo. The tolerance study was conducted with NF-kB-luc reported mice. NFkBis a transcription factor implied in inflammatory process and bioluminescenceimaging of this strain of mice allows monitoring of inflammation intensity andtime course. Tracheal intubation with Plasma Gun using a small catheter and lowgas flow was successfully achieved. As a preliminary result, an induction of theinflammatory process was observed in the treated lung after 6 and 12 min oftreatment. Concerning colorectal inflammation following FE-DBD treatment,NF-kB mice failed to reveal any inflammation in preliminary experiments.Further investigations are needed to elaborate a treatment protocol for lung andcolorectal tumor treatment.Keywords: Non-Thermal Plasma, Antitumor activity, Tolerance study
