Abstract Background This study aims to investigate a novel instrument OM-100 with low-frequency magnetic fields (LFMFs) for its potential applicability in the treatment of liver cancer. Methods Liver cancer cell lines (HepG2 and Huh7) and normal liver cell line THLE-2 were exposed to OM-100 at LFMFs of 0, 10, 25, 50, and 100 kHz for 2 h in the morning, noon, and evening, respectively. The effects of LFMF on cell viability, apoptosis, migration, and invasion capabilities were examined. Additionally, impacts of LFMF on ROS production was assessed. In vivo studies were conducted to examine the safety profile of OM-100 and its effects on tumor growth. Results In vitro, OM-100 reduced the viability of liver cancer cells, increased cell apoptosis, and inhibited cell migration and invasion abilities in a frequency-dependent manner (P |
