Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In order to develop a highly efficient and minimally invasive drug delivery method, the applications of plasmas generated in liquid to control of biological response have been proposed. In the beginning, it has been experimentally verified that micro-scale plasma was generated by applying a pulse voltage to coaxial type thin electrode and had the capability to enhance the cellular uptake of drugs and genes. Next, investigation of effects of separated plasma-derived stimuli on drug uptake showed that plasma-produced short-lived reactive species contribute to the drug uptake. Furthermore, it is clarified that relatively short-lived reactive species (i.e., deactivated within approximately 10 min) in plasma-irradiated saline induced physiologically relevant calcium ion influx through ion channel on cell membrane, which triggers activation of gene and drug uptake.
