Outline of Final Research Achievements

We investigated the cell migration of wounded, cultured human cells treated with hydrogen water (HW), which exhibits antioxidant properties. First, HW and platinum nanocolloid (Pt-nc) were administered to the wound scratched dermal fibroblasts. Filopodia began to emerge after 48 hours in the HW group. It is possible that HW + Pt-nc regulates the Bax/Bcl-2 ratio. Secondly, hydrogen-occluding silica microparticles (H2-silica) were administered at low concentrations to normal human esophageal epithelial cells (HEEpiCs) that were wound scratched. The results verified that microvilli formation and cell migration are associated with apoptosis induction. It was further confirmed that H2-silica inhibits the cell migration of human esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, and H2-silica at high concentrations exerts a toxic effect on HEEpiCs.
