Abstract
In recently years, malignant neoplasm (cancer) occupies the extremely high percentage of cause of death, there are disadvantages to current cancer therapy. It has been confirmed nanosecond pulsed electric fields (nsPEFs) application induced apoptosis on cancer cells; many studies applying it to a cancer therapy have been started. We applied nsPEFs to mouse melanoma cells: B16-F10 in a cuvette. In addition, we combine nsPEFs application and anticancer drug (Adriamycin) administration, and cancer surviving fraction was measured by Crystal Violet Assay. The nsPEFs application or anticancer drug (Adriamycin) administration significantly decreased the cell surviving fraction. The cell survival fraction by combinational treatment of nsPEFs application and Adriamycin administration was significantly smaller than the unilateral treatment. Apoptosis ratio was higher in the combinational treatment. NsPEFs application might make nanoscale holes in the cell membrane, and the anticancer drug could work more effective.
