RESUMO

In the context of multimodal treatments for abdominal cancer, including procedures such as cytoreductive surgery and intraperitoneal chemotherapy, recurrence rates remain high, and long-term survival benefits are uncertain due to post-operative complications. Notably, treatment-limiting side effects often arise from an uncontrolled activation of the immune system, particularly peritoneally localized macrophages, leading to massive cytokine secretion and phenotype changes. Exploring alternatives, an increasing number of studies investigated the potential of plasma-activated liquids (PAL) for adjuvant peritoneal cancer treatment, aiming to mitigate side effects, preserve healthy tissue, and reduce cytotoxicity towards non-cancer cells. To assess the non-toxicity of PAL, we isolated primary human macrophages from the peritoneum and subjected them to PAL exposure. Employing an extensive methodological spectrum, including flow cytometry, Raman microspectroscopy, and DigiWest protein analysis, we observed a pronounced resistance of macrophages towards PAL. This resistance was characterized by an upregulation of proliferation and anti-oxidative pathways, countering PAL-derived oxidative stress-induced cell death. The observed cellular effects of PAL treatment on human tissue-resident peritoneal macrophages unveil a potential avenue for PAL-derived immunomodulatory effects within the human peritoneal cavity. Our findings contribute to understanding the intricate interplay between PAL and macrophages, shedding light on the promising prospects for PAL in the adjuvant treatment of peritoneal cancer.

RESUMO

Postoperative abdominal adhesions are responsible for serious clinical disorders. Administration of plasma-activated media (PAM) to cell type-specific modulated proliferation and protein biosynthesis is a promising therapeutic strategy to prevent pathological cell responses in the context of wound healing disorders. We analyzed PAM as a therapeutic option based on cell type-specific anti-adhesive responses. Primary human peritoneal fibroblasts and mesothelial cells were isolated, characterized and exposed to different PAM dosages. Cell type-specific PAM effects on different cell components were identified by contact- and marker-independent Raman imaging, followed by thorough validation by specific molecular biological methods. The investigation revealed cell type-specific molecular responses after PAM treatment, including significant cell growth retardation in peritoneal fibroblasts due to transient DNA damage, cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. We identified a therapeutic dose window wherein specifically pro-adhesive peritoneal fibroblasts were targeted, whereas peritoneal mesothelial cells retained their anti-adhesive potential of epithelial wound closure. Finally, we demonstrate that PAM treatment of peritoneal fibroblasts reduced the expression and secretion of pro-adhesive cytokines and extracellular matrix proteins. Altogether, we provide insights into biochemical PAM mechanisms which lead to cell type-specific pro-therapeutic cell responses. This may open the door for the prevention of pro-adhesive clinical disorders.
