Magnetic hyperthermia (MHT) is an oncological therapy that uses magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) to generate localized heat under a low-frequency alternating magnetic field (AMF). Recently, trapezoidal pulsed alternating magnetic fields (TPAMFs) have proven their efficacy in enhancing the efficiency of heating in MHT as compared to the sinusoidal one. Our study aims to compare the TPAMF waveform's killing effect against the sinusoidal waveform in B16F10 and CT2A cell lines to determine more efficient waveforms in causing cell death. For that purpose, we used MNPs and different AMF waveforms: trapezoidal (TP), almost-square (TS), triangular (TR), and sinusoidal signal (SN). MNPs at 1 and 4 mg/mL did not affect cell viability during treatment. The exposition of B16F10 and CT2A cells to only AMF showed nonsignificant mortality. Hence, the synergetic effect of the AMF and MNPs causes the observed cell death. Among the explored cases, the nonharmonic signals demonstrated better efficacy than the SN one as an MHT treatment. This study has revealed that the application of TP, TS, or TR waveforms is more efficient and has considerable capability to increase cancer cell death compared to the traditional sinusoidal treatment. Overall, we can conclude that the application of nonharmonic signals enhances MHT treatment efficiency against tumor cells.
磁热疗(MHT)是一种利用磁性纳米粒子(MNPs)在低频交变磁场(AMF)下产生局部热的肿瘤治疗方法。最近,梯形脉冲交变磁场(TPAMFs)已被证明在提高 MHT 加热效率方面优于正弦波。我们的研究旨在比较 TPAMF 波形与正弦波在 B16F10 和 CT2A 细胞系中的杀伤效果,以确定更有效的波形来引起细胞死亡。为此,我们使用了 MNPs 和不同的 AMF 波形:梯形(TP)、近乎方形(TS)、三角形(TR)和正弦信号(SN)。在治疗过程中,1 和 4 mg/mL 的 MNPs 不影响细胞活力。仅 AMF 暴露于 B16F10 和 CT2A 细胞不会导致明显的死亡率。因此,AMF 和 MNPs 的协同作用导致了观察到的细胞死亡。在研究的案例中,非谐波信号比 SN 信号作为 MHT 治疗更有效。这项研究表明,与传统的正弦波治疗相比,TP、TS 或 TR 波形的应用更有效,并且具有显著提高癌细胞死亡的能力。总的来说,我们可以得出结论,非谐波信号的应用增强了 MHT 治疗肿瘤细胞的效率。
