摘要
Background: Artemisinin selectively kills cancer cells which have more intracellular free iron than do normal cells. Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) may be beneficial in the treatment of cancer. The hypothesis of this study was that HBO2 enhances anticancer activity of artemisinin. Materials and Methods: After pretreatment with 12 mu M holotransferrin, Molt-4 human leukemia cells were cultured in 10 mu M artemisinin and exposed for 90 min to one of three different conditions: control, room air control, and HBO2. Cell growth was determined for 48 h after exposure. Results: Differences in growth were noted after 6 h of incubation. After 48 h of incubation, growth of cells treated with artemisinin alone or HBO2 alone was 85% of that of cells grown under artemisinin-free control conditions. Combined artemisinin and HBO2 treatment resulted in an additional 22% decrease in growth. Conclusion: Combined HBO2 and artemisinin exposure may be an effective anticancer chemotherapeutic strategy.
