Exploration of the Pressurization Condition for Killing Human Skin Cells and Skin Tumor Cells by High Hydrostatic Pressure

High hydrostatic pressure (HHP) is a physical method for inactivating cells or tissues without using chemicals such as detergents. We previously reported that HHP at 200 MPa for 10 min was able to inactivate all cells in skin and giant congenital melanocytic nevus (GCMN) without damaging the extrace...

Sumario:High hydrostatic pressure (HHP) is a physical method for inactivating cells or tissues without using chemicals such as detergents. We previously reported that HHP at 200 MPa for 10 min was able to inactivate all cells in skin and giant congenital melanocytic nevus (GCMN) without damaging the extracellular matrix. We also reported that HHP at 150 MPa for 10 min was not sufficient to inactivate them completely, while HHP at 200 MPa for 10 min was able to inactivate them completely. We intend to apply HHP to treat malignant skin tumor as the next step; however, the conditions necessary to kill each kind of cell have not been explored. In this work, we have performed a detailed experimental study on the critical pressure and pressurization time using five kinds of human skin cells and skin tumor cells, including keratinocytes (HEKas), dermal fibroblasts (HDFas), adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ASCs), epidermal melanocytes (HEMa-LPs), and malignant melanoma cells (MMs), using pressures between 150 and 200 MPa. We pressurized cells at 150, 160, 170, 180, or 190 MPa for 1 s, 2 min, and 10 min and evaluated the cellular activity using live/dead staining and proliferation assays. The proliferation assay revealed that HEKas were inactivated at a pressure higher than 150 MPa and a time period longer than 2 min, HDFas and MMs were inactivated at a pressure higher than 160 MPa and for 10 min, and ASCs and HEMa-LPs were inactivated at a pressure higher than 150 MPa and for 10 min. However, some HEMa-LPs were observed alive after HHP at 170 MPa for 10 min, so we concluded that HHP at a pressure higher than 180 MPa for 10 min was able to inactivate five kinds of cells completely.
