Sumario: | Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a chronic disorder that affects quality of life in women. Several POP treatments may be accompanied by abrasion, constant infection, and severe pain. Therefore, new treatment methods and improvements in current treatments for POP are required. Non-thermal atmospheric-pressure plasma is a rising biomedical therapy that generates a mixed cocktail of reactive species by different mechanisms. In this study, we applied a cylinder-type dielectric barrier discharge plasma device to create a plasma-treated liquid (PTL). The PTL was added to primary cultured human uterosacral ligament fibroblast (hUSLF) cells from POP patients at each stage. Surprisingly, treatment with diluted PTL increased hUSLF cell viability but decreased ovarian cancer cell viability. PTL also decreased cell apoptosis in hUSLF cells but increased it in SKOV3 cells. Our results suggest that PTL protects hUSLF cells from cell apoptosis by controlling the p53 pathway and improves cell viability, implying that PTL is a promising application for POP therapy. |
