Antioxidant Effect of Hydrogen Nanobubble Contributes to Suppression of Tumor Cell Growth
Journal Title: Biomedical Journal of Scientific & Technical Research (BJSTR) - Year 2018, Vol 19, Issue 4
Abstract
The antitumor effect of hydrogen nanobubble was evaluated in vitro and in vivo. Cancer cell growth was inhibited in the hydrogen nanobubble-containing medium compared to the non-containing medium (in vitro). Tumor growth was significantly suppressed in the middle stage of transplantation (in vivo). We reported that hydrogen nanobubbles is a ROS scavenger, therefore apoptosis due to ROS reduction may be induced in these results. Hydrogen is known to have a strong antioxidant effect, derived by its high reducing property [1]. However, hydrogen is difficult to dissolve in water. Thus, an exclusive device is required to generate the hydrogen water [2,3]. To clear this problem, we investigated the stable supply of hydrogen by nanobubbes. In our previously report, hydrogen nanobubbles eliminated the superoxide as compared to other gases in cell-free systems [4]. In this study, we examined the effect of hydrogen nanobubbles on cancer growth in vitro and in vivo.
