The emerging fields of non-thermal plasma (NTP) and low power lasers have shown considerable promise in various biomedical applications, including cancer therapy. However, understanding the molecular mechanisms procuring cellular responses remains incomplete. Indeed, the key to successful clinical transfer of any technology is a deep understanding of molecular mechanisms at the cell level. Here, we would like to focus on potential mechanisms of action of NTPs and lasers, and challenges related to their identification. Firstly, we deciphered the molecular mechanisms of NTP-triggered cancer cell death. High levels of Bcl-2 protein expression resulted in cancer cell resistance to oxidative stress mediated by plasma. We disclosed detailed mechanisms of NTP-mediated alteration of redox signaling in liver cancer cells.
