Effects of PAM on osteosarcoma and healthy cells. (A) Effects of PAM +/− Pyr (1, 3 and 5 L/min helium flow at 10 mm gap) on cell viability were detected by WST-1 assay on hBM-MSCs and SaOS-2, measured 24 h after exposure. Cell viability is expressed relative to the corresponding untreated control and is the mean and standard deviation of three independent experiments (*p < 0.05; **p < 0.005; two-sided Student’s t-test) (B) Effect of PAM +/− Pyr at different helium flows (1, 3 and 5 L/min) and 10 mm gap on the proliferation ability of hBM-MSCs healthy cells (left panel) and SaOS-2 cancer cells (right panel). We analyzed the Normalized Cell Index relative to treatment time (t = 0 h) up to final step (t = 70 h). Data are shown as the mean. Error bars represent the SD, and asterisks indicate statistically significant differences between the indicated series (*p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; two-sided Student’s t-test). Readings were done in duplicates.
