The anti-proliferative effect of CAP is dependent on the PAM. (A) Hep3B cells were seeded in 35 mm culture dishes and incubated for 18 h before various treatments. The cells were treated with CAP for 2.5 min or PAM, or exposed to CAP for 2.5 min followed by an immediate switch to fresh DMEM. Cell viability was measured by the MTT assay, and the relative viability was calculated as the ratio of the viability of treated cells to the viability of untreated cells at 72 h after the treatment. The results are presented as the mean ± SD of at least three independent experiments. ns, not significant. (B) The components generated by the CAP device were analyzed by OES.
