Fig. 3. TTFields induces cell death, permeability and immune modulation.

Fig. 3

The classical effect of TTFields is mitosis inhibitions and formation of apocyte. A TTFields induces various mode of tumor cell death, including apoptosis, autophagy, pyroptosis, immunogenic death, necrosis, necroptosis, and cell cycle arrest. Meanwhile, TTFields affects the integrity of membrane and the blood-brain barrier, increasing permeability of tumor cell. B TTFields induces activation of dendritic cell, RAW264.7. In addition, TTFields leads to T cell infiltration and CD45 + leukocyte enrichment. Meanwhile, T1IRG-expressing monocyte, NK cell and immune checkpoints are elevated after TTFields treatment.
