摘要: Nanosecond, megavolt-per-meter electric pulses cause permeabilization of cells to small molecules, programmed cell death (apoptosis) in tumor cells, and are under evaluation as a treatment for skin cancer. We use nanoelectroporation fluorescence imaging construct two-dimensional maps the field associated with delivery 15 ns, 10 kV monolayers human prostate cancer line PC3 from three different electrode configurations: single-needle, five-needle, flat-cut coaxial cable. Influx normally impermeant fluorescent dye YO-PRO-1 serves sensitive indicator membrane permeabilization. The level emission after pulse exposure is proportional applied strength. Spatial distributions were compared plane normal center axis 15-20 μm tip electrode. Measurement results agree well models arrangements evaluated this study. This live-cell method measuring nanosecond pulsed distribution provides an operationally meaningful calibration designs biological applications permits visualization relative sensitivities types nanoelectropulse stimulation.
