Anticancer Effects of Plasma-Activated Medium Produced by a Microwave-Excited Atmospheric Pressure Argon Plasma Jet

Activation of JNK/p53/Bax signaling in A549 cells by PAM. The A549 cells were treated for 0.5 h by PAM produced at the 1.9 SLM and 7-watt conditions. The protein expression change of JNK, p53, and Bax in PAM-treated A549 cells was measured by western blot analysis (a). (b) PAM reduces cell viability and induces apoptosis in A549 cells through the JNK/p53/Bax and caspase signaling pathway.
