Abstract

Abstract: Purpose: In this study, the effects of different intensities of Static Magnetic Fields (SMFs) (10, 15 and 25 mT) and different concentrations of cisplatin drug were investigated on the viability percent and IC50 of the A2780 and A2780-CP cell lines at 24, 48 and 96 h to show useful potential of SMF as a physical agent to enhance the effectiveness of common therapeutic approaches and decrease of drug resistance to cisplatin anticancer drug. Materials and methods: Magnetic field exposure was performed using a locally designed generator. The cell viability percent, IC50 and cisplatin uptake in treated cells were evaluated by MTT assay and inductively coupled plasma (ICP), respectively. Results: Increasing of concentration and time of cisplatin drug showed a noticeable decrease in viability percent in sensitive and resistant cell lines compared with control group. These decreases were more significant in resistant cells compared with sensitive cells. The obtained IC50 values for resistant were greater than the values obtained for A2780 cells. ICP analysis demonstrated an increased uptake of cisplatin after treatment for 48 and 96 h relative to untreated groups in both resistant and sensitive cells. Conclusion: Results showed that A2780 cells were more sensitive to cisplatin than A2780-CP. Studies have shown that SMF can increase the effect of cisplatin on cell viability percent and decrease the resistance of A2780-CP cells by producing large, verruca shaped structures at the surface of the cell membrane.
