Effect of hyperthermia on liver cell lines: important findings for thermal therapy in hepatocellular carcinoma.
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Hepatocellular carcinoma is the fifth most common malignant tumour, with a high mortality rate. This study aimed to investigate the effect of hyperthermia on HepG2 and LX-1 cell lines to gain more information on thermal treatment of liver tumours.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The cell lines HepG2, LX-1 and their co-cultures were heated from 55°C to 85°C for different time spans. After heat exposure, metabolic activity was measured …
