Phenotypic Alterations in Cancer Cells Induced by Mechanochemical Disruption

acase@tulane.edu / Cancer’s response to mechanical vibration via high-intensity focused ultrasound and disruptive chemical agents (Mechanochemical Disruption) was examined in vitro and in vivo. We demonstrated that mechanochemical disruption of cellular structures induced phenotypic alterations in surviving tumor cells that prevented cancer progression. Mechanochemical disruption inhibited uncontrolled proliferation, tumorigenicity, metastatic development, and re-sensitized multiple cancer types to chemical treatment via alterations in protein expression and impediment of pro-survival signaling. Our study identified a novel curative therapeutic approach that can prevent the development of aggressive cancer phenotypes. / 1 / hakm murad
