Abstract in Portuguese
Neste trabalho exploramos a possibilidade interferir no processo de reparação das neoplasias, expondo-as simultaneamente a campos elétricos estáticos (CEE) e quimioterápicos. Os resultados combinados do CEE com Etoposídeo induziram um aumento expressivo na mortalidade celular, reduzindo a IC50 do Etoposídeo de 0,49 mmol para 0,20 mmol na linhagem tumoral B16F10, e de 0,46 mmol para 0,15 mmol nas células de fibroblasto FN1. Quantificou-se um aumento médio de 15% na apoptose, via Caspase 3, dobrando-se os valores obtidos isoladamente ao Etoposídeo. A detecção da apoptose e necrose via Anexina V/PI revelou um aumento de 20 para 40% na mortalidade com o tratamento combinado. O tratamento combinado do campo elétrico com o quimioterápico Etoposídeo indica a ocorrência de uma interferência seletiva no mecanismo de reparo para danos do tipo DSB, neutralizando a sinalização de reparo.

Abstract in English
The possibility of therapeutic usage of electric fields as complementary intervention in cancer treatment, by means of simultaneous exposure of tumors to chemotherapy and static electric fields (SEF) is investigated and addressed in this work. The combined results of SEF with Etoposide induced a substantial increase of cell deaths, reducing Etoposide IC50 from 0.49 mmol to 0.20 mmol in the tumor strain B16F10, and from 0.46 mmol to 0.15 mmol in the fibroblast cells FN1. An apoptosis average increase of 15%, via Caspase 3, the sole application of Etoposide, in these same times, doubled the apoptosis. Detection of apoptosis and necrosis via Annexine V/PI exhibited cell death increase from 20% to 40% when combined with electric field exposure. The combined treatment of electric field with the chemotherapyc Etoposide indicates the existence of a selective interference in the repairing mechanism for DSB damages, neutralizing in this way the repair signaling.
