A particularly promising medical application of cold physical plasma is the support of wound healing. This is presumably achieved by modulating inflammation as well as skin cell signaling and migration. Plasma-derived reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (ROS/RNS) are assumed the central biologically active plasma components. We hypothesized that modulating the environmental plasma conditions from pure nitrogen (N-2) to pure oxygen (O-2) in an atmospheric pressure argon plasma jet (kINPen) will change type and concentration of ROS/RNS and effectively tune the behavior of human skin cells. To investigate this, HaCaT keratinocytes were studied in vitro with regard to cell metabolism, viability, growth, gene expression signature, and cytokine secretion. Flow cytometry demonstrated only slight effects on cytotoxicity. O-2 shielding provided stronger apoptotic effects trough caspase-3 activation compared to N-2 shielding. Gene array technology revealed induction of signaling and communication proteins such as immunomodulatory interleukin 6 as well as antioxidative and proproliferative molecules (HMOX1, VEGFA, HBEGF, CSF2, and MAPK) in response to different plasma shielding gas compositions. Cell response was correlated to reactive species: oxygen-shielding plasma induces a cell response more efficiently despite an apparent decrease of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), which was previously shown to be a major player in plasma-cell regulation, emphasizing the role of non-H2O2 ROS like singlet oxygen. Our results suggest differential effects of ROS- and RNS-rich plasma, and may have a role in optimizing clinical plasma applications in chronic wounds..
