The effects of high-energy shock waves (HESW) on a murine renal cell carcinoma (RenCa) was investigated. In vitro exposure of tumor cells to HESW resulted in a dose-dependent reduction in cell viability as determined by trypan blue dye exclusion, plating efficiency, growth curve, and soft agar clonogenic assays. Activity of lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) was detected in the supernatant after the HESW treatment due to cellular destruction, and a dose-dependent increase in cytocidal effect was demonstrated. Ultrastructural changes with swelling and distorted cristae of mitochondria, vacuolation, ribosomal lysis, and chromatinolysis were observed in HESW-treated RenCa cells. Flow cytometric (FCM) study revealed that DNA content of RenCa cells diminished after 200 HESW treatment, and RNA content of tumor cells decreased markedly after 400 HESW treatments. Partial or complete inhibition of tumor growth was shown in both animal modalities of subcutaneous inoculation and intravenous injection with sequential lung metastases. This study stressed again that HESW may play a role in combinational protocol for the treatment of human renal cell carcinoma in certain circumstances.
