Pulsed electric fields applied to cells have been used as an invaluable research
tool to enhance delivery of genes or other intracellular cargo, as well as for
tumor treatment via electrochemotherapy or tissue ablation. These processes
involve the buildup of charge across the cell membrane, with subsequent
alteration of transmembrane potential that is a function of cell biophysics and
geometry. For traditional electroporation parameters, larger cells experience a
greater degree of membrane potential alteration. However, we have recently
demonstrated that the nuclear/cytoplasm ratio (NCR), rather than cell size, is a
key predictor of response for cells treated with high-frequency irreversible
electroporation (IRE). In this study, we leverage a targeted molecular therapy,
ephrinA1, known to markedly collapse the cytoplasm of cells expressing the EphA2
receptor, to investigate how biophysical cellular changes resulting from NCR
manipulation affect the response to IRE at varying frequencies. We present
evidence that the increase in the NCR mitigates the cell death response to
conventional electroporation pulsed-electric fields (?100 ?s), consistent with
the previously noted size dependence. However, this same molecular treatment
enhanced the cell death response to high-frequency electric fields (?1 ?s). This
finding demonstrates the importance of considering cellular biophysics and
frequency-dependent effects in developing electroporation protocols, and our
approach provides, to our knowledge, a novel and direct experimental methodology
to quantify the relationship between cell morphology, pulse frequency, and
electroporation response. Finally, this novel, to our knowledge, combinatorial
approach may provide a paradigm to enhance in vivo tumor ablation through a
molecular manipulation of cellular morphology before IRE application.
