Data associated with the study called "Selectively targeting tumorigenicity in osteosarcoma". Each file corresponds to the raw data of one of the figures of the paper

The dataset contains four files. File S1 corresponds to cathodoluminescence and BSE images of standard minerals. File S2 contains geochemical data of mineral standards ans samples obtained by SIMS and EPMA. File S3 contains the parameters used to obtain response surface models of IMF in mineral standards. File S4 is a response surface methodology tutorial., Instrumental mass fractionation (IMF) of isotopic SIMS analyses (Cameca 1280HR, CRPG Nancy) was predicted by response surface methodology (RSM) for 18O/16O determinations of plagioclase, K-feldspar and quartz. The three predictive response surface models combined instrumental and compositional inputs. The instrumental parameters were: (i) X and Y position, (ii) LT1DefX and LT1DefY electrostatic deflectors, (iii) chamber pressure and, (iv) primary-ion beam intensity. The compositional inputs included: (i) anorthite content (An%) for the plagioclase model and, (ii) orthoclase (Or%) and barium (BaO%) contents for the K-feldspar model. The three models reached high predictive powers. The coefficients R2 and prediction-R2 were, respectively, 90.47% and 86.74% for plagioclase, 87.56% and 83.17% for K-feldspar and 94.29% and 91.59% for quartz. The results show that RSM can be confidently applied to IMF prediction in stable isotope SIMS analyses by the use of instrumental and compositional variables.

Analitical data of several minerals (quartz, K-feldspar, plagioclase, Monazite) of the albitized granites of the Variscan basement in Europe. The samples come from the Catalan Coastal Ranges, the Pyrenees, the Morvan massif and the Sudetes. Most of this data have been used in several papers and in the Cares Fàbrega PhD Thesis.

These data are associated to the paper with the same title of the authors, and are structured according to the figures in the paper: http://hdl.handle.net/2117/335727, The use of Cold Atmospheric Plasma (CAP) in oncology is being recently studied as a novel potential anti-cancer therapy. However, the beneficial effects of CAP for treating osteosarcoma have mostly been demonstrated in 2-dimensional cultures of cells, which do not mimic the complexity of the 3-dimensional (3D) bone microenvironment. In order to evaluate the effects of CAP in a relevant context of the human disease, we developed a 3D tissue-engineered model of osteosarcoma using a bone-like scaffold made of collagen type I and hydroxyapatite nanoparticles. Human osteosarcoma cells cultured within the scaffold showed a high capacity to infiltrate and proliferate and to exhibit osteomimicry in vitro. As expected, we observed significantly different functional behaviors between monolayer and 3D cultures when treated with Cold Plasma-Activated Ringer’s Solution (PAR). Our data reveal that the 3D environment not only protects cells from PAR-induced lethality by scavenging and diminishing the amount of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species generated by CAP, but also favours the stemness phenotype of osteosarcoma cells. This is the first study that demonstrates the negative effect of PAR on cancer stem-like cell subpopulations in a 3D biomimetic model of cancer. These findings will allow to suitably re-focus research on plasma-based therapies in future

This dataset is related to the protocol developed by the authors on the evaluation of the effects of cold atmospheric plasma and plasma-treated liquids in cancer cell cultures. More specifically, the data correspond to the anticipated results presented in the paper submitted to Nature Protocols, The present dataset corresponds to the anticipated results that can be obtained following the protocol described in the article. In particular, dataset corresponding to Figure 8 presents the absorbance values from the WST-1 cytotoxicity assay as a function of the well size where the experiment is performed. Data from Figure 9b show absorbance values from the WST-1 cytotoxicity assay as a function of the treatment time. Data from figure 9c-e show the absorbance or fluorescence values obtained in the experiments to quantify RONS, together with the values from the calibration curves. Data fromfigure 10 a provide the list and values of mRNA fold induction of the genes analyzed, and data from figure 10c show the pixel intensity obtained for the phospho-kinase antibody array.
