Proliferation inhibition and apoptosis induction of cultured vascular smooth muscle cells after ultrasound exposure
Objective:To observe the effects of ultrasound exposure(USE) on proliferation and apotosis of vuscalur smooth muscle cells(VSMCs) and to screen out the optimum parameters of USE and(to)discuss its mechanism.Methods:Ultrasound device was made of mono-source of piezoelectric ceramics.Guided by the result of Trypan Blue cell count
the optimum exposure dosage was determined by MTT cell growth curve in 5 days.BrdU incorporation was used to show changes of S phase DNA synthesis after USE.Apoptosis was detected using ELISA 4 hours later after USE.Results:USE had direct cytotoxic effect on cultured VSMCs. The effect was intensified as the duration or intensity increased.At the same duration and intensity level
the effect was stronger in lower frequency group.Growth curves in 5 days were flattened in USE groups especially in 0.705MHz
0.5w/cm~2
5min exposure.BrdU% results indicated that with 0.705MHz
0.5W/cm~2
5min USE
BrdU% against control was 40.5±6.8% vs 55.8±3.3%
P<0.05.Cell Death Detection ELISA assay showed apoptosis enrichment factor in 0.705MHz
0.5W/cm~2
5min group comparing with positive control was 1.851±0.087 vs 1.924±0.074
P=0.836.Conclusion:After 0.705MHz
0.5W/cm~2
5min USE
VSMCs apoptosis was induced and S phase DNA synthesis decreased without obvious immediate cell death
which suggests USE had the potential as an anti-restenosis therapy.
