Abstract

Low intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) could up-regulate Nucleostemin gene in rapidly proliferative and self renewal cells, was hypothesized. The bone marrow cells (BMSC) were isolated from tibiae and femora of 3 month old male Sprague-Dawley rats and the bone marrow was flushed with basic media using 10-ml syringe from both sides. Cells were seeded in in 75 mm flasks and were expanded in culture medium that contained 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS), 1% streptomycin, and ascorbic acid. LIPUS was applied for 20 minutes per day to the base of the cell culture flasks using a 2.5 cm2 transducer that delivers 1.5 MHz with a duty cycle of a quarter. Samples were amplified for 22-30 cycles in an Eppendrof Master-cycle thermal cycler, and PCR reactions were electrophoresed on 2% agarose gels. The results show that LIPUS has increased Nucleostemin expression in both types of stem cells.
