Abstract
Clinical biophysical stimulating strategies, which have significant effects on improving the function of organs or treating diseases by causing the salutary response of body, have shown many advantages, such as non-invasiveness, few side effects, and controllable treatment process. As a critical technique for stimulation, the low intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) has been explored in regulating osteogenesis, which has presented great promise in bone repair by delivering a combined effect with biomaterials. This review summarizes the musculoskeletal biomaterials that can be synergized with LIPUS for enhanced biomedical application, including bone regeneration, spinal fusion, osteonecrosis/osteolysis, cartilage repair, and nerve regeneration. Different types of biomaterials are categorized for summary and evaluation. In each subtype, the verified biological mechanisms are listed in a table or graphs to prove how LIPUS was effective in improving musculoskeletal tissue regeneration. Meanwhile, the acoustic excitation parameters of LIPUS that were promising to be effective for further musculoskeletal tissue engineering are discussed, as well as their limitations and some perspectives for future research. Overall, coupled with biomimetic scaffolds and platforms, LIPUS may be a powerful therapeutic approach to accelerate musculoskeletal tissue repair and even in other regenerative medicine applications.

ULTRASOUND IN MEDICINE & BIOLOGY 2023; 49:1227-1237. [PMID: 36878833 DOI: 10.1016/j.ultrasmedbio.2023.01.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/09/2022] [Revised: 12/24/2022] [Accepted: 01/11/2023] [Indexed: 05/11/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The goal of the work described here was to determine if low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) has an anti-inflammatory effect on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammation in periodontal ligament cells (PDLCs). The mechanism underlying this effect remains to be explored and is likely related to PDLC apoptosis regulated by Yes-associated protein (YAP) and autophagy. METHODS To verify this hypothesis, we used a rat model of periodontitis and primary human PDLCs. We examined alveolar bone resorption in rats and apoptosis, autophagy and YAP activity in LPS-treated PDLCs with and without application of LIPUS by cellular immunofluorescence, transmission electron microscopy and Western blotting. Then, siRNA transfection was used to decrease YAP expression to confirm the regulatory role of YAP in the anti-apoptotic effect of LIPUS on PDLCs. DISCUSSION We found that LIPUS attenuated alveolar bone resorption in rats and this was accompanied by YAP activation. LIPUS inhibited hPDLC apoptosis by YAP activation, and promoted autophagic degradation to help autophagy completion. These effects were reversed after YAP expression was blocked. CONCLUSION LIPUS attenuates PDLC apoptosis by activating Yes-associated protein-regulated autophagy.

Effect of low-intensity pulsed ultrasound on osteogenic differentiation of human induced membrane-derived cells in Masquelet technique. Injury 2023:S0020-1383(23)00343-1. [PMID: 37062672 DOI: 10.1016/j.injury.2023.04.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/24/2023] [Revised: 03/02/2023] [Accepted: 04/08/2023] [Indexed: 04/18/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION The Masquelet technique is a relatively new method for large bone defect treatment. In this technique, grafted bone tissue is used, and after the cement is removed, the induced membrane (IM; that form around the cement spacers placed in the bone defect region) is thought to play an important role in promoting bone formation. On the other hand, low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) is known to promote fracture healing and angiogenesis through mechanical stimulation. This study aimed to investigate the in vitro effects of LIPUS on the osteogenic differentiation of human induced membrane-derived cells (IMCs). METHODS Seven patients who had been treated using the Masquelet technique were enrolled. The IM was harvested during the second stage of the technique. IMCs were isolated, cultured in growth medium, and then divided into two groups: (1) control group, IMCs cultured in osteogenic medium without LIPUS, and (2) LIPUS group, IMCs cultured in osteogenic medium with LIPUS treatment. Adherent cells from the IM samples were harvested after the first passage and evaluated for cell surface protein expression using immunostaining. A cell proliferation assay was used to count the number of IMCs using a hemocytometer. Osteogenic differentiation capability was assessed using an alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity assay, Alizarin Red S staining, and real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. RESULTS Cell surface antigen profiling revealed that the IMCs contained cells positive for the mesenchymal stem cell-related markers CD73, CD90, and CD105. No significant difference in cell numbers was found between the control and LIPUS groups. The ALP activity of IMCs in the LIPUS group was significantly higher than that in the control group on days 7 and 14. Alizarin red S staining intensity was significantly higher in the LIPUS group than in the control group on day 21. Runx2 and VEGF expression was significantly upregulated on days 7 and 14, respectively, compared with levels in the control group. CONCLUSION We demonstrated the significant effect of LIPUS on the osteogenic differentiation of human IMCs. This study indicates that LIPUS can be used as an additional tool for the enhancement of the healing process of the Masquelet technique.
