Abstract
Ultrasonic deep-plane neck lift is a new approach for addressing both the subsuperficial musculoaponeurotic system and subplatysmal soft tissues during facial rejuvenation procedures. This innovative surgical approach utilizes 2.2, 2.9, and 3.7 stainless steel probes that are powered by high-frequency ultrasound. Using high-frequency ultrasound in the subcutaneous spaces has been accomplished for the past 20 years with a very suitable safety profile. In this technique, emulsification of the fat layer in both the superficial and deep planes is accomplished with tumescence of the soft tissues in the same fashion as subcutaneous liposuction. In ultrasonic deep-plane neck lift, the superficial and deep layers of fat are targeted for emulsification, and this creates a loosening of these spaces for lifting and repositioning. The procedure facilitates more accurate surgery, because the tissue effects include hemostasis and scalpel- and scissor-free undermining due to the emulsification of the fat layers of the face and neck. The other advantages of ultrasound-assisted facial contouring and rejuvenation include treatment of hard-to-treat areas like the perioral region and distal neck, which can be rapidly and safely undermined utilizing this technology. The third component of ultrasound- and energy-based facial rejuvenation surgery is the long-term remodeling and tightening that occurs beginning approximately 8 weeks after the procedure. When many conventional facelifts are beginning to fall at 3 to 4 months postoperatively, the energy-based facelifts are still tightening and this remodeling continues for up to a year after the procedure. Combining technology with conventional facelift procedures is a new approach to facial rejuvenation and is the result of 15 years of research and cooperation with the aesthetic device industry. The result of this merger of technology with conventional surgery is TESLA Facelifting, the facelift of the future.

Abstract
The conjugation of photosensitizer with collagen seems to be a very promising approach for innovative topical photodynamic therapy (PDT). The study aims to evaluate the effects of bovine collagen hydrolysate (Clg) on the properties of gallium (III) phthalocyanine (GaPc) on pigmented melanoma. The interaction of GaPc with Clg to form a conjugate (GaPc-Clg) showed a reduction of the intensive absorption Q-band (681 nm) with a blue shift of the maximum (678 nm) and a loss of shape of the UV-band (354 nm). The fluorescence of GaPc, with a strong emission peak at 694 nm was blue shifted due to the conjugation which lower intensity owing to reduce quantum yield (0.012 vs. 0.23, GaPc). The photo- and dark cytotoxicity of GaPc, Glg and GaPc-Clg on pigmented melanoma cells (SH-4) and two normal cell lines (BJ and HaCaT) showed a slight decrease of cytotoxicity for a conjugate, with low selectivity index (0.71 vs. 1.49 for GaPc). The present study suggests that the ability of collagen hydrolysate to form gels minimizes the high dark toxicity of GaPc. Collagen used for conjugation of a photosensitizer might be an essential step in advanced topical PDT.

Abstract
The dense cancer microenvironment is a significant barrier that limits the penetration of anticancer agents, thereby restraining the efficacy of molecular and nanoscale cancer therapeutics. Developing new strategies to enhance the permeability of cancer tissues is of major interest to overcome treatment resistance. Nonetheless, early strategies based on small molecule inhibitors or matrix-degrading enzymes have led to disappointing clinical outcomes by causing increased chemotherapy toxicity and promoting disease progression. In recent years, photodynamic therapy (PDT) has emerged as a novel approach to increase the permeability of cancer tissues. By producing excessive amounts of reactive oxygen species selectively in the cancer microenvironment, PDT increases the accumulation, penetration depth, and efficacy of chemotherapeutics. Importantly, the increased cancer permeability has not been associated to increased metastasis formation. In this review, we provide novel insights into the mechanisms by which this effect, called photodynamic priming, can increase cancer permeability without promoting cell migration and dissemination. This review demonstrates that PDT oxidizes and degrades extracellular matrix proteins, reduces the capacity of cancer cells to adhere to the altered matrix, and interferes with mechanotransduction pathways that promote cancer cell migration and differentiation. Significant knowledge gaps are identified regarding the involvement of critical signaling pathways, and to which extent these events are influenced by the complicated PDT dosimetry. Addressing these knowledge gaps will be vital to further develop PDT as an adjuvant approach to improve cancer permeability, demonstrate the safety and efficacy of this priming approach, and render more cancer patients eligible to receive life-extending treatments.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE This paper presents the development of a 3D physics-based numerical model of skin capable of representing the laser-skin photo-thermal interactions occurring in skin photorejuvenation treatment procedures. The aim of this model was to provide a rational and quantitative basis to control and predict temperature distribution within the layered structure of skin. Ultimately, this mathematical and numerical modelling platform will guide the design of an automatic robotic controller to precisely regulate skin temperature at desired depths and for specific durations. METHODS The Pennes bioheat equation was used to account for heat transfer in a 3D multi-layer model of skin. The effects of blood perfusion, skin pigmentation and various convection conditions are also incorporated in the proposed model. The photo-thermal effect due to pulsed laser light on skin is computed using light diffusion theory. The physics-based constitutive model was numerically implemented using a combination of finite volume and finite difference techniques. Direct sensitivity routines were also implemented to assess the influence of constitutive parameters on temperature. A stability analysis of the numerical model was conducted. RESULTS Finally, the numerical model was exploited to assess its ability to predict temperature distribution and thermal damage via a multi-parametric study which accounted for a wide array of biophysical parameters such as light coefficients of absorption for individual skin layers and melanin levels (correlated with ethnicity). It was shown how critical is the link between melanin content, laser light characteristics and potential thermal damage to skin. CONCLUSIONS The developed photo-thermal model of skin-laser interactions paves the way for the design of an automated simulation-driven photorejuvenation robot, thus alleviating the need for inconsistent and error-prone human operators.

Abstract
Using abundance measurements of 1,490 proteins from four separate populations of three-spined sticklebacks, we implemented a system-level approach to correlate proteome dynamics with environmental salinity and temperature and the fish's population and morphotype. We identified robust and accurate fingerprints that classify environmental salinity, temperature, morphotype, and the population sample origin, observing that proteins with specific functions are enriched in these fingerprints. Highly apparent functions represented in all fingerprints include ion transport, proteostasis, growth, and immunity, suggesting that these functions are most diversified in populations inhabiting different environments. Applying a differential network approach, we analyzed the network of protein interactions that differs between populations. Looking at specific population combinations of differential interaction, we identify sets of connected proteins. We find that these sets and their corresponding enriched functions reflect key processes that have diverged between the four populations. Moreover, the extent of divergence, i.e., the number of enriched functions that differ between populations, is highest when all three environmental parameters are different between two populations. Key nodes in the differential interaction network signify functions that are also inherent in the fingerprints, most prominently proteostasis-related functions. However, the differential interaction network also reveals additional functions that have diverged between populations, notably cytoskeletal organization and morphogenesis. The strength of these analyses is that the results are purely data driven. With such an unbiased approach applied on a large proteomic data set, we find the strongest signals given by the data, making it possible to develop more discriminatory and complex biomarkers for specific contexts of interest.

Abstract
Energy-based facelifting techniques are a relatively new genre of surgery. In this approach, the energy-based device-whether laser, radiofrequency plasma, or ultrasound-can be used in the superficial plane to elevate skin flaps before performing more traditional facelift techniques involving the superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) or platysma. The initial reports of utilizing fiber lasers as surgical tools date back to approximately 2007 and initial lipolasers were used to elevate facial skin flaps. The other energy-based devices were also tested. The author has probably the largest series of energy-based facial rejuvenation procedures, having performed over 3,000 of these procedures. The advantages of laser-assisted rhytidectomy include hemostasis, facilitated dissection in areas hard to elevate conventionally such as nasolabial folds or distal neck and the remodeling and tightening of tissue that results from the activation of the wound healing cascade of neocollagenesis and wound contraction. The author currently has a preference for energy device used during rhytidectomy and it is a high frequency ultrasound energy delivered by a five-ring 2.9- and 3.7-mm probe. The use of the ultrasound dissector in both superficial and deep procedures is highlighted in this article with emphasis on its use for deep cervicoplasty and subplatysmal procedures as well as sub-SMAS elevations of the facial deep plane.

Abstract
The age of cancer as an isolated single-cell concept is now behind us. It is now established that epithelial ovarian cancer, like other cancers, interacts with the healthy bystander cells to influence them and takes advantage of their nutritional, immunological, disseminating and other capacities. This interaction has become a therapeutic target, as shown by the numerous studies on this subject. Intraperitoneal chemo-hyperthermia has been part of the therapeutic armamentarium for some time yet its efficiency in ovarian cancer has only been recently proven in a randomized controlled trial. However, its therapeutic performance is not revolutionary and epithelial ovarian cancer maintains a high mortality. In this review, we studied the impact of HIPEC on the microenvironment and vice versa to determine whether it could be the key to this lukewarm efficacy. We began by exploring the modalities of HIPEC and establishing the reasons that make this treatment topical. Then, we examined its impact on each element of the tumor environment to obtain a global view of the resistance mechanisms at work in HIPEC.

Abstract
The use of energy-based devices as surgical tools during rhytidectomy was introduced in early 2007 to 2008 and occurred when the first fiber laser was approved for laser lipolysis. It became evident that the fiber laser-assisted rhytidectomy could offer several advantages compared with conventional rhytidectomy. The use of energy devices now includes temperature-controlled radiofrequency and helium plasma devices. Energy devices continue to offer advantages compared with knife and scissor approaches: improved hemostasis; an ability to dissect into areas without full flap elevation; and the shrink-wrap late effects of collagen remodeling after energy-based treatment, which improves the results of rhytidectomy.

Abstract
Ovarian cancer (OvCa) is the leading cause of gynecological cancer-related deaths in the United States, with five-year survival rates of 15-20% for stage III cancers and 5% for stage IV cancers. The standard of care for advanced OvCa involves surgical debulking of disseminated disease in the peritoneum followed by chemotherapy. Despite advances in treatment efficacy, the prognosis for advanced stage OvCa patients remains poor and the emergence of chemoresistant disease localized to the peritoneum is the primary cause of death. Therefore, a complementary modality that is agnostic to typical chemo- and radio-resistance mechanisms is urgently needed. Photodynamic therapy (PDT), a photochemistry-based process, is an ideal complement to standard treatments for residual disease. The confinement of the disease in the peritoneal cavity makes it amenable for regionally localized treatment with PDT. PDT involves photochemical generation of cytotoxic reactive molecular species (RMS) by non-toxic photosensitizers (PSs) following exposure to non-harmful visible light, leading to localized cell death. However, due to the complex topology of sensitive organs in the peritoneum, diffuse intra-abdominal PDT induces dose-limiting toxicities due to non-selective accumulation of PSs in both healthy and diseased tissue. In an effort to achieve selective damage to tumorous nodules, targeted PS formulations have shown promise to make PDT a feasible treatment modality in this setting. This targeted strategy involves chemical conjugation of PSs to antibodies, referred to as photoimmunoconjugates (PICs), to target OvCa specific molecular markers leading to enhanced therapeutic outcomes while reducing off-target toxicity. In light of promising results of pilot clinical studies and recent preclinical advances, this review provides the rationale and methodologies for PIC-based PDT, or photo-immunotherapy (PIT), in the context of OvCa management.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is prevalent in adult women, attributed to weakened endopelvic supporting tissues, and typically treated using drugs and invasive surgical procedures. The objective of this in silico study is to explore transurethral high-intensity ultrasound for delivery of precise thermal therapy to the endopelvic tissues adjacent to the mid-urethra, to induce thermal remodeling as a potential minimally invasive treatment alternative. METHODS 3D acoustic (Rayleigh-Sommerfeld) and biothermal (Pennes bioheat) models of the ultrasound applicator and surrounding tissues were devised. Parametric studies over transducer configuration [frequency, radius-of-curvature (ROC)] and treatment settings (power, duration) were performed, and select cases on patient-specific models were used for further evaluation. Transient temperature and thermal dose distributions were calculated, and temperature and dose metrics reported. RESULTS Configurations using a 5-MHz curvilinear transducer (3.5 × 10 mm, 28 mm ROC) with single 90 s sonication can create heated zones with 11 mm penetration (>50 °C) while sparing the inner 1.8 mm (<45 °C) radial depth of the urethral mucosa. Sequential and discrete applicator rotations can sweep out bilateral coagulation volumes (1.4 W power, 15° rotations, 600 s total time), produce large volumetric (1124 mm³ above 60 EM43 °C) and wide angular (∼50.5° per lateral sweep) coverage, with up to 15.6 mm thermal penetration and at least 1.6 mm radial urethral protection (<5 EM43 °C). CONCLUSION Transurethral applicators with curvilinear ultrasound transducers can deliver spatially selective temperature elevations to lateral mid-urethral targets as a possible means to tighten the endopelvic fascia and adjacent tissues.

Abstract
Phototherapy is a non-invasive or minimally invasive therapeutic strategy. Immunotherapy uses different immunological approaches, such as antibodies, vaccines, immunoadjuvants, and cytokines to stimulate the host immune system to fight against diseases. In cancer treatment, phototherapy not only destroys tumor cells, but also induces immunogenic tumor cell death to initiate a systemic anti-tumor immune response. When combined with immunotherapy, the effectiveness of phototherapy can be enhanced. Because of their special physical, chemical, and sometimes immunological properties, nanomaterials have also been used to enhance phototherapy. In this article, we review the recent progress in nanotechnology-based phototherapy, including nano-photothermal therapy, nano-photochemical therapy, and nano-photoimmunological therapy in cancer treatment. Specifically, we focus on the immunological responses induced by nano-phototherapies.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has emerged as a promising alternative to conventional cancer therapies such as surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy. PDT comprises the administration of a photosensitizer, its accumulation in tumor tissue, and subsequent irradiation of the photosensitizer-loaded tumor, leading to the localized photoproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS). The resulting oxidative damage ultimately culminates in tumor cell death, vascular shutdown, induction of an antitumor immune response, and the consequent destruction of the tumor. However, the ROS produced by PDT also triggers a stress response that, as part of a cell survival mechanism, helps cancer cells to cope with the PDT-induced oxidative stress and cell damage. These survival pathways are mediated by the transcription factors activator protein 1 (AP-1), nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (NRF2), hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1), nuclear factor κB (NF-κB), and those that mediate the proteotoxic stress response. The survival pathways are believed to render some types of cancer recalcitrant to PDT and alter the tumor microenvironment in favor of tumor survival. In this review, the molecular mechanisms are elucidated that occur post-PDT to mediate cancer cell survival, on the basis of which pharmacological interventions are proposed. Specifically, pharmaceutical inhibitors of the molecular regulators of each survival pathway are addressed. The ultimate aim is to facilitate the development of adjuvant intervention strategies to improve PDT efficacy in recalcitrant solid tumors.

Abstract
As with natural ecosystems, species within the tumor microenvironment are connected by pairwise interactions (e.g. mutualism, predation) leading to a strong interdependence of different populations on each other. In this review we have identified the ecological roles played by each non-neoplastic population (macrophages, endothelial cells, fibroblasts) and other abiotic components (oxygen, extracellular matrix) directly involved with neoplastic development. A way to alter an ecosystem is to affect other species within the environment that are supporting the growth and survival of the species of interest, here the tumor cells; thus, some features of ecological systems could be exploited for cancer therapy. We propose a well-known antitumor therapy called photodynamic therapy (PDT) as a novel modulator of ecological interactions. We refer to this as "ecological photodynamic therapy." The main goal of this new strategy is the improvement of therapeutic efficiency through the disruption of ecological networks with the aim of destroying the tumor ecosystem. It is therefore necessary to identify those interactions from which tumor cells get benefit and those by which it is impaired, and then design multitargeted combined photodynamic regimes in order to orchestrate non-neoplastic populations against their neoplastic counterpart. Thus, conceiving the tumor as an ecological system opens avenues for novel approaches on treatment strategies.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a novel cancer treatment. It involves the activation of a photosensitizer (PS) with light of specific wavelength, which interacts with molecular oxygen to generate singlet oxygen and other reactive oxygen species (ROS) that lead to tumor cell death. When a tumor is treated with PDT, in addition to affect cancer cells, the extracellular matrix and the other cellular components of the microenvironment are altered and finally this had effects on the tumor cells survival. Furthermore, the heterogeneity in the availability of nutrients and oxygen in the different regions of a tridimensional tumor has a strong impact on the sensitivity of cells to PDT. In this review, we summarize how PDT affects indirectly to the tumor cells, by the alterations on the extracellular matrix, the cell adhesion and the effects over the immune response. Also, we describe direct PDT effects on cancer cells, considering the intratumoral role that autophagy mediated by hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) has on the efficiency of the treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The well-known characteristics of aging skin are the development of fine lines and wrinkles, but changes in skin tone, skin texture, thickness and moisture content are also aspects of aging. Rejuvenation of the skin aims at reversing the signs of aging and can be established in the epidermis as well as in the dermis. Aged dermis, in fact, has a degenerated collagen matrix. To regenerate this matrix, fibroblasts need to be stimulated into synthesizing new collagen. AIMS In this study, the effects of heat shocks of different temperatures on human dermal fibroblasts in ex vivo skin on the expression of procollagen 1, procollagen 3, heat shock protein (hsp)27, hsp47, and hsp70 are investigated. MATERIALS AND METHODS The heat shocks were applied on ex vivo skin samples by immersing the samples in heated phosphate-buffered saline of 45 °C or 60 °C. Metabolic activity was measured and at similar time points propidium-iodide-calceine staining was performed to establish cell viability. Quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) was performed after the heat shock to determine gene expression levels relative to the reference temperature. Furthermore, PicroSirius Red and hematoxylin stainings were performed to visualize the collagen network and the cells. RESULTS The skin samples were shown to be viable and metabolically active. Histology indicated that the heat shocks did not influence the structure of the collagen network or cell appearance. qPCR results showed that in contrast to the 45 °C heat shock the 60 °C heat shock resulted in significant upregulations of procollagen type I and III, hsp70 and hsp47. CONCLUSION A 60 °C, heat shock stimulates the human dermal fibroblasts in ex vivo skin to upregulate their procollagen type I and type III expression.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The formation of wrinkles is associated with degeneration of the collagen matrix. For regeneration of the matrix, fibroblasts need to be stimulated in producing new collagen. AIMS In this study, the effect of short-pulsed heat shocks on gene expression of procollagen type I, procollagen type III, heat shock protein (hsp)27, hsp47 and hsp70 and on the expression of remodeling markers, procollagen type I carboxy-terminal peptide (P1P) and carboxy-terminal telopeptide of type I (ICTP), of human dermal fibroblasts in vitro, is investigated. MATERIALS AND METHODS Temperatures of 45 degrees C and 60 degrees C were used for the heat shocks. The proliferation rates, viability and metabolic activity were measured directly after the pulsed heat shocks and quantitative PCR was performed at five different time points after the heat shocks. Enzyme Immuno Assays were performed to determine the concentrations of P1P and ICTP. RESULTS A decreased proliferation rate of the 60 degrees C heat shocked cells was shown, whereas the viability and metabolic activity did not differ. Furthermore, gene expressions were upregulated in both 45 degrees C and 60 degrees C heat-shocked cells. However, remodeling marker analyses showed a larger amount of collagen produced by 60 degrees C heat-shocked cells. CONCLUSION It can be concluded that these findings, together with upregulation in gene expression, show that it is possible to stimulate the cells to produce more collagen with short-pulsed heat shocks.

Abstract
Osteogenic cells differentiated from bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) hold much promise in bone tissue engineering and reconstructive surgery. There is a dire need for well-defined and efficient protocols to promote the osteogenesis of ex vivo cultured MSC. Hence, this study investigated whether a combination of chemical stimuli (ascorbic acid, beta-glycerophosphate and dexamethasone) and culture media conditioned by a human foetal osteoblast cell line (hFOB) had any synergistic effect on the osteogenesis of MSC. Conditioned media with or without prior heat shock treatment (42 degrees C for 1 h) of the hFOB cell line, were collected and tested on rabbit MSC cultures, in the presence and absence of chemical stimuli. Osteogenic differentiation of MSC was assessed on both day 14 and 21 of ex vivo culture. The results showed conclusively that conditioned media promoted osteogenesis of MSC, which was further enhanced by prior heat shock-treatment of the hFOB cells, as well as by the presence of chemical stimuli. Among all experimental groups, the combination of culture medium conditioned by heat shocked hFOB cells together with chemical stimuli, exhibited the highest level of calcium mineralization, as assessed by Von Kossa staining. This provides clear evidence of a synergistic effect of conditioned media, heat shock and chemical stimuli. It is hoped that the data may contribute to the development of a more well-defined and efficient in vitro culture protocol to promote the osteogenesis of MSC for both clinical and non-clinical applications.

Abstract
Cellular responses to photodynamic therapy (PDT) include induction of heat shock proteins (HSP). We examined meso-tetrahydroxyphenyl chlorin (mTHPC) PDT-mediated HSP activation in EMT6 cells stably transfected with a plasmid containing the gene for green fluorescent protein (GFP) driven by an hsp70 promoter. mTHPC incubation induced concentration-dependent GFP expression. Irradiation of cells exposed to a sensitizer concentration that induced a slight increase in GFP and no loss of cell viability resulted in fluence-dependent GFP accumulation. In response to drug only and to PDT, GFP levels increased to a maximum of four- to five-fold above control levels with increasing drug or fluence and then decreased at higher doses. A trypan blue-exclusion assay confirmed that decreased GFP levels in both cases were due to a loss of cell viability. For initial evaluation in vivo, HSP70/ GFP-transfected EMT6 tumors were grown in BALB/c mice and subjected to mTHPC-PDT with a fluence of 1 J/cm2. Six hours after PDT, GFP fluorescence was imaged in these tumors through the intact skin in vivo. These results indicate that sublethal doses of mTHPC-PDT stimulate GFP expression under the control of an hsp70 promoter and illustrate the potential of noninvasively monitoring reporter protein fluorescence as a measure of molecular response to PDT.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the molecular stress responses related to the quality of recovery of normal tissue after various treatments for bladder cancer, i.e. hyperthermia, ionizing radiation, mitomycin-C and 5-aminolaevulinic acid photodynamic therapy (ALA-PDT). MATERIALS AND METHODS The study focused particularly on intracellular fibroblast levels of heat-shock protein-47 (HSP47) and HSP72, which are associated with collagen metabolism and the development of tolerance to repeated treatment, respectively. Iso-effective treatment doses (50% clonogenic cell survival) of each method were delivered to a 3T6 murine fibroblast model. Intracellular extracts were analysed at 3, 6, 9, 12 and 24 h after treatment, using Western blot analysis to compare the levels of HSP47 and HSP72. Time-matched treatment and control groups were quantified by comparison with actin and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) expression using appropriate software. RESULTS There were various changes in levels of HSP expression with treatment method; HSP47 levels were significantly higher after hyperthermia and radiation but not with mitomycin-C or ALA-PDT. HSP72 levels were significantly higher with all methods except ALA-PDT. CONCLUSIONS Hyperthermia and ionizing radiation are associated with early increases in levels of HSP47 (a marker of collagen metabolism), in contrast to ALA-PDT and mitomycin-C. These findings are compatible with clinical findings where fibrosis/scarring is common with the first two but not the last two methods. In addition, all methods except ALA-PDT are associated with an increase in HSP 72 (a protein associated with cellular tolerance) and this may help to explain, at a cellular level, why resistance to repeated ALA-PDT treatments does not seem to occur.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been associated anecdotally with good quality healing and an absence of scar formation. Our previous studies, examining the levels of the collagen specific molecular chaperone Hsp47, have noted differences in the response after photodynamic therapy and hyperthermia at both the transcriptional and translational levels. In the present study the levels of Hsp47 after exposure to two chemotherapeutic agents (bleomycin and mitomycin). ionising radiation, hyperthermia and haematoporphyrin ester (HpE) mediated PDT were compared in both mouse and human fibroblast cell lines. A rapid assay for soluble collagen has also been used to quantify soluble collagen levels at early time points after treatment. Peak Hsp47 levels were found to correlate well with peak collagen levels. The results show that the levels of collagen measured in vitro are elevated in modalities associated with scarring in vivo but not after HpE-PDT.

Abstract
Bone formation has been shown to be stimulated by local diathermy in vivo; however, the mechanisms involved in this heat-induced osteogenesis are unclear. In this study, we investigated the direct effect of temperature on human bone marrow-derived stromal cells (BMSCs) and the human osteoblast-like, osteosarcoma-derived MG-63 cells in culture conditions. Both cell types were shown to tolerate the transient exposure to mild heat shock conditions (1 h at 39-41 degrees C), and long-term (96 h) exposure at 39 degrees C stimulated DNA synthesis in BMSC but caused growth arrest in MG-63 cells. Furthermore, 1-h exposure to higher temperatures (42.5-45 degrees C) or continuous 96-h exposure to 40 degrees C or 41 degrees C inhibited the proliferation of both BMSCs and MG63 cells. The level of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) in these cells linearly correlated with the increase in temperature, and the ALP expression, either at the basal level or in response to 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25(OH)2D3], was enhanced after a single 1-h exposure to 42.5 degrees C. In addition, continuous incubation at 39 degrees C or repeated transient exposure to 39/41 degrees C greatly enhanced the ability of BMSCs to form mineralizing nodules. The heat shock protein HSP70, which was expressed constitutively by BMSCs, was found to be up-regulated by hyperthermia (39 degrees C) and down-regulated at 33 degrees C. The expression of HSP70 could be induced in MG-63 cells by both low- and high-temperature conditions. These data suggest that treatment with a mild heat shock induces the proliferation and differentiation of osteoprogenitor cells, and the direct effects of temperature on bone-forming cells might be one of the mechanisms involved in heat-induced bone formation in vivo.
