Facilitatory effect of low-pulse repetition frequency ultrasound on release of extracellular vesicles from cultured myotubes.
Journal of Medical Ultrasonics 2024 April 5
PURPOSE: Extracellular vesicles (EVs) serve as carriers of intracellular factors with therapeutic effects, including tissue regeneration and attenuation of inflammatory responses. The majority of EVs in vivo are derived from skeletal muscle, which is reported to have anti-inflammatory effects. While high-intensity pulsed ultrasound (US) irradiation has been shown to promote EV secretion from myotubes, the impact of pulse repetition frequency, a US parameter affecting pulse length, on EV release remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the impact of pulse repetition frequency of US on the release of EVs from myotubes.
METHODS: C2C12 myoblasts were used in this study. After differentiation into C2C12 myotubes, US was performed for 5 min at an intensity of 3.0 W/cm2 , duty cycle of 20%, acoustic frequency of 1 MHz, and different pulse repetition frequencies (100 Hz, 10 Hz, or 1 Hz). After 12 h, EVs and cells were collected for subsequent analyses.
RESULTS: US did not cause a reduction in cell viability across all US groups compared to the control. The concentration of EVs was significantly higher in all US groups compared to the control group. In particular, the highest increase was observed in the 1-Hz group on EV concentration as well as intracellular Ca2+ level.
CONCLUSION: This study investigated the effect of three different pulse repetition frequencies of US on the release of EVs from cultured myotubes. It is concluded that a low-pulse repetition frequency of 1 Hz is the most effective for enhancing EV release from cultured myotubes with pulsed ultrasound.
