Electromagnetic fields (EMFs) have received widespread attention as effective, noninvasive, and safe therapies across a range of clinical applications for bone disorders. However, due to the various frequencies of devices, their effects on tissues/cells are vary, which has been a bottleneck in understanding the effects of EMFs on bone tissue. Here, we developed an model system using zebrafish scales to investigate the effects of extremely low-frequency EMFs (ELF-EMFs) on fracture healing. Exposure to 10 millitesla (mT) of ELF-EMFs at 60 Hz increased the number of both osteoblasts and osteoclasts in the fractured scale, whereas 3 or 30 mT did not. Gene expression analysis revealed that exposure to 10 mT ELF-EMFs upregulated and Wnt target genes in the fractured scale. Moreover, -catenin expression was enhanced by ELF-EMFs predominantly at the fracture site of the zebrafish scale. Inhibition of Wnt/-catenin signaling by IWR-1-endo treatment reduced both osteoblasts and osteoclasts in the fractured scale exposed to ELF-EMFs. These results suggest that ELF-EMFs promote both osteoblast and osteoclast activity through activation of Wnt/-catenin signaling in fracture healing. Our data provide evidence that ELF-EMFs generated with a widely used commercial AC power supply have a facilitative effect on fracture healing.
电磁场(EMFs)作为一种有效、无创且安全的治疗方法,在一系列骨疾病的临床应用中受到了广泛关注。然而,由于设备的频率各不相同,它们对组织/细胞的影响也有所差异,这一直是理解电磁场对骨组织影响的瓶颈。在此,我们开发了一种利用斑马鱼鳞片的模型系统,以研究极低频电磁场(ELF-EMFs)对骨折愈合的影响。在60赫兹下暴露于10毫特斯拉(mT)的极低频电磁场中,可增加骨折鳞片中成骨细胞和破骨细胞的数量,而3 mT或30 mT则无此效果。基因表达分析显示,暴露于10 mT极低频电磁场中可上调骨折鳞片中的 和Wnt靶基因。此外,极低频电磁场主要在斑马鱼鳞片的骨折部位增强了β-连环蛋白的表达。用IWR-1-endo处理抑制Wnt/β-连环蛋白信号通路,可减少暴露于极低频电磁场的骨折鳞片中的成骨细胞和破骨细胞。这些结果表明,极低频电磁场在骨折愈合过程中通过激活Wnt/β-连环蛋白信号通路促进成骨细胞和破骨细胞的活性。我们的数据提供了证据,表明使用广泛的商用交流电源产生的极低频电磁场对骨折愈合具有促进作用。
