Abstract

Therapeutic electric fields (EFs) are applied to the epidermis to accelerate the healing of chronic epidermal wounds and promote skin transplantation. While research has emphasized understanding the role of EFs in polarizing the migration of superficial epidermal cells, there are no reports describing the effect of EFs on polarization of the underlying vasculature. We explored the effects of EFs on the growth of endothelial sprouts, precursors to functional blood vessels. We discovered that DC EFs of the same magnitude near wounded epidermis polarize initiation, growth, and turning of endothelial sprouts toward the anode. While EFs polarize sprouts, they do not change the frequency of primary sprout or branch formation. Unidirectional electrical pulses also polarize sprouts based on their time-averaged EF magnitude. Sprout polarization occurs antiparallel to the direction of electrically driven water flow (electro-osmosis) and is consistent with the direction of sprout polarization induced by pressure-driven flow. These results support the role of EFs in controlling the direction of neovascularization during the healing of soft tissues and tissue engineering.

摘要

治疗电场(EFs)作用于表皮,以加速慢性表皮伤口的愈合并促进皮肤移植。虽然研究重点在于了解EFs在使浅表表皮细胞迁移极化方面的作用,但尚无关于EFs对下层脉管系统极化影响的报道。我们探究了EFs对内皮芽(功能性血管的前体)生长的影响。我们发现,伤口附近表皮处相同强度的直流EFs会使内皮芽的起始、生长和转向朝向阳极极化。虽然EFs使芽极化,但它们不会改变初级芽或分支形成的频率。单向电脉冲也会根据其时间平均EF强度使芽极化。芽的极化方向与电驱动水流(电渗)方向相反,且与压力驱动流诱导的芽极化方向一致。这些结果支持了EFs在软组织愈合和组织工程过程中控制新生血管形成方向的作用。
