: Angiogenesis is the multistep process of the formation of new blood vessels. It is beneficial in scenarios that require tissue repair and regeneration, such as wound healing, bone fracture repair, and recovery from ischemic injuries like stroke, where new blood vessel formation restores oxygen and nutrient supply to damaged areas. Extremely low-frequency electromagnetic stimulation (ELF-EMS), which involves electromagnetic fields in the frequency range of 0-300 Hz, have been shown to reduce ischemic stroke volume by improving cerebral blood flow and recovery effects that are dependent on eNOS. Based on previous results, we herein explore the effects of ELF-EMS treatment (13.5 mT/10 and 60 Hz) on the activation of angiogenic processes in vitro in homeostatic conditions. : Using human microvascular endothelial cells (HMEC-1), we studied cell proliferation, migration, and tube formation in vitro, as well as nitric oxide production and the effect of calcium and nitric oxide (NO) on these processes. Moreover, blood vessel formation was studied using a chicken chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) assay. : Our results showed that ELF-EMS increases proliferation, tube formation, and both the migration and transmigration of these cells, the latter of which was mediated via NO. In turn, calcium inhibition decreased ELF-EMF-induced NO production. Furthermore, ELF-EMS significantly increased blood vessel formation in the CAM assay. : Our results indicated that ELF-EMS exposure (13.5 mT/10 and 60 Hz) significantly induces angiogenesis in vitro and in ovo, underscoring its potential application in the treatment of conditions characterized by insufficient blood supply.
血管生成是新血管形成的多步骤过程。在需要组织修复和再生的情况下,它是有益的,例如伤口愈合、骨折修复以及从中风等缺血性损伤中恢复,新血管形成可恢复受损区域的氧气和营养供应。极低频电磁刺激(ELF - EMS)涉及0 - 300 Hz频率范围内的电磁场,已被证明可通过改善脑血流量和依赖于内皮型一氧化氮合酶(eNOS)的恢复作用来减少缺血性中风体积。基于先前的结果,我们在此探讨ELF - EMS治疗(13.5 mT/10和60 Hz)在稳态条件下对体外血管生成过程激活的影响。:使用人微血管内皮细胞(HMEC - 1),我们研究了体外细胞增殖、迁移和管形成,以及一氧化氮的产生和钙与一氧化氮(NO)对这些过程的影响。此外,使用鸡胚绒毛尿囊膜(CAM)试验研究了血管形成。:我们的结果表明,ELF - EMS增加了这些细胞的增殖、管形成以及迁移和跨迁移,后者是通过NO介导的。反过来,钙抑制降低了ELF - EMF诱导的NO产生。此外,ELF - EMS在CAM试验中显著增加了血管形成。:我们的结果表明,暴露于ELF - EMS(13.5 mT/10和60 Hz)在体外和体内均显著诱导血管生成,突出了其在治疗以血液供应不足为特征的病症中的潜在应用。
