Abstract
Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the effect of acoustic vibration on the pluripotency of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) and evaluate cell proliferation and self-renewal ability post-treatment.
Methods: The human ES cell line H1 was used for the experiments. hESCs were treated with an acoustic vibration device. Their proliferative ability was subsequently detected using a colony formation assay, while the expression of pluripotency-related markers was detected via immunofluorescence staining. Finally, changes in gene expression levels were examined using quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) in the presence of appropriate primers.
Results: Compared with normal cells in the control group, the morphology of experimental cells subjected to acoustic vibration did not significantly change. Contrastingly, the colony-forming efficiency of the experimental cells significantly increased. Immunofluorescence staining results showed the cells in experimental group were positive for the pluripotency markers NANOG, octamer-binding transcription factor 4 gene (OCT4), and SRY (sex determining region Y)-box 2 (SOX2). In addition, the expression levels of pluripotency genes NANOG, OCT4, SOX2, and Yes-associated protein (YAP)-related genes were up-regulated following acoustic vibration.
Conclusions: Our results revealed that acoustic vibration enhanced the proliferative ability of hESCs and increased the expression levels of NANOG, OCT4, SOX2, and YAP-related genes, indicating that acoustic vibration can optimize the self-renewal ability of hESCs and that the YAP signaling pathway may play a critical role in the functional process of acoustic vibration.
