| Research Abstract |
We studied therapeutic method utilizing electro-acupuncture which induces proliferation of skeletal muscle stem cells. Our results showed that effective stimulation condition for the proliferation of skeletal muscle stem cells was electro-acupuncture of the low-frequency up to 30 Hz,that of mixed mid-frequency and the femtosecond laser radiation. We found no cell damages after thestimulation of such electro-acupuncture and the femtosecond laser. Our analysis of the model mouse of disuse muscle atrophy showed that the electro-acupuncture could inhibit muscle atrophy, changed gene expressions, reduced protein abundance of myostatin and the correlation of AKT/mTOR/FOXO signaling was suggested. The result of our experiment also showed that the electro-acupuncture could maintain not only the muscle mass butthe contractile force of muscle
