In general, electrical stimulation can cause the cell to become more active, increase its metabolism, and change its gene expression. For example, if the electrical stimulation is of low intensity and short duration, it may simply cause the cell to depolarize. However, if the electrical stimulation is of high intensity or long duration, it may cause the cell to become hyperpolarized. The electrical stimulation of cells is a process by which an electrical current is applied to cells in order to change their function or behavior. This process can be used to treat various medical conditions and has been shown to be effective in a number of studies.

In general, electrical stimulation can cause the cell to become more active, increase its metabolism, and change its gene expression. For example, if the electrical stimulation is of low intensity and short duration, it may simply cause the cell to depolarize. However, if the electrical stimulation is of high intensity or long duration, it may cause the cell to become hyperpolarized. The electrical stimulation of cells is a process by which an electrical current is applied to cells in order to change their function or behavior. This process can be used to treat various medical conditions and has been shown to be effective in a number of studies. In this perspective, the effects of electrical stimulation on the cell are summarized.</div> </section> <div id="html-keywords"> <div class="html-gwd-group"><div id="html-keywords-title">Keywords: </div><a href="/search?q=signal+transduction">signal transduction</a>; <a href="/search?q=electrical+stimulation">electrical stimulation</a>; <a href="/search?q=cultured+cells">cultured cells</a>; <a href="/search?q=cytoskeleton">cytoskeleton</a>; <a href="/search?q=cell+adhesion">cell adhesion</a></div> <div> </div> </div> </div> </p> </div> </section> </div> <div class="hypothesis_container"> <ul class="menu html-nav" data-prev-node="#html-quick-links-title"> </ul> <div class="html-body"> <section id='sec1-medsci-11-00011' type='intro'><h2 data-nested='1'> 1.

However, little is known about the changes in cellular morphology and the localization of specific signal transduction proteins associated with electrical stimulation.

When the cells were subjected to periodic electric stimulation overnight, the stress fibers became thicker. In addition, after approximately two hours, the stress fibers and focal adhesions in the cells had enlarged, the former exhibiting a growth in thickness, while the cells had a contracted appearance. After the electrical stimulation, phosphotyrosine-containing proteins accumulate in the focal adhesions of the cells. The active form of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) and activated form of c-Src, which are localized signal transduction proteins, had also accumulated in the focal adhesions. This observation indicated that proteins related to certain kinds of signal transduction were affected by the electrical stimulation [<a href="#B2-medsci-11-00011" class="html-bibr">2</a>,<a href="#B3-medsci-11-00011" class="html-bibr">3</a>,<a href="#B4-medsci-11-00011" class="html-bibr">4</a>].

Cell Proliferation and Apoptosis</h4><div class='html-p'>Exogenous electrical stimulation is frequently used to manipulate cells to induce changes in various cellular processes, such as apoptosis and cell proliferation.

Inflammatory Phase in the Healing Process of Wounds</h4><div class='html-p'>The inflammatory phase starts as soon as wound formation and involves the coagulation cascade, inflammatory pathways, and immune system activation. Electrical stimulation promotes vasodilation and increases cellular vascular permeability, allowing more white blood cells, platelets, and other cells to collect at the wound site. As an example of cell migration by electrical stimulation, Hoare et al. [<a href="#B7-medsci-11-00011" class="html-bibr">7</a>] reported that macrophages migrate to the anode with very low stimulation (5 mV/mm) and that the rate of directional migration is proportional to electric field strength, resulting in increased phagocytosis of oxalate microspheres, C-type albicans, and apoptotic neutrophils. These results suggest that the electric field, at the molecular level, activated ERK and P13K pathways [<a href="#B8-medsci-11-00011" class="html-bibr">8</a>,<a href="#B9-medsci-11-00011" class="html-bibr">9</a>], which then increased intracellular Ca<sup>2+</sup> influx, including TRPV2-like Ca<sup>2+</sup> influx in macrophages, which would enhance bacterial phagocytosis efficiency [<a href="#B10-medsci-11-00011" class="html-bibr">10</a>].</div><div class='html-p'>In addition to its impact on the eukaryotic cells, milliampere (0.2–140 mA) direct current (DC) inhibits the growth of <span class='html-italic'>E. coli</span> [<a href="#B11-medsci-11-00011" class="html-bibr">11</a>], while alternating current (AC) of similar magnitude (15–30 mA) produces only negligible effects.

Proliferative Phase in the Wound Healing Process</h4><div class='html-p'>During the proliferative phase of wound healing, re-epithelialization, fibrogenesis, and angiogenesis occur. Electrical stimulation has the effect of stimulating keratinocyte proliferation and differentiation, increasing keratin deposition and the keratinocyte migration rate, a prerequisite for re-epithelialization [<a href="#B13-medsci-11-00011" class="html-bibr">13</a>]. While reducing the inflammatory cytokines IL-6 and IL-8, electrical stimulation of keratinocytes also activates the ERK1/2 and p38 MAP kinase pathways [<a href="#B14-medsci-11-00011" class="html-bibr">14</a>]. Electrical stimulation also influences the orientation and directed migration of cultured corneal epithelial cells [<a href="#B15-medsci-11-00011" class="html-bibr">15</a>], migration of <span class='html-italic'>Dictyostellium discoideum</span> [<a href="#B16-medsci-11-00011" class="html-bibr">16</a>], and re-epithelialization of murine corneal wounds [<a href="#B17-medsci-11-00011" class="html-bibr">17</a>]. The decrease in inflammatory cytokine expression suggests a smooth transition from the inflammatory to the proliferative phase, and thus electrical stimulation may promote wound healing.</div><div class='html-p'>Enhanced granulation tissue ingrowth into the wound center was shown in an in vivo study of human wounds subjected to monophasic and biphasic electrical stimulation at a field strength of 100 mV/mm for 30 min each day for 16 days. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed a doubling of epidermal thickness on day 16, significantly greater cytokeratin-10 staining, and almost three times higher cytokeratin-10 mRNA expression relative to controls [<a href="#B18-medsci-11-00011" class="html-bibr">18</a>]. Furthermore, in the corresponding ex vivo wound model, it was also observed that electrical stimulation significantly increased the expression of the following proteins: (1) proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), a DNA clamp that acts as a processivity factor for DNA polymerase delta; (2) human double minute 2 (HDM2), in which HDM2 forms a complex with p53, regulating the tumor suppressor functions of p53; and (3) SIVA1, which is an apoptosis-inducing factor. These proteins, which are all known to be involved in cell cycle regulation and DNA damage repair, were found to display different responses to the electrical stimulus. Thus, PCNA was seen to increase, while HDM2 decreased, with SIVA1 displaying no significant change [<a href="#B19-medsci-11-00011" class="html-bibr">19</a>].</div><div class='html-p'>It has also been reported that in fibroblasts, electrical stimulation leads to more collagen deposition and faster migration [<a href="#B14-medsci-11-00011" class="html-bibr">14</a>,<a href="#B20-medsci-11-00011" class="html-bibr">20</a>,<a href="#B21-medsci-11-00011" class="html-bibr">21</a>,<a href="#B22-medsci-11-00011" class="html-bibr">22</a>]. FGF-1 and FGF-2 secretion by fibroblasts is significantly upregulated by electrical stimulation, readjusting the balance of cell migration, proliferation, and differentiation [<a href="#B23-medsci-11-00011" class="html-bibr">23</a>]. Fibrogenesis is important for the granulation of tissue, and fibroblasts must be allowed to move to cover the wound. The directional migration of fibroblasts for this purpose was enhanced by electrical stimulation, with the localized clustering of integrin α2β1 and lamellipodia formation more prone to occur toward the cathode side of the electric field [<a href="#B24-medsci-11-00011" class="html-bibr">24</a>].</div><div class='html-p'>In addition, electrical stimulation promotes angiogenesis, which allows endothelial cells to migrate and increases blood supply to the wound. Previous studies using fibroblasts and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) have shown that electrical stimulation activates the NOS pathway and upregulates FGF2, which in turn activates the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)/ERK pathway cascade, and further promotes VEGF expression [<a href="#B25-medsci-11-00011" class="html-bibr">25</a>]. Fibroblasts were also found to increase FGF-1 and FGF-2 secretion after electrical stimulation; since FGF-1, FGF-2, and VEGF are angiogenic factors and need to be present for efficient wound healing, these increased expressions indicate the considerable therapeutic potential of electrical stimulation in wound healing. In studies on HUVECs and human mammary epithelial cells (HMECs), electrical stimulation increased the rate of cathodic migration of both kinds of cell, increased production of the C-X-C chemokine receptor type 4 (CXCR4) and type 2 (CXCR2), which are important for endothelial cell migration, and also caused the mitotic cleavage plane of both kinds of cell to be perpendicular to the field vector in contrast to the control’s random orientation [<a href="#B26-medsci-11-00011" class="html-bibr">26</a>,<a href="#B27-medsci-11-00011" class="html-bibr">27</a>].</div></section><section id='sec2dot1dot3-medsci-11-00011' type=''><h4 class='' data-nested='3'> 2.1.3. Remodeling Phase in the Wound Healing Process</h4><div class='html-p'>Even at the end of the wound healing process, electrical stimulation accelerates the remodeling process by increasing the contractility of myofibroblast and the replacement of type-III collagen by type-I collagen through collagen fiber reorganization, enhancing maturity by increasing tensile strength.</div><div class='html-p'>Rouabhia et al. [<a href="#B28-medsci-11-00011" class="html-bibr">28</a>] used a collagen gel assay to demonstrate that both field intensity and exposure time were beneficial in causing fibroblasts seeded in collagen gels to contract more when electrically stimulated than those from control experiments. Studies using pulsed electrical stimulation also showed that electrically stimulated activated fibroblasts expressed significantly higher levels of α-SMA (smooth muscle actin) mRNA in qRT-PCR experiments [<a href="#B29-medsci-11-00011" class="html-bibr">29</a>]. Human skin fibroblasts receiving electrical stimulation exhibited increased tension and expressed higher levels of α-SMA and TGF-β1 in a collagen gel contraction assay. Thus, electrical stimulation may enhance the contractile capacity of fibroblasts by promoting trans-differentiation into myofibroblasts.</div></section><section id='sec2dot1dot4-medsci-11-00011' type=''><h4 class='' data-nested='3'> 2.1.4.

In the same study, electrical stimulation upregulated class III-tubulin (TUBB3) and its upstream molecule, factor-inducible gene 4, and increased glycoprotein 100, a melanocyte system-specific antigen that indicates the existence of TUBB3+ melanocytes and the formation of melanin [<a href="#B31-medsci-11-00011" class="html-bibr">31</a>].

In other words, it is suggested that PI(3)Kg and PTEN regulate electromotility.</div><div class='html-p'>Exposure of keratinocytes and neutrophils to an exogenous electric field in a serum-free medium also induced rapid and sustained phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK), p38 mitogen-activated kinase (MAPK), and c-Src, as well as the phosphorylation of Akt (S473) in electrically migrating keratinocytes [<a href="#B13-medsci-11-00011" class="html-bibr">13</a>,<a href="#B61-medsci-11-00011" class="html-bibr">61</a>].

Therefore, it is believed that DC electric fields induce membrane redistribution, which in turn triggers signaling pathways by binding many growth factors such as EGF, FGF, and TGF-β1 to their corresponding receptors, resulting in local changes in actin dynamics. Another important receptor associated with EF is the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) [<a href="#B64-medsci-11-00011" class="html-bibr">64</a>].

Fibroblasts have been found to increase FGF-1 and FGF-2 secretion after electrical stimulation. The chemokine receptors CXCR4 and CXCR2, which are important for endothelial cell migration, are produced more abundantly as a result of such stimulation. Pulsed electrical stimulation of activated fibroblasts produces significantly higher levels of a-SMA mRNA, while stimulation of human skin fibroblasts produces higher levels of α-SMA and TGF-β1. Electrical stimulation upregulates the expression of substance P and Protein Gene Product 9.5, indicating successful reinnervation. It also upregulates class III-tubulin and its upstream molecule, factor-inducible gene 4, and increases glycoprotein 100, indicating the formation of melanin.</div><div class='html-p'>With respect to apoptosis, wherein electrical stimulation is believed to form pores in cell membranes, low-voltage electrical pulses induce apoptosis by activating caspase-8, caspase-9, and caspase-3.

Furthermore, hepG2 hepatocellular carcinoma cell line-specific capacitive and resistive electric transfer to induce apoptosis upregulates p53, which is translocated into the nucleus in response to DNA damage, downregulating the anti-apoptotic factor Bcl-2. Meanwhile, electrical stimulation of neuronal tissue, which is excitable, and voltage-gated ion channels, activates the phosphoinositide 3-kinase-protein kinase B (PI3K-Akt) signaling pathway, which is crucial in inhibiting apoptosis. After a gastric ischemia-reperfusion injury, constant-current square wave pulses activate not only the PI3K-Akt pathway but also the MAPK pathway of the gastric mucosal tissue.

Conclusions</h2><div class='html-p'>In conclusion, the effects of electrical stimulation applied to a cell are varied and dependent on a number of factors. These include the type of cell, the intensity and duration of the stimulation, and the specific location of the cell being stimulated.</div><div class='html-p'>Electrical stimulation has been demonstrated to activate signal transduction pathways within the cell, such as MAPK pathways which transmit extracellular signals into the nucleus, and integrin-associated signal transduction proteins, such as Src family tyrosine kinases, FAK and Rho A, which are involved in cell proliferation and cell adhesion. These signal transduction proteins can be stimulated electrically, resulting in a cascade of intracellular events that can ultimately alter cellular physiology. This activation is mediated by the influx of ions through specialized channels, such as voltage-gated ion channels or mechanosensitive channels, allowing for the flow of electrical charge across the cell membrane into the inside of the cells. Electrical stimulation can have both positive and negative effects on the cell, depending on the circumstances. For example, if the electrical stimulation is of low intensity and short duration, it may simply cause the cell to depolarize. However, if the electrical stimulation is of high intensity or long duration, it may cause the cell to become hyperpolarized.</div></section> </div> <div class="html-back"> <section class='html-notes'><h2>Funding</h2><div class='html-p'>The work reported here was supported by Grants-in-Aid for Promotional Projects for Advanced Education and Research, National University Cooperation, Tsukuba University of Technology.
