Physical shock wave (SW) has shown effectiveness on promotion of bone growth. We have recently demonstrated that SW could promote bone marrow stromal cell differentiation toward osteoprogenitor associated with induction of TGF-beta1. We have further demonstrated that SW-induced membrane hyperpolarization and Ras activation acted an early signal for the osteogenesis in human bone marrow stromal cells. An optimal dose of SW treatment at 0.16 mJ/mm(2) for 500 impulses induced a rapid membrane hyperpolarization in 5 min, activation of Ras in 30 min, and cell proliferation in 2 days. The SW-promoted cell growth was related to osteogenesis as demonstrated by increase of bone alkaline phosphatase activity in 6 days and osteocalcin mRNA expression in 12 days. In support that SW-induced Ras activation mediated osteogenesis of human bone marrow stromal cells, we further demonstrated that transfection of bone marrow stromal cells with a dominant negative Ras mutant (Asn-17 ras(H)) abrogated the SW enhancement of osteogenic transcription factor (CBFA1) activation, osteocalcin mRNA expression, and bone nodule formations. These results suggest that physical SW promotes bone marrow stromal cell differentiation toward osteogenic lineage via membrane hyperpolarization, followed by Ras activation and specific osteogenic transcription factor CBFA1 expression. A link between physical SW and biomembrane perturbation-mediated Ras activation may highlight how noninvasive physical agents could be used to promote fracture healing and to rescue patients with osteoporosis and osteopenic disorders in the future.
