The effects of high-intensity pulsed electromagnetic stimulation (HIPEMS) on proliferation and differentiation of neonatal rat neural stem cells in vitro were investigated. Neural stem cells derived from neonatal rats were exposed to 0.1 Hz,0.5-10 Tesla (T) [8 groups of B-I,respectively],5 stimuli of HIPEMF. The sham exposure controls were correspondingly established. Inverted phase contrast microscope was used to observe the cultured cells,MTT assay to detect the viability of the cells as expressed by absorhance (A) value,and flow cytometry to measure differentiation of neural stem cells. The results showed that A values of neural stem cells in both 3.0 T and 4.0 T groups were significantly higher than the other groups 24 to 168 h post HPEMS,indicating a strong promotion of the growth of neural stem cells (P＜0.05). The A values of neural stem cells in the 6.0 T,8.0 T,and 10.0 T groups were lower than the sham exposure control group,indicating a restraint of the growth of neural stem cells. The rate of neuron-specific enolase-positive neurons revealed by flow cytometry in HPEMS groups was the same as that in control group (P＞0.05). It was suggested that 0.1 Hz,5 pulses stimulation of HPEMS within certain scale of intensity (0.5-10.0 T),significantly promoted the growth of neural stem cells with the rational intensity being 4.0 T.
