Background: The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of low intensity ultrasound (LIUS) on proliferation and growth indexes of rat Bone-Marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in vitro.
Material and Methods: Low intensity ultrasound was irradiated by Ip/IAve= 355 mW.cm-2 and 3 MHz frequency
in continues mode. Bone marrow cells prepared from rat's tibia and femur central canal were cultured in medium
complemented with FBS. Passage three confluent cells were irradiated by LIUS and during 7 days culture period proliferation and growth indexes of cells were evaluated by calculation of Population Doubling Number (PDN)
and daily examination of the cell growth for drawing growth curve. Each experiment was performed three times
for ten sample and the mean values were statistically compared by SPSS (16.0) software. In this study, passaged-
3 cells were evaluated in terms of their bone and adipocyte differentiation potential.
Results: According to growth curve, the cells affected by ultrasound, have short lag phase and their log phase was  sharper  and  shorter  than  control  group  (without  ultrasound  treatment)IUgroup  more  population
doubling number occurred (p<0.004); PD in US group was 17.3924±5.79 versus control group 14.087±4.69
(p<0.005). Passageed-3 cells were readily differentiated among bone and adipocyte lineages confirming their mesenchymal stem cell nature.
Conclusion:  Taken  together,  we  investigated  that  LIUS  could  significantly  improve  the  proliferation  and
viability potential of rat MSCs in vitro.
