This study provides evidence that low-intensity ultrasound directly affects nuclear processes, and the magnitude of the effect varies with frequency. In particular, we show that the transcriptional induction of first load-inducible genes, which is independent of new protein synthesis, is frequency dependent. Bovine chondrocytes were exposed to low-intensity (below the cavitational threshold) ultrasound at 2, 5 and 8 MHz. Ultrasound elevated the expression of early response genes c-Fos, c-Jun and ...[more]
