Abstract
In this doctoral dissertation, low magnitude mechanical signals (LMMS, <1g in magnitude) were used to test the stress shielding model hypothesized on breast cancer cells. The hypothesis was that the breast cancer cells will be sensitive to mechanical vibrations and will respond to these vibrations. It was similarly used to test the adipogenic differentiation of Lamin A/C knockdown (by siRNA) bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells. It is known that Lamin A/C plays a role in the nucleus and intracellular organization in these cells and affects gene expression by chromatin regulation. The hypothesis was that if these cells are deprived of the organization for the nucleus, they will be sensitive to mechanical vibrations, but that the mechanical vibrations cannot restore the effect of lamin A/C on gene regulation. We investigated the effects of high-frequency low-density mechanical signals (LMMS) on cell proliferation, apoptosis, cell cycle, protein expression, differentiation, cytoskeleton and phenotypic change processes. According to findings, LMMS caused cell cycle arrest in the aggressive type of breast cancer cells and slowed proliferation. Non-aggressive breast cancer has not responded to LMMS. In mammary epithelial cells, LMMS has not shown an effect that triggers proliferation. In the mesenchymal stem cell model, Lamin A/C knockdown accelerated adipogenic differentiation. Although LMMS in these cells decreased the rate of adipogenic differentiation, it was not sufficient to restore the baseline.
