This study investigated the impact of ultrasound (US) irradiation on the hepatic differentiation of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) induced by hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) and the possible mechanisms. We treated hBMSCs, using HGF with and without US irradiation. Cell viability and stem cell surface markers were analyzed. Hepatocyte-like cell markers and functional markers including alpha-fetoprotein (alpha FP/AFP), cytokeratin 18 (CK18), albumin (ALB) and glycogen content were analyzed at the time point of day 1, 3 and 5 after treatment. The involvement of Wnt/beta-catenin signaling pathway was evaluated as well. The results showed that the US treatment at 1.0 W/cm2 or 1.5 W/cm(2) for 30 s or 60 s conditions yielded favorable cell viability and engendered stem cell differentiation. At day 5, the expressions of AFP, CK18, ALB and the glycogen content were significantly elevated in the US-treated group at both messenger ribonucleic acid and protein levels (all p < 0.05), in comparison with HGF and control groups. Among all the US treated groups, the expression levels of specific hepatic markers in the (1.5 W/cm(2) for 60 s) group were the highest. Furthermore, Wnt1, beta-Catenin, c-Myc and Cyclin D1 were significantly increased after US irradiation (all p < 0.05), and the enhancements of c-Myc and Cyclin D1 could be obviously impaired by the inhibitor ICG-001 (p < 0.05, p < 0.05), in accordance with decreased ALB and CK18 expression and glycogen content (all p < 0.05). In conclusion, US irradiation was able to promote the hBMSCs' differentiation mediated by HGF in vitro safely, easily and controllably. The activation of Wnt/beta-catenin signaling pathway was involved in this process. US irradiation could serve as a potentially beneficial tool for the research and application of stem cell differentiation.
