Picosecond pulse electric fields (psPEF) have the potential to elicit functional changes in mammalian cells in a non-contact manner. Such electro-manipulation of pluripotent and multipotent cells could be a tool in both neural interface and tissue engineering. Here, we describe the potential of psPEF in directing neural stem cells (NSCs) gene expression, metabolism, and proliferation. As a comparison mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) were also tested. A psPEF electrode was anchored on a customized commercially available 3-D printer, which allowed us to deliver pulses with high spatial precision and systematically control the electrode position in three-axes. When the electrodes are continuously energized and their position is shifted by the 3-D printer, large numbers of cells on a surface can be exposed to a uniform psPEF. With two electric field strengths (20 and 40 kV/cm), cell responses, including cell viability, proliferation, and gene expression assays, were quantified and analyzed. Analysis revealed both NSCs and MSCs showed no significant cell death after treatments. Both cell types exhibited an increased metabolic reduction; however, the response rate for MSCs was sensitive to the change of electric field strength, but for NSCs, it appeared independent of electric field strength. The change in proliferation rate was cell-type specific. MSCs underwent no significant change in proliferation whereas NSCs exhibited an electric field dependent response with the higher electric field producing less proliferation. Further, NSCs showed an upregulation of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) after 24 hours to 40 kV/cm, which is characteristic of astrocyte specific differentiation.
