Abstract
Described is a low voltage, pulsed electrical stimulation device for upregulating expression of klotho, a useful protein, by tissues. Also described are methods of enhancing expression of klotho in cells.
Claims (28)
1. A method of treating a cell, the method comprising:
stimulating the cell to express and/or release Klotho polypeptide by applying a bioelectric signal to the cell,
wherein the bioelectric signal has a square, biphasic waveform at 50% duty and a frequency selected from the group consisting of 5 Hz, 10 Hz, 20 Hz, 25 Hz, 50 Hz, 75 Hz, 100 Hz, 250 Hz, 500 Hz, 750 Hz, 2,500 Hz, 100,000 Hz, 500,000 Hz, and 1 MHz.
2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the cell is comprised within a subject.
3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the bioelectric signal has a frequency of 5 Hz.
4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the bioelectric signal has a frequency of 20 Hz.
5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the bioelectric signal has a frequency of 25 Hz.
6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the bioelectric signal has a frequency of 50 Hz.
7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the bioelectric signal has a frequency of 100 Hz.
8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the bioelectric signal has a frequency of 500 Hz.
9. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the bioelectric signal has a frequency of 750 Hz.
10. A method of using a bioelectric stimulator programmed to produce one or more bioelectric signals for stimulation of cellular tissue, wherein at least one such bioelectric signal upregulates expression of Klotho by the cellular tissue, the method comprising:
applying the bioelectric stimulator to target tissue of a subject, and
actuating the bioelectric stimulator to produce the one or more programmed bioelectric signals,
wherein the bioelectric stimulator is programmed with at least one bioelectric signal having a square, biphasic waveform at 50% duty and a frequency selected from the group consisting of 5 Hz, 10 Hz, 20 Hz, 25 Hz, 50 Hz, 75 Hz, 100 Hz, 250 Hz, 500 Hz, 750 Hz, 2,500 Hz, 100,000 Hz, 500,000 Hz, and 1 MHz.

The method according to claim 10 , wherein the amount of circulating Klotho in the subject's blood stream is increased by at least 200% over normal by applying the bioelectric stimulator to the target tissue and actuating the bioelectric stimulator to produce the one or more programmed bioelectric signals.
15. The method according to claim 14 , wherein the subject's risk of cancer is thereby reduced by applying the bioelectric stimulator to the target tissue and actuating the bioelectric stimulator to produce the one or more programmed bioelectric signals.
16. The method according to claim 10 , wherein the bioelectric signal is applied to the subject for from 5 minutes to 24 hours in a day.
17. The method according to claim 10 , wherein the subject has been diagnosed as having a condition selected from the group consisting of dementia, Alzheimer's disease, memory loss, inflammation, calcification, addiction, alcoholism, high blood pressure, aortic aneurysm recovery, lung regeneration, brain-immune interface difficulties, arthritis, vascular health, hypertension, vision recovery, teeth and gum regeneration, neurodegenerative disorders, hearing recovery, obesity, skin regeneration, aortic valve fibrosis, sun damage to the skin, psoriasis, depression and anxiety, aging, diabetic neuropathy, gut-brain health neurogenesis difficulties, pancreas and diabetes recovery, age-related inflammation, ALS, and/or Parkinson's.
18. The method according to claim 10 , wherein the target tissue is muscle tissue.
19. A method, of using a bioelectric stimulator programmed to produce one or more bioelectric signals for stimulation of cellular tissue, wherein at least one such bioelectric signal downregulates expression of Klotho by the cellular tissue, the method comprising:
applying the bioelectric stimulator to target tissue of a subject, and
actuating the bioelectric stimulator to produce the one or more programmed bioelectric signals,
wherein the bioelectric stimulator is programmed with at least one bioelectric signal having a square, biphasic waveform at 50% duty and having a frequency selected from the group consisting of 25,000 Hz, 50,000 Hz, 750,000 Hz, and 1 MHz.
20. The method according to claim 19 , wherein the bioelectric signal is applied to the subject for from 5 minutes to 24 hours in a day.
