Mild Electrical Stimulation Increases Ubiquitinated Proteins and Hsp72 in A549 Cells via Attenuation of Proteasomal Degradation

To explore the cellular effects of mild electrical stimulation (MES), we treated A549 cells with low-intensity direct current at 5 V applied for 10 min. MES did not induce cell cytotoxicity or the unfolded protein response (UPR). Interestingly, the expression of ubiquitinated proteins and heat shock...
