Microwave electromagnetic field regulates gene expression in T-lymphoblastoid leukemia CCRF-CEM cell line exposed to 900 MHz

掲載誌: Electromagn Biol Med 2012; 31 (1): 1-18

本研究では、高周波電磁界へのばく露健康への悪影響を生じるかどうかを調べるため、TEMセルで発生させた900MHzマイクロ波電磁界への短期及び長期ばく露の存在下で、急性Tリンパ芽球白血病細胞(CCRF-CEM)を培養した。遺伝子発現に対する高周波電磁界の影響を評価した結果、900MHzマイクロ波電磁界ばく露によって影響される機能的経路が明らかに示されたと述べている。

研究の主なアウトカム(著者による)

After 48 hours, a significantly decreased number of viable cells was found in the exposed cell cultures when compared to the 48 hours-control group. After 2 hours of exposure, the number of cells undergoing apoptosis was significantly increased in comparison to the 2 hours control group. This effect decreased after 48 hours, but remained statistically significant.
Analysis via microarray revealed that the gene expression of numerous genes involved in DNA repair, apoptosis, cell cycle regulation, angiogenesis and chromosomal organization was significantly down-regulated, respectively up-regulated in the exposed groups compared to the control groups. Most of the results were verified via Western blot.
The results indicate that microwave-exposure could induce changes in gene expression and influence the cell growth.
