900 MHz radiation does not induce micronucleus formation in different cell types

掲載誌: Mutagenesis 2012; 27 (4): 477-483

この研究は、ゲノム損傷の現れとしての有糸分裂擾乱の結果生じる可能性がある小核誘導を指標に、900MHzの携帯電話電磁界の影響を、ヒト細胞としてHaCat細胞、ヒト‐ハムスター・ハイブリッド細胞としてA(L)細胞の2種類の細胞を用いて調べた。ばく露後の異なるインキュベーション期間の後、細胞固定し、小核の発生頻度を評価した結果、どちらの種類の細胞にもばく露によるゲノム損傷は見られなかったと報告している。

研究目的(著者による)

To study the potential of radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (900 MHz) to cause a genomic damage in the form of micronucleus induction.

詳細情報

After different post-exposure incubation periods (4 h or 22 h, with or without cytochalasin B), cells were fixed and micronucleus frequencies were evaluated. Cells treated with methyl methanesulfonate for 4 h were used as positive control.

研究の主なアウトカム(著者による)

Both cell types did not show any genomic damage after exposure. To adapt the protocol for the micronucleus test into the direction of the protocol for mitotic disturbances, the post-exposure incubation period was reduced (4 h). and exposure time was extended to one cell cycle length (22 h). This did not result in any increase of the genomic damage.
In conclusion, micronucleus induction was not observed as a consequence of exposure to non-ionizing radiation, even though this agent was reported to cause mitotic disturbances under similar experimental conditions (see Schmid and Schrader 2007, Schrader et al. 2008, Schrader et al. 2011).
