Tempol suppresses micronuclei formation in astrocytes of newborn rats exposed to 50-Hz, 10-mT electromagnetic fields under bleomycin administration

この研究は、50 Hz, 10 mTの磁界ブレオマイシン(BLM)の共ばく露による突然変異源的影響を新生仔ラット星状細胞における小核アッセイにより調べた。またこの突然変異源的影響に活性酸素種が関連するか否かを、スーパーオキサイドラジカルスカベンジャーである薬剤Tempolを用いて調べた。3日齢SD雄ラットを用いて、前者の実験は6群(n = 6):磁界ばく露72時間(有:無)×BLM(無し:5 mg/kg:10 mg/kg)[ばく露開始前1回投与]、後者の実験は4群(n = 6):全群ともBLM10 mg/kg投与後、磁界ばく露(有:無)×Tempol 200 μmol/kg(有:無)[BLM投与前に1回目、以降12時間おきに72時間目まで全7回投与]で行った。その結果、星状細胞小核頻度は、BLM10 mg/kg+磁界ばく露群の方がBLM10 mg/kg+擬似ばく露群より1.6倍高かった(p < 0.05);BLM10 mg/kgと磁界の72時間共ばく露においてTompol処置を加えた群の小核頻度は、対照群(生食液処置)の40%であった(p < 0.01)、という所見を報告している。

研究目的(著者による)

To study the mutagenic effects of co-exposure to 50 Hz magnetic fields and bleomycin. Additionally, it was investigated whether the mutagenic effects of magnetic fields were related to reactive oxygen species by using tempol (4-hydroxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethyl piperidine-1-oxyl), a superoxide radical scavenger.

詳細情報

Three-day-old male rats were sham exposed or co-exposed to 50 Hz magnetic fields and bleomycin (5 or 10 mg/kg body weight) in six groups (n=6 rats each): 1) magnetic field exposure, 2) sham exposure, 3) bleomycin (5 mg) + magnetic field co-exposure, 4) bleomycin (5 mg) + sham exposure, 5) bleomycin (10 mg) + magnetic field co-exposure, 6) bleomycin (10 mg) + sham exposure.
Additionally, four groups of rats (n=4 rats each) were treated with tempol: 7) bleomycin (10 mg/kg) + magnetic field exposure + tempol (200 µmol/kg body weight), 8) bleomycin + sham exposure + tempol, 9) bleomycin + magnetic field exposure + physiological saline solution, 10) bleomycin + sham exposure + physiological saline solution.

研究の主なアウトカム(著者による)

The number of micronucleated astrocytes in the "bleomycin (10 mg) + magnetic field exposure group" (group 5) was 1.6 times higher than that in the appropriate sham exposure group (group 6).
The number of micronuclei in astrocytes of group 7 (co-exposure to magnetic field + bleomycin + tempol) was 40% of that in rats administered with the same dose of bleomycin and physiological saline (group 9) and similar to those of the two sham exposure groups (groups 8 and 10).
The data suggest that the mechanism responsible for the elevated frequency of micronuclei in astrocytes of rats co-exposed to bleomycin and magnetic fields is related to reactive oxygen species.
