Exposure to 50 Hz magnetic field modulates GABA currents in cerebellar granule neurons through an EP receptor-mediated PKC pathway

掲載誌: J Cell Mol Med 2015; 19 (10): 2413-2422

この研究は、ラット小脳顆粒ニューロン(CGNs)のγ-アミノ酪酸タイプA受容体(GABAA Rs)に対する50Hz磁界(ELF-MF:1 mT、60分間ばく露)の影響を調べた。まず、ELF-MFばく露でGABAA R電流は有意に上昇するが、GABAへの感受性に変化はないことが示されたことを踏まえ、このような影響へのEP受容体介在性のPKC経路の関与を探索するために行った種々の実験の結果を報告している。

研究目的(著者による)

The effects of exposure of rat cerebellar granule neurons to 50 Hz magnetic fields on gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA) type A receptor ion channel activity and associated signal pathways should be investigated.

詳細情報

Cells were divided into the following groups: 1) exposure to a magnetic field of 0.2 mT for 60 and 120 minutes, 2) exposure to a magnetic field of 1 mT for 30 and 60 minutes, 3) sham exposure.

研究の主なアウトカム(著者による)

Cells exposed to a magnetic field of 0.2 mT (group 1) for 120 min or of 1 mT (group 1) for 60 min showed significantly increased GABA type A receptor ion channel currents compared to sham exposed cells. No significant differences were obeserved at the respective earlier points in time. An activation of protein kinase A led to a slight decrease of the ion channel current, however, whereas a protein kinase C activation led to an increase of the currents comparable to the magnetic field exposure and the inhibition of protein kinase C blocked the current.
Western blot analysis indicated that the protein expression of phosphorylated protein kinase C was significantly increased in cells after 60 minutes of 1 mT exposure in comparison to sham exposed cells, which could subsequently be blocked by the addition of the prostaglandin E receptor inhibitor SC19220. SC19220 also significantly inhibited the magnetic field-induced elevation of the GABA type A receptors ion channel currents.
The authors conclude that exposure of rat cerebellar granule neurons to a 50 Hz magnetic field could increase the GABA type A receptor ion channel activity and that these effects might be mediated via prostaglandin E receptor 1-protein kinase C pathway.
