[超低周波電磁界は虚血脳から採取培養された神経前駆細胞の増殖および分化を増強する] med./bio.

Extremely low-frequency electromagnetic fields enhance the proliferation and differentiation of neural progenitor cells cultured from ischemic brains

掲載誌: NeuroReport 2015; 26 (15): 896-902

この研究は、胎仔の脳および成獣の虚血脳から採取し培養した海馬神経前駆細胞(NPCs)に対する超低周波磁界(ELF-EMF:50 Hz、0.4 mT)の影響を調べた。その結果、胎仔由来NPCsおよび虚血脳由来NPCsの両方において、ELF-EMFばく露による増殖力の増強が見られた;累積的なELF-EMFばく露後7日目において、神経細胞分化は増強されたが、神経膠細胞分化には顕著な影響はなかった;虚血脳由来NPCsでは、ELF-EMFばく露による増殖中にリン酸化Aktの発現が増えたが、Akt経路を遮断すると、虚血脳由来NPCsでのELF-EMF誘導性の増殖は見られなくなった、と報告している。

研究目的(著者による)

The effects of exposure of neural progenitor cells from adult ischemic and embryonic mice brains to a 50 Hz magnetic field on proliferation and neural differentiation should be investigated.

詳細情報

Neural progenitor cells play a crucial role in regeneration after brain injuries and may therefore be of therapeutic use.
Cells were divided into the following groups: 1) magnetic field exposure of embryo-derived cells, 2) control group for embryo-derived cells, 3) magnetic field exposure of adult-derived cells, 4) co-exposure of adult-derived cells to magnetic field and Wortmannin, 5) control group for adult-derived cells. Wortmannin is a specific inhibitor of the protein kinase B, whose signal pathway was investigated as a possible underlying mechanism of action.

研究の主なアウトカム(著者による)

Exposure to the magnetic field significantly increased the cell proliferation and the amount of differentiated neurons in both embryo-derived (group 1) and adult-derived (group 3) cells compared to their respective control group (group 2 or 5). Astrocyte differentiation did not show any significant differences between the exposure and control groups. The oligodendrocyte differentiation could not be analyzed due to a lack of detectable markers.
The amount of phosphorylated protein kinase B was significantly increased in exposed adult-derived cells (group 3) in comparison to the respective control group. Co-exposure to magnetic field and Wortmannin, however, decreased the amount of phosphorylated protein kinase B and reduced the cell proliferation significantly compared to the exposure group. All other signal pathway markers did not show any significant differences between the groups.
The authors conclude that exposure of neural progenitor cells from adult ischemic and embryonic mice brains to a 50 Hz magnetic field might enhance proliferation and neuronal differentiation. The effects of the magnetic field might be mediated via the protein kinase B pathway.
