Exposure of ELF-EMF and RF-EMF Increase the Rate of Glucose Transport and TCA Cycle in Budding Yeast

掲載誌: Front Microbiol 2016; 7: 1378

この研究は、出芽酵母モデル生物として、50Hzの超低周波電磁界(ELF-EMF)および2.0GHzの無線周波電磁界RF-EMFばく露に対する転写応答を、イルミナ(Illumina社)シーケンス技術を用いて調べた。その結果、ELF-EMFばく露では、28個の遺伝子転写レベルが上昇、4個の遺伝子転写レベルが低下した;RF-EMFばく露では、29個の遺伝子転写レベルが上昇、24個の遺伝子転写レベルが低下した;さらに実時間-定量ポリメラーゼ連鎖反応(RT-qPCR)法で検証すると、どちらのばく露の場合も、グルコース輸送およびTCAサイクルに関与する遺伝子発現が増加していたが、解糖系に関与するものはなかった、と報告している。

研究目的(著者による)

The effects of exposure of yeast cells to a 50 Hz or 2 GHz electro-magnetic field on the global gene expression should be investigated.

詳細情報

Cells were divided into 3 groups: 1) exposure to the 50 Hz field, 2) exposure to the 2 GHz field, 3) control group.

研究の主なアウトカム(著者による)

A total of 8 genes was found in group 1 (50 Hz exposure) which were significantly upregulated while 1 gene was significantly downregulated compared to the control group. In group 2 (2 GHz exposure), a total of 7 genes was significantly upregulated while 3 genes were significantly downregulated compared to the control group.
Further analysis revealed that both exposures significantly upregulated the expression of genes involved in glucose transportation and the citric acid cycle, but not the glycolysis pathway.
The authors conclude that exposure of yeast cells to a 50 Hz or 2 GHz electro-magnetic field might increase the gene expression rate of genes involved in cell metabolism.
