极低频磁场对激动剂诱发钙振荡的影响

从激动剂诱发钙振荡的非线性动力学模型出发, 通过数值计算分析极低频磁场对胞内游离钙离子浓度［Ｃａ２ ＋ ］ｉ 的影响。研究结果表明：只有当外加磁场的频率与胞内钙振荡的特征频率相近时,极低频磁场才会对该细胞的［Ｃａ２ ＋］ｉ 产生影响;由于激动剂诱发钙振荡的动力学模型中的许多参数是因细胞而异的,因此极低频磁场对［Ｃａ２ ＋ ］ｉ 的影响具有显著的个体差异

氧胁迫对人肝癌细胞生长分化和凋亡的影响

The human hepatoma cells SMMC-7721 were treated with different concentrations of ascorbic acid (50-800 mumol/L) and FeSO4 (2.5-40 mumol/L) system to generate oxidative stress at various degrees. The oxidative stress induced by the system were mainly contributed to hydroxyl radical. All the various degrees of oxidative stress in this study are able to inhibit the proliferation of hepatoma cells. While low levels of oxidative stress may cause hepatoma cells lost some malignant features, such as aggregation of Con-A to the cell surface, alpha-fetoprotein, gamma-glutamyltransepeptidase and tyrosine-alpha-ketoglutarate transaminase, all of the 4 indices tended to cell differentiation, coloning efficiency potential decreased significantly, and apoptotic cells appeared. The numbers of apoptotic cells increased with the increasing of oxidative stress. The apoptotic cells exhibited non-adherent, smaller, chromatin condensed around the periphery of the nucleus in the shape of crescent, nuclear fragmentations but with intact cellular membrane, and DNA degraded to around 21.2 kbp fragment. All of the results showed that there is possibility to inhibit hepatoma cells growth, to promote differentiation and apoptosis, and therefore to initiate reverse transformation via strict regulation of oxidative stress.

蛋白激酶B对活性氧调节7721人肝癌细胞生长的影响

以有义和反义人猛型超氧化物歧化酶（MnSOD）、蛋白激酶B（PKB）cDNA分别转染入7721肝癌细胞系建立高、低表达MnSOD和PKB的模型,通过改变细胞内、外源性活性氧和抗氧水平及PKB的活性,研究活性氧调节肝癌细胞生长过程中与PKB信号转导途径的关系。结果表明,低浓度外源性活性氧过氧化氢（1～10umol/L）应激及MnSOD低表达细胞中内源性活性氧水平升高,都可促进肝癌细胞增殖,而抗氧化剂丹参素(40mg/L）干预及MnSOD高表达使细胞内源性活性氧水平相对下降,都可一定程度抑制细胞的生长。采用^32P参入法检测细胞PKB酶活性,发现细胞内、外源性活性氧均能激活PKB,而采用抗氧化干预,能明显抑制PKB的酶活性。采用PT-PCR法检测AP-1转录因子组成成员c-fos和c-jun基因的mRNA表达,发现与PKB活性呈正比。说明活性氧在特定细胞内氧化/还原环境下可通过激活PKB途径传递信号、调控转录因子AP-1表达、促进肝癌细胞生长。

人肝癌细胞株中EGFR的表达和EGF对肝癌细胞生长的促进

本文分析了人肝癌细胞株7404,7721细胞中表皮生长因子受体(EGFR)基因表达和EGF对肝癌细胞生长的促进作用。~(125)Ⅰ-EGF对7404细胞的结合试验表明结合是可饱和的和专一的,从~(125)Ⅰ-EGF对7404、7721细胞结合浓度曲线作Scatchard作图和计算,提示每个7404和7721细胞表面分别有1.1×10~5和0.7×10~5的EGFR分子。Northern杂交分析证明EGFR基因在7404,7721细胞中的转录产物主要是5.6 kb EGFR mRNA,免疫印迹分析证明7404细胞和7721细胞的EGFR为170kd的蛋白。EGF对培养于含10%或0.5%小牛血清的RPMI-1640培液中的7404、7721细胞的贴壁依赖性生长有促进作用,促进作用的程度与培液中CS含量有一定关系,提示EGF的促生长作用可能是EGF与血清中其他成分协同作用的结果。EGF对培养于软琼脂中的7404,7721细胞的贴壁不依赖性生长也有明显促进作用。综合上述实验结果说明EGFR基因在人肝癌细胞中是活跃表达的,EGF可能是肝癌细胞生长依赖的一个重要有丝分裂原。     

Experimental studies on extremely low frequency pulsed magnetic field inhibiting sarcoma and enhancing cellular immune functions

The previous observation with an electron microscope showed that extremely low frequency (ELF) pulsed magnetic field (PMF) (with the maximum intensity of 0. 6-2. 0 T, gradient of 10-100 T. M-1, pulse width of 20-200 ms and frequency of 0. 16-1. 34 Hz) inhibited the growth of S-180 sarcoma in mice and enhanced the ability of immune cell's dissolving sarcoma cells. In this study, the DNA contents of nuclei were assayed by using Faulgen Staining method. With an electron microscope and cell stereoscopy technology it was observed that magnetic field affected the sarcoma cell's metabolism, lowered its malignancy, and restrained its rapid and heteromorphic growth. The magnetic field enhanced the cellular immune ability and the reaction of lymphocytes and plasma. Since ELF pulsed magnetic fields can inhibit the growth of sarcomas and enhance the cellular immune ability, it is possible to use it as a new method to treat cancer.     

Effects of low frequency electromagnetic field on proliferation of human epidermal stem cells: An in vitro study

To investigate the effects of low frequency electromagnetic fields (EMF) on the proliferation of epidermal stem cells, human epidermal stem cells (hESC) were isolated, expanded ex vivo, and then exposed to a low frequency EMF. The test and control cells were placed under the same environment. The test cells were exposed for 30 min/day to a 5 mT low frequency EMF at 1, 10, and 50 Hz for 3, 5, or 7 days. The effects of low frequency EMF on cell proliferation, cell cycle, and cell‐surface antigen phenotype were investigated. Low frequency EMF significantly enhanced the proliferation of hESC in the culture medium in a frequency‐dependent manner, with the highest cell proliferation rate at 50 Hz (P < 0.05). Exposure to a low frequency EMF significantly increased the percentage of cells at the S phase of the cell cycle, coupled with a decrease in the percentage of cells in the G1 phase (P < 0.05) but the effect was not frequency dependent. The percentage of CD29⁺/CD71^? cells remained unchanged in the low frequency EMF‐exposed hESC. The results suggested that low frequency EMF influenced hESC proliferation in vitro, and this effect was related to the increased proportion of cells at the S phase.

Alternating extremely low frequency magnetic field increases turnover of dopamine and serotonin in rat frontal cortex

The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of an extremely low frequency sinusoidal magnetic field (ELF MF) with frequency of 10 Hz and intensity of 1.8-3.8 mT on the levels of the biogenic amines dopamine (DA), 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC), homovanillic acid (HVA), 3-methoxytyramine (3-MT), 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), 5-hydroxyindolacetic acid (5-HIAA), and noradrenaline (NA), as well as on DA and 5-HT turnover in corpus striatum and frontal cortex of adult male Wistar rats. We found that ELF MF exposure for 14 days, 1 h daily, did not influence the level of the examined biogenic amines and metabolites, but increased the rate of synthesis (turnover) of DA and 5-HT in rat frontal cortex as compared to control, sham exposed rats. On the basis of the present results and our previous findings, extremely low frequency magnetic field (ELF MF) exposure has been found to alter both turnover and receptor reactivity of monoaminergic systems, as well as some behaviors induced by these systems or their agonists and antagonists.     

Effect of extremely low frequency magnetic fields on calpain activation

The effects of low intensity, low frequency magnetic fields (MFs) on catalytic activity of the calcium dependent protease calpain was determined following the enzyme activation both in "in vitro" and "in vivo" conditions. We have observed that a 0.3 mT MF induces a significant increase in the requirement of the protease for this metal ion. This change is detectable at low [Ca(2+)] and disappears when the level of Ca(2+) is raised to saturating amounts. The observed effects are not due to transient MF(-) induced conformational changes occurring in calpain, but to direct effects of the MF on Ca(2+) ions, which become less available for the binding sites present in calpain. Altogether, these results indicate that exposure to low intensity, low frequency MFs alters the intracellular Ca(2+) "availability," thereby modifying the related cell response.     

A possible involvement of beta-endorphin, substance P, and serotonin in rat analgesia induced by extremely low frequency magnetic field

Most of the research concerning magnetic antinociception was focused on brief exposure less than 1 h. The main purpose of the present study was to determine the effect of extremely low frequency (ELF) magnetic field (MF) repeated exposures on rats in inducing antinociception and to find the effective analgesic "time window." Meanwhile this investigation was to examine the role of central beta-endorphin, substance P, and 5-HT in magnetic analgesia. We found tail flick latencies (TFLs) increased significantly after the rats were exposed to 55.6 Hz, 8.1 mT magnetic field for 4 days, 6 h each day. The analgesic effects seemed to decrease gradually when the rats were exposed daily for another 10 days. Their levels of TFLs decreased within 1 day when the rats were removed after a 4-day exposure. The concentrations of hypothalamus beta-endorphin, substance P, and brainstem serotonin (5-HT) were increased significantly on Day 4. However, no differences were found when rats were exposed for another 10 days, and there were no significant increases when rats were removed after the fourth day of exposure and tested for nociception on Days 5 and 7 with no changes in the biochemical markers at 7 days. These results suggest that the ELF magnetic field has analgesic effect, but only on Days 3 and 4. The effect may be associated with increases in endogenous beta-endorphin, substance P, and 5-HT stimulated by the 55.6 Hz, 8.1 mT magnetic field.     

Exposure to strong static magnetic field slows the growth of human cancer cells in vitro

Proposals to enhance the amount of radiation dose delivered to small tumors with radioimmunotherapy by constraining emitted electrons with very strong homogeneous static magnetic fields has renewed interest in the cellular effects of prolonged exposures to such fields. Past investigations have not studied the effects on tumor cell growth of lengthy exposures to very high magnetic fields. Three malignant human cell lines, HTB 63 (melanoma), HTB 77 IP3 (ovarian carcinoma), and CCL 86 (lymphoma; Raji cells), were exposed to a 7 Tesla uniform static magnetic field for 64 hours. Following exposure, the number of viable cells in each group was determined. In addition, multicycle flow cytometry was performed on all cell lines, and pulsed-field electrophoresis was performed solely on Raji cells to investigate changes in cell cycle patterns and the possibility of DNA fragmentation induced by the magnetic field. A 64 h exposure to the magnetic field produced a reduction in viable cell number in each of the three cell lines. Reductions of 19.04 ± 7.32%, 22.06 ± 6.19%, and 40.68 ± 8.31% were measured for the melanoma, ovarian carcinoma, and lymphoma cell lines, respectively, vs. control groups not exposed to the magnetic field. Multicycle flow cytometry revealed that the cell cycle was largely unaltered. Pulsed-field electrophoresis analysis revealed no increase in DNA breaks related to magnetic field exposure. In conclusion, prolonged exposure to a very strong magnetic field appeared to inhibit the growth of three human tumor cell lines in vitro. The mechanism underlying this effect has not, as yet, been identified, although alteration of cell growth cycle and gross fragmentation of DNA have been excluded as possible contributory factors. Future investigations of this phenomenon may have a significant impact on the future understanding and treatment of cancer. © 1996 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
