Exposure of pregnant women to radiofrequency (RF) devices raises questions on their possible health consequences for their progeny. We examined the hazard threshold of gestational RF on the progeny's glial homeostasis, sensory-motor gating, emotionality, and novelty seeking and tested whether maternal immune activation would increase RF toxicity. Pregnant dams were daily restrained with loop antennas adjoining the abdomen (fetus body specific absorption rates (SAR): 0, 0.7, or 2.6 W/kg) and received three lipopolysaccharide (LPS) intra-peritoneal injections (0 or 80 μg/kg). Scores in the prepulse startle inhibition, fear conditioning, open field, and elevated plus maze were assessed at adolescence and adulthood. Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and interleukines-1β (ILs) were quantified. LPS induced a SAR-dependent reduction of the prepulse startle inhibition in adults. Activity in the open field was reduced at 2.6 W/kg at adolescence. GFAP and ILs, emotional memory, and anxiety-related behaviors were not modified. These data support the hypothesis that maternal immune activation increased the developmental RF exposure-induced long-term neurobiological impairments. These data support the fact that fetuses who receive combined environmental exposures with RF need special attention for protection.
孕妇暴露于射频(RF)设备会引起对其后代可能的健康后果的关注。我们研究了妊娠期 RF 对后代神经胶质稳态、感觉运动门控、情绪和寻求新奇性的危害阈值,并测试了母体免疫激活是否会增加 RF 毒性。怀孕的母鼠每天用邻近腹部的环形天线束缚(胎儿体特定吸收率(SAR):0、0.7 或 2.6 W/kg),并接受三次脂多糖(LPS)腹腔内注射(0 或 80 μg/kg)。在青春期和成年期评估了预脉冲惊跳抑制、恐惧条件反射、旷场和高架十字迷宫的评分。定量测定神经胶质原纤维酸性蛋白(GFAP)和白细胞介素-1β(ILs)。LPS 诱导了 SAR 依赖性的成年预脉冲惊跳抑制减少。在青春期,2.6 W/kg 时的旷场活动减少。GFAP 和 ILs、情绪记忆和焦虑相关行为没有改变。这些数据支持母体免疫激活增加了发育中 RF 暴露引起的长期神经生物学损伤的假设。这些数据支持这样一个事实,即接受 RF 与环境暴露相结合的胎儿需要特别注意保护。
