The effects produced by electromagnetic fields (EMFs) on human beings at extremely low frequencies (ELFs) have being investigated in the past years, across in vitro studies, using different cell lines. Nevertheless, the effects produced on cells are not clarified, and the cellular mechanisms and cell-signaling processes involved are still unknown. This situation has resulted in a division among the scientific community about the adequacy of the recommended level of exposure. In this sense, we consider that it is necessary to develop long-term exposure studies and check if the recommended levels of EMFs are under thermal effects. Hence, we exposed CT2A cells to different EMFs at different ELFs at short and long times. Our results showed frequency dependence in CT2A exposed during 24 h to a small EMF of 30 μT equal to those originated by the Earth and frequency dependence after the exposure during seven days to an EMF of 100 µT at different ELFs. Particularly, our results showed a remarkable cell viability decrease of CT2A cells exposed to EMFs of 30 Hz. Nevertheless, after analyzing the thermal effects in terms of HSP90 expression, we did not find thermal damages related to the differences in cell viability, so other crucial cellular mechanism should be involved.
在过去的几年中,已经在体外研究中研究了极低频率(ELF)电磁场(EMF)对人类的影响,使用了不同的细胞系。然而,细胞上产生的影响尚不清楚,涉及的细胞机制和细胞信号转导过程仍然未知。这种情况导致科学界在推荐的暴露水平是否足够的问题上产生了分歧。在这方面,我们认为有必要开展长期暴露研究,并检查 EMF 的推荐水平是否低于热效应。因此,我们在短时间和长时间内将 CT2A 细胞暴露于不同的 EMF 于不同的 ELF 下。我们的结果表明,在暴露于 30 μT 的小 EMF 24 小时后,CT2A 细胞表现出频率依赖性,与地球产生的频率依赖性相同,在暴露于 100 μT 的 EMF 7 天后,在不同的 ELF 下也表现出频率依赖性。特别是,我们的结果表明,暴露于 30 Hz 的 EMF 的 CT2A 细胞的细胞活力显着下降。然而,在根据 HSP90 表达分析热效应后,我们没有发现与细胞活力差异相关的热损伤,因此应该涉及其他关键的细胞机制。
