Aging is a risk factor for various human disorders, including cancer. Current literature advocates that the primary principles of aging depend on the endogenous stress-induced DNA damage caused by reactive oxygen species 50 Hz low-frequency magnetic field was suggested to induce DNA damage and chromosomal instability. NF-kB, activated by DNA damage, is upregulated in age-related cancers and inhibition of NF-kB results in aging-related delayed pathologies. Metformin (Met), an NF-kB inhibitor, significantly reduces both NF-kB activation and expression in aging and cancer. This in vitro study, therefore, was set out to assess the effects of 5mT MF in 50 Hz frequency and Met treatment on the viability and proliferation of aged mouse NIH/3T3 fibroblasts and expression of RELA/p65, matrix metalloproteinases MMP2 and MMP9, and E-cadherin (CDH1) genes. The trypan blue exclusion assay was used to determine cell viability and the BrdU incorporation assay to determine cell proliferation. The MMP-2/9 protein analysis was carried out by immunocytochemistry, NF-kB activity by ELISA and the expressions of targeted genes by qRT-PCR methods. Four doses of Met (500 uM, 1 mM, 2 mM and 10 mM) suppressed both the proliferation and viability of fibroblasts exposed to the MF in a dose-dependent pattern, and the peak inhibition was recorded at the 10 mM dose. Met reduced the expression of NF-kB, and MMP2/9, elevated CDH1 expression and suppressed NF-kB activity. These findings suggest that Met treatment suppresses the carcinogenic potential of 50 Hz MFs in aged mouse fibroblasts, possibly through modulation of NF-kB activation and epithelial-mesenchymal transition modulation.
衰老是各种人类疾病的一个风险因素,包括癌症。目前的文献主张,衰老的主要原则取决于内源性应激诱导的 DNA 损伤,由活性氧引起。50 Hz 低频磁场被认为会导致 DNA 损伤和染色体不稳定性。NF-kB 被 DNA 损伤激活,在与年龄相关的癌症中上调,NF-kB 的抑制导致与年龄相关的迟发性病变。二甲双胍(Met)是一种 NF-kB 抑制剂,可显著降低衰老和癌症中 NF-kB 的激活和表达。因此,本体外研究旨在评估 5mT MF 在 50 Hz 频率和 Met 治疗对衰老的 NIH/3T3 小鼠成纤维细胞活力和增殖的影响,以及 RELA/p65、基质金属蛋白酶 MMP2 和 MMP9 和 E-钙粘蛋白(CDH1)基因的表达。台盼蓝排除试验用于测定细胞活力,BrdU 掺入试验用于测定细胞增殖。免疫细胞化学法分析 MMP-2/9 蛋白,ELISA 法测定 NF-kB 活性,qRT-PCR 法测定靶向基因的表达。四种剂量的 Met(500 μM、1 mM、2 mM 和 10 mM)以剂量依赖性方式抑制暴露于 MF 的成纤维细胞的增殖和活力,在 10 mM 剂量时记录到最大抑制。Met 降低了 NF-kB 和 MMP2/9 的表达,增加了 CDH1 的表达,并抑制了 NF-kB 活性。这些发现表明,Met 治疗可抑制 50 Hz MF 在衰老的小鼠成纤维细胞中的致癌潜力,可能通过调节 NF-kB 激活和上皮-间充质转化的调节。
