The potential for power frequency magnetic fields to enhance neoplastic transformation has been investigated in vitro using promotion-sensitive mouse epidermal JB6 cells. In a soft agar assay, 60-Hz magnetic fields of 0.01, 0.1, 1.0, or 1.1 mT flux density did not induce anchorage-independent growth. In addition, these magnetic fields did not enhance tumor promoter-induced transformation showing no increase in the maximum number of transformed colonies and no shift in the dose-response curve. Thus, these data do not support the notion that environmental exposures to magnetic fields contribute to transformation.
利用对促癌敏感的小鼠表皮JB6细胞,在体外研究了工频磁场增强肿瘤转化的可能性。在软琼脂试验中,通量密度为0.01、0.1、1.0或1.1 mT的60 Hz磁场未诱导非贴壁依赖性生长。此外,这些磁场并未增强肿瘤启动子诱导的转化,未显示转化集落的最大数量增加,剂量反应曲线也未发生偏移。因此,这些数据不支持环境暴露于磁场会导致转化这一观点。
