Microglial activation as a measure of stress in mouse brains exposed acutely (60 minutes) and long-term (2 years) to mobile telephone radiofrequency fields

掲載誌: Pathology 2010; 42 (2): 151-154

この研究は、マウス脳のミクログリア活性化に対する携帯電話無線周波RF磁界の急性又は長期ばく露の影響を調べた。携帯電話の遠方電磁界への全身ばく露SAR=4 W/kg)を、急性ばく露実験は60分間ばく露1回、長期ばく露実験は1日60分間、1週に5日連続、104週間とした。両実験とも、ばく露群(n=10)、擬似ばく露群(n=10)、ケージ対照群(n=10)で行い、ミクログリア活性化のポジティブコントロールには麻酔下で刺傷を与えた。この結果、急性ばく露・長期ばく露のどちらでも、ミクログリア特異的カルシウム結合タンパク質Iba1の発現が、擬似ばく露群、ケージ対照群に比べて上昇することはなかった、と報告している。

研究目的(著者による)

To study whether acute (60 min) or long-term (five days per week, 104 weeks) exposure of the mouse brain to mobile phone radiofrequency fields produces activation of microglia, which normally respond rapidly to any change in their microenvironment.

詳細情報

Microglia is considered as a specialised form in the central nervous system. In response to a variety of insults, microglia adopts an activated phenotype. Microglia activation plays a pivotal role in the initiation and progression of several neurodegenerative diseases.
30 mice were divided into three groups: 1) exposure group (n=10; remark of EMF-Portal editor: number of animals (distribution) in the acute and long-term exposure group unclear), 2) sham exposure group (n=10) and 3) cage control (n=10). Positive controls were also included (stab wound treatment).

研究の主なアウトカム(著者による)

There was no increase in microglial Iba1 expression in brains of short or long-term exposed mice compared to the controls (sham exposed or cage control), while substantial microglial activation occurred in damaged positive control neural tissue.
The authors conclude that an acute or longer duration exposure of murine brains to mobile phone radiofrequency electromagnetic fields did not produce any microglial activation detectable by Iba1 immunostaining.
