A 1.8-GHz radiofrequency radiation induces EGF receptor clustering and phosphorylation in cultured human amniotic (FL) cells

掲載誌: Int J Radiat Biol 2012; 88 (3): 239-244

この研究では、比吸収率SAR)が0.1から4.0W/kgの1.8GHzの無線周波放射(RFR)への15分間のばく露が、ヒト羊膜(FL)細胞における上皮成長因子(EGF)受容体のクラスタリングとリン酸化に対する影響を調べた。その結果から、膜受容体はRFRが細胞と相互作用する主なターゲットの一つになり得るかも知れないこと、またEGF受容体の場合、ばく露量率の閾値は0.1と0.5W/kgの間にある、と結論している。

研究の主なアウトカム(著者による)

The data showed that, compared with sham exposure, radiofrequency exposure at specific absorption rate of 0.5, 1, 2, or 4 W/kg for 15 minutes significantly induced EGF receptor clustering and enhanced phosphorylation on the tyrosine-1173 residue in amniotic cells, whereas exposure to a SAR of 0.1 W/kg did not cause a significant effect. However, the results showed also that there was no additional significant increase in effects at intensities higher than 0.5 W/kg.
Based on these findings, the authors conclude that membrane receptors could be one of the main targets that radiofrequency exposure interacts with cells, and the dose-rate threshold, in the case of EGF receptors, is between SAR of 0.1 and 0.5 W/kg.
