Proteomic analysis on the alteration of protein expression in the early-stage placental villous tissue of electromagnetic fields associated with cell phone exposure

掲載誌: Reprod Sci 2013; 20 (9): 1055-1061

この研究は、正常な妊娠後、心理的理由により妊娠約50日での中絶手術を予定する女性40人を2群(ばく露群、擬似ばく露群;各20人)に分け、手術の20分前に、下腹部に市販の携帯電話からの電磁界ばく露(または擬似ばく露)を1時間与え、その後に摘出した胎盤絨毛組織でのタンパク質発現変化を調べた。携帯電話を腹部の臍から10cm離して置き、SARは1.6から8.8 W/kgであったと記している。タンパク質プロファイルの変化を2次元電気泳動解析により調べた。その結果、ばく露群では泳動パターン上の最大15箇所で、擬似ばく露群に比べ2倍から2.5倍の上昇または低下の有意な変化があった;変化した12種のタンパク質が同定された、と報告している。

研究目的(著者による)

To investigate the possible changes induced by the exposure to a radiofrequency electromagnetic field in protein expression profile in human chorionic villous tissue (part of the placenta) of early pregnancy.

詳細情報

The women, gestational age about 50-60 days, were randomly divided into an exposure and a control group. After 20 minutes of exposure, an abortion was performed and the chorionic villous tissue was taken through the cervix. Tissue, collected from 6 exposed women and from 6 control women, was taken for proteome analysis.
The women underwent terminations of the pregnancies for psychological reasons.

研究の主なアウトカム(著者による)

Approximately, 2000 spots were detected in the two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. Among them, 9 proteins of the exposed group were significantly down-regulated and 6 proteins were significantly up-regulated compared to the control group. Out of these 15 spots, 12 proteins were identified. The protein expression of 3 proteins was verified using Western blot.
The authors conclude that electromagnetic fields from cell phones could alter the protein expression profile of chorionic villous tissue of the early pregnancy.
