この研究は、虚血性脳卒中後の神経保護に対する低周波パルス電磁界(LF-PEMF)の影響を調べるため、光血栓性閉塞後のC57B6系統のマウスを60Hz、10mTのLF-PEMFにばく露した。LF-PEMF処理群および非処理群の両方の虚血性脳卒中マウスで、BDNF/TrkB/Aktシグナル伝達経路、アポトーシス促進性および生存促進性のタンパク質および遺伝子の発現、炎症性メディエーターを測定し、行動学的検査を実施した。その結果、LF-PEMF処理はBDNF/TrkB/Aktシグナル伝達経路の活性化を促進した。その後、LF-PEMF処理後の虚血性脳卒中マウスで、生存促進性タンパク質が有意に増加したが、アポトーシス促進性タンパク質及び炎症性メディエーターは減少した。著者らは、この結果はLF-PEMFばく露には虚血性脳卒中後のマウスの回復過程における神経保護効果があることを証明した、と結論付けている。

The neuroprotective effects and mechanisms of action of exposure of mice to a pulsed 60 Hz magnetic field after ischemic stroke should be investigated.
Ischemic strokes were experimentally induced in male mice. After the stroke, mice were divided into 2 groups (n=18 each): 1) exposure to the magnetic field and 2) sham exposure. Mice from each group were killed after 1, 3 and 14 days of exposure (remark EMF-Portal: respective numbers were not stated).

Exposed mice had significantly longer rotarod times compared to sham exposed mice, indicating better motoric functions.
Previous studies suggested that BDNF and protein kinase C play a central role in neuroprotection, which was confirmed in this study by a significantly increased expression of BDNF, TrkB and phosphorylated protein kinase B in exposed mice compared to sham exposed mice after 3 and 14 days. This resulted further in a significant decrease of gene expression and protein expression of pro-apoptotic Bad, Bax, caspase 3 and a significant increase of anti-apoptotic Bcl-xL expression in the exposure group compared to the sham exposure group.
Moreover, the protein expression of inflammatory mediators MMP9 and IL-1β was significantly decreased in exposed mice compared to sham exposed mice after 3 and 14 days of exposure.
The authors conclude that exposure of mice to a pulsed 60 Hz magnetic field might have a neuroprotective effect after ischemic stroke via suppression of inflammation and apoptosis. They propose that low frequency pulsed electromagnetic fields may be beneficial as a treatment during recovery after ischemic stroke.
