[マイクロ波と細胞性免疫:その1 マウス細胞のでTNF産出に対する全身マイクロ波放射の影響] med./bio.

Microwaves and cellular immunity. I. Effect of whole body microwave irradiation on tumor necrosis factor production in mouse cells

掲載誌: Bioelectrochem Bioenerg 1999; 49 (1): 29-35

1μW/cm2電力密度で8.15-18 GHzでオスのNMRIマウスを全身マイクロ波放射すると、腹膜マクロファージ脾臓Tリンパ球にTNF産出の大きな増加をもたらされた。マイクロ波放射はT細胞に影響を与え、細胞分裂刺激への反応を促進するように働く。細胞性免疫刺激に必要なばく露期間は5時間から3日である。7日間の慢性的にばく露させたマウスは、腹膜マクロファージにおいてTNF生産を減少させた。24時間ばく露では、TNF生産と免疫反応を減少させた。ばく露停止3日後もこの症状は続いた。マイクロ波の処置はサイトカイン合成の刺激の一つであるリポ多糖体と比べると、TNFはより増えた。細胞免疫プロセスを干渉する要因としてのマイクロ波の役割を述べている。

General information

A total of 45 and 60 animals were exposed in E1 and E2, respectively. The same numbers of animals were used for cage control. In both experiments, 10 animals were sham irradiated and 10 were untreated. The procedure was double blind.

研究の主なアウトカム(著者による)

Whole body microwave irradiation caused a significant enhancement of tumor necrosis factor production in peritoneal macrophages and splenic T lymphocytes. Microwave exposure affected T cells, facilitating their capacity to proliferate in response to mitogenic stimulation. The irradiation duration necessary for the stimulation of cellular immunity ranged from 5 h to 3 days.
Chronic exposure for 7 days produced the decreasing of tumor necrosis factor production in macrophages.
The irradiation of the animals for 24 h increased the tumor necrosis factor production and immune proliferative response, and these stimulatory effects persisted over 3 days after the termination of exposure.
Microwave treatment increased the endogenously produced tumor necrosis factor more effectively than did lipopolysaccharide (one of the most potential stimuli of synthesis of this cytokine).
