Long term and excessive use of 900 MHz radiofrequency radiation alter microRNA expression in brain

掲載誌: Int J Radiat Biol 2015; 91 (4): 306-311

この研究は、ウィスターアルビノ雄ラット(n=14)の脳組織のマイクロRNA(miRNAs)に対する900MHz携帯電話電磁界RF)の長期ばく露の影響を調べた。ばく露群、擬似ばく露群(各群n=7)に、900MHzのばく露(または擬似ばく露)を1日3時間、週7日、12ヶ月間与えた。全身平均SARは0.0369W/kg。ばく露終了直後に脳組織のmiRNAs(rno-miR-9-5p、rno-miR-29a-3p、rno-miR-106b-5p、rno-miR-107、rno-miR-125a-3p)を測定した。その結果、調べたmiRNAsのうちrno-miR107のみがばく露群で有意に低下した;その他のmiRNAsには変化がなかった、と報告している。

研究目的(著者による)

The effects of a chronic exposure of rats to a 900 MHz electromagnetic field on the expression of some microRNAs in the brain should be investigated.

詳細情報

MicroRNAs are small, non-coding RNA molecules, which play a critical role in gene regulation and could be related to the development of cancer and neurodegenerative diseases.
14 rats were divided into two groups (n=7 each): exposure and sham exposure.

研究の主なアウトカム(著者による)

The expression rate of rno-miR-107 was significantly reduced in the exposure group compared to sham exposure. The expression rates of the other investigated microRNAs were not significantly different in the two groups.
The authors conclude that a chronic exposure of rats to a 900 MHz electromagnetic field could influence the expression of some microRNAs in the brain.
