Effects of exposure to a 1950 MHz radio frequency field on expression of Hsp70 and Hsp27 in human glioma cells med./bio.

Aim of study (acc. to author)

Endpoint

• molecular biosynthesis: activation of stress response genes

Exposure

• • mobile communications

Extended view Compact view

Methods Endpoint/measurement parameters/methodology

• molecular biosynthesis: activation of stress response genes (expression of HSP27 and HSP70; level of phosphorylated HSP27 (phosphorylation is suggested to be important for HSP27 function) (Western blot))
• cell viability/cell division/proliferation: cell growth/cell proliferation; cell number
• morphol./histopathol. changes: cell morphology (phase contrast microscopy)
• cellular localization of HSP27 (is known to be important for its function; immunofluorescent staining/fluorescence microscopy)

Main outcome of study (acc. to author)
