Effect of electromagnetic fields on the chondrogenic differentiation under microgravity conditions

ABSTRACT: A combination therapy of electromagnetic fields (EMF) and simulated microgravity (SMG) has not been examined in regenerative medicine of cartilage. In the present study, a bioreactor system using extremely low-frequency EMF and SMG was applied during the chondrogenic differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs). It was hypothesized that a beneficial effect of EMF regarding chondrogenesis (COL2A) could be combined with an avoiding effect of SMG regarding hypertrophy (COLXA1) of cartilage. Pellet cultures of hMSCs formed cartilaginous tissue under the addition of growth factors (FGF; TGF-β3). Pure SMG reduced COLXA1 expression but also COL2A expression of hMSCs. Pure EMF showed no gene expression changes of hMSCs during chondrogenic differentiation. Combining EMF/SMG resulted in a re-increase of COL2A but did not reach control levels. The COL2A to COLXA1 ratio of combined EMF/SMG was not significantly different from control levels. The combination therapy of EMF/SMG did not significantly improve the chondrogenic potential of hMSCs.

Extremely low frequency electromagnetic fields enhance neuronal differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells on graphene-based substrate

Project description:Graphene-based substrate has efficient neuronal differentiation of hMSCs. Stimulatory effects of graphene on hMSCs neurogenesis can be enhanced by ELF-EMF exposure and it is mediated by enhancement of cell adhesion accompanied by intracellular signal pathway. We used microarrays to assess up-regulated genes in human gene expression profiles during neurogenesis induced by ELF-EMF exposure on graphene. 3 groups (HMSCs grown in neuronal medium on glass, graphene, graphene under ELF-EMF exposure) were selected for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. We sought to obtain total human gene expression. To that end, we hand-selected up-regulated gene involved in neurogenesis, extracellular matrix, and cell migration.

Effects of global system for mobile communications 1800 MHz radiofrequency electromagnetic fields on gene expression in MCF-7 cells

Effects of global system for mobile communications 1800 MHz radiofrequency electromagnetic fields on gene expression in MCF-7 cells

Project description:Despite many studies over a decade, it still remains ambiguous as to the real biological effects induced by radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF EMF). Epidemiological studies indicates that long-term exposure to EMF could increase the risk of breast cancer. Some reports have showed that in vitro EMF exposures change cellular gene expression. In this study, we investigated global gene expression responses to RF EMF simulating the Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) 1800 MHz signal in human breast cancer cell line MCF-7 using transcriptomic approaches. MCF-7 cells were intermittently (5 min fields on/10 min fields off) exposed to RF EMF at an average specific absorption rate (SAR) of 2.0 W/kg (2 W/kg exposure group) or sham-exposed (2 W/kg control group) for 24 h, or exposed to RF EMF at a higher level of 3.5 W/kg (3.5 W/kg exposure group) or sham-exposed (3.5 W/kg control group).

Extremely low frequency electromagnetic fields (ELF-EMFs) effect on the genetic expression profile of a human keratinocyte line (HaCaT)

Project description:Clinical evidence has shown that electromagnetic fields produce a benefical therapeutic result for wounds, however little is still known about their exact mechanism of action. Moreover, clinical results concerning skin tissue restoration are still debated. In the present study, we carried out gene expression profiling of a human keratinocyte line (HaCaT) submitted to 1 hour of ELF-EMF (frequency 50Hz, intensity 1 mT) in order to identify up- and downregulated genes by this stimulus, and to verify the presence of specific molecular pathways activation. Most of the genes modulated were involved in mechanisms such as protein synthesis. In particular, these genes are related to Mammalian target of Rapamycin (mTOR), which has been identified as a kinase with a pivotal role in cellular proliferation and survival in mammals. In this study, we analyzed the expression profiles of 3 biological replicates of HaCaT cells exposed to ELF-EMF (frequency 50Hz, intensity 1 mT) for 1 hour. All HaCaT cells exposed to ELF-EMF RNAs were hybridized against control sham-exposed HaCaT cells RNAs. Each biological sample was repeated with a technical replicate (extraction-labeling) and a dye-swap experiment.

Electromagnetic field-mediated direct lineage reprogramming into induced dopamine neurons in vivo for Parkinson’s disease therapy [microarray2]

Project description:Electromagnetic fields (EMF) are physical energy generated by electrically charged objects that can influence numerous biologic processes, including control of cell fate and plasticity. In this study, we show that magnetic gold nanoparticles in the presence of EMF can facilitate efficient direct lineage reprogramming to induced dopamine neurons both in vitro and in vivo. Remarkably, electromagnetic stimulation leads to the specific activation of the histone acetyl transferase Brd2, resulting in H3K27 acetylation and robust activation of neuronal-specific gene expression. In vivo reprogramming in conjunction with EMF stimulation efficiently alleviated symptoms in a mouse model of Parkinson’s disease (PD) in a noninvasive and controllable manner. These studies provide a proof of principle that EMF-based approaches may represent a viable and safe therapeutic strategy facilitating in vivo lineage conversion for neurodegenerative disorders.
