Static magnetic field controls cell cycle in cultured human glioblastoma cells.

ABSTRACT: Magnetic field has been widely used in clinical diagnostics or for clinical treatment and is an important biomedical technology. Glioblastoma multiforme U87 and U251 are models of a fast growing malignant cancer. We focused on cellular level drafting of these cell lines as a time-dependent effect indicator of static magnetic fields (2000 ± 600 Gauss) by using their fast-growing properties. Cell viability showed a significant decrease (p < 0.01). The results coincided with the occurrence of apoptotic signals or protein expression of cyclin B1 and cyclin dependent kinase 1 in a non-apoptotic manner. Cdk1 was decreased in proportion to ankyrin G and cyclin B1 (Chi-square test, p = 0.0366). Our findings suggest that static magnetic stimulation creates a specific cyto-proliferative pattern, rather than producing randomized growth impairment.

Static Magnetic Field Effect on Cell Alignment, Growth, and Differentiation in Human Cord-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells.

Project description:This investigation is performed to evaluate the impact of static magnetic field on the Cell growth alignment, and differentiation potential in Human Mesenchymal Stem cells derived from human newborn cords. In vitro-cultured mesenchymal stem cells derived from human newborn cords were exposed to SMF up to 24 mT and compared with the control (unexposed) cultures. Viability was assessed via Trypan Blue staining and MTT assay. Cell cycle progression was studied after flow cytometry data analysis. Sox-2, Nanong, and Oct-4 Primers used for RT-PCR experiment. Morphological studies showed that the exposed cells were significantly aligned in parallel bundles in a correlation with the magnetic field lines. Viability measurements showed a significant reduction in cell viability which was noted after exposure to static magnetic field and initiated 36 h after the end of exposure time. Flow cytometric data analysis confirmed a decrease in G1 phase cell population within the treated and cultured groups compared with the corresponding control samples. However, the induced changes were recovered in the cell cultures after the post-exposure culture recovery time which may be attributed to the cellular repair mechanisms. Furthermore, the proliferation rate and Oct-4 gene expression were reduced due to the 18 mT static magnetic field exposure. The significant proliferation rate decrease accompanied by the Sox-2, Nanong, and Oct-4 gene expression decline, suggested the differentiation inducing effects of SMF exposure. Exposure to Static Magnetic fields up to 24 mT affects mesenchymal stem cell alignment and proliferation rate as well as mRNA expression of Sox-2, Nanong, and Oct-4 genes, therefore can be considered as a new differentiation inducer in addition to the other stimulators.

Transcriptome profiles of differentiated mouse embryonic stem cells cultured in normal condition and static magnetic field condition by RNA-seq analysisanalysis

Project description:Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) have the ability to differentiate into cells of the three germ layers, and leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) maintains the pluripotency and promotes the proliferation of ESCs. In the absence of LIF, ESCs spontaneously differentiate and form three-dimensional aggregates known as embryoid bodies (EBs). The differentiation of EBs mimics the process of embryonic development, that is, the differentiation of cells into the three embryonic germ layers (endoderm, mesoderm, and ectoderm), some of which differentiate into beating cardiomyocytes. Static magnetic fields have diverse effects on organisms, studies on the regulation of the differentiation of ESCs to cardiomyocytes by static magnetic fields are not sufficient. To better understand transcriptional landscape and signal transductions, we performed RNA-seq analysis of EBs cultured in two different conditions: conventional incubator, static magnetic field incubator.

Effects of magnetite nanoparticles and static magnetic field on neural differentiation of pluripotent stem cells

Project description:Neural proliferation and differentiation fates of pluripotent stem cells are influenced by external natural forces. Despite the presence of biogenic magnetite nanoparticles in the central nervous system and constant exposure to Earth’s magnetic fields and other sources, there has been scant knowledge regarding the role of electromagnetic stimuli in neurogenesis. Moreover, the emerging application of electrical and magnetic stimulation to treat neurological disorders emphasizes the relevance of understanding the impact and mechanisms behind these stimuli. Here, the effects of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) contained in polymeric coatings and the static external magnetic field (EMF, 0.4 Tesla) were investigated on neural induction of murine embryonic stem cells (mESCs) and human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) into induced dopaminergic neurons (iDA).

Field Distribution of Transcranial Static Magnetic Stimulation in Realistic Human Head Model.

Project description:OBJECTIVE:The objective of this work was to characterize the magnetic field (B-field) that arises in a human brain model from the application of transcranial static magnetic field stimulation (tSMS). MATERIALS AND METHODS:The spatial distribution of the B-field magnitude and gradient of a cylindrical, 5.08 cm × 2.54 cm NdFeB magnet were simulated in air and in a human head model using the finite element method and calibrated with measurements in air. The B-field was simulated for magnet placements over prefrontal, motor, sensory, and visual cortex targets. The impact of magnetic susceptibility of head tissues on the B-field was quantified. RESULTS:Peak B-field magnitude and gradient respectively ranged from 179-245 mT and from 13.3-19.0 T/m across the cortical targets. B-field magnitude, focality, and gradient decreased with magnet-cortex distance. The variation in B-field strength and gradient across the anatomical targets largely arose from the magnet-cortex distance. Head magnetic susceptibilities had negligible impact on the B-field characteristics. The half-maximum focality of the tSMS B-field ranged from 7-12 cm3 . SIGNIFICANCE:This is the first presentation and characterization of the three-dimensional (3D) spatial distribution of the B-field generated in a human brain model by tSMS. These data can provide quantitative dosing guidance for tSMS applications across various cortical targets and subjects. The finding that the B-field gradient is high near the magnet edges should be considered in studies where neural tissue is placed close to the magnet. The observation that susceptibility has negligible effects confirms assumptions in the literature.

27 T ultra-high static magnetic field changes orientation and morphology of mitotic spindles in human cells.

Project description:Purified microtubules have been shown to align along the static magnetic field (SMF) in vitro because of their diamagnetic anisotropy. However, whether mitotic spindle in cells can be aligned by magnetic field has not been experimentally proved. In particular, the biological effects of SMF of above 20 T (Tesla) have never been reported. Here we found that in both CNE-2Z and RPE1 human cells spindle orients in 27 T SMF. The direction of spindle alignment depended on the extent to which chromosomes were aligned to form a planar metaphase plate. Our results show that the magnetic torque acts on both microtubules and chromosomes, and the preferred direction of spindle alignment relative to the field depends more on chromosome alignment than microtubules. In addition, spindle morphology was also perturbed by 27 T SMF. This is the first reported study that investigated the cellular responses to ultra-high magnetic field of above 20 T. Our study not only found that ultra-high magnetic field can change the orientation and morphology of mitotic spindles, but also provided a tool to probe the role of spindle orientation and perturbation in developmental and cancer biology.

Static magnetic field attenuates lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammation in pulp cells by affecting cell membrane stability.

Project description:One of the causes of dental pulpitis is lipopolysaccharide- (LPS-) induced inflammatory response. Following pulp tissue inflammation, odontoblasts, dental pulp cells (DPCs), and dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) will activate and repair damaged tissue to maintain homeostasis. However, when LPS infection is too serious, dental repair is impossible and disease may progress to irreversible pulpitis. Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine whether static magnetic field (SMF) can attenuate inflammatory response of dental pulp cells challenged with LPS. In methodology, dental pulp cells were isolated from extracted teeth. The population of DPSCs in the cultured DPCs was identified by phenotypes and multilineage differentiation. The effects of 0.4 T SMF on DPCs were observed through MTT assay and fluorescent anisotropy assay. Our results showed that the SMF exposure had no effect on surface markers or multilineage differentiation capability. However, SMF exposure increases cell viability by 15%. In addition, SMF increased cell membrane rigidity which is directly related to higher fluorescent anisotropy. In the LPS-challenged condition, DPCs treated with SMF demonstrated a higher tolerance to LPS-induced inflammatory response when compared to untreated controls. According to these results, we suggest that 0.4 T SMF attenuates LPS-induced inflammatory response to DPCs by changing cell membrane stability.

The Effects of Static Magnetic Fields on Human Embryonic Cells

Project description:This study provides a framework describing how magnetic exposure is transduced from the most-plausible molecular-level ‘biosensor’ (lipid membranes) to cell-level responses that include differentiation toward neural lineages. In addition, SMF provided a stimulus that uncovered new relationships – that exist even in the absence of magnetic fields – between gangliosides, the time dependent regulation of IL-6 signaling by these glycolipids, and the fate of embryonic cells.

Cell type- and density-dependent effect of 1 T static magnetic field on cell proliferation.

Project description:Increasing evidence shows that static magnetic fields (SMFs) can affect cell proliferation but mixed results have been reported. Here we systematically examined the effects of 1 T (Tesla) SMF, which is close to the SMF intensity that patients are exposed to MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scanners in hospitals, for its effect on 15 different cell lines, including 12 human and 3 rodent cell lines. Our results show that 1 T SMF does not have apparent impact on cell cycle or cell death. However, at higher cell density, it reduced cell numbers in six out of seven solid human cancer cell lines. We found that both cell type and cell density had evident impacts on SMF effects. Moreover, the EGFR-Akt-mTOR pathway, which varies significantly between different cell types and densities, contributes to the differential effects of SMF. In addition, SMF also increases the efficacy of Akt inhibitors on cancer cell growth inhibition. Therefore 1 T SMF affects cell proliferation in a cell type- and cell density-dependent manner, and the inhibition effect of 1 T SMF on multiple cancer cells at higher cell density may indicate its clinical potential in late stage cancer therapy.

Strong static magnetic field delayed the early development of zebrafish.

Project description:One of the major topics in magnetobiology is the biological effects of strong static magnetic field (SMF) on living organisms. However, there has been a paucity of the comprehensive study of the long-term effects of strong SMF on an animal's development. Here, we explored this question with zebrafish, an excellent model organism for developmental study. In our research, zebrafish eggs, just after fertilization, were exposed to a 9.0 T SMF for 24 h, the critical period of post-fertilization development from cleavage to segmentation. The effects of strong SMF exposure on the following developmental progress of zebrafish were studied until 6 days post-fertilization (dpf). Results showed that 9.0 T SMF exposure did not influence the survival or the general developmental scenario of zebrafish embryos. However, it slowed down the developmental pace of the whole animal, and the late developers would catch up with their control peers after the SMF was removed. We proposed a mechanical model and deduced that the development delaying effect was caused by the interference of SMF in microtubule and spindle positioning during mitosis, especially in early cleavages. Our research data provide insights into how strong SMF influences the developing organisms through basic physical interactions with intracellular macromolecules.

A Static Magnetic Field Inhibits the Migration and Telomerase Function of Mouse Breast Cancer Cells.

Project description:Static magnetic field (SMF) has a potential as a cancer therapeutic modality due to its specific inhibitory effects on the proliferation of multiple cancer cells. However, the underlying mechanism remains unclear, and just a few studies have examined the effects of SMF on metastasis, an important concern in cancer treatment. In this study, we evaluated the effects of moderate SMF (~150?mT) on the proliferation and migration of 4T1 breast cancer cells. Our results showed that SMF treatment accelerated cell proliferation but inhibited cell migration. Further, SMF treatment shortened the telomere length, decreased telomerase activity, and inhibited the expression of the cancer-specific marker telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT), which may be related to expression upregulation of e2f1, a transcription repressor of TERT and positive regulator of the mitotic cell cycle. Our results revealed that SMF repressed both, cell migration and telomerase function. The telomerase network is responsive to SMF and may be involved in SMF-mediated cancer-specific effects; moreover, it may function as a therapeutic target in magnetic therapy of cancers.
