Abstract
We investigated the effects of 50 Hz extremely low-frequency magnetic fields (MFs) on gene expression related to the circadian rhythm or DNA damage signaling and whether these fields modify DNA damage repair rate after bleomycin treatment. Murine FDC-P1 hematopoietic cells were exposed for different durations (15 min, 2 h, 12 h, and 24 h) to either 200 μT MFs or sham-exposures. Cells were then collected for comet assay or real-time PCR to determine immediate DNA damage level and circadian rhythm gene expression, respectively. To assess DNA-damage signaling and DNA repair rate, the cells were subsequently treated with 20 μg/mL bleomycin for 1 h and then either assayed immediately or allowed to repair their DNA for 1 or 2 h. We found that circadian rhythm-related genes were upregulated after 12 h of MF exposure and downregulated after 24 h of MF exposure, but none of the affected genes were core genes controlling the circadian rhythm. In addition, we found that the repair rate for bleomycin-induced damage was only decreased after MF exposure for 24 h. In conclusion, our findings suggest that the effects of MFs are duration-dependent; they were observed predominantly after long exposures.
期刊介绍：
Mutation Research (MR) provides a platform for publishing all aspects of DNA mutations and epimutations, from basic evolutionary aspects to translational applications in genetic and epigenetic diagnostics and therapy. Mutations are defined as all possible alterations in DNA sequence and sequence organization, from point mutations to genome structural variation, chromosomal aberrations and aneuploidy. Epimutations are defined as alterations in the epigenome, i.e., changes in DNA methylation, histone modification and small regulatory RNAs.
MR publishes articles in the following areas:
Of special interest are basic mechanisms through which DNA damage and mutations impact development and differentiation, stem cell biology and cell fate in general, including various forms of cell death and cellular senescence.
The study of genome instability in human molecular epidemiology and in relation to complex phenotypes, such as human disease, is considered a growing area of importance.
Mechanisms of (epi)mutation induction, for example, during DNA repair, replication or recombination; novel methods of (epi)mutation detection, with a focus on ultra-high-throughput sequencing.
Landscape of somatic mutations and epimutations in cancer and aging.
Role of de novo mutations in human disease and aging; mutations in population genomics.
Interactions between mutations and epimutations.
The role of epimutations in chromatin structure and function.
Mitochondrial DNA mutations and their consequences in terms of human disease and aging.
Novel ways to generate mutations and epimutations in cell lines and animal models.
