Absence of 60-Hz, 0.1-mT magnetic field-induced changes in oncogene transcription rates or levels in CEM- CM3 cells
Authors not listed · 1998
Exposure to a 60-Hz, 0.1-mT magnetic field did not change transcription rates or transcript levels of c-fos, c-jun, or c-myc in CEM-CM3 cells.
Plain English Summary
Researchers assessed whether a 60-Hz magnetic field at 0.1 mT could reproduce earlier reported transcription changes in c-fos, c-jun, and c-myc oncogenes in CEM-CM3 cells. Cells were exposed for 15, 30, 60, or 120 minutes to the field or to a sham condition with coils in bucking mode. Transcription rates measured by nuclear run-on assay and transcript levels measured by Northern analysis showed no significant difference between exposed and sham or control cells at any time point.
