Free Radical Release and HSP70 Expression in Two Human Immune-Relevant Cell Lines after Exposure to 1800 MHz Radiofrequency Radiation.

View Original AbstractNo significant differences in free radical production were detected after RF EMF exposure, and no significant effects on HSP70 expression were found.
Plain English Summary
Heat and PMA treatment significantly increased superoxide radical anions and ROS production in Mono Mac 6 cells. No significant differences in free radical production were detected after RF EMF exposure compared to controls. The GSM-DTX signal at 2 W/kg showed a significant difference versus sham due to a decreasing sham value, but this difference disappeared when compared to incubator controls. No significant effects on HSP70 expression were detected after RF EMF exposures.
Why This Matters
The study aimed to test whether 1800 MHz RF EMF exposure causes free radical production or HSP70 expression in human immune-relevant cell lines. The researchers examined HSP70 expression as a possible inhibitor of free radical production after various RF EMF exposures.
Exposure Details
- SAR
- 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 W/kg
- Source/Device
- 1800 MHz
Exposure Context
This study used 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 W/kg for SAR (device absorption):
- 1.3x above the Building Biology guideline of 0.4 W/kg

Where This Falls on the Concern Scale
Study Details
The goal of this study was to investigate whether radiofrequency (RF) electromagnetic-field (EMF) exposure at 1800 MHz causes production of free radicals and/or expression of heat-shock proteins (HSP70) in human immune-relevant cell systems.

To determine the involvement of heat-shock proteins as a possible inhibitor of free radical production, we investigated the HSP70 expression level after different RF EMF exposures; no significant effects were detected
