Static electromagnetic field and recombinant human fibroblasts encoding miR-451 and miR-16 increased cell trans-differentiation to CD and CD erythroid like progenitor.
This in vitro study tested whether daily exposure to a 10 mT ELF electromagnetic field, combined with miR-16 and miR-451 transfection, could enhance trans-differentiation of human dermal fibroblasts toward erythroid-like progenitors. The authors report increased erythroid-like differentiation with ELF-EMF exposure, with the highest CD and CD marker percentages in irradiated cells encoding miR-16 and miR-451. Several hematopoiesis-related genes increased with ELF-EMF treatment, while two genes did not differ significantly.
Key points
- Human dermal fibroblasts were transfected with miR-16 and/or miR-451 constructs and then exposed to ELF-EMF.
- Cells received 10 mT ELF-EMF for 20 minutes per day over 7 days.
- Flow cytometry was used to assess CD and CD marker expression as indicators of erythroid-like progenitors.
- The authors report increased differentiation toward erythroid-like progenitors in ELF-EMF-treated cells.
- The highest CD and CD percentages were reported in irradiated cells encoding both miR-16 and miR-451.
- RT-PCR showed increased expression of multiple hematopoiesis-related genes after ELF-EMF treatment, while two genes were unchanged.
