Problems of weak electromagnetic field effects in cell biology

Electrostimulations of cells by weak electric or electromagnetic LF and HF-fields are applied widely today; capacitively or inductively coupled, however, they are seldom applied for cell-free and membrane-free solutions of enzymes. First, the detection of a response of the cells ('electrical wi...

520 |a Electrostimulations of cells by weak electric or electromagnetic LF and HF-fields are applied widely today; capacitively or inductively coupled, however, they are seldom applied for cell-free and membrane-free solutions of enzymes. First, the detection of a response of the cells ('electrical window') is a prerequisite for testing at least three parameters: frequency, amplitude and treatment time, besides reproducible biological conditions. The 'state-of-the-art' of this fast developing direction of bioelectrochemistry can be characterized in the following way: the results from several laboratories of (a) cell proliferation, (b) ion transport, (c) activation of several enzymes (Na,K-ATPase), (d) increase of certain protein concentrations (heat-shock protein hsp70) are more or less in agreement. Unfortunately, there are discrepancies between no less than 7 labs in the gene expression of c-myc, c-fos histone 2B, -actin, URA-3 and others, especially for low fields (< 0.05 mT), e.g., in HL60 cells! The reason why seems to be: (1) differences in the most suitable isolation procedure, (2) interferences in the case of too low magnetic flux and (3) too small ranges of parameters have been measured. Today, three open problems must be pointed out: (A) What is the physiological causality for specific 'electrical windows' and their positive or negative efficacy? (B) What are the biochemical targets for either magnetic or electric fields or both? (C) What is the influence of electrical and (or) thermal noise on field efficiency?
