This study investigated the molecular mechanisms underlying these effects, focusing on ferroptosis, a form of regulated cell death implicated in bone pathologies, and the role of Activating Transcription Factor 4 (ATF4). Through comprehensive bioinformatic analyses of public gene expression databases, we identified significant correlations between differentially expressed genes and biological processes associated with lipid metabolism and ferroptosis. MC3T3-E1 osteoblasts were subjected to systematic evaluation under four distinct experimental conditions: a sham-exposed control group and three treatment groups exposed to calibrated RF radiation intensities - low (LRF, 50μW/cm2), moderate (MRF, 150μW/cm2), and high (HRF,450μW/cm2). To elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying RF-induced ferroptosis, both ATF4 knockdown and overexpression experiments were performed. The findings indicated that RF radiation at 150μW/cm2 elicited the most pronounced effects, characterized by reduced osteoblast viability, elevated lipid peroxidation, disrupted redox balance, impaired mitochondrial function, and disturbances in iron homeostasis. Notably, Atf4 knockdown exacerbated these deleterious effects, while its overexpression conferred protection against RF radiation-induced cellular damage. This study demonstrates the crucial role of ATF4 modulation in RF radiation-induced ferroptosis in osteoblasts, a process potentially contributing to bone disorders such as osteoporosis and impaired fracture healing. These findings suggest that targeting ATF4 may represent a promising therapeutic approach to mitigate the effects of RF radiation on bone health, thereby opening new avenues for intervention in environmentally influenced skeletal disorders.","PeriodicalId":50544,"journal":{"name":"Electromagnetic Biology and Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"1-15"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-08-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144884231","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A total of 49 female Wistar albino rats were randomly divided into 7 groups(n = 7 per group): Control, Sham, LPS, LPS+AGM,LPS+RF,AGM+RF, and LPS+AGM+RF. Animals in the RF groups were exposed to a 2600 MHz field (1 h/day for 15 days). The whole-body averaged SAR was calculated to be 0.637 W/kg, while the localized SAR values were found to be 1.27 W/kg for 1 g and 0.91 W/kg for 10 g of brain tissue at a frequency of 2600 MHz. Chronic LPS administration(1 mg/kg/day for 15 days) successfully induced a systemic inflammatory state. The most significant finding was observed in plasma IL-6 levels. While AGM or RF exposure alone did not significantly alter IL-6 levels in LPS-treated animals, the combined treatment of LPS+AGM+RF resulted in a substantial and statistically significant decrease in plasma IL-6 compared to the sham group(p < 0.001). This represents a large-magnitude effect (Cohen's d = 1.59), suggesting a potent anti-inflammatory action of the combined therapy. In contrast, plasma IL-1β and TNF-α levels showed no statistically significant differences among any of the groups. In the hypothalamus, chronic LPS exposure was associated with a downregulation of MAP kinase signaling pathways (ERK, JNK), indicative of endotoxin tolerance, and with reduced NF-κB level. This study provides novel evidence that 2600 MHz RF, when combined with AGM, may exert a powerful anti-inflammatory effect, highlighting a potential therapeutic interaction that warrants further investigation.","PeriodicalId":50544,"journal":{"name":"Electromagnetic Biology and Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"1-10"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-08-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144823149","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study investigated the effects of 3.5 GHz RF radiation on thyroid hormone levels and oxidative stress markers in male Wistar rats and assessed the potential protective role of quercetin, a natural antioxidant. Twenty-eight rats were randomly assigned to four groups: Sham, RF, Quercetin, and RF + Quercetin. RF exposure was administered at 3.5 GHz (2 W) for 2 hours/day, 5 days/week, for 30 days. Quercetin (20 mg/kg) was administered intraperitoneally. Serum levels of T3, T4, and TSH, as well as thyroid tissue levels of TAS, TOS, GSH, and MDA, were analyzed using ELISA. RF exposure significantly decreased T3 and T4, increased TSH, elevated MDA and TOS, and reduced TAS and GSH levels. Quercetin treatment showed trends toward reversing some of these effects, although not all changes reached statistical significance. SAR simulations confirmed higher energy absorption in the thyroid region (average SAR: 1.128 W/kg). These findings suggest that 3.5 GHz RF radiation may impair thyroid function and redox homeostasis, and that quercetin may exert limited biochemical protection, though further studies are needed to confirm its efficacy. Further long-term molecular studies are warranted to elucidate the mechanisms involved.","PeriodicalId":50544,"journal":{"name":"Electromagnetic Biology and Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"1-12"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144585559","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hyperthermia therapy needs precise temperature control to ensure delivery of the proper thermal dose, causing minimum damage to the neighboring healthy tissues. This work reports the indigenous development of a custom-designed hyperthermia instrument. An advanced RISC machine (ARM)-based embedded closed-loop proportional-integral (PI) controller is developed for controlling the temperature. As per the applied methodology, the DC bias of a Mazzilli oscillator-based half-bridge inverter is controlled through the controller. The PI controller reads the hyperthermia system temperature using an infrared (IR) radiation thermometer and generates an analog output accordingly. This, in turn, changes the amplitude of the alternating magnetic field (AMF), thus controlling the temperature of the magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs). Its potential has been explored for in vitro hyperthermia studies. In vitro experiments have been carried out successfully with the custom-designed heater and controller assembly utilizing commercial non-invasive temperature measurement with a standard deviation of about 0.3°C and overshoot within the hyperthermia temperature range (3°C). The developed system has also obtained a satisfactory value of specific absorption rate (SAR).

A questionnaire identifying health symptoms within these categories, was given to 183 highly exposed and 126 reference residents, matched on demographics. While years of residing near the MPBS influenced the prevalence of some symptoms, proximity to the base station and higher levels of exposure (measured using power density) influenced the prevalence of many of the symptoms. A higher proportion of symptoms was found in residents who were either living within 50 meters of a MPBS or who were exposed to power densities of 5-8 mW/m2, for all four health categories. This relationship between exposure level and symptom prevalence was further influenced by age, daily mobile phone use (over 5 h per day), and lifestyle factors, for certain symptoms. Hierarchical regression analysis revealed that level of exposure (power density) was the only factor contributing to the number of symptoms experienced by residents, for all four health categories. An unexpected finding was that among the more highly exposed residents, the younger individuals (under 40 years) reported more inflammation related issues than older individuals.
