This study explores the complex relationship between radio frequency (RF) exposure and cancer cells, focusing on the HT-1080 human fibrosarcoma cell line. We investigated the modulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and key antioxidant enzymes, including superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase, and glutathione (GSH), as well as mitochondrial superoxide levels and cell viability. Exposure to RF fields in the 2-5 MHz range at very weak intensities (20 nT) over 4 days resulted in distinct, frequency-specific cellular effects.

With the growth of the quantum biology field, the study of magnetic field (MF) effects on biological processes and their potential therapeutic applications has attracted much attention. However, most biologists lack the experience needed to construct an MF exposure apparatus on their own, no consensus standard exists for exposure methods, and protocols for model organisms are sorely lacking. We aim to provide those interested in entering the field with the ability to investigate static MF effects in their own research.

There are substantial concerns that extended exposures to weak radiofrequency (RF) fields can lead to adverse health effects. In this study, HT-1080 fibrosarcoma cells were simultaneously exposed to a static magnetic flux density between 10 [Formula: see text] and 300 [Formula: see text] and RF magnetic fields with amplitudes ranging from 1 nT to 1.5 μT in the frequency range from 1.

Article Synopsis
  • Recent research indicates that weak radiofrequency (RF) fields can affect biological systems, particularly oxidative stress levels in cells.
  • The study focused on how RF fields in the 3-5 MHz range impact mitochondrial respiration in human fibrosarcoma and fibroblast cells over four days.
  • Results showed that exposure to RF fields, especially at 4.2 MHz, increased mitochondrial mass and oxidative stress, raising concerns about potential health effects from prolonged exposure and suggesting possible clinical applications.

In this study, we investigated the effects of weak static magnetic fields (SMFs) on HT-1080 human fibrosarcoma cells. Exposures to SMFs for four consecutive days were varied from 0.5 to 600 µT for treated units, while exposures to control units were held at 45 µT.
