Strong static magnetic field did not affect survival and cell cycle in DNA-repair deficient mammalian cell

, , , and . (2013)

Abstract

To evaluate the biological effects of static magnetic field (SMF) up to 13 Tesla (T), cloning efficiency, cell cycle and cell orientation were investigated using the CHO-Kl and xrs5 (Ku86 deficient) cell lines. As a result, there were not significant differences in cloning efficiency between control cells and 13T SMF-exposed cells in both cell lines. Similarly, there were no significant differences in the ratio of cell number in G2/M, S or G 1 phase to total cell number between control cells and SMF-exposed cells in both cell lines. These results suggested that strong SMF did not affect cloning efficiency and cell cycle regardless ability of DNA repair.
