An Extremely Low Frequency Magnetic Field Tomonori Sakurai,1 Akira Satake,1 Shoichiro Sumi,1 Kazutomo Inoue,1 and Junji Miyakoshi2* 1Department of Organ Reconstruction, Institute for Frontier Medical Sciences, 2Department of Radiological Technology, School of Health Sciences, Faculty of Medicine, Hirosaki University, Hirosaki, Japan In this study, we investigated the effects of exposure to an extremely low frequency magnetic field(ELFMF) on hormone secretion from an islet derived insulinoma cell line, RIN-m. We stimulatedRIN-m cells to secrete insulin under exposure to an ELFMF, using our established system for theexposure of cultured cells to an ELFMF at 5 mT and 60 Hz, or under sham exposure conditions for 1 hand observed the effects. In the presence of a depolarizing concentration of potassium (45 mM KCl),exposure to ELFMF significantly attenuated insulin release from RIN-m cells, compared to shamexposed cells. Treatment with nifedipine reduced the difference in insulin secretion betweencells exposed to an ELFMF and sham exposed cells. The expression of mRNA encoding synaptosomalassociated protein of 25 kDa (SNAP-25) and synaptotagmin 1, which play a role in exocytosis inhormone secretion and influx of calcium ions, decreased with exposure to an ELFMF in the presenceof 45 mM KCl. These results suggest that exposure to ELFMF attenuates insulin secretion fromRIN-m cells by affecting calcium influx through calcium channels. Bioelectromagnetics 25:160–166,2004.

The reaction mixture was incubated Insulin Secretion From RIN-m CellsUnder Sham Conditions Under sham conditions, incubation with stimula- tion buffer containing a high concentration of potas-sium (45 mM KCl) caused insulin release to increaseapproximately 14 fold, compared to the basal incuba-tion conditions. In contrast, both a normal (3.3 mM)and a high (16.7 mM) concentration of D-glucose didnot increase insulin release, compared to the basal in-cubation conditions. Phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate(PMA) also increased insulin release from RIN-m cellsby approximately 15 fold (Table 1). These results arein agreement with previous reports describing RIN-mcells and their subcloned cell line, RINm5F [Praz et al.,1983; Bhathena et al., 1984; Yada et al., 1989].
