17--Estradiol Counteracts the Effects of High Frequency Electromagnetic Fields on Trophoblastic Connexins and Integrins
Figure 1
(a) Effect of HF-EMF (grey bar), 10−6 M 17-β-estradiol (hatched bar), and their combination (black bar) on the expression of Cx40, Cx43, and Cx45 mRNA in HTR-8/SVneo cells. Results are expressed in % with respect to the control value (white bar). (b) Western blot detection of CXs protein expression in HTR-8/SVneo cells HF-EMF exposed. Representative immunoblots of Cx40, Cx43, and Cx45 are shown. Results are the means ± SEM of three independent experiments, each analysed in triplicate. Data are means ± SEM of at least three independent experiments. * versus sham-exposed cells (one-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni’s posttest).
