Abstract
Aim: To confirm the biological effects of manganese ferrite magnetic nanoparticles (MFMNPs) and an external magnetic field on glioblastoma cells. Methods: U-87MG glioblastoma cells were prepared, into which the uptake of MFMNPs was high. The cells were then exposed to an external magnetic field using a neodymium magnet in vitro and in vivo. Results: LRP6 and TCF7 mRNA levels involved in the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway were elevated by the influence of MFMNPs and the external magnetic field. MFMNPs and the external magnetic field also accelerated tumor growth by approximately 7 days and decreased survival rates in animal experiments. Conclusion: When MFMNPs and an external magnetic field are applied for a long time on glioblastoma cells, mRNA expression related to Wnt/β-catenin signaling is increased and tumor growth is promoted.
