Effects of RF-EMF and ELF-EMF exposure on the expression of molecular chaperones including HSP104, SSA1/2 and YDJ1 in SB34 strain. The transcription levels of HSP104, SSA1/2 and YDJ1 in, SB34 [ure-o] (a), SB34 [URE3] (b) after 2.0 GHz, 40 dBm RF-EMF exposure versus control as well as SB34 [ure-o] (c), SB34 [URE3] (d) after 6.0 mT ELF-EMF exposure versus control were detected by quantitative RT-PCR. e Western blot analysis showing the molecular chaperones expression in SB34 [ure-o] cells exposed to 2.0 GHz, 40 dBm RF-EMF, compared with the control. f Quantitative analysis of (e). g Western blot analysis showing the molecular chaperones expression in SB34 [ure-o] cells exposed to 6.0 mT ELF-EMF, compared with the control. h Quantitative analysis of (g). The β-actin protein was used as internal control. Values indicate integrated optical density (IOD) ratio of target proteins/β-actin in immunoblots. All data represent three independent experiments. Bars represent S.D. of the mean
