11.4 T ultra-high static magnetic field has no effect on morphology but induces upregulation of TNF signaling pathway based on transcriptome analysis in zebrafish embryos

As magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanners with ultra-high field (UHF) have optimal performance, scientists have been working to develop high-performance devices with strong magnetic fields to improve their diagnostic potential. However, whether an MRI scanner with UHF poses a risk to the safety of the organism require further evaluation. This study evaluated the effects of 11.4 Tesla (T) UHF on embryonic development using a zebrafish model. Multiple approaches, including morphological parameters, physiological behaviors, and analyses of the transcriptome at the molecular level, were determined during 5 days after laboratory-controlled exposure from 6 hour post fertilization (hpf) to 24 hpf. No significant effects were observed in embryo mortality, hatching rate, body length, Left-Right patterning, locomotor behavior, etc. RNA-sequencing analysis revealed up-regulated tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inflammatory factors and activated TNF signaling pathways in the 11.4 T exposure group. The results were further validated using qPCR. Our findings indicate that although UHF exposure under 11.4 T has no effect on the development of zebrafish embryos, it has specific effects on the immune response that require further investigation.
