Studies were performed to determine the effects of microwave on synaptic vesicles and the expression of synaptic vesicular associated proteins including synapsin I, VAMP-2, syntaxin, and synaptophysin. 25 Wistar rats were exposed to microwave which the average power density was 30 mW/cm(2), and whole body average specific absorption rate was 14.1 W/kg for 5 min.

Synaptosome preparations in the cerebral cortex and hippocampus were obtained by isotonic Percoll/sucrose discontinuous gradients at 6 h, 1, 3, and 7 days after radiation.

The expression of synaptic vesicular associated proteins was measured using Western blots and image analysis. The interaction between VAMP-2 and syntaxin was examined by coimmunoprecipitation analysis. Synapsin I in the cerebral cortex were decreased at 3 days (P < 0.01) after radiation and in the hippocampus increased at 1 day (P < 0.01), decreased at 3 days (P < 0.01), increased again at 7 days (P < 0.01) after exposure, compared with the sham-treated controls. Synaptophysin were increased in 1-7 days (P < 0.01) after exposure in the cerebral cortex and hippocampus. VAMP-2 were decreased at 1 and 3 days (P < 0.01) and syntaxin were decreased in 6 h to 3 days (P < 0.01) after radiation in the cerebral cortex and hippocampus. The interactions between VAMP-2 and syntaxin were decreased at 3-7 days (P < 0.01) after radiation in the cerebral cortex and hippocampus, compared with the sham-treated controls.

These results suggest that 30 mW/cm(2) (SAR 14.1 W/kg) microwave radiation can result in the perturbation of the synaptic vesicles associated proteins: synapsin I, synaptophysin, VAMP-2, and syntaxin. The perturbation could induce the deposit of synaptic vesicle, which might be relative to the dysfunction of the synaptic transmission, even the cognition deficit.
