Abstract: The aim of the research is to investigate the effects of high magnetic gravitational environment (HMGE) produced by a superconducting magnet on gene expression and distribution of dynamin-2 in human osteosarcoma cell line MG-63 cells. A special designed large gradient superconducting magnet which can produce three HMGE, namely 0 g (12 T), 1 g (16 T) and 2 g (12 T) . After the cells were cultured under 0 g (12 T), 1 g (16 T), 2 g (12 T) and control environments for 24 h, Real Time PCR, Western blot and laser scanning confocal microscopy (LSCM) were utilized to detect the expression and distribution of dynamin-2. And the results showed that, compared to control group, dynamin-2 expression at mRNA level in MG-63 cells exposed to 0 g (12 T), 1 g (16 T) and 2 g (12 T) conditions was increased by 6.43, 15.57 and 1.29 folds, respectively. However, at protein level, dynamin-2 expression in MG-63 cells exposed to 0 g (12 T) and 1 g (16 T) conditions was increased by 89% and 7% while that of 2 g (12 T) condition was decreased by 41% compared to control group. In addition, dynamin-2 was mainly diffused in the cytoplasm in MG-63 cells of control groups, so was that of 1 g and 2 g groups. But in 0 g group, the distribution of dynamin-2 exhibited trends towards accumulation in the perinuclear region. Taken together, the results suggest that HMGE influences expression and distribution of dynamin-2 in MG-63 cells.
