Purpose 9.4 T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been initially tested on healthy human volunteers, but its future application will benefit more from experiments with animal disease models. In the meantime, high static magnetic fields (SMFs) have been shown to improve mice mental health and have anti-tumor potentials. Methods We compared the anti-tumor effects of 9.4 T SMF with or without a commonly used chemotherapy drug imatinib mesylate on BALB/c (Nu/Nu) mice bearing gastrointestinal stromal tumor GIST-T1 cells. The body weight, food/water consumption, complete blood count, blood biochemistry, tumor weight, HE and Ki67 stains were examined. Locomotor activity and cognitive functions were also measured by four behavior tests, including open field, elevated plus maze, three-chamber and tail suspension tests. Results We found that the tumor growth was inhibited up to 62.88% when treated with 9.4 T SMF alone for 200 h. More importantly, 9.4 T SMF combined with 20 mg/kg imatinib mesylate can result in 92.75% tumor suppression, which is close to the anti-tumor effect of high dose (80 mg/kg) imatinib. However, 80 mg/kg imatinib caused severe side effects, including significantly reduced gain of body weight, abnormal liver function and depressive behaviors in mice. In contrast, 9.4 T SMF treatment significantly reduced these side effects, especially for the depressive behaviors. Conclusion Our results demonstrate that 9.4 T SMF not only has anti-tumor effects on its own, but also could improve the anti-tumor effect of imatinib mesylate, reduce its toxicity and improve the mice mental health, which unraveled the great clinical potentials of high SMF in future applications.
