Terahertz (THz) radiation has gained attention due to technological advancements, but its biological effects remain unclear. We investigated the impact of 2.3 THz radiation on SK-MEL-28 cells using metabolomic and gene network analysis. Forty metabolites, primarily related to purine, pyrimidine synthesis and breakdown pathways, were significantly altered post-irradiation. Lipids, such as ceramides and phosphatidylcholines, were also affected. Gene network reconstruction and analysis identified key regulators of the enzymes involved in biosynthesis and degradation of significantly altered metabolites. Mitochondrial membrane components, such as the respiratory chain complex, the proton-transporting ATP synthase complex, and components of lipid rafts reacted to THz radiation. We propose that THz radiation induces reversible disruption of the lipid raft macromolecular structure, thereby altering mitochondrial molecule transport while maintaining protein integrity, which explains the high cell survival rate. Our findings enhance the understanding of THz biological effects and emphasize the role of membrane components in the cellular response to THz radiation.
