Abstract
Low intensity laser irradiation (LILI) has been applied to stimulate healing in a variety of conditions, such as diabetes. This study aimed to determine the biochemical and molecular responses to LILI in the visible red spectrum. Various cell culture models, namely wounded, diabetic wounded and hypoxic/ischemic were used. Models were exposed to visible red laser light (632.8, 636 or 660 nm) at a fluence of 5 J/cm2. Post-irradiation, the effect on cells was studied. Laser irradiation was shown to have a positive effect on stressed cells in vitro. There was an increase in migration, cell survival and proliferation, mitochondrial activity, secondary messengers and collagen. A decrease in cytotoxicity, DNA damage and pro-inflammatory cytokines were also seen. LLLT offers an alternative wound healing therapy. At a biochemical level there was a positive effect on cells, with stressed cells being pushed into cell survival pathways.
