More light components and less light damage on rats’ eyes: evidence for the photobiomodulation and spectral opponency. Photochem Photobiol Sci 2022; 22:809-824.

Abstract
The blue-light hazard (BLH) has raised concerns with the increasing applications of white light-emitting diodes (LEDs). Many researchers believed that the shorter wavelength or more light components generally resulted in more severe retinal damage. In this study, based on the conventional phosphor-coated white LED, we added azure (484 nm), cyan (511 nm), and red (664 nm) light to fabricate the low-hazard light source. The low-hazard light sources and conventional white LED illuminated 68 Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats for 7 days. Before and after light exposure, we measured the retinal function, thickness of retinal layers, and fundus photographs. The expression levels of autophagy-related proteins and the activities of oxidation-related biochemical indicators were also measured to investigate the mechanisms of damaging or protecting the retina. With the same correlated color temperature (CCT), the low-hazard light source results in significantly less damage on the retinal function and photoreceptors, even if it has two times illuminance and blue-light hazard-weighted irradiance ([Formula: see text]) than conventional white LED. The results illustrated that [Formula: see text] proposed by IEC 62471 could not exactly evaluate the light damage on rats' retinas. We also figured out that more light components could result in less light damage, which provided evidence for the photobiomodulation (PBM) and spectral opponency on light damage.

Neurochem Res 2015; 40:2153-66. [PMID: 26285902 DOI: 10.1007/s11064-015-1698-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/14/2015] [Revised: 08/01/2015] [Accepted: 08/12/2015] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
Aquaporins (AQPs) are integral membrane proteins which maintain cellular water and ion homeostasis. Alterations in AQP expression have been reported in rod-dominated rodent retinas exposed to light. In rodents and also in birds, light of moderate intensities (700-2000 lux) damages the retina, though detailed changes were not examined in birds. The aim of our study was to see if light affects cone dominated retinas, which would be reflected in expression levels of AQPs. We examined AQP1 and AQP4 expressions in chick retina exposed to 2000 lux under 12 h light:12 h dark (12L:12D; normal photoperiod), 18L:6D (prolonged photoperiod) and 24L:0D (constant light). Additionally, morphological changes, apoptosis (by TUNEL) and levels of glutamate and GFAP (a marker of injury) in the retina were examined to correlate these with AQP expressions. Constant light caused damage in outer and inner nuclear layer (ONL, INL) and ganglion cell layer (GCL). Also, there were associated increases in GFAP and glutamate levels in retinal extracts. In normal photoperiod, AQP1 was expressed in GCL, outer part of INL and photoreceptor inner segments of. AQP4 was additionally expressed in nerve fiber layer. Immunohistochemistry and Western blotting revealed over all decreased AQP1 and AQP4 expression in constant light condition compared to those in other two groups. The elevated GFAP and glutamate levels might be involved in the reduction of AQPs in constant light group. Such decreases in AQP expressions are perhaps linked with retinal cell damage seen in constant light condition, while their relatively enhanced expression in two other conditions may help in maintaining a normal retinal architecture, indicating their neuroprotective potential.
