Abstract
Irradiation with red or near-infrared (NIR) light in low level light therapy (LLLT) is found to stimulate cellular processes and bioenergetics, resulting in enhanced wound healing, pain control, neurodegenerative diseases treatment, etc. During light irradiation of tissues and organs, different cells are affected, though the connection between photostimulation of cells and their environmental conditions remains poorly understood. In this report, red/NIR light-stimulated angiogenesis is investigated using endothelial cells in vitro, with a focus on the capillary-like structure (CLS) formation and the respective biochemical processes in cells under conditions proximate to a healthy or malignant environment, which strongly defines angiogenesis. To model environmental conditions for endotheliocytes in vitro, the cell culture environment was supplemented by an augmented conditioned medium from macrophages or cancer cells. The biochemical processes in endothelial cell cultures were investigated with and without irradiation by red (650 nm) and near-infrared (808 nm) laser diodes and under normoxia or hypoxia conditions. A light-stimulated angiogenesis has been found, with a more efficient stimulation by 650 nm light compared to 808 nm light. It was shown that the irradiation with light promoted extracellular Ca2+ influx, fostered cell cycle progression, proliferation and NO generation in endothelial cells, and caused an increase in vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) production by endothelial cells and M2 macrophages under hypoxia conditions. The activation of VEGF production by macrophages was found to be associated with an increase in the number of M2 macrophages after light irradiation under hypoxia conditions. Thus, a new pathway of an activation of the endothelial cell metabolism, which is related with the extracellular Ca2+ influx after light irradiation, has been revealed. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Red/NIR light-stimulated angiogenesis has been studied using endothelial cells in vitro, with focus on CLS formation and the respective biochemical processes in cell models proximate to a healthy or malignant environment. A light-stimulated angiogenesis has been found, stimulated via extracellular Ca2+ influx, cell cycle progression, proliferation and NO generation, VEGF production increase by endothelial cells under hypoxia conditions.
