Abstract
The oral cavity, a unique ecosystem harboring diverse microorganisms, maintains health through a balanced microflora. Disruption may lead to disease, emphasizing the protective role of gingival epithelial cells (GECs) in preventing harm from pathogenic oral microbes. Shifting GECs' response from proinflammatory to antimicrobial could be a novel strategy for periodontitis. Photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT), a nonpharmacologic host modulatory approach, is considered an alternative to drugs. While the host cell response induced by a single type of pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) was widely studied, this model does not address the cellular response to intact microbes that exhibit multiple PAMPs that might modulate the response. Inspired by this, we developed an in vitro model that simulates direct interactions between host cells and intact pathogens and evaluated the effect of PBMT on the response of human gingival keratinocytes (HGKs) to challenge viable oral microbes at both the cellular and molecular levels. Our data demonstrated that LED pretreatment on microbially challenged HGKs with specific continuous wavelengths (red: 615 nm; near-infrared: 880 nm) induced the production of various antimicrobial peptides, enhanced cell viability and proliferation, promoted reactive oxygen species scavenging, and down-modulated proinflammatory activity. The data also suggest a potential explanation regarding the superior efficacy of near-infrared light treatment compared with red light in enhancing antimicrobial activity and reducing cellular inflammation of HGKs. Taken together, the findings suggest that PBMT enhances the overall barrier function of gingival epithelium while minimizing inflammation-mediated breakdown of the underlying structures.

Red and near-infrared light evokes Ca 2+ influx, endoplasmic reticulum release and membrane depolarization in neurons and cancer cells.

Abstract
Low level light therapy uses light of specific wavelengths in red and near-infrared spectral range to treat various pathological conditions. This light is able to modulate biochemical cascade reactions in cells that can have important health implications. In this study, the effect of low intensity light at 650, 808 and 1064 nm on neurons and two types of cancer cells (neuroblastoma and HeLa) is reported, with focus on the photoinduced change of intracellular level of Ca2+ ions and corresponding signaling pathways. The obtained results show that 650 and 808 nm light promotes intracellular Ca2+ elevation regardless of cell type, but with different dynamics due to the specificities of Ca2+ regulation in neurons and cancer cells. Two origins responsible for Ca2+ elevation are determined to be: influx of exogenous Ca2+ ions into cells and Ca2+ release from endoplasmic reticulum. Our investigation of the related cellular processes shows that light-induced membrane depolarization is distinctly involved in the mechanism of Ca2+ influx. Ca2+ release from endoplasmic reticulum activated by reactive oxygen species generation is considered as a possible light-dependent signaling pathway. In contrast to the irradiation with 650 and 808 nm light, no effects are observed under 1064 nm irradiation. We believe that the obtained insights are of high significance and can be useful for the development of drug-free phototherapy.

The effect of low-level laser therapy as an adjunct to periodontal surgery in the management of postoperative pain and wound healing: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Lasers Med Sci 2020; 36:175-187. [PMID: 32613416 DOI: 10.1007/s10103-020-03072-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/19/2020] [Accepted: 06/11/2020] [Indexed: 01/14/2023]
Abstract
The meta-analysis and systematic review aimed to evaluate the effect of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) as an adjunct to periodontal surgery in the management of postoperative pain and wound healing. An electronic search in 4 databases (PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, and OpenGrey) was conducted for randomized clinical trials reporting the effectiveness of LLLT used as an adjunct to periodontal surgery to alleviate pain and accelerate wound healing compared with surgery alone. Finally, 13 studies were eligible and included. The results showed a significant difference of pain relief between groups at day 3 post-surgery, whereas no difference was found at day 7. Moreover, a significant reduction was observed in the mean analgesic intake during the first week in the LLLT group. On day 14, the adjunctive use of LLLT showed significantly faster re-epithelialization and better wound healing in palatal donor sites following free gingival graft procedures. Based on the results, LLLT used as an adjunct to periodontal surgery positively influenced postsurgical pain control. Low power (≤ 500 mW) combined with energy density ≥ 5 J/cm2 might be more appropriate for postoperative pain relief. Moreover, adjunctive LLLT to free gingival grafts could significantly accelerate wound healing of palate sites at early healing phase. Multicenter studies using different LLL parameters without postsurgical analgesics are needed to determine optimal laser settings.

Abstract
Introduction: Photobiomodulation (PBM) is known as low-level laser (or light) therapy and is applied in different fields of medicine. However, it is required that its molecular and cellular mechanism be investigated. This study aims to assess the neuroprotective properties of PBM in the rat retina. Methods: GSE22818 was downloaded from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) and the regulation of the significant differentially expressed genes (DEGs) which are produced by light damage in the rat retina by the pretreatment of PBM application was assessed via network analysis and gene ontology enrichment. Results: The 78 produced DEGs by light-damage in the rat retina were protected via PBM pretreatment action. Among these determined DEGs, 53 individuals were included in the main connected component of the constructed protein-protein interaction (PPI) network. Ccl2, Icam1, Cxcl10, Timp1, and Fos were determined as hub nodes. Eight clusters including 26 regulated biochemical pathways by PBM pretreatment were identified. The critical DEGs based on the action maps were introduced. Conclusion: The finding indicates that PBM treatment protects rat retina against light damage via the prevention of Fos, Ccl2, Icam1, Cxcl10, and Myc dysregulation.

Abstract
Photobiomodulation (PBM) therapy is used to stimulate cell proliferation and metabolism, as well as reduce inflammatory cytokine synthesis, which plays a main role in the long-term stability of implants. This study assessed the response of gingival fibroblasts cultured on titanium (Ti) and zirconia (ZrO2), submitted to PBM and exposed to lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Cells seeded on Ti and ZrO2 were irradiated (InGaAsP; 780 nm, 25 mW) 3 times, using 0.5, 1.5, and 3.0 J/cm2 doses, and exposed to Escherichia coli LPS (1 μg/mL). After 24 h, cell viability (alamarBlue, n = 8), interleukin 6 (IL-6) and 8 (IL-8) synthesis (ELISA, n = 6), and IL-6 and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) gene expression (qPCR, n = 5) were assessed and statistically analyzed (one-way ANOVA, α = 0.05). Cell morphology was evaluated by fluorescence microscopy. Increased cell viability occurred in all groups cultured on Ti compared with that of the control, except for cells exposed to LPS. Fibroblasts cultured on ZrO2 and LPS-exposed exhibited reduced viability. PBM at 3.0 J/cm2 and 1.5 J/cm2 downregulated the IL-6 synthesis by fibroblasts seeded on Ti and ZrO2, as well as IL-8 synthesis by cells seeded on ZrO2. Fibroblasts seeded on both surfaces and LPS-exposed showed increased IL-6 gene expression; however, this activity was downregulated when fibroblasts were irradiated at 3.0 J/cm2. Enhanced VEGF gene expression by cells seeded on Ti and laser-irradiated (3.0 J/cm2). Distinct patterns of cytoskeleton occurred in laser-irradiated cells exposed to LPS. Specific parameters of PBM can biomodulate the inflammatory response of fibroblasts seeded on Ti or ZrO2 and exposed to LPS.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to assess the effects of IL-6 and IL-8 cytokines on human gingival fibroblasts (HGF) cultured in a 3-D model and the possible photobiomodulation (PBM) of such effects by low-level laser therapy. In complete culture medium (DMEM), HGF from a healthy patient were seeded in a type I collagen matrix inserted into 24-well plates. After 5 days of incubation, the cytokines were added or not to serum-free DMEM, which was applied to the cell-enriched matrices. Then, PBM was performed: three consecutive irradiations using LaserTable diode device (780 nm, 0.025 W) at 0.5 J/cm2 were delivered or not to the cells. Twenty-four hours after the last irradiation, cell viability and morphology, gene expression, and synthesis of inflammatory cytokines and growth factors were assessed. The histological evaluation demonstrated that, for all groups, matrices presented homogeneous distribution of cells with elongated morphology. However, numerous cytokine-exposed cells were rounded. IL-6 and IL-8 decreased cell viability, synthesis of VEGF, and gene expression of collagen type I. PBM enhanced cell density in the matrices and stimulated VEGF expression, even after IL-6 challenge. Reduced TNF-α synthesis occurred in those cells subjected to PBM. In conclusion, PBM can penetrate collagen matrix and stimulate HGF, highlighting the relevance of this research model for further phototherapy studies and in vitro biomodulation of the healing process.

Abstract
Red and near-infrared (NIR) light effect on Ca2+ ions flux through the influence on N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDARs) and their functioning in HeLa cells was studied in vitro. Cells were irradiated by 650 and 808 nm laser light at different power densities and doses and the obtained effect was compared with that caused by the pharmacological agents. The laser light was found to elevate Ca2+ influx into cell cytoplasm in a dose-dependent manner without changes of the NMDAR functioning. Furthermore, the light of both wavelengths demonstrated the ability to elevate Ca2+ influx under the pharmacological blockade of NMDARs and also might partially abolish the blockade enhancing Ca2+ influx after selective stimulation of the receptors with NMDA. Simultaneously, the light at moderate doses demonstrated a photobiostimulating effect on cells. Based on our experiments and data reported in the literature, we suggest that the low-power visible and NIR light can instigate a cell membrane depolarization via nonthermal activation, resulting in the fast induction of Ca2+ influx into cells. The obtained results also demonstrate that NIR light can be used for nonthermal and nonpharmacological stimulation of NMDARs in cancer cells.
