Modulation of gene expression in skin wound healing by photobiomodulation therapy: A systematic review in vivo studies. PHOTODERMATOLOGY, PHOTOIMMUNOLOGY & PHOTOMEDICINE 2024; 40:e12990. [PMID: 39031566 DOI: 10.1111/phpp.12990] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/27/2024] [Revised: 05/21/2024] [Accepted: 07/10/2024] [Indexed: 07/22/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Wound healing is a multistep process involving coordinated responses of a variety of cell types, cytokines, growth factors, and extracellular matrix (ECM) components leading to the physiological restoration of tissue integrity. Photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) has been highlighted as an approach to improve the healing process, nonetheless at the molecular level, the effects of PBMT are not entirely understood. AIM To systematically review publications that investigated gene expression after PBMT during in vivo skin repair. METHODS An electronic search was undertaken in Medline Ovid (Wolters Kluwer), PubMed (National Library of Medicine), Web of Science (Thomson Reuters), Scopus (Elsevier), Embase, and LILACS databases. The search strategy was conducted from the terms: low-level light therapy, gene expression, and wound healing and their synonyms. The databases were consulted in December 2023 and no publication year limit was used. RESULTS Eleven studies were included in this review and the expression of 186 genes was evaluated. PBMT modified the expression of several targets genes studied, such as down-regulation of genes related to extracellular matrix proteases (MMP2 and MMP9) and pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL10 and IL6) and up-regulation of DNMT3A and BFGF. CONCLUSION This review demonstrates that PBMT is capable of regulating gene expression during wound healing. Most evidence showed a positive impact of PBMT in regulating genes linked to inflammatory cytokines improving skin wound healing. Yet, the effects of PBMT in genes involved in other mechanisms still need to be better understood.

Abstract
Because of the close connection between adhesion and many vital cellular functions, the search for new compounds modulating the adhesion of bacteria belonging to the intestinal microbiota is a great challenge and a clinical need. Based on our previous studies, we discovered that O-lkyl naringenin derivatives and their oximes exhibit antimicrobial activity against antibiotic-resistant pathogens. The current study was aimed at determining the modulatory effect of these compounds on the adhesion of selected representatives of the intestinal microbiota: Escherichia coli, a commensal representative of the intestinal microbiota, and Enterococcus faecalis, a bacterium that naturally colonizes the intestines but has disease-promoting potential. To better reflect the variety of real-life scenarios, we performed these studies using two different intestinal cell lines: the physiologically functioning ("healthy") 3T3-L1 cell line and the disease-mimicking, cancerous HT-29 line. The study was performed in vitro under static and microfluidic conditions generated by the Bioflux system. We detected the modulatory effect of the tested O-alkyl naringenin derivatives on bacterial adhesion, which was dependent on the cell line studied and was more significant for E. coli than for E. faecalis. In addition, it was noticed that this activity was affected by the concentration of the tested compound and its structure (length of the carbon chain). In summary, O-alkyl naringenin derivatives and their oximes possess a promising modulatory effect on the adhesion of selected representatives of the intestinal microbiota.

Abstract
The synthesis of silver nanoparticles using biogenic methods, particularly plants, has led to the discovery of several effective nanoparticles. In many instances, plant-derived silver nanoparticles have been shown to have more activity than the plant extract which was used to synthesize the nanoparticles. Silver nanoparticles have been successfully synthesized using the medicinal plant, Cotyledon orbiculata. This is a shrub found in the Western Cape province of South Africa. It has a long history of use in traditional medicine in the treatment of wounds and skin infections. The C. orbiculata synthesized silver nanoparticles (Cotyledon-AgNPs) were reported to have good antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory activities; however, their wound-healing properties have not been determined. This study aimed to determine the wound healing activity of Cotyledon-AgNPs using the scratch assay. Gene expression studies were also done to determine the nanoparticles' mechanism of action. The Cotyledon-AgNPs showed good antioxidant, growth-promoting and cell migration properties. Gene expression studies showed that the C. orbiculata water extract and Cotyledon-AgNPs promoted wound healing by upregulating genes involved in cell proliferation, migration and growth while downregulating pro-inflammatory genes. This confirms, for the first time that a water extract of C. orbiculata and silver nanoparticles synthesized from this extract are good wound-healing agents.

Abstract
Photobiomodulation (PBM) is a widely used therapeutic intervention used to treat several chronic conditions. Despite this, fundamental research underpinning its effectiveness is lacking, highlighted by the lack of a definitive mechanism of action. Additionally, there are many treatment variables which remain underexplored, one of those being the effect of polarization the property of light that specifies the direction of the oscillating electric field. When applied to PBM, using linearly polarized light, when compared to otherwise identical non-polarized light, may enhance its biological efficacy. As such, we investigated the potential biological effects of polarized PBM when compared to non-polarized and non-irradiated controls in the domains of cellular viability, proliferation, apoptosis and mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨ) within cells exposed to oxidative stress. It was noted that polarized PBM, when compared to non-polarized PBM and non-irradiated controls, demonstrated mostly increased levels of cellular proliferation and ΔΨ, whilst decreasing the amount of cellular apoptosis. These results indicate that polarization may have utility in the clinical application of PBM. Future research is needed to further elucidate the underpinning mechanisms of PBM and polarization.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Brassinosteroids (BRs) are the class of phytohormones with great importance in agriculture and potential diverse effects on human welfare, including skin disease treatment. In this sense, BRs are a promising tool for promoting skin regeneration. AIMS Therefore, the objective of the present work was to analyze the effect of BRs in wound repair, mainly the inflammatory and proliferative phases, and their influence on migratory abilities in human dermal fibroblasts (HDFa), and consequently understand the mitochondrial metabolism. MAIN METHODS We measured nine natural and synthetic BRs for the inflammatory response in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW 264.7 macrophages. We further evaluated the migration activity in HDFa modeling promotion of wound closure after BRs exposure. In addition, we evaluated the 84 gene profiles linked to wound healing response using RT2 Profiler PCR Array and examined cellular bioenergetics using an extracellular flux analyzer. KEY FINDINGS Results showed that LPS-induced cells had around 10 % lower reactive oxygen species and nitric oxide accumulation when treated with some BRs compounds. HDFa treated with homobrassinolide-based and homocastasterone-based compounds resulted in the greatest migratory activity and presents the best results for mitochondrial responses. SIGNIFICANCE Together, these results provided strong evidence for BRs' ability to promote skin health, particularly through contributions to both reducing excessive oxidative stress and controlling the inflammation process resulting in the best HDFa cell migration through the control of mitochondrial function.

Pulsed low-intensity laser treatment stimulates wound healing without enhancing biofilm development in vitro. JOURNAL OF PHOTOCHEMISTRY AND PHOTOBIOLOGY. B, BIOLOGY 2022; 233:112504.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Treating infected or chronic wounds burdened with biofilms still is a major challenge in medical care. Healing-stimulating factors lose their efficacy due to bacterial degradation, and antimicrobial substances negatively affect dermal cells. Therefore, alternative treatment approaches like the pulsed low intensity laser therapy (LILT) require consideration. METHODS The effect of pulsed LILT (904 nm, in three frequencies) on relevant human cells of the wound healing process (fibroblasts (BJ), keratinocytes (HaCaT), endothelial cells (HMEC), monocytes (THP-1)) were investigated in in-vitro and ex-vivo wound models with respect to viability, proliferation and migration. Antimicrobial efficacy of the most efficient frequency in cell biological analyses of LILT (3200 Hz) was determined in a human biofilm model (lhBIOM). Quantification of bacterial load was evaluated by suspension method and qualitative visualization was performed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). RESULTS Pulsed LILT at 904 nm at 3200 Hz ± 50% showed the most positive effects on metabolic activity and proliferation of human wound cells in vitro (after 72 h - BJ: BPT 0.97 ± 0.05 vs. 0.75 ± 0.04 (p = 0.0283); HaCaT: BPT 0.79 ± 0.04 vs. 0.59 ± 0.02 (p = 0.0106); HMEC: 0.74 ± 0.02 vs. 0.52 ± 0.04 (p = 0.009); THP-1: 0.58 ± 0.01 vs. 0.64 ± 0.01 (p > 0.05) and ex vivo. Interestingly, re-epithelialization was stimulated in a frequency-independent manner. The inhibition of metabolic activity after TNF-α application was abolished after laser treatment. No impact of LILT on monocytes was detected. Likewise, the tested LILT regimens showed no growth rate reducing effects on three bacterial strains (after 72 h - PA: -1.03%; SA: -0.02%; EF: -1,89%) and one fungal (-2.06%) biofilm producing species compared to the respective untreated control. Accordingly, no significant morphological changes of the biofilms were observed after LILT treatment in the SEM. CONCLUSIONS Frequent application of LILT (904 nm, 3200 Hz) seems to be beneficial for the metabolism of human dermal cells during wound healing. Considering this, the lack of disturbance of the behavior of the immune cells and no growth-inducing effect on bacteria and fungi in the biofilm can be assigned as rather positive. Based on this combined mode of action, LILT may be an option for hard to heal wounds infected with persistent biofilms.

Abstract
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a genetic red blood cell disorder characterized by increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) and a concordant reduction in antioxidant capacity in the endothelium. Superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2) is a mitochondrial-localized enzyme that catalyzes the dismutation of superoxide to hydrogen peroxide. Decreased peripheral blood expression of SOD2 is correlated with increased hemolysis and cardiomyopathy in SCD. Here, we report for the first time that endothelial cells exhibit reduced SOD2 protein expression in the pulmonary endothelium of SCD patients. To investigate the impact of decreased SOD2 expression in the endothelium, SOD2 was knocked down in human pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells (hPMVECs). We found that SOD2 deficiency in hPMVECs results in endothelial cell dysfunction, including reduced cellular adhesion, diminished migration, integrin protein dysregulation, and disruption of permeability. Furthermore, we uncover that SOD2 mediates changes in endothelial cell function via processing of fibronectin through its inability to facilitate dimerization. These results demonstrate that endothelial cells are deficient in SOD2 expression in SCD patients and suggest a novel pathway for SOD2 in regulating fibronectin processing.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Piper crocatum Ruiz & Pav (P. crocatum) has been reported to accelerate the diabetic wound healing process empirically. Some studies showed the benefits of P. crocatum in treating various diseases but its mechanisms in diabetic wound healing have never been reported. In the present study we investigated the diabetic wound healing activity of the active fraction of P. crocatum on wounded hyperglycemia fibroblasts (wHFs). METHODS Bioassay-guided fractionation was performed to get the most active fraction. The selected active fraction was applied to wHFs within 72 h incubation. Mimicking a diabetic condition was done using basal glucose media containing an additional 17 mMol/L D-glucose. A wound was simulated via the scratch assay. The collagen deposition was measured using Picro-Sirius Red and wound closure was measured using scratch wound assay. Underlying mechanisms through p53, αSMA, SOD1 and E-cadherin were measured using western blotting. RESULTS We reported that FIV is the most active fraction of P. crocatum. We confirmed that FIV \(7.81 µg/ml, 15.62 µg/ml, 31.25 µg/ml, 62.5 µg/ml, and 125 µg/ml) induced the collagen deposition and wound closure of wHFs. Furthermore, FIV treatment (7.81 µg/ml, 15.62 µg/ml, 31.25 µg/ml) down-regulated the protein expression level of p53 and up-regulated the protein expression levels of αSMA, E-cadherin, and SOD1. DISCUSSION/CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest that ameliorating collagen deposition and wound closure through protein regulation of p53, αSMA, E-cadherin, and SOD1 are some of the mechanisms by which FIV of P. crocatum is involved in diabetic wound healing therapy.

Abstract
Skin wounds represent a burden in healthcare. Our aim was to investigate for the first time the effects of defocused high-power diode laser (DHPL) on skin healing in an animal experimental model and compare it with gold standard low-level laser therapy. Male Wistar rats were divided into 5 groups: Negative control; Sham; 0.1 W laser (L0.1 W); DHPL Dual 1 W (DHPLD1 W); and DHPL Dual 2 W (DHPLD2 W). Rats were euthanized on days 3, 5, 10, 14 and 21. Clinical, morphological, PicroSirus, oxidative stress (MDA, SOD and GSH) and cytokines (IL-1β, IL-10 and TNF-α) analyses were performed. A faster clinical repair was observed in all laser groups at D10 and D14. DHPLD1 W exhibited lower inflammation and better reepithelization compared to other groups at D10. DHPL protocols modulated oxidative stress by decreasing MDA and increasing SOD and GSH. Collagen maturation was triggered by all protocols tested and L0.1 W modulated cytokines release (IL-1β and TNF-α) at D3. In conclusion, DHPL, especially DHPL1 W protocol, accelerated skin healing by triggering reepithelization and collagen maturation and modulating inflammation and oxidative stress.

Effect of NIR Laser Therapy by MLS-MiS Source on Fibroblast Activation by Inflammatory Cytokines in Relation to Wound Healing. Biomedicines 2021; 9:biomedicines9030307. [PMID: 33809724 PMCID: PMC8002295 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines9030307] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/27/2021] [Revised: 03/05/2021] [Accepted: 03/12/2021] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
The fine control of inflammation following injury avoids fibrotic scars or impaired wounds. Due to side effects by anti-inflammatory drugs, the research is continuously active to define alternative therapies. Among them, physical countermeasures such as photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) are considered effective and safe. To study the cellular and molecular events associated with the anti-inflammatory activity of PBMT by a dual-wavelength NIR laser source, human dermal fibroblasts were exposed to a mix of inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β and TNF-α) followed by laser treatment once a day for three days. Inducible inflammatory key enzymatic pathways, as iNOS and COX-2/mPGES-1/PGE2, were upregulated by the cytokine mix while PBMT reverted their levels and activities. The same behavior was observed with the proangiogenic factor vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), involved in neovascularization of granulation tissue. From a molecular point of view, PBMT retained NF-kB cytoplasmatic localization. According to a change in cell morphology, differences in expression and distribution of fundamental cytoskeletal proteins were observed following treatments. Tubulin, F-actin, and α-SMA changed their organization upon cytokine stimulation, while PBMT reestablished the basal localization. Cytoskeletal rearrangements occurring after inflammatory stimuli were correlated with reorganization of membrane α5β1 and fibronectin network as well as with their upregulation, while PBMT induced significant downregulation. Similar changes were observed for collagen I and the gelatinolytic enzyme MMP-1. In conclusion, the present study demonstrates that the proposed NIR laser therapy is effective in controlling fibroblast activation induced by IL-1β and TNF-α, likely responsible for a deleterious effect of persistent inflammation.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus, a complex metabolic disorder, leads to many health complications like kidney failure, diabetic heart disease, stroke, and foot ulcers. Treatment approaches of diabetes and identification of the mechanisms underlying diabetic complications of the skin have gained importance due to continued rapid increase in the diabetes incidence. A thick and pre-vascularized in vitro 3D type 2 diabetic human skin model (DHSM) was developed in this study. The methacrylated gelatin (GelMA) hydrogel was produced by photocrosslinking and its pore size (54.85 ± 8.58 μm), compressive modulus (4.53 ± 0.67 kPa) and swelling ratio (17.5 ± 2.2%) were found to be suitable for skin tissue engineering. 8% GelMA hydrogel effectively supported the viability, spreading and proliferation of human dermal fibroblasts. By isolating dermal fibroblasts, human umbilical vein endothelial cells and keratinocytes from type 2 diabetic patients, an in vitro 3D type 2 DHSM, 12 mm in width and 1.86 mm thick, was constructed. The skin model consisted of a continuous basal epidermal layer and a dermal layer with blood capillary-like structures, ideal for evaluating the effects of anti-diabetic drugs and wound healing materials and factors. The functionality of the DHSM was showed by applying a therapeutic hydrogel into its central wound; especially fibroblast migration to the wound site was evident in 9 d. We have demonstrated that DHSM is a biologically relevant model with sensitivity and predictability in evaluating the diabetic wound healing potential of a therapeutic material.

Abstract
Background: Cellular senescence is one of the major factors contributing to the aging process. Photobiomodulation (PBM) is known to trigger an array of cellular responses, but there are no data on how it affects the process of cellular senescence. In this study, we analyze the effect of PBM on the cellular senescence and telomere dynamics. Methods: Human dermal fibroblasts were irradiated by a panel of light-emitting diodes with 590 nm and dose 30 J/cm2 accumulated over 1200 sec repeated in 4-day cycle within 40 days. After the last cycle of PBM treatment, the difference in number of senescent cells between PBM treated groups end nontreated control groups was measured by senescent sensitive β-galactosidase assay, and the difference in average telomere length between the experimental end control groups was analyzed using relative human telomere length quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (qPCR) assay. Results: After 10 cycles of irradiation, the percentage of senescent cells in PBM-treated cultures was 19.7% ± 4.5%, p < 0.05 smaller than the percentage of senescent cells in the control group, and their relative telomere length was 1.19 ± 0.09-fold, p < 0.05 greater than nontreated controls. Conclusions: Our study demonstrates for the first time that PBM with appropriate parameters can delay the attrition of the telomeres and the entry of cells into senescence, suggesting a potential involvement of telomerase reactivation. A hypothetical mechanism for this light-induced antiaging effect is discussed.

Abstract
Impaired wound healing is a common complication of diabetes mellitus (DM) and the underlying mechanism of this impairment is still unclear. Fibroblast, as the main reconstructing cell, secretes some critical growth factors and cytokine contributing to wound healing. It is well known that DM alters the behavior of these cells and photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) compensates some impairments in diabetic fibroblasts. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to demonstrate the impact of diabetes and the role of PBMT through low level laser irradiation on secretory profile of human diabetic fibroblasts. Primary human dermal fibroblasts from normal (HDFs) and diabetic (DHDFs) donors were harvested. For PBMT, the DHDFs were irradiated with a Helium-Neon laser at 632.8 nm wavelength and energy density of 0.5 J/cm2, as laser treated group (LT-DHDFs). Next, some cellular behaviors and secretory profiling array for 60 growth factors/cytokines were investigated in LT-DHDFs and then compared with those of controls. The data showed that the PBMT could compensate such impairments occurred in DHDFs in terms of viability, proliferation, and migration. Furthermore, considering our novel findings, out of those 20 growth factors/cytokines involved in cell proliferation, immune system regulation, and cell-cell communication pathways, which significantly decreased in DHDF as compared with HDFs, the PBMT could compensate seven in LT-DHDFs as compared with DHDFs. The seven growth factor/cytokines, which are mainly involved in cell-cell communication, positive regulation of cell proliferation, and chemokine mediated pathway included BDNF, Eotaxin-3, FGF6, FGF7, Fractalkine, fit-3ligand, and GCP-2. Therefore, it is suggested that scrutinizing these differentially secreted molecules and the impaired pathways in DHDFs, in combination with those compensated in LT-DHDFs, could raise our knowledge to manage diabetic ulcer through a feasible and cost effective intervention, specifically PBMT.

Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to compare the efficacy of diode laser surgery and the scalpel surgery in the removal of inflammatory fibrous hyperplasia (IFH). Background data: Diode laser systems are proposed as an alternative to scalpel surgery on surgeries involving oral soft tissues. Some of the advantages of the laser systems are ease of application, adequate coagulation, reduced postoperative pain, and decreased scarring. In addition, there are increasing data on the antibacterial effects of the diode lasers in dentistry; however, the direct bactericidal role of the diode laser in oral soft tissue procedures has not yet been investigated. Materials and methods: A total of 22 patients were enrolled in this study. One side of IFH was randomly assigned for excision with scalpel blade or with diode laser. Perioperative bleeding, postoperative pain, wound healing, and bacterial counts were evaluated for both methods. Results: The bleeding on the side treated by diode laser was found significantly lower (p < 0.05). A notable reduction in total bacterial counts was observed in the laser group after the first postoperative day. However, this trend did not reach statistical significance. No significant differences were recorded regarding subjective postoperative pain between the groups (p = 0.065). The healing of the postoperative wounds was significantly faster in the conventional group at each time point. Conclusions: Diode laser has offered some advantages over conventional method in the management of IFH. However, large-cohort comparative studies are required to provide additional data regarding the wound healing capacity of the diode laser.
