Popis: In order to gain an insight into the mechanism of cell photostimulation by laser light, protein synthesis was measured in hepatocytes irradiated with a low-power, continuous-wave HeNe laser (fluence, 0.24 J cm−2; fluence rate, 7 and 12 mW cm−2). As a result of irradiation the rate and amount of 35S-methionine incorporated into newly synthesized proteins increased, as demonstrated by gel electrophoresis and quantitative analysis of labelled protein bands. The stimulation of protein synthesis was fluence dependent, with a maximum stimulation at 0.24 J cm−2 for both fluence rates (12 and 7 mW cm−2). Both cytosolic and mitochondrial protein synthesis increased as a result of irradiation, as demonstrated by the measurement of hepatocytes previously treated with chloramphenicol and cycloheximide respectively. An initial investigation showed that stimulation of protein synthesis also occurred in hepatocytes irradiated with a non-coherent radiation source (fluence, 0.24 J cm−2).
