Popis: Abstract Research into the efficacy of photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) in reducing inflammation has been ongoing for years, but standards for irradiation methodology still need to be developed. This study aimed to test whether PBMT stimulates in vitro human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) to synthesize pro-inflammatory cytokines, including chemokines. PBMCs were irradiated with laser radiation at two wavelengths simultaneously (λ = 808 nm in continuous emission and λ = 905 nm in pulsed emission). The laser radiation energy was dosed in one dose as a whole (5 J, 15 J, 20 J) or in a fractionated way (5 J + 15 J and 15 J + 5 J) with a frequency of 500, 1,500 and 2,000 Hz. The surface power densities were 177, 214 and 230 mW/cm2, respectively. A pro-inflammatory effect was observed at both the transcript and protein levels for IL-1β after PBMT at the energy doses 5 J and 20 J (ƒ=500 Hz) and only at the transcript level after application of PBMT at energy doses of 20 J (ƒ= 1,500; ƒ=2,000 Hz) and 5 + 15 J (ƒ=500 Hz). An increase in CCL2 and CCL3 mRNA expression was observed after PBMT at 5 + 15 J (ƒ=1,500 Hz) and 15 + 5 J (ƒ=2,000 Hz) and CCL3 concentration after application of an energy dose of 15 J (frequency of 500 Hz). Even though PBMT can induce mRNA synthesis and stimulate PBMCs to produce selected pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines, it is necessary to elucidate the impact of the simultaneous emission of two wavelengths on the inflammatory response mechanisms.
