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/cm 2 , 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.

The aim of the study was to investigate the impact of multiwave locked system (MLS M1) emitting synchronized laser radiation at 2 wavelength simultaneous (λ = 808 nm, λ = 905 nm) on the mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Human MSCs were exposed to MLS M1 system laser radiation with the power density 195–318 mW/cm2 and doses of energy 3–20 J, in continuous wave emission (CW) or pulsed emission (PE). After irradiation exposure in doses of energy 3 J, 10 J (CW, ƒ = 1000 Hz), and 20 J (ƒ = 2000 Hz), increased proliferation of MSCs was observed. Significant reduction of Fluo-4 Direct™ Ca2+ indicator fluorescence over controls after CW and PE with 3 J, 10 J, and 20 J was noticed. A decrease in fluorescence intensity after the application of radiation with a frequency of 2000 Hz in doses of 3 J, 10 J, and 20 J was observed. In contrary, an increase in DCF fluorescence intensity after irradiation with laser radiation of 3 J, 10 J, and 20 J (CW, ƒ = 1000 Hz and ƒ = 2000 Hz) was also shown. Laser irradiation at a dose of 20 J, emitted at 1000 Hz and 2000 Hz, and 3 J emitted at a frequency of 2000 Hz caused a statistically significant loss of MSC viability. The applied photobiomodulation therapy induced a strong pro-apoptotic effect dependent on the laser irradiation exposure time, while the application of a sufficiently high-energy dose and frequency with a sufficiently long exposure time significantly increased intracellular calcium ion concentration and free radical production by MSCs.

Authors of numerous publications have proved the therapeutic effect of laser irradiation on biological material, but the mechanisms at cellular and subcellular level are not yet well understood. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of laser radiation emitted by the MLS M1 system (Multiwave Locked System) at two wavelengths (808 nm continuous and 905 nm pulsed) on the stability and fluidity of liposomes with a lipid composition similar to that of human erythrocyte membrane or made of phosphatidylocholine. Liposomes were exposed to low-energy laser radiation at surface densities 195 mW/cm (frequency 1,000 Hz) and 230 mW/cm (frequency 2,000 Hz). Different doses of radiation energy in the range 0-15 J were applied. The surface energy density was within the range 0.46 - 4.9 J/cm . The fluidity and stability of liposomes subjected to such irradiation changed depending on the parameters of radiation used. Since MLS M1 laser radiation, depending on the parameters used, affects fluidity and stability of liposomes with the lipid content similar to erythrocyte membrane, it may also cause structural and functional changes in cell membranes.

The biostimulating activity of low level laser radiation of various wavelengths and energy doses is widely documented in the literature, but the mechanisms of the intracellular reactions involved are not precisely known. The aim of this paper is to evaluate the influence of low level laser radiation from an multiwave locked system (MLS) of two wavelengths (wavelength  =  808 nm in continuous emission and 905 nm in pulsed emission) on the human erythrocyte membrane and on the secondary structure of human serum albumin (HSA). Human erythrocytes membranes and HSA were irradiated with laser light of low intensity with surface energy density ranging from 0.46 to 4.9 J cm −2 and surface energy power density 195 mW cm −2 (1,000 Hz) and 230 mW cm −2 (2,000 Hz). Structural and functional changes in the erythrocyte membrane were characterized by its fluidity, while changes in the protein were monitored by its secondary structure. Dose-dependent changes in erythrocyte membrane fluidity were induced by near-infrared laser radiation. Slight changes in the secondary structure of HSA were also noted. MLS laser radiation influences the structure and function of the human erythrocyte membrane resulting in a change in fluidity.
