Effect of 660nm LED photobiomodulation on proliferation and chondrogenic of meniscus-derived stem cells (MeSCs)

Background: Meniscus-derived stem cells (MeSCs), a unique type of MSC, have outstanding advantages in meniscal cytotherapy and tissue engineering, but the effects and molecular mechanisms of PBM on MeSCs are still unclear. Methods: We used 660-nm LED light with different energy densities to irradiat...

description Background: Meniscus-derived stem cells (MeSCs), a unique type of MSC, have outstanding advantages in meniscal cytotherapy and tissue engineering, but the effects and molecular mechanisms of PBM on MeSCs are still unclear. Methods: We used 660-nm LED light with different energy densities to irradiate six human MeSC samples and tested their proliferation rate via cell counting, chondrogenic differentiation capacity via the DMMB assay, mitochondrial activity via the MTT assay, and gene expression via qPCR. Results: The proliferation ability, chondrogenic capacity and mitochondrial activity of the 18 J/cm2 group were greater than those of the 4 J/cm2 and control groups. The mRNA expression levels of Akt, PI3K, TGFβ3, Ki67 and Notch-1 in the 18 J/cm2 group were greater than those in the other groups in most samples. After chondrogenic induction, the expression of Col2A1, Sox9 and Aggrecan in the 18 J/cm2 group was significantly greater than that in the 4 J/cm2 and control groups in most of the samples. The variation in the MTT values and Src, PI3K, Akt, mTOR and GSK3β levels decreased with time. Conclusion: The results showed that 660-nm LED red light promoted proliferation and chondrogenic differentiation and affected the gene expression of MeSCs, and the effects on gene expression and mitochondrial activity decreased with time.
