Angiogenic protein synthesis after photobiomodulation therapy on SHED: a preliminary study

This study evaluated the viability, proliferation, and protein expression after photobiomodulation (PBM) of stem cell from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED). The groups were the following: G1 (2.5  J/cm2), G2 (3.7 J/cm2), and control (not irradiated). According to the groups, cells were irradiated with InGaAlP diode laser at 660 nm wavelength, continuous mode, and single time application. After 6 h, 12 h, and 24 h from irradiation, the cell viability and proliferation, and the protein e xpression were analyzed by MTT, crystal violet, and ELISA multiplex assay, respectively. Twenty-four hours after PBM, SHED showed better proliferation. Over time in the supernatant, all groups had an increase at the levels of VEGF-C, VEGF-A, and PLGF. In the lysate, the control and G2 exhibited a de crease of the VEGF-A, PECAM-1, and PLGF expression, while control and G3 decreased VEGF-C, VEGF-A, and PDGF expression. The dosimetries of 2.5 J/cm2 and 3.7 J/cm2 maintained viability, improved proliferation, and synthesis of the angiogenic proteins in the supernatant in the studied periods on SHE D.
