gene regulation LED multi-wavelength osteogenesis photobiomodulation spectral width
Background and Aim
This study evaluated mitochondrial and osteogenic activity in MG-63 pre-osteoblastic cells after photobiomodulation (PBM) using multiple near-infrared LED sources (Nuralyte) emitting wavelengths from 700 to 1100 nm.
Materials and Methods
MG-63 cells were irradiated daily for 3, 5, or 7 days with energy densities of 5.3 J/cm2 (30 s, optimal dose) and 10.6 J/cm2 (60 s, high dose). Mitochondrial function was assessed using the XF Seahorse analyzer, and gene expression of osteogenic markers was analyzed.
Results
Maximal mitochondrial oxygen consumption rate (OCR) significantly decreased at the optimal dose but increased at the high dose (p < 0.001) in 5-day irradiated cultures. Upregulation of osteogenic markers (OCN, OPN, BMP-2, COL-1, RUNX2) occurred after 3–5 consecutive days of irradiation, with greater activation at the optimal dose.
Conclusion
MG-63 cells respond to PBM using MNI-LEDs (700, 850, 980 nm) by modulating mitochondrial respiration and boosting bone-related gene expression in a dose- and time-dependent manner.
