Abstract
Introduction: The purpose of this study is to achieve a significant increase in the proliferative activity of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) of the bone marrow (BM) at early passages after laser exposure to a suspension of these cells and to estimate the effect of light and heat components of laser radiation on the proliferation of BM MSCs.
Methods: The studies were performed on rats with BM MSCs. MSC suspension was placed into the wells and heated by using laser radiation (980 nm wavelength) or a water bath at 70 °C providing similar temperature dynamics. The studies were carried out in 3 comparison groups: (1) control suspension of MSCs, which was not subjected to heating in a water bath or laser exposure; (2) MSC suspension, which was heated in a water bath; and (3) suspension of MSCs, which was subjected to laser exposure. The exposure times for the 2nd and 3rd experimental groups were 10- 50 seconds.
Results: Under optimal parameters of laser action on the suspension of BM MSCs, a six-fold increase in the number of BM MSCs colonies was registered compared to the control. The role of the light and heat components of laser exposure to MSCs was determined by comparable heating of a suspension of BM MSCs in a water bath, at which only a twofold increase in the number of colonies was maximally obtained.
Conclusion: The increase in the MSC proliferation activity occurs due to their ThermoPhotobiomodulation. The result obtained is important for practical use in cell transplantation in the treatment of traumatic injuries of bone, cartilage, and tendon tissues when a rapid and multiple increase in the initial number of autologous BM MSCs is required.
