dc.description.abstract | Objective: the aim of this work was to investigate the low-level laser therapy (LLLT) effect on alveolar macrophages (AM) activated by oxidative stress and lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Background data: LLLT has been reported to actuate positively relieving the late and early symptoms of airway and lung inflammation. It is not known if the increased MIP-2mRNA expression and intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation observed in acute lung inflammation (ALI) can be influenced by LLLT. Materials and Methods: Rat AM cell line (AMJ2-C11) was cultured with LPS or H(2)O(2) and laser irradiated. MIP-2mRNA and ROS production in the AM were evaluated by Real Time-PCR and the 2',7'-dichlorofluorescin diacetate (DCFH-DA) respectively. the NF-kappa B protein in the AM was measured by the enzyme linked immunoassay method. To investigate the antioxidant effect of laser, the AM were prebathed with N-acetylcysteine (NAC) and then irradiated with laser. LLLT was also studied in the presence of an inhibitor of NF-kappa B (BMS 205820). in addition, the effect of LLLT on NF-kappa B protein was investigated. Results: LLLT attenuated the MIP-2mRNA expression and intracellular ROS generation after LPS or H(2)O(2). When the AM were pretreated with NAC, the laser effect was potentiated. BMS 205820 suppresses the effect of LLLT on MIP-2mRNA expression and ROS generation, stimulated by LPS or H(2)O(2). On NF-kappa B transcription factor, both the LLLT and NAC reduced this protein in the AM exposed to LPS or H(2)O(2). the synergistic effect between LLLT and NAC on the reduction the NF-kappa B was also evidenced. Conclusion: Results indicate that there is a synergistic action of LLLT with NAC on MIP-2mRNA expression from LPS-or H(2)O(2)-stimulated AM, and that both ROS intracellular generation and NF-kB signaling seem to be involved. | en |
