          Primary and secondary mechanisms of action of visible to near-IR radiation on cells.

          T Karu (1999)
          Cytochrome c oxidase is discussed as a possible photoacceptor when cells are irradiated with monochromatic red to near-IR radiation. Four primary action mechanisms are reviewed: changes in the redox properties of the respiratory chain components following photoexcitation of their electronic states, generation of singlet oxygen, localized transient heating of absorbing chromophores, and increased superoxide anion production with subsequent increase in concentration of the product of its dismutation, H2O2. A cascade of reactions connected with alteration in cellular homeostasis parameters (pHi, [Cai], cAMP, Eh, [ATP] and some others) is considered as a photosignal transduction and amplification chain in a cell (secondary mechanisms).

            Effects of monochromatic low-intensity light and laser irradiation on adhesion of HeLa cells in vitro

            The adhesion of HeLa cells was evaluated after irradiation with monochromatic low-intensity light or laser irradiation. It is well known that the cell-cell and cell-matrix adhesion changes during wound repair. For better understanding of low-power laser light action on the wound healing process, it would be of interest to study the light action on cellular adhesion in vitro.
