Modulation of Low Intensity Laser Irradiation on Expression Suppression of Circadian Clock Genes in Cultured Fibroblasts
The effects of low intensity 810 nm laser irradiation (LIDL) to the tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α induced expression suppression of circadian clock genes in cultured NIH3T3 fibroblasts are investigated. The fibroblasts shocked by horse serum for 2 h are induced with TNF-α of 10 ng/mL, and then irradiated by different doses of LIDL once. The results show that TNF-α induced inhibition effect of the circadian clock gene expression can be modulated by LIDL, which may be mediated by nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide/ reduced form of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotid (NAD+/NADH) and sirtuin 1 (SIRT1).
