Item Photobiomodulation assay of muscle cells C2C12 after irradiation with LED device(CDRR Editors) Lima, Elessandro Váguino de; Pacheco-Soares, Cristina; Silva, Newton Soares daIntroduction:One of the ways that have been observed to reduce musculoskeletal fatigue is the use of protocols for the application of light sources (photobiomodulation) such as low-intensity laser and LED (Light Emitting Diode). Work involving photobiomodulation has shown promising results in strength performance or reduction of muscle fatigue. At the cellular level,photobiomodulation can modulate fibroblasts proliferation, the fixation and synthesis of collagen and procollagen, promote angiogenesis and improving energy metabolism in mitochondria. Compared with laser devices, LED has several advantages, such as beingsmaller, lighter, lower cost, and easier for operation. Objective:The present work objective is to verify if irradiation with LED device (650 nm and 860 nm) in muscle cells C2C12 modify the viability, morphology and cytoskeleton components. Methodology:C2C12 cells line (ATCC CRL -1772) were cultured in 25 cm2bottles at 37ºC under 5% CO2in DMEM. The cells wereirradiated with the light-emitting diodes (LED) device, Sportllux Ultra that consists of 84 LEDs, each individual LED has 8 mW of power, emitting in 660±20 nm (42 LEDs) and 850±20 nm (42 LEDs), and covering anarea (A) of 120 cm2. The power density of delivered light was 5,6 mW/cm2, and the exposure time was 10 minutes, totalizing the fluence of 3,4 J/cm2. Viability assay was performed where the cells were incubated with 100 μL of Crystal Violet (CV) solution and mitochondrial activity assay was evaluated by the colorimetric MTT assay. Nucleus (DAPI) and Cytoskeleton (Rhodamine Phalloidin) fluorescence assay was performed to study the cytoskeleton based on the change in the actin filaments. Results:Our results demonstrate that the synergism of LED irradiation (660nm and 850nm) induced the proliferation of C2C12 cells. The light-emitting diode (LED) device, Sportllux Ultra has a significant effect on C2C12 cell culture. Mitochondrial activity and cell viability showed a significative increase in their activities after irradiation. The microscopy fluorescence observations showed an alignment of cytoskeletal components of C2C12 cells after irradiation.Conclusion:The application of irradiation with the Sportlux Ultra LED device stimulated an increase of energy by mitochondrial activity assay, number of cells by cell viability assay and alignment of cytoskeleton components by fluorescence assay in C2C12line cells. Our results suggest that organizated cytoskeletal actin filaments normally contribute to cell survival and that induced major cell changes in the cytoskeleton that result in cell shape change. These results suggest that the Sport Lux Ultra LEDdevice can help in the repair of tissue injuries and to collaborate to increase of performance in athletes in a faster wayItem Effects of photobiomodulation on the growth of intestinal bacteria(CDRR Editor) Supino, Carolina; Pacheco Soares, Cristina; Silva, Newton Soares daNecrotizing enterocolitis is an inflammatory bowel disease that occurs in newborns, more commonly in preterm infants. It is the leading cause of death from gastrointestinal diseases in neonates, and is characterized by the development of diffuse intestinal necrosis in premature infants subjected to stress. The high incidence and lack of effective treatment strategies suggest that new approaches to treating the disease are needed. It is in this context that the possibility of using photobiomodulation as a therapeutic modality arises. However, studies on the use of photobiomodulation in intestinal bacteria are scarce. To study the effect of photobiomodulation used in clinical parameters on the growth of bacteria commonly present in the newborn microbiota. Four strains of bacteria were chosen to be studied, two belonging to healthy intestinal microbiota, Lactobacillus acidophilus and Lactobacillus reuteri, and two pathogenic bacteria, Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. These bacteria were cultivated in planktonic growth and irradiated with LED at a wavelength of 660 nm and a power density of 0.025 W/cm , at fluences of 1, 5 and 10 J/cm . The evaluation of cell growth was performed through absorbance readings in the periods of 4h, 24h and 48h after irradiation. The growth of L. acidophilus, L. reuteri and S. aureus did not undergo biomodulation in any of the fluences. The growth of E. coli was stimulated at 1 J/cm2 when compared to the Control group, with statistical significance (p<0.005). In the other fluencies there was no biostimulation for the E. coli bacteria. The use of a wavelength of 660 nm in the fluences of 5 J/cm2 and 10 J/cm2 in the studied bacteria did not lead to a significant change in the growth rate.
