RESUMEN

Müller cells, the supporting cells of the retina, play a key role in responding to retinal stress by releasing chemokines, including CCL2, to recruit microglia and macrophages (MG/MΦ) into the damaged retina. Photobiomodulation (PBM) with 670 nm light has been shown to reduce inflammation in models of retinal degeneration. In this study, we aimed to investigate whether 670 nm light had an effect on Müller cell-initiated inflammation under retinal photo-oxidative damage (PD) in vivo and in vitro. Sprague-Dawley rats were pre-treated with 670 nm light (9J/cm2) once daily over 5 days prior to PD. The expression of inflammatory genes including CCL2 and IL-1ß was analysed in retinas. In vitro, primary Müller cells dissociated from neonatal rat retinas were co-cultured with 661W photoreceptor cells. Co-cultures were exposed to PD, followed by 670 nm light treatment to the Müller cells only, and Müller cell stress and inflammation were assessed. Primary MG/MΦ were incubated with supernatant from the co-cultures, and collected for analysis of inflammatory activation. To further understand the mechanism of 670 nm light, the expression of COX5a and mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm) were measured in Müller cells. Following PD, 670 nm light-treated Müller cells had a reduced inflammatory activation, with lower levels of CCL2, IL-1ß and IL-6. Supernatant from 670 nm light-treated co-cultures reduced activation of primary MG/MΦ, and lowered the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines, compared to untreated PD controls. Additionally, 670 nm light-treated Müller cells had an increased expression of COX5a and an elevated ΔΨm following PD, suggesting that retrograde signaling plays a role in the effects of 670 nm light on Müller cell gene expression. Our data indicates that 670 nm light reduces Müller cell-mediated retinal inflammation, and offers a potential cellular mechanism for 670 nm light therapy in regulating inflammation associated with retinal degenerations.

RESUMEN

INTRODUCTION: To investigate the validity of using 670nm red light as a preventative treatment for Retinopathy of Prematurity in two animal models of oxygen-induced retinopathy (OIR). MATERIALS AND METHODS: During and post exposure to hyperoxia, C57BL/6J mice or Sprague-Dawley rats were exposed to 670 nm light for 3 minutes a day (9J/cm²). Whole mounted retinas were investigated for evidence of vascular abnormalities, while sections of neural retina were used to quantify levels of cell death using the TUNEL technique. Organs were removed, weighed and independent histopathology examination performed. RESULTS: 670 nm light reduced neovascularisation, vaso-obliteration and abnormal peripheral branching patterns of retinal vessels in OIR. The neural retina was also protected against OIR by 670 nm light exposure. OIR-exposed animals had severe lung pathology, including haemorrhage and oedema, that was significantly reduced in 670 nm+OIR light-exposed animals. There were no significance differences in the organ weights of animals in the 670 nm light-exposed animals, and no adverse effects of exposure to 670 nm light were detected. DISCUSSION: Low levels of exposure to 670 nm light protects against OIR and lung damage associated with exposure to high levels of oxygen, and may prove to be a non-invasive and inexpensive preventative treatment for ROP and chronic lung disease associated with prematurity.
