Resumo IPEN-doc 26888 Effects of low-level laser irradiation on VEGF expression of melanoma cell lines2020 - CONTATORI, C.G. de S.; SILVA, C.R.; YOSHIMURA, T.M.; RIBEIRO, M.S.Impact of low-level laser irradiation on tumor cell lines remains controversial. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a key molecule to form new blood vessels, which contribute for cancer development and growth. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of different light fluences on human melanoma SKMEL 37 cells and murine melanoma B16F10 cells using a near infrared laser (λ= 780 nm) with output power of 40 mW delivering energies of 1.2, 3.6 and 6 J (fluences of 30, 90 and 150 J/cm2, respectively). The cell lines were irradiated 24 h after they were seeded in a 96-well plate at a density of 5x103 cells per well, in triplicate at three different days. Following irradiation, both cell line supernatants were stored in Eppendorf tubes at - 20°C until VEGF-A expression measurement. Specific ELISA kits were used according to cell line (murine or human). Samples and standard solutions were added in a 96-well plate antibody-coated and incuba ted over night at 4°C. Reagent dilution and set time followed fabricant instructions. The stop solution was added and the absorbance was read in a microplate reader at 450 nm. Results showed a non-statistically significant difference among treated and control groups for both cell lines. These findings indicate that irradiation with near infrared laser does not influence VEGF expression on melanoma cell lines regardless the fluence used and should be tested to prevent cancer growth in preclinical assays.Artigo IPEN-doc 25943 Effects of near-infrared low level laser irradiation on melanoma cells2019 - CONTATORI, CAROLINA G. de S.; SILVA, CAMILA R.; RIBEIRO, MARTHA S.Low-level laser (LLL) therapy promotes biostimulating effects in cell cultures growing in nutritional deficit. However, the effects of LLLs on tumor cell lines remain controversial. Studies indicate stimulatory, inhibitory or even no influence in this type of cells. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of LLL irradiation on the cell viability (with and without nutritional deficit) of human melanoma SKMEL 37 cells and murine melanoma B16F10 cells using an infrared laser (k = 780 nm) with different radiant exposures. The cell lines were subjected to the LLL 24 h after they were seeded in a 96-well plate at a density of 5 104 cells per well. The analysis of cell proliferation by mitochondrial activity occurred at intervals of 24 and 72 h after laser irradiation. At each time, culture medium was removed and 180 μL of PBS and 20 μL of MTT were added. The plates were incubated for 4 h and the absorbance was read in a microplate reader at 570 nm. Results showed a non-significant statistical difference among the groups for both cell lines regardless the nutritional medium. The metabolic pattern was similar among the groups. It is concluded that irradiation with 780 nm laser light at radiant exposures of 30, 90 and 150 J/cm2 and an output power of 40 mW does not promote cell proliferation on melanoma cell lines.
