Abstract

The aim of this paper is to study the effect of low-level laser irradiation (LLLI) on proliferation of myoblasts in culture. Myoblasts derived from rat skeletal muscle were irradiated by He-Ne laser with different doses. Compared with nonirradiated control group, the number of myoblasts increased when the cells in normal culture conditions were exposed to the laser of specific energy density. The amount of cells with proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) positive expression and the 5-bromo-2′-deoxyuridine (BrdU) incorporation rate after laser irradiation were also higher than that of the control group, suggesting that LLLL at certain doses can effectively enhance myoblasts growth activity in vitro. This study firstly demonstrated that stimulating myoblasts to enter into proliferative stage from initial resting state was an important mechanism of regeneration and repair of injured skeletal muscle promoted by LLLI in clinical treatment.
