Abstract: | We studied how short-term preexposure of the thymus zone in male outbred NMRI mice to helium-neon laser light (632.8 nm, 0.2 mW/cm2) affects the activity of cells of the immune system under acute toxic stress. The stress was modeled by introducing a bacterial lipopolysaccharide that significantly enhanced the production of a number of cytokines in macrophages: interleukins 1α, 1β, 6, and 10, and tumor necrosis factor TNF-α. Single exposure of healthy mice to laser light did not cause any significant change in the production of cytokines and nitric oxide in cells but increased the production of the heat shock proteins HSP25, HSP70, and HSP90. Nonetheless, if mice were exposed to red light before inducing toxic stress, then the production of almost all the cytokines studied and nitric oxide was noticeably normalized. Moreover, the production of the heat shock proteins studied was also normalized. Thus, preexposure of a small region of the animal skin surface to laser light markedly decreased the toxic effect of lipopolysaccharide. |
