Abstract：
:Apoptosis, or programmed cell death, resulting from cerebral ischemia may be related to decreased levels of anti-apoptotic factors, such as serine/threonine kinase (Akt), phosphorylated Akt (pAkt), pBAD, and Bcl-2, and increased levels of pro-apoptotic factors, such as BAD, caspase 9, and caspase 3 activities. In this study, we investigated the effects of low-energy laser (660 nm) irradiation (LLI) on the levels and activity of various anti- and pro-apoptotic factors following ischemia. Transient cerebral ischemia was induced in Sprague-Dawley rats by unilateral occlusion of the middle cerebral artery for 1 h, followed by reperfusion. LLI was then directed on the cerebrum for varying lengths of duration (1, 5, or 10 min at an energy density of 2.64 J/cm², 13.2 J/cm², and 24.6 J/cm², respectively). The expression levels of Akt, pAkt, BAD, pBAD, Bcl-2, caspase 9, and caspase 3 activities were measured 4 days after injury. The levels of Akt, pAkt, Bcl-2, and pBAD were significantly increased following laser irradiation. In addition, LLI significantly decreased caspase 9 and caspase 3 activities caused by ischemia-reperfusion. LLI may protect the brain by upregulating Akt, pAkt, pBAD, and Bcl-2 expression and downregulating caspase 9 and caspase 3 expression following transient cerebral ischemia. This modality is a promising protective therapeutic intervention after strokes or other ischemic events.
