Paper Abstract
Prompted by a study of traumatic brain injury (TBI) in a model system of cultured astrocytes, we
discovered that low level laser illumination (LLL) at 660nm elevates the level of intracellular Ca2+. The coherence
of the illumination was not essential since incoherent red light also worked. For cells bathed in low Ca2+ saline so
that influx was suppressed, the Ca2+ level rose with no significant latency following illumination and consistent
with a slow leak of Ca2+ from storage such as from the endoplasmic reticulum and/or mitochondria. When the cells
were bathed in normal Ca2+ saline, the internal Ca2+ rose, but with a latency of about 17 seconds from the beginning
of illumination. Pharmacologic studies with ryanodine inhibited the light effect. Testing the cells with fluid shear
stress as used in the TBI model showed that mechanically induced elevation of cell Ca2+ was unaffected by
illumination.
