Paper Abstract
The deposition and accumulation of amyloid-β-peptide (Aβ) in the brain are considered a pathological hallmark of
Alzheimer's disease(AD). Apoptosis is a contributing pathophysiological mechanism of AD. Low-power laser
irradiation (LPLI), a non-damage physical therapy, which has been used clinically for decades of years, is shown to
promote cell proliferation and prevent apoptosis. Recently, low-power laser irradiation (LPLI) has been applied to
moderate AD. In this study, Rat pheochromocytoma (PC12) cells were treated with amyloid beta 25-35 (Aβ25-35) for
induction of apoptosis before LPLI treatment. We measured cell viability with CCK-8 according to the manufacture's
protocol, the cell viability assays show that low fluence of LPLI (2 J/cm2 ) could inhibit the cells apoptosis. Then using
statistical analysis of proportion of apoptotic cells by flow cytometry based on Annexin V-FITC/PI, the assays also
reveal that low fluence of LPLI (2 J/cm2 ) could inhibit the Aβ-induced cell apoptosis. Taken together, we demonstrated
that low fluence of LPLI (2 J/cm2 ) could inhibit the Aβ-induced cell apoptosis, these results directly point to a
therapeutic strategy for the treatment of AD through LPLI.
