Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
Blue light (400-500 nm) photobiomodulation (PBM), particularly utilizing light-emitting diodes (LEDs), has garnered extensive attention for its therapeutic efficacy across various conditions, including oncology. Nevertheless, its impact on osteosarcoma cells remain inadequately characterized. This study sought to investigate the tumor-suppressive properties and underlying molecular mechanisms of LED blue light PBM in human osteosarcoma cell lines HOS and MG63. The results indicated that blue light PBM effectively suppressed cell proliferation and triggered G2/M phase cell cycle arrest. Moreover, blue light PBM activated apoptosis and ferroptosis, characterized by significant changes in ferroptosis-associated proteins (HO-1, PTGS2, GPX4). Concurrently, ROS accumulation triggered oxidative stress, as demonstrated by increased MDA and LPO levels, well-established markers of ferroptosis. These findings underscore the promising potential of LED blue light PBM as an innovative, non-pharmacological therapeutic strategy for osteosarcoma, warranting further investigation for future clinical applications.
