Abstract

This study aimed to compare the effects of photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) with 660 and 980 nm diode lasers on differentiation of periodontal ligament mesenchymal stem cells (PDLMSCs). In this in vitro, experimental study, PDLMSCs were obtained from the Iranian Genetic Bank and cultured in osteogenic medium. They were then subjected to irradiation of 660 and 980 nm diode lasers, and their viability was assessed after one, two, and three irradiation cycles using the methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay. The cells also underwent DAPI staining, cell apoptosis assay by using the Annexin V/PI, Alizarin Red staining, and real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for assessment of the expression of osteogenic genes. Data were analyzed by two-way ANOVA. The two laser groups had no significant difference in cell apoptosis according to the results of DAPI staining. Both laser groups showed higher cell viability in the MTT assay at 4 and 6 days compared with the control group. Annexin V/PI results showed higher cell viability in both laser groups at 4 days compared with the control group. Rate of early and late apoptosis was lower in both laser groups than the control group at 4 days. Necrosis had a lower frequency in 980 nm laser group than the control group on day 6. Alizarin Red staining showed higher cell differentiation in both laser groups after 3 irradiation cycles than the control group. The highest expression of osteopontin (OPN), osteocalcin (OCN), and Runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2) was noted in 660 nm laser group with 3 irradiation cycles at 14 days, compared with the control group. PBMT with 660 and 980 nm diode lasers decreased apoptosis and significantly increased PDLMSC differentiation after 3 irradiation cycles. © The Author(s) 2024.
