Photobiomodulation Protects and Promotes Differentiation of C2C12 Myoblast Cells Exposed to Snake Venom

Abstract: BackgroundSnakebites is a neglected disease and in Brazil is considered a serious health problem, with the majority of the snakebites caused by the genus Bothrops. Antivenom therapy and other first-aid treatments do not reverse local myonecrose which is the main sequel caused by the envenomation. Several studies have shown the effectiveness of low level laser (LLL) therapy in reducing local myonecrosis induced by Bothropic venoms, however the mechanism involved in this effect is unknown. In this in vitro study… Show more

“…Our data provide similar findings, with a wavelength of 400 nm inducing significant increases in ROS production from myoblasts . Some authors have also reported the effects of PBM in inducing myogenic differentiation from myoblasts to myotubes . Hence, future work may involve evaluation of the effects of parameters illustrated in this study on markers for myogenic differentiation.…”

“…In this context, satellite cells and their response to oxidative stress are important to mature skeletal muscle performance. In addition, photobiomodulation with low-level laser caused a protective effect on myoblasts [ 22 ].…”

“…This effect was more pronounced when cells were subjected to nutritional deficit for a longer period (24 h) prior to irradiation (protocol B), as irradiation in medium with 1% FBS decreased LDH release compared with 10% FBS, for all three energy densities tested. Similarly, Silva et al [32] observed that both red (685 nm) and infrared (830 nm) lasers inhibited of LDH released by myoblasts (C2C12) exposed to snake venom, suggesting that laser treatment protects C2C12 cells against the cytotoxic effects of snake venom.…”
