Abstract
Introduction: Photobiomodulation (PBM) is known as low-level laser (or light) therapy and is applied in different fields of medicine. However, it is required that its molecular and cellular mechanism be investigated. This study aims to assess the neuroprotective properties of PBM in the rat retina.
Methods: GSE22818 was downloaded from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) and the regulation
of the significant differentially expressed genes (DEGs) which are produced by light damage in
the rat retina by the pretreatment of PBM application was assessed via network analysis and gene
ontology enrichment.
Results: The 78 produced DEGs by light-damage in the rat retina were protected via PBM
pretreatment action. Among these determined DEGs, 53 individuals were included in the main
connected component of the constructed protein-protein interaction (PPI) network. Ccl2, Icam1,
Cxcl10, Timp1, and Fos were determined as hub nodes. Eight clusters including 26 regulated
biochemical pathways by PBM pretreatment were identified. The critical DEGs based on the
action maps were introduced.
Conclusion: The finding indicates that PBM treatment protects rat retina against light damage via the prevention of Fos, Ccl2, Icam1, Cxcl10, and Myc dysregulation.
