The objective of this study was to investigate whether low level laser therapy (LLLT) could reduce bronchial hyper-responsiveness (BHR) induced by tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) modulating the metabolism of inositol phosphate (IP) in bronchial smooth muscle cells (BSMCs). The study was on 28 Wistar rats, randomly divided into four groups. Irradiation (1.3 J/cm(2)) was administered 5 min and 4 h after bronchial smooth muscle (BSM) had been suspended in TNF-alpha baths, and the contractile response-induced calcium ion (Ca2+) sensitization was measured. The BSMCs were isolated, and the IP accumulation was measured before and after TNF-alpha immersion in the groups that had been irradiated or not irradiated. BSM segments significantly increased contraction 24 h after TNF-alpha immersion when exposed to carbachol (CCh) as Ca2+, but it was significantly reduced by 64% and 30%, respectively, after laser treatment. The increase in IP accumulation induced by CCh after TNF-alpha immersion was reduced in the BSMCs by LLLT. The dose of 2.6 J/cm(2) reduced BHR and IP accumulation in the rats' inflammatory BSMCs.
