Abstract

Purpose

Subthreshold micropulse laser (SMPL) is more clinically efficient for the treatment of diabetic macular edema (DME) than the conventional continuous-wave (CW) laser. We aimed to characterize transcriptome changes after the application of these lasers and to compare the transcripts.

Methods

Human pluripotent stem cell-derived retinal pigment epithelial cells were exposed to laser irradiation. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs), distribution of heat shock protein (Hsp) family, gene expression profile, and gene ontology (GO) enrichment analysis based on RNA sequencing data were investigated at 3 h and 24 h after irradiation.

Results

CW laser induced more DEGs than SMPL (1771 vs. 520 genes). The expression of the Hsp family was confirmed in both groups: however, the induction patterns was different for different genes. GO enrichment analysis revealed that CW laser upregulated the expression of DEGs involved in vasculature development (GO: 0001944), related to apoptosis and repair after cell injury whereas SMPL upregulated the expression of DEGs involved in photoreceptor cell maintenance (GO: 0045494), photoreceptor cell development (GO: 0042461), and sensory perception of light stimuli (GO: 0050953).

Conclusions

The results provide insights into the genetic responses and may contribute to the understanding of the molecular mechanisms of laser-induced thermal effects.
