Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of optical lighting, and particularly relates to an LED light source for protecting human eye retinal cells and its application. Background Art

[0002] Modern lifestyle enables humans to spend a large amount of time living under artificial light sources every day. With the development of technology, LED light sources are currently the most dominant type of artificial lighting in the lighting market. It has advantages such as energy conservation, environmental protection, economy and durability. From indoor lighting fixtures to the panels of electronic devices, LEDs have become an indispensable part of life.

[0003] LED light sources have a spectral composition that is completely different from natural light. Currently, LED light sources for indoor lighting generally use blue LED chips plus yellow phosphors to form white light. Although this method is simple and has a low cost, the obtained white light LED light sources generally have a high color temperature, a low color rendering index, and a large blue light component, which causes great harm to the cells of the human eye retinal pigment epithelium layer. There are also some LED light sources that use blue LED chips plus phosphors with green, yellow, and red light emissions to form white light in order to achieve a higher color rendering index or a lower color temperature. Although these light sources can all emit white light distinguishable by the human eye, the actual spectral compositions are significantly different. Although the differences in these spectra cannot be distinguished by the human eye, different light source spectra have obvious different effects on the human eye retinal pigment epithelial cells.

[0004] In recent years, many literatures have pointed out that long-term exposure to LEDs can cause permanent damage to the retina. The retinal pigment epithelium is a basic component of the retina and plays a crucial role in visual function.

After the cells adhered overnight, the medium was replaced with high - glucose DMEM medium containing 10% FBS, and the cells in each group were exposed to light in the dark or of different spectra for culture. After 72 hours of culture, the cell proliferation was detected using a CCK - 8 kit: the original medium was aspirated, 100 μL of new serum - free medium and 10 μL of CCK - 8 reagent were added to each well, the culture plate was incubated in a cell culture incubator for 1 hour, and then the absorbance value at 450 nm was measured with an enzyme - linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) reader. Each group had 5 replicate wells, and the well with medium and CCK - 8 reagent but no cells was used as the blank well. The OD value of each group was zeroed with reference to the blank well.

[0077] Ki67 proliferation marker immunofluorescence staining:

[0078] The ARPE - 19 cell suspension was counted, and 2×10 3 cells per well were inoculated into a 96 - well culture plate and cultured with high - glucose DMEM medium containing 10% FBS. After the cells adhered overnight, the medium was replaced with high - glucose DMEM medium containing 10% FBS, and the cells in each group were exposed to light in the dark or of different spectra for culture. After 72 hours, the 96 - well plate was taken out. It was washed 3 times with PBS. 50 μL of 4% paraformaldehyde fixative was added to fix for 15 minutes, then washed 3 times with PBS, 5 minutes each time. 0.3% triton was added for perforation and left standing for 5 minutes. It was washed 3 times with PBS, 5 minutes each time. 2% BSA was added for blocking for 1 hour, and then the primary antibody Ki67 was diluted at 1:200 and incubated overnight at 4 °C in a wet box. The next day, the 96 - well plate was taken out and washed 3 times with PBS, 5 minutes each time. The corresponding fluorescent secondary antibody of the primary antibody species was added to the 96 - well plate and incubated in the dark for 1 hour, then washed 3 times with PBS, 5 minutes each time. DAPI was added and stained for 5 minutes, then washed 2 times with PBS. The 96 - well plate was placed under a fluorescence microscope for observation and photography.

[0079] Experimental results:

[0080] After ARPE-19 cells were irradiated with light sources of different spectra in the dark for 72 h, the cell viability in the dark group was the highest; there was no statistical significance in the viability between the LED1 group and the incandescent lamp group, and it was slightly lower than that in the dark group; the viability in the LED2 group was the lowest. As Figure 6 shown.

[0081] After ARPE-19 cells were irradiated with light sources of different spectra in the dark for 72 h, the cell proliferation ability in the dark group was the strongest; the cell proliferation abilities of the LED1 group and the incandescent lamp group were similar and slightly lower than that in the dark group; the proliferation ability in the LED2 group was the weakest. As Figure 7 shown.

[0082] The above results confirm that the protective effect of LED1 on retinal pigment epithelial cells is similar to that of incandescent lamps. However, LEDs have advantages such as energy conservation and environmental protection, are more economical and durable than incandescent lamps, and are more conducive to market promotion.
