abstract = "Protein kinase C delta (PKCδ) mediates apoptosis downstream of many apoptotic stimuli. However, whether PKCδ is involved in high fluence low-power laser irradiation (HF-LPLI)-induced cell apoptosis is still not understood. In this study, we investigated the activity of PKCδ in response to HF-LPLI treatment in human breast adenocarcinoma cells (MCF-7). Cells were transiently transfected pGFP-PKCδ and irradiated with a He-Ne laser for 10 minutes under a fluence of 120 J/cm2 after 36 hours expression. Nuclear staining with Hoechst 33258 and analysis of flow cytometry based on Annexin V-FITC/PI revealed that overexpression of PKCδ promoted the apoptotic effect of HF-LPLI. Taken together, we demonstrated that PKCδ promoted cell apoptosis caused by HF-LPLI, providing a new insight of mechanisms of HF-LPLI.",
