Phototoxicity of low doses of light and influence of the spectral composition on human RPE cells

Résumé

Light is known to induce retinal damage affecting photoreceptors and retinal pigment epithelium. For polychromatic light, the blue part of the spectrum is thought to be the only responsible for photochemical damage, leading to the establishment of a phototoxicity threshold for blue light (445 nm). For humans it corresponds to a retinal dose of 22 J/cm2. Recent studies on rodents and non-human primates suggested that this value is overestimated. In this study, we aim at investigating the relevance of the current phototoxicity threshold and at providing new hints on the role of the different components of the white light spectrum on phototoxicity. We use an in vitro model of human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSC)-derived retinal pigment epithelial (iRPE) cells and exposed them to white, blue and red lights from LED devices at doses below 22 J/cm2. We show that exposure to white light at a dose of 3.6 J/cm2 induces an alteration of the global cellular structure, DNA damage and an activation of cellular stress pathways. The exposure to blue light triggers DNA damage and the activation of autophagy, while exposure to red light modulates the inflammatory response and inhibits autophagy.
