Abstract (original English)

Phototherapy has been extensively used to prevent and treat signs of aging and stimulate wound healing, and phototherapy through light-emitting diodes (LEDs). In contrast to LED, organic LED (OLED) devices are composed of organic semiconductors that possess novel characteristics. We investigated the regenerative potential of OLED for restoring cellular potential from senescence and thus delaying animal aging. Bone marrow-derived stem cells (BMSCs) and adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) were isolated from the control and OLED- treated groups to evaluate their proliferation, migration, and differentiation potentials. Cellular senescence was evaluated using a senescence-associated β-galactosidase (SA-β-gal) activity assay and gene expression biomarker assessment. OLED treatment significantly increased the cell proliferation, colony formation, and migration abilities of stem cells. SA-β-gal activity was significantly decreased in both ADSCs and BMSCs in the OLED-treated group. Gene expression biomarkers from treated mice indicated a significant upregulation of IGF-1 (insulin growthfactor-1). The upregulation of the SIRT1 gene inhibited the p16 and p19 genes then to downregulate the p53 expressions for regeneration of stem cells in the OLED-treated group. Our findings indicated that the survival rates of 10-month aging senescence-accelerated mouse prone 8 mice were prolonged and tha
