It is a normal consequence of tissue injury and chronic inflammation, characterized by accumulation and activation of excessive numbers of fibroblasts, deposition of extracellular matrix proteins (ECM), such as collagen, and distortion of normal tissue architecture. Photobiomodulation - PBM is a relatively new and effective therapy, low cost, with no side effects and possible use in the treatment of lung diseases. In this sense, the objective was to evaluate the inflammation and the level of TGF-b in the lung after PBM in an experimental model of fibrosis. We studied some parameters in C57BL/6 with fibrosis submitted to diode laser therapy (808nm, 30mW, 180s) for 15 days. The protocol used for the induction of fibrosis consisted of the application of bleomycin sulphate (1.5U/kg - orotracheal - 1x/day 0).

This entity is emerging worldwide and a significant group of cases has been detected in the province of Cadiz (Spain) in recent years. Biomarkers in the blood of silicotic patients are needed as tools for diagnosis, prognosis of the disease and response to treatment. Objective: To evaluate the plasma levels of some biomarkers (MP-1, MMP-2, MMP-7, MMP-9 and MMP-10, TGFβ, IL-1β, TNFα, IL-18 and MIP-1α), in healthy subjects compared with patients with simple (SS) or complicated (CS) silicosis, in order to use them as biomarkers of the disease. Methods: Fifty-seven patients diagnosed with silicosis by AQA and 18 healthy controls were studied. The blood biomarkers were quantified by single or multiplex ELISA. Results: MMP-2 and MMP-7 were increased in patients with silicosis compared to healthy volunteers, but only MMP-7 (not MMP-2) was found significantly augmented when silicotic patients were split in SS and CS according to the ILO classification. No differences were found for MMP-1, MMP-9, MMP-10, IL-18 and TGFβ. However, IL-1β and TNFα were significantly increased in CS group compared to healthy patients, but not compared to SS group. MIP-1α, showed an increasing gradient when healthy, SS and CS groups were compared. Conclusions: Combining the results of some of the biomarkers studied may be useful in the diagnosis of silicosis.
