Реферат: Singlet oxygen (1O2) is a key mediator in photodynamic therapy (PDT), and its generation and reactivity in biological systems have been extensively studied. It has been shown that laser radiation at near-infrared (NIR) regions can be used to directly generate 1O2. In this work, we investigated photosensitizer-free 1O2 generation using an original all-fiber pulsed laser operating at 1066 nm and 1241 nm and evaluated its impact on mitochondrial activity in U-87 MG glioblastoma cells. Singlet oxygen was evaluated using the 1,3-diphenylisobenzofuran (DPBF) chemical probe and confirmed with argon-purging controls, demonstrating clear oxygen- and wavelength-dependent effects. Laser irradiation of glioblastoma cells demonstrated distinct effects depending on the wavelength, although decrease in cellular metabolic activity was observed in both cases. Interestingly, some inhibitory effect was also observed when the culture medium was pre-irradiated at 1241 nm and subsequently added to intact cells. These results demonstrate that laser radiation at both studied wavelengths can elicit measurable biological effects, although the relative efficiency in chemical versus cellular systems varies. Collectively, these findings provide a foundation for further systematic studies of wavelength-specific NIR interactions with cellular and molecular components in biological environments.
