The cell viability and apoptosis of tumor U937 cells treated by blue light (BL) irradiation have been examined. BL irradiation can specially inhibit the proliferation and promote the apoptosis of U937 cells, relating to the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the decline of mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm). The apoptosis is further associated with varying downregulated <i>B-cell lymphoma-extra large</i> (<i>Bcl-X<sub>L</sub></i>) and <i>B-cell lymphoma 2</i> (<i>Bcl-2</i>) gene ...[more]
