| Abstract: |
Cutaneous mycoses are common infections whose treatment has become more complex due to increasing antifungal resistance and the need for prolonged therapies, hindering patient adherence and increasing the incidence of adverse effects. Consequently, the use of physical therapies, especially photodynamic therapy (PDT), has increased for the treatment of onychomycosis due to its antimicrobial capacity being mediated by the production of reactive oxygen species. This study investigates the in vitro effect of applying blue light (448 nm) or red light (645 nm), alone or together with terbinafine, on the viability of human keratinocytes and the production of reactive oxygen species. The combination of terbinafine and blue light significantly increases ROS production and caspase-3 expression, while red light together with terbinafine increases catalase, superoxide dismutase (SOD) and PPARγ expression, which reduces the amount of ROS in the cultures. The effect of both treatments could be useful in clinical practice to improve the response of cutaneous mycoses to pharmacological treatment, reduce their toxicity and shorten their duration.
