Photostimulation has been widely used in neuromodulation. However, existing optogenetics techniques require genetic alternation of the targeted cell or tissue. Here, we report that neural stem cells (NSCs) constitutionally express blue/red light-sensitive photoreceptors. The proliferation and regulation of NSCs to neuronal or glial cells are wavelength-specific. Our results showed a 4.3-fold increase in proliferation and 2.7-fold increase in astrocyte differentiation for cells under low-power blue monochromatic light exposure (455 nm, 300 μW/cm2). The melanopsin (Opn4)/transient receptor potential channel 6 (TRPC6) non-visual opsin serves as a key photoreceptor response to blue light irradiation. Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis coupled with mass spectrometry further highlighted the Jun activation domain-binding protein 1 (Jab1) as a novel and specific modulator in phototransduction pathways induced by blue light exposure. Quiescent adult NSCs reside in specific regions of the mammalian brain. Therefore, we showed that melanopsin/TRPC6 expressed in these regions and blue light stimulation through optical fibers could directly stimulate the NSCsin vivo. Upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) converted deep-penetrating near-infrared (NIR) light into specific wavelengths of visible light. Accordingly, we demonstrated that UCNP-mediated NIR light could be used to modulatein vivoNSC differentiation in a less invasive manner. In the future, this light-triggered system of NSCs will enable nongenetic and noninvasive neuromodulation with therapeutic potential for central nervous system diseases.
