Effects of tetrathiomolybdate in a mouse model of retinal neovascularization.
PURPOSE To determine the effects of tetrathiomolybdate (TM), a copper-chelating agent, on retinal angiogenesis and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in a mouse model of retinal neovascularization. METHODS Postnatal day (P)7 C57BL/6N mice were exposed to 75% +/- 2% oxygen for 5 days (P7-P11) and then returned to room air for 5 days (P12-P17) to induce retinal neovascularization. Beginn...
متن کاملRetinal Inhibition of CCR3 Induces Retinal Cell Death in a Murine Model of Choroidal Neovascularization
Inhibition of chemokine C-C motif receptor 3 (CCR3) signaling has been considered as treatment for neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD). However, CCR3 is expressed in neural retina from aged human donor eyes. Therefore, broad CCR3 inhibition may be harmful to the retina. We assessed the effects of CCR3 inhibition on retina and choroidal endothelial cells (CECs) that develop into c...
متن کاملBreakdown of the blood-retinal barrier in a model of retinal neovascularization.
Breakdown in the blood-retinal barrier occurs in retinal neovascularization in a number of diseases. To study the anatomic basis of this breakdown, we examined retinal neovascularization induced by injection of 250,000 homologous fibroblasts into the vitreous cavity of pigmented rabbits. Neovascularization is evident by electron microscopy in this model 3 days after fibroblast injection. Fluore...
متن کاملSqualamine improves retinal neovascularization.
PURPOSE Modalities for inhibiting neovascularization may be one avenue to the development of effective therapies for retinopathy. The effect of squalamine, an antiangiogenic amino sterol, on oxygen-induced retinopathy (OIR) was assessed in a mouse model. METHODS OIR was induced in C57BL6 mice by a 5-day exposure to 75% oxygen from postnatal day (P)7 through P12. Squalamine (25 mg/kg, subcutan...
متن کاملA continuum mathematical model of the developing murine retinal vasculature.
Angiogenesis, the process of new vessel growth from pre-existing vasculature, is crucial in many biological situations such as wound healing and embryogenesis. Angiogenesis is also a key regulator of pathogenesis in many clinically important disease processes, for instance, solid tumour progression and ocular diseases. Over the past 10-20 years, tumour-induced angiogenesis has received a lot of...
