Increased angiogenic factors associated with peripheral avascular retina and intravitreous neovascularization: a model of retinopathy of prematurity.
OBJECTIVES To determine expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), pigment epithelium-derived factor, and their respective receptors in retinas using a model of retinopathy of prematurity. METHODS Retinas isolated from a 50/10 oxygen (inspired oxygen cycled between 50% oxygen and 10% oxygen every 24 hours)-induced rat model of retinopathy of prematurity (50/10 OIR model), and fr...
متن کاملNeovascularization and angiogenic factors in advanced human carotid artery stenosis.
BACKGROUND Most atherosclerotic lesions are vascularized, so neovessels may also contribute to plaque progression and vulnerability, but their precise role of neovessels in atherosclerosis is still unknown. The aim of this study was to analyze the possible relationships among neovascularization, relevant angiogenic factors, and plaque vulnerability in patients with advanced carotid artery steno...
متن کاملCritical roles of muscle-secreted angiogenic factors in therapeutic neovascularization.
The discovery of bone marrow-derived endothelial progenitors in the peripheral blood has promoted intensive studies on the potential of cell therapy for various human diseases. Accumulating evidence has suggested that implantation of bone marrow mononuclear cells effectively promotes neovascularization in ischemic tissues. It has also been reported that the implanted cells are incorporated not ...
متن کاملSpontaneous corneal neovascularization in nude mice. Local imbalance between angiogenic and anti-angiogenic factors.
PURPOSE The present study considered the hypothesis that spontaneous neovascularization of the cornea of nude mice results from a local imbalance between angiogenic and anti-angiogenic factors. METHODS The presence of angiogenic and anti-angiogenic factors was revealed by exchanging orthotopic corneal allografts between nude BALB/c mice and normal (hirsute) euthymic BALB/c mice and observing ...
متن کاملStudies on the pathogenesis of avascular retina and neovascularization into the vitreous in peripheral severe retinopathy of prematurity (an american ophthalmological society thesis).
PURPOSE To study vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) regulation in the development of intravitreous neovascularization and peripheral avascular retina in peripheral severe retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). METHODS The rat 50/10 model of ROP mimics zone II, stage 3 severe ROP and recreates fluctuations in transcutaneous oxygen levels in preterm infants. On postnatal (p) day ages p0, p8, ...
