The COX-2-Selective Antagonist (NS-398) Inhibits Choroidal Neovascularization and Subretinal Fibrosis
Choroidal neovascularization (CNV) is an important pathologic component of neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD), and CNV lesions later develop into fibrous scars, which contribute to the loss of central vision. Nowadays, the precise molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying CNV and subretinal fibrosis have yet to be fully elucidated. Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) has previously been...
متن کاملA Novel Platelet-Activating Factor Receptor Antagonist Inhibits Choroidal Neovascularization and Subretinal Fibrosis
Choroidal neovascularization (CNV) is a critical pathogenesis in age-related macular degeneration (AMD), the most common cause of blindness in developed countries. To date, the precise molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying CNV have not been elucidated. Platelet-activating factor (PAF) has been previously implicated in angiogenesis; however, the roles of PAF and its receptor (PAF-R) in CN...
متن کاملSubretinal choroidal neovascularization associated with choroidal nevus.
PURPOSE Evaluation of a large series of choroidal nevi inducing the formation of a neovascular membrane in order to more clearly define the clinical presentation and to evaluate the efficacy of various treatment options. METHOD Retrospective study of 22 clinical cases. RESULTS All nevi were situated in the posterior choroid. They had a mean diameter of 3.8 mm and a mean thickness of 1.4 mm....
متن کاملEndogenous endostatin inhibits choroidal neovascularization.
Endostatin, a fragment of the basement membrane component collagen XVIII, exhibits antiangiogenic properties in vitro and in vivo when high doses are administered. It is not known whether endogenous endostatin at physiological levels has a protective role as an inhibitor of pathological angiogenesis, such as choroidal neovascularization (CNV) in age-related macular degeneration. Using a laser i...
متن کاملMacrophage depletion inhibits experimental choroidal neovascularization.
OBJECTIVE To investigate the role of macrophages in the development of laser-induced choroidal neovascularization (CNV) by selective depletion with liposomal clodronate (Cl(2)MDP-LIP). METHODS Laser photocoagulation was used to induce CNV in wild-type C57BL/6J mice. Animals were treated with intravenous (IV) and/or subconjunctival (SC) Cl(2)MDP-LIP or PBS-LIP at the following time points: 2 d...
