چکیده

208 words Inflammatory neovascularization, such as choroidal neovascularization (CNV), occur in the presence of Notch expressing macrophages and endothelial cells (EC). The influence of DLL4 induced Notch signaling on macrophages and its overall effect in inflammatory neovascularization is not well understood. We identified macrophages and ECs as the main Notch1 and Notch 4 expressing cells in CNV. A soluble fraction spanning Ser28-Pro525 of the murine extracellular DLL4 domain (sDLL4/28-525) activated the Notch pathway, as it induces Notch target genes in macrophages and ECs and inhibited EC proliferation and vascular sprouting in aortic rings. In contrast, sDLL4/28-525 increased pro-angiogenic VEGF, IL1- expression in macrophages responsible for increased vascular sprouting observed in aortic rings incubated in supernatants from sDLL4/28-525 stimulated macrophages. In vivo, Dll4 +/-mice developed significantly more CNV and sDLL4/28-525 injections inhibited CNV in Dll4 +/-CD1. Conversly, sDLL4/28-525 inhibited CNV in C57Bl6 and its effect was reversed by a -secretase inhibitor that blocks Notch signalling. The inhibition occurred despite increased VEGF, IL1- expression in infiltrating inflammatory macrophages in sDLL4/28-525 treated mice and might be due to direct inhibition of EC proliferation in laser-induced CNV as demonstrated by EdU labelling in vivo. In conclusion, Notch activation on macrophages and ECs leads to opposing effects in inflammatory neovascularization in situations such as CNV.

Influence of Dll4 via HIF-1α-VEGF Signaling on the Angiogenesis of Choroidal Neovascularization under Hypoxic Conditions

Choroidal neovascularization (CNV) is the common pathological basis of irreversible visual impairment encountered in a variety of chorioretinal diseases; the pathogenesis of its development is complicated and still imperfectly understood. Recent studies indicated that delta-like ligand 4 (Dll4), one of the Notch family ligands might participate in the HIF-1α-VEGF pathway to regulate CNV angioge...

Transpupilary thermotherapy of occult subfoveal choroidal neovascularization secondary to age related macular degeneration

 Abstract Background: Transpupillary thermotherapy is a new treatment for subfoveal choroidal neovascularization which needs further evaluation. This study was aimed to evaluate the efficacy of transpupillary thermotherapy on regression of occult subfoveal choroidal neovascularization with or without pigment epithelial detachment in patients with age-related macular degeneration. Methods: In a ...

Ginsenoside-Rb1 Inhibition of VEGF Release – Structure and Activity Relations (SAR) Perspective

Betts et al (2011) reported that Rb1 inhibits vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) release by retinal pigment epithelial cells, which is a major source of VEGF in the eye (1). Vascular endothelial growth factor is a proangiogenic cytokine that contributes significantly to pathological retinal and choroidal neovascularization in association with diabetic retinopathy and age-related macular ...

CD200R signaling inhibits pro-angiogenic gene expression by macrophages and suppresses choroidal neovascularization

Macrophages are rapidly conditioned by cognate and soluble signals to acquire phenotypes that deliver specific functions during inflammation, wound healing and angiogenesis. Whether inhibitory CD200R signaling regulates pro-angiogenic macrophage phenotypes with the potential to suppress ocular neovascularization is unknown. CD200R-deficient bone marrow derived macrophages (BMMΦ) were used to de...
