Inhibition of pathologic retinal neovascularization by  -defensins

Blood, 2005
Proliferative retinopathies, such as those complicating prematurity and diabetes, are major causes of blindness. A prominent feature of these retinopathies is excessive neovascularization, which is orchestrated by the hypoxia-induced vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) stimulating endothelial cells and the integrin-mediated adhesive interactions ...

Lack of netrin-4 modulates pathologic neovascularization in the eye [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2016
AbstractNetrins are a family of matrix-binding proteins that function as guidance signals. Netrin-4 displays pathologic roles in tumorigenesis and neovascularization. To answer the question whether netrin-4 acts either pro- or anti-angiogenic, angiogenesis in the retina was assessed in Ntn-4−/− mice with oxygen-induced retinopathy (OIR) and laser ...
