The Matricellular Protein Cysteine-rich Protein 61 (CCN1/Cyr61) Enhances Physiological Adaptation of Retinal Vessels and Reduces Pathological Neovascularization Associated with Ischemic Retinopathy [PDF]
Retinal vascular damages are the cardinal hallmarks of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), a leading cause of vision impairment and blindness in childhood. Both angiogenesis and vasculogenesis are disrupted in the hyperoxia-induced vaso-obliteration phase, and recapitulated, although aberrantly, in the subsequent ischemia-induced neovessel formation ...

miR‐30a‐5p inhibition promotes interaction of Fas+endothelial cells and FasL+microglia to decrease pathological neovascularization and promote physiological angiogenesis [PDF]
AbstractIschemia‐induced angiogenesis contributes to various neuronal and retinal diseases, and often results in neurodegeneration and visual impairment. Current treatments involve the use of anti‐VEGF agents but are not successful in all cases. In this study we determined that miR‐30a‐5p is another important mediator of retinal angiogenesis.

cGMP-dependent protein kinase I is crucial for angiogenesis and postnatal vasculogenesis [PDF]
Background Endothelium-derived nitric oxide plays an important role for the bone marrow microenvironment. Since several important effects of nitric oxide are mediated by cGMP-dependent pathways, we investigated the role of the cGMP downstream effector ...

Intense Physiological Light Upregulates Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor and Enhances Choroidal Neovascularization via Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor γ Coactivator-1α in Mice [PDF]
Objectives— Toxicity of intense light to facilitate the development of neovascular age-related macular degeneration has been a health concern although the mechanism remains unclear. Methods and Results— Effects of intense, but within physiological range, light on ...

To investigate the anti-inflammatory and anti-angiogenic effects of telmisartan, an angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1-R) antagonist, on ischemia-induced retinal neovascularization.C57BL/6 neonatal mice were reared in an 80% concentration of oxygen from postnatal day (P)7 to P12, followed by room-air breathing until P17, to induce ischemia-initiated ...

MFGE8 does not influence chorio-retinal homeostasis or choroidal neovascularization in vivo [PDF]
Purpose: Milk fat globule-epidermal growth factor-factor VIII (MFGE8) is necessary for diurnal outer segment phagocytosis and promotes VEGF-dependent neovascularization.

A carboxyl-terminal fragment of tryptophan tRNA synthetase (T2-TrpRS) has demonstrated potent angiostatic activity during retinal developmental neovascularization in vivo. The effects of T2-TrpRS on pathologic neovascularization were tested and compared with a potent VEGF antagonist using the mouse model of oxygen-induced retinopathy (OIR).C57BL/6J ...
