Lack of netrin-4 modulates pathologic neovascularization in the eye [PDF]
Netrins are a family of matrix-binding proteins that function as guidance signals. Netrin-4 displays pathologic roles in tumorigenesis and neovascularization.

Intussusceptive Vascular Remodeling Precedes Pathological Neovascularization [PDF]
Objective— Pathological neovascularization is crucial for progression and morbidity of serious diseases such as cancer, diabetic retinopathy, and age-related macular degeneration. While mechanisms of ongoing pathological neovascularization have been extensively studied, the initiating pathological vascular remodeling (PVR ...

A Small-Molecule Pan-Id Antagonist Inhibits Pathologic Ocular Neovascularization [PDF]
Summary: Id helix-loop-helix (HLH) proteins (Id1–4) bind E protein bHLH transcription factors, preventing them from forming active transcription complexes that drive changes in cell states.

RhoA/ROCK Signaling Is Involved in Pathological Retinal Neovascularization
Objective: The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of the RhoA/ROCK inhibitor Fasudil on retinal neovascularization (NV) in vivo and angiogenesis in vitro. Methods: C57BL/6 was used to establish an OIR model. First, RhoA/ROCK expression was first examined and compared between OIR and healthy controls. Then, we evaluated the effect of Fasudil on

Angiofluorographic Characteristics of Choroidal Neovascularization associated with Pathologic Myopia
Purpose: To evaluate the incidence of choroidal neovascularization (CNV) in high myopic patients who experienced recent visual loss and to describe the characteristics of CNV that develop as a complication of pathologic myopia and were detected by fluorescein angiography (FA).

Choroidal Changes and Choroidal Neovascularization in Pathological Myopia [PDF]
Among the complications of pathological myopia, myopic macular neovascularization (mMNV) is one of the most vision-threatening complications. Despite significant advances in understanding the epidemiology, pathogenesis, and natural history of the disease, there is no standard definition of mMNV.

Interleukin-18 regulates pathological intraocular neovascularization [PDF]
AbstractRecently, the proinflammatory cytokine IL-18 has been shown to have a role in angiogenesis. This study aimed to elucidate its role in abnormal neovascularization (NV) in an oxygen-induced retinopathy (OIR) mouse model of the retinopathy seen in human premature newborns.

ADAM9 Is Involved in Pathological Retinal Neovascularization [PDF]
Pathological ocular neovascularization, caused by diabetic retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration, or retinopathy of prematurity, is a leading cause of blindness, yet much remains to be learned about its underlying causes. Here we used oxygen-induced retinopathy (OIR) and laser-induced choroidal neovascularization (CNV) to assess the ...

Lipid Mediators, M2 Macrophages, and Pathological Neovascularization [PDF]
Sasaki and colleagues [1] (JCI Insight 2018;3,e96902) identified the leukocyte inflammatory lipid mediator leukotriene B4 (LTB4)/LTB4 receptor 1 receptor-signaling axis in M2 macrophages as a causal pathway for the vascular endothelial growth factor-dependent pathological neovascularization in a mouse model that mimics wet age-related macular ...

Myeloid lineage contributes to pathological choroidal neovascularization formation via SOCS3 [PDF]
Pathological neovascularization in neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) is the leading cause of vision loss in the elderly. Increasing evidence shows that cells of myeloid lineage play important roles in controlling pathological endothelium formation.
