Inhibition of Choroidal Neovascularization by Adenovirus-Mediated Delivery of Short Hairpin RNAs Targeting VEGF as a Potential Therapy for AMD
28 Jul 2006
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Choroidal neovascularization (CNV) is the leading cause of blindness in age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Several lines of evidence implicate increased levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) from patients with AMD. Current approaches to attenuate VEGF or its receptors, including the use of small interfering (si)RNA, show significant promise, but...
