Vasoinhibin Gene Transfer by Adenoassociated Virus Type 2 Protects against VEGF- and Diabetes-Induced Retinal Vasopermeability
15 Oct 2011
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Specific proteolytic cleavages of the hormone prolactin (PRL) generate vasoinhibins, a family of peptides (including 16-kDa PRL) that are able to inhibit the pathologic increase in retinal vasopermeability (RVP) associated with diabetes. Here the authors tested the ability of an adenoassociated virus type 2 (AAV2) vasoinhibin vector to inhibit vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)- and...
