Short Hairpin RNA-Mediated Knockdown of VEGFA in Müller Cells Reduces Intravitreal Neovascularization in a Rat Model of Retinopathy of Prematurity
22 Aug 2013
Abstract excerpt
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) A is implicated in aberrant angiogenesis and intravitreous neovascularization (IVNV) in retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). However, VEGFA also regulates retinal vascular development and functions as a retinal neural survival factor. By using a relevant ROP model, the 50/10 oxygen-induced retinopathy (OIR) model, we previously found that broad inhibition of VEGFA...
