Significance Despite being discovered a long time ago, the functional properties of VEGF-B remain poorly understood. However, several clinical treatments use drugs that target and other VEGF family members. It is therefore crucial to gain deeper insights into function underlying mechanisms. Here, we found has potent antioxidative functions, making it member show such property. We further identified critical downstream effector VEGF-B, Gpx1, through which protects against retinal...
Significance Caveolin-1 (Cav-1) is a major structural protein of caveolae found in cell membranes and critical for numerous cellular functions. However, it remains unclear whether Cav-1 plays role ocular neovascularization, cause blindness. In this study, we that the gene deletion exacerbates cavtratin, permeable peptide mimicking function, inhibits neovascularization by targeting multiple components angiogenesis. Importantly, combined administration cavtratin anti–VEGF-A more effectively,...
Abstract Currently, titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO 2 NP s) have been widely used in various applications including cosmetics, food additives and biomedicine. However, there are few reports available using TiO s to treat ocular diseases. Posterior capsular opacification ( PCO ) is the most frequent complication after cataract surgery, which induced by proliferation migration of lens epithelial cells. Thus, inhibiting cells will efficiently reduce occurrence . In this study, we...
Whereas retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells are known to secrete VEGF-A and VEGFR2, the functions of autocrine VEGF signaling remain unclear. Meanwhile, anti-VEGF therapies have been applied routinely treat ocular vascular diseases.The aim this study was determine in RPE evaluate consequences its interruption.The genes involved Hippo signal pathways were knocked down with siRNAs both ARPE-19 cell line human primary via transient transfection whereas overexpression VEGFR2 mediated...
Anti-VEGF-A therapy has proven to be effective for many neovascular diseases. However, drug resistance anti-VEGF-A treatment can develop. Also, not all patients with diseases are responsive treatment. The mechanisms underlying these important issues remain unclear. In this study, using different model systems, we found that inhibition of VEGF-A directly upregulated PDGF-CC and its receptors in multiple cell types pathological angiogenesis vitro vivo. Importantly, further revealed...
Junctional adhesion molecule-C (JAM-C) has been shown to play critical roles during development and in immune responses. However, its role adult eyes under oxidative stress remains poorly understood. Here, we report that JAM-C is abundantly expressed mouse retinae choroids vivo cultured retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) photoreceptor cells vitro. Importantly, both expression membrane localisation are downregulated by H2O2-induced stress. Under stress, critically required for the survival of...
