Glycoconjugates of Choroidal Neovascular Membranes in Age-related Macular Degeneration

Choroidal neovascularization (CNV) is a complication of multiple eye diseases, including age-related macular degeneration, that usually results in irreversible vision loss. It is characterized by proliferation and growth of choroidal blood vessels through Bruch's membrane into the subpigment epithelial and/or subretinal space. The purpose of this study was to characterize the carbohydrate groups associated with CNV by lectin histochemistry.

Macular and Peripheral Distribution of ICAM-1 in the Human Choriocapillaris and Retina

In order to understand the extent of choriocapillary endothelial cell activation in different topographic regions of the eye, we sought to compare the localization of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) in macular and peripheral regions of human eyes.

Comparison of the Femtosecond Laser (IntraLase) Versus Manual Microkeratome (Moria ALTK) in Dissection of the Donor in Endothelial Keratoplasty: Initial Study in Eye Bank Eyes

To determine the safety and efficacy of a femtosecond laser (IntraLase) and manual microkeratome (Moria ALTK) in creating precut endothelial keratoplasty donor tissue.

Elastin-mediated Choroidal Endothelial Cell Migration: Possible Role in Age-related Macular Degeneration

Endothelial cell (EC) migration is a key event in angiogenesis, and is likely to play an important role in choroidal neovascularization in age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Altered elastin metabolism has been described in AMD, and the present study sought to determine the effects of elastin-derived peptides (EDPs) on choroidal EC migration and proliferation.

Complement Component C5a Activates ICAM-1 Expression on Human Choroidal Endothelial Cells

The complement system plays a crucial role in the progression of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). In this study, the authors sought to evaluate the pathophysiologic roles of complement components C3a and C5a in the human choroid in AMD.

Angiogenin in Age-related Macular Degeneration

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a common blinding disease in the elderly population. AMD is frequently complicated by choroidal neovascularization, causing irreversible losses in visual acuity. Proteins that induce pathologic angiogenesis in other systems include angiogenin, a small protein involved in angiogenesis in tumor metastases. Our goal was to determine if angiogenin participates in angiogenesis during choroidal neovascular membrane formation in AMD.

Choriocapillaris Vascular Dropout Related to Density of Drusen in Human Eyes with Early Age-related Macular Degeneration

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a common, potentially blinding disease characterized by the presence of extracellular deposits beneath the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). Choroidal vascular changes have also been noted in AMD. This study examined the relationship between the choroidal vasculature and extent of drusen and other sub-RPE deposits, the key pathologic landmarks of AMD.

Evaluation of Variants in the Selectin Genes in Age-related Macular Degeneration

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a common disease of the elderly that leads to loss of the central visual field due to atrophic or neovascular events. Evidence from human eyes and animal models suggests an important role for macrophages and endothelial cell activation in the pathogenesis of AMD. We sought to determine whether common ancestral variants in genes encoding the selectin family of proteins are associated with AMD.

Molecular Responses of Choroidal Endothelial Cells to Elastin Derived Peptides Through the Elastin-binding Protein (GLB1)

PURPOSE: Neovascular AMD involves the activation of choroidal endothelial cells to increase their inflammatory and angiogenic behaviors. Elastin derived peptides (EDPs) can elicit some of these phenotypic changes in endothelial cells. This investigation was performed to follow up on those findings by determining a receptor for these peptides in the human eye as well as evaluating the effects of elevated EDPs on choroidal cells in vitro and in vivo. METHODS: The expression of elastin receptor genes including GLB1 was analyzed using reverse transcription PCR. Migration of choroidal endothelial cells was quantified in the presence of inhibitors to different EDP binding proteins. C57BL6 mice were injected with EDPs and studied by electroretinography, transmission electron microscopy, and microarray analysis. RESULTS: An alternatively spliced form of beta-galactosidase (GLB1) is present on human choroidal endothelial cells and acts as a receptor for EDPs. Elevated levels of circulating EDPs do not affect retinal function in the mouse, but do increase the expression and deposition of collagen IV in the RPE/choroid complex. CONCLUSIONS: EDPs may play a role in neovascular AMD by binding to and inducing neovascular phenotypes in choroidal endothelial cells through their receptor, GLB1. These peptides also cause an increased mRNA expression and deposition of collagen IV in the RPE/choroid, which may alter diffusion properties between the retina and choriocapillaris.
