主 题:choroidal neovascularization complement factor B short hairpin RNA membrane attack complex vascular endothelial growth factor
摘 要:AIM:To evaluate whether recombinant complement factor B(CFB)short hairpin RNA(sh RNA)reduces laserinduced choroidal neovascularization(CNV)in ***:Laser-induced rat CNV model was established,and then the animals underwent fundus fluorescence angiography(FFA)and hematoxylin and eosin(HE)*** day 3 and 7 after photocoagulation,the expression of CFB and membrane attack complex(MAC)was detected by immunhischemistry.A recombinant CFBsh RNA plasmid was *** and scrambled sh RNA plasmids were intravenous injected into rats via the tail vein on the day of laser treatment,*** day 7,the incidence of CNV was determined by FFA,and the expression of CFB and vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)in retinal pigment epithelium(RPE)/choroidal tissues was detected by immunhischemistry,Western blot and/or semi-quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR)in CFB and scrambled sh RNA *** possible adverse effects of CFB-sh RNA injection were assessed by transmission electron microscopy and ***:FFA and HE results indicated that a laserinduced rat CNV model was successfully established on day 7 after *** expression of CFB and MAC was extremely weak in normal retina and choroid,and increased on day 3 after ***,it started to reduce on day *** sh RNA plasmid was successfully constructed and induced CFB knockdown in the retinal and choroidal *** showed CFB knockdown significantly inhibited incidence of CNV in ***,CFB knockdown significantly inhibited the expression of VEGF in RPE/choroidal *** sh RNA caused no obvious side effects in ***:CFB knockdown significantly inhibits the formation and development of CNV in vivo through reducing the expression of VEGF,which is a potential therapy *** alternative pathway of complement activation plays an important role in CNV formation.
