Unbalanced expression of VEGF and PEDF in ischemia‐induced retinal neovascularization
Abstract
Retinal levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF), an angiogenic inhibitor, were measured and correlated with the ischemia-induced retinal neovascularization in rats. The retinas with neovascularization showed a 5-fold increase in VEGF while 2-fold decrease in PEDF, compared to the age-matched controls, resulting in an increased VEGF/PEDF ratio. The time course of the VEGF/PEDF ratio change...
