Consequences of Verteporfin Photodynamic Therapy on Choroidal Neovascular Membranes

Abstract: To examine the impact of photodynamic therapy (PDT) on angiogenesis in human choroidal neovascular membranes with respect to vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression, proliferation, and vascularization. Methods: Retrospective review of an interventional case series of 50 patients (50 eyes) who underwent removal of choroidal neovascular membranes. Choroidal neovascularization was secondary to age-related macular degeneration. Twenty patients were treated with PDT 3 to 655 days before surgery. Choroi… Show more

“…Фактор роста эндотелия сосудов, секретирую-щийся клетками ретинального пигментного эпи-телия, -один из важнейших регуляторов патоло-гического ангиогенеза при ВМД, особенно при влажной форме [33]. Высказываются предполо-жения о возможности влияния полиморфизма гена VEGF на развитие и течение заболевания, но данные многочисленных исследований в различ-ных популяциях не однородны.…”

“…[30][31][32] In .90% of the cases, however, a recurrence is seen within 3 months. [2][3][4][5][6] Enhanced VEGF expression 17 and predominance over pigment epithelium-derived factor 19 might contribute to this rebound effect. Herein, we investigated the potential involvement of Eselectin and endostatin in this process.…”

“…[26][27][28][29] Immunohistochemical analysis for VEGF and endostatin was performed by the alkaline-phosphatase method as described previously, 17 using an anti-human VEGF-A antibody (mouse, Mab, clone C-1; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, California) and an anti-human endostatin antibody (rabbit, polyclonal, Dianova GmbH, Hamburg). Haematoxylin (Chemmate, Code S2020, Dako) was used for counterstaining.…”
