“…[6][7][8][9][20][21][22] Several studies have further shown that inhibition of VEGF activity by administration of VEGF-specific kinase inhibitors, VEGF antibodies, VEGF receptors and VEGF antisense oligonucleotides successfully suppressed the development of retinal and choroidal NV. [37][38][39][40] In particular, Honda et al 41 showed that expression of adenovirus-mediated sFlt-1 suppressed choroidal NV. However, the adenoviral vector was injected into the rat femoral muscle resulting in systemic circulation of sFlt-1, which dropped to very low levels after 21 days.…”

“…Previous attempts using VEGF antisense oligonucleotides, soluble Flt-1-chimeric proteins and adenovirus-mediated sFlt-1 also failed to completely block retinal or choroidal NV, achieving only a maximum inhibition of 50%. 37,38,40,41 In contrast, administration of kinase inhibitors that blocked phosphorylation by VEGF and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) receptors completely prevented the development of retinal NV, but kinase inhibitors of PDGF receptors alone had no effect. 39 Although this implies that blockade of VEGF activity alone is sufficient for the complete inhibition of NV, a synergy might exist between VEGF and PDGF, or other angiogenic factors, which all need to be blocked concurrently for complete inhibition.…”

“…Diversos estudos estabeleceram claramente que o bloqueio do VEGF pode inibir a neovascularização da íris (17) , coróide (19) , córnea (35) e retina (18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31)(32)(33)(34)(35)(36) . Uma pesquisa experimental com primatas demonstrou que a injeção intravítrea de um anticorpo monoclonal antiVEGF previne a formação de neovasos de íris em um modelo de isquemia retiniana, após oclusão venosa induzida com laser (17) .…”

“…Sua secreção é polarizada nas células do EPR: em condições normais, a secreção da porção basal é 2 a 7 vezes maior que a da porção apical, e sob hipóxia essa razão é muito maior (16) . A expressão de receptores de VEGF também é maior no endotélio da coriocapilar que está voltado para o EPR (21) , demonstrando indiretamente a importância do VEGF na manutenção da integridade da coriocapilar.…”
