Vasoinhibins: novel inhibitors of ocular angiogenesis

Abstract: Disruption of the quiescent state of blood vessels in the retina leads to aberrant vasopermeability and angiogenesis, the major causes of vision loss in diabetic retinopathy. Prolactin is expressed throughout the retina, where it is proteolytically cleaved to vasoinhibins, a family of peptides (including the 16-kDa fragment of prolactin) with potent antiangiogenic, vasoconstrictive, and antivasopermeability actions. Ocular vasoinhibins act directly on endothelial cells to block blood vessel growth and dilation… Show more

“…In addition, PRL-V can inhibit vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-induced endothelial cell proliferation (8) and VEGF-induced vasopermeability in the retinal vessels of diabetic rats (13), both believed to be important factors in the pathogenesis of diabetic retinopathy. These observations led to the hypothesis that PRL-V could be involved in the development and progression of diabetic retinopathy in humans (10,11,14).…”

“…They constitute the amino terminal regions of three different precursors; prolactin, growth hormone and placental lactogen. Though their precursors do not exhibit angioinhibitory activities; vasoinhibins found in the tissues or those expressed using recombinant methods exhibit antiangiogenic properties (Clapp et al, 2008). The therapeutic potential of vasoinhibins in regulating angiogenesis in CNV and tumor growth was evaluated and studies indicate that adenovirus mediated expression of vasoinhibins inhibits CNV, in-vivo and also angiogenesis (Zhou et al, 2010).…”

“…La PRL d'origine circulante et endogène, l'enzyme qui clive la PRL et la PRL 16K sont présentes dans les fluides oculaires chez l'homme et dans la rétine chez le rat. L'inactivation expérimentale (in vitro) de la production de PRL endogène et de la formation de ses formes clivées (vaso-inhibines) provoque une croissance aberrante des vaisseaux sanguins de la rétine [37]. Puisque les vaso-inhibines agissent in vitro et in vivo en bloquant l'activité de plusieurs facteurs de prolifération des cellules endothéliales, il a été suggéré qu'elles pourraient avoir perdu leur pouvoir protecteur dans des conditions pathologiques.…”

“…Cette dernière exerce un effet anti-angiogénique sur le réseau coronarien à l'origine de déficiences cardiaques au moment où le muscle cardiaque doit répondre à un accroissement de la demande. Il faut noter que dans les cas de cardiomyopathies post-partum et de pré-éclampsies, la PRL 16K a été détectée dans le sang ainsi que dans les fluides amniotiques et l'urine des patientes [37], alors que sa présence a été rarement mentionnée dans les sérums et les fluides physiologiques d'individus normaux [39].…”
