Abstract
Purpose: Ranibizumab is a frequently used inhibitor of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in the treatment of macular edema following central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO). Studying proteins that mediate the beneficial effects of ranibizumab in CRVO can potentially lead to the improved management of macular edema.
Methods: In 14 Danish Landrace pigs, experimental CRVO was induced in the right eyes and treated with either intravitreal ranibizumab (n = 6) or an intravitreal sodium chloride 9 mg/mL solution as a sham injection (n = 8). Successful CRVO was confirmed by fluorescein angiography. Retinal samples were collected 15 days after induced CRVO and analyzed with label-free, quantification, nano-liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Validation was performed with western blotting and immunohistochemistry.
Results: CRVO was successfully induced and confirmed by fluorescein angiography. A total of 28 proteins were upregulated, and 31 proteins were downregulated following ranibizumab treatment. A high concentration of the ranibizumab component immunoglobulin kappa chain C region was observed in retinas treated with ranibizumab. Complement C3, the Ig lambda chain C region, and nucleobindin-2 were downregulated following ranibizumab intervention. The downregulation of complement C3 was confirmed by western blotting. Modest changes were observed in the remaining significantly regulated proteins.
Conclusions: Retinal complement C3 was downregulated following ranibizumab intervention in CRVO. The decrease in complement C3 may potentially downregulate the inflammatory response in CRVO. A high retinal concentration of ranibizumab was reached 15 days after injection of the compound.
期刊介绍：
Molecular Vision is a peer-reviewed journal dedicated to the dissemination of research results in molecular biology, cell biology, and the genetics of the visual system (ocular and cortical).
Molecular Vision publishes articles presenting original research that has not previously been published and comprehensive articles reviewing the current status of a particular field or topic. Submissions to Molecular Vision are subjected to rigorous peer review. Molecular Vision does NOT publish preprints.
For authors, Molecular Vision provides a rapid means of communicating important results. Access to Molecular Vision is free and unrestricted, allowing the widest possible audience for your article. Digital publishing allows you to use color images freely (and without fees). Additionally, you may publish animations, sounds, or other supplementary information that clarifies or supports your article. Each of the authors of an article may also list an electronic mail address (which will be updated upon request) to give interested readers easy access to authors.
