Microvascular degeneration is an important event in oxygen-induced retinopathy (OIR), a model of retinopathy of prematurity. Because oxidant stress abundantly generates thromboxane A2(TxA2), we tested whether TxA2plays a role in retinal vasoobliteration of OIR and contributes to such vascular degeneration by direct endothelial cytotoxicity. Hyperoxia-induced retinal vasoobliteration in rat pups (80% O2exposure from postnatal days 5–14) was associated with increased TxB2generation and was significantly prevented by TxA2synthase inhibitor CGS-12970 (10 mg · kg−1· day−1) or TxA2-receptor antagonist CGS-22652 (10 mg · kg−1· day−1). TxA2mimetics U-46619 (EC5050 nM) and I-BOP (EC505 nM) caused a time- and concentration-dependent cell death of neuroretinovascular endothelial cells from rats as well as newborn pigs but not of smooth muscle and astroglial cells; other prostanoids did not cause cell death. The peroxidation product 8-iso-PGF2, which is generated in OIR, stimulated TxA2formation by endothelial cells and triggered cell death; these effects were markedly diminished by CGS-12970. TxA2-dependent neuroretinovascular endothelial cell death was mostly by necrosis and to a lesser extent by apoptosis. The data identify an important role for TxA2in vasoobliteration of OIR and unveil a so far unknown function for TxA2in directly triggering neuroretinal microvascular endothelial cell death. These effects of TxA2might participate in other ischemic neurovascular injuries.

Proliferative diabetic retinopathy is characterized by pathological retinal neovascularization, mediated by both angiogenesis (involving mature endothelial cells) and vasculogenesis (involving bone marrow-derived circulating endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs)). Pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF) contains an N-terminal 34-amino acid peptide (PEDF-34) that has antiangiogenic properties. Herein, we present a novel finding that PEDF-34 also possesses antivasculogenic activity. In the oxygen-induced retinopathy (OIR) model using transgenic mice that have Tie2 promoter-driven GFP expression, we quantified Tie2GFP+cells in bone marrow and peripheral blood by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS). OIR significantly increased the number of circulating Tie2-GFP+at P16, correlating with the peak progression of neovascularization. Daily intraperitoneal injections of PEDF-34 into OIR mice decreased the number of Tie2-GFP+cells in the circulation at P16 by 65% but did not affect the number of Tie2-GFP+cells in the bone marrow. These studies suggest that PEDF-34 attenuates EPC mobilization from the bone marrow into the blood circulation during retinal neovascularization.

Prolonged oxygen administration in premature infants is the most predictive variable for severe retinopathy of prematurity, after degree of prematurity itself. It was noted that infants receiving prolonged oxygen supplementation are probably hypoxemic relative to their healthy counterparts. Therefore, hypoxemia during recovery from a hyperoxic-induced retinal vascular injury was tested in the kitten model of oxygen-induced retinopathy. Twelve litters were exposed to 80% inspired O2 for 65 hours on day 3, and recovered in room air, 13% or 17% oxygen. The retinas were scored at 4 weeks, and 13% oxygen recovery (PO2 = 39 ± 18 torr) was found to worsen significantly the retinopathy compared with that in room air-recovered littermates (P < .01). Hemorrhages occurred more frequently in the retinas from the hypoxemic-recovered kittens. Clinical trials of this hypothesis are indicated in humans.
