Corticosteroids inhibit VEGF-induced vascular leakage in a rabbit model of blood–retinal and blood–aqueous barrier breakdown
Abstract
Purpose Recent clinical studies show that a single intravitreal injection of the corticosteroid triamcinolone acetonide (TAA) may reduce edematous retinal swelling and improve visual acuity in patients with diabetic macular edema (DME). In addition, clinical and experimental studies strongly suggest that blood-retinal barrier breakdown in diabetes is induced by vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). These results suggest that corticosteroids may modulate VEGF-mediated responses in vivo. To test this hypothesis directly, the current study evaluated the effects of TAA and dexamethasone (DEX) in a newly developed rabbit model of VEGF-induced blood-retinal barrier and blood-aqueous (iris) barrier breakdown.Methods VEGF165 or vehicle was injected intravitreally in female Dutch Belt rabbits, and scanning ocular fluorophotometry was used to non-invasively measure fluorescein leakage from retinal and iris vasculature. VEGF-induced retinal vasculopathy was further assessed with fundus imaging, fluorescein angiography, and ocular coherence tomography. For pharmacologic studies, rabbits were treated with either DEX (2 mg kg(-1) daily, s.c.), TAA (2 or 4 mg, intravitreal), indomethacin (20 mg kg(-1) daily, s.c.), or vehicle (s.c. or intravitreal). Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) were loaded with the fluorescent Ca2+ indicator dye fluo-4 and treated with dexamethasone (0.1-10 microM) or vehicle for either 2 or 24 hr prior to stimulation with 10 ng ml(-1) VEGF165.Results VEGF injected intravitreally induced a time and dose-dependent breakdown of the blood-retinal and blood-aqueous barriers. Maximal vascular leakage was measured at 48 hr after intravitreal injection with a dose of 500 ng VEGF. Other effects of VEGF included prominent retinal vasodilation, vessel tortuousity, fluorescein leakage from retinal vessels, and inner retinal edema. These VEGF-mediated responses are transient and approach baseline by 1 week. VEGF-induced blood-retinal and blood-aqueous barrier breakdown was completely blocked by the corticosteroid DEX administered systemically for 3 days. In contrast, the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, indomethacin, had no effect. In a separate study with VEGF injected intravitreally at six different time points over 5 months, a single intravitreal 2 mg dose of TAA completely blocked VEGF-induced retinal and iris leakage for 45 days. VEGF/VEGF receptor-2-mediated Ca2+ mobilization in endothelial cells was not affected by 2 or 24 hr pretreatment with dexamethasone.Conclusion These results indicate that one mechanism by which corticosteroids block blood-ocular barrier breakdown and edema is via their modulation of signaling or effector proteins downstream of the VEGF receptor.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
