PG - 93-100 LID - S0014-4835(19)30012-0 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.exer.2019.03.018 [doi] AB - Choroidal neovascularization (CNV) is a hallmark of exudative age-related macular degeneration (exAMD) and a major cause of visual loss in AMD. Despite the widespread use of anti-VEGF therapy, serious adverse effects arise from repeated intravitreal injection of anti-VEGF antibodies, which warrant alternative strategy. We report herein that in a CNV murine model created by krypton red laser, intravenous injection of a serine racemase inhibitor, l-Aspartic acid beta-hydroxamate (L-ABH), significantly reduced CNV at the dose 6 mg/kg on the first day before and followed by 3 mg/kg on the third day after laser injury. The CNV volumes were analyzed with isolectin GS-IB4 staining on choroidal/RPE flat mounts on the seventh day after laser injury. Injection of L-ABH did not produce negative effects on retinal function and visual behavior. To dissect the mechanism in vitro, pretreatment with L-ABH in primary RPE cultures significantly reduced production of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and macrophage chemotactic protein 1 (MCP-1) by TNFalpha-primed RPEs. Consistent with these observations, L-ABH pretreatment significantly attenuated macrophage migration mediated by TNFalpha-primed RPE. Collectively, intravenous injection of L-ABH significantly reduced CNV volumes via reducing production of VEGF and MCP-1 by inflammation-primed RPEs. CI - Copyright (c) 2019 Elsevier Ltd.
