Abstract:
Objective To explore the efficacy of GM6001,tissue inhibitor expression and significance of matrix metalloproteinase?9(MMP?9)in mice model of oxygen?induced retinal neovascularization(RNV)and evaluate the inhibition effect of MMP?9 inhibitor(GM6001)on RNV. Meth?ods Mice were placed in oxygen boxes to establish oxygen?induced RNV animal models. The GM6001 treated or hyperxia control groups received an intravitreal injection of 1μL GM6001(100μmol/L)or PBS at day 11 after birth. The normal control and hyperxia group were not treated. HE staining was used to detect RNV in retinal whole mounts,the mRNA level and protein expression of MMP?9 were measured by RT?PCR,Western blot and immunohistochemistry,respectively. Results RNV in the GM6001 treated group was decreased significantly compared with the hyperxia group and hyperxia control group. Compared with the normal control group,higher protein and mRNA expression of MMP?9 were observed in the hy?perxia group and hyperxia control group. The expression of MMP?9 protein and mRNA were decreased in the GM6001 treated group compared with the hyperxia control group(P<0.05). Conclusion The abnormal expression of MMP?9 was closely correlated with RNV. The development of RNV can be markedly inhibited by MMP?9 inhibitor(GM6001),which,we believe,will provide new molecular targets and therapeutic strategy for retinopathy of prematurity treatment.
