Abstract

To determine whether retinal glial cells (RGCs) participate in the paracrine regulation of retinal neovascularization, we investigated whether cultured RGCs synthesize and release vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) under normoxic or hypoxic conditions. Northern blot analysis demonstrated that cultured RGCs transcribed both VEGF mRNA with two molecular bands approximately 3.9 and 4.3 kilobases (kb), and bFGF mRNA with approximately 3.7 and 6.0 kb. The expression of VEGF mRNA was greatly enhanced by hypoxic cultivation (2% oxygen) when compared with normoxic cultivation (20% oxygen), while the expression of bFGF mRNA by RGCs was not significantly affected by hypoxia. The effects of RGCs-conditioned media (CM) on tritiated-thymidine incorporation and in vitro angiogenesis by retinal capillary endothelial cells (RECs) in producing the formation of capillary-like tubes in type I collagen gels, were evident in the observation that RGCs-CM harvested after hypoxic cultivation significantly enhanced tritiated-thymidine incorporation (1.9 times, P < 0.01) and in vitro angiogenesis (2.4 times, P < 0.01) compared with the normoxic RGCs-CM. These enhancing effects of RGCs-CM at hypoxia were s...Continue Reading
