Investigating the Role of PPAR?/? in Retinal Vascular Remodeling Using Ppar?/?-Deficient Mice.


ABSTRACT: Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)?/? is a member of the nuclear receptor superfamily of transcription factors, which plays fundamental roles in cell proliferation and differentiation, inflammation, adipogenesis, and energy homeostasis. Previous studies demonstrated a reduced choroidal neovascularization (CNV) in Ppar?/?-deficient mice. However, PPAR?/?'s role in physiological blood vessel formation and vessel remodeling in the retina has yet to be established. Our study showed that PPAR?/? is specifically required for disordered blood vessel formation in the retina. We further demonstrated an increased arteriovenous crossover and wider venous caliber in Ppar?/?-haplodeficient mice. In summary, these results indicated a critical role of PPAR?/? in pathological angiogenesis and blood vessel remodeling in the retina.

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)β/δ is a member of the nuclear receptor superfamily of transcription factors, which plays fundamental roles in cell proliferation and differentiation, inflammation, adipogenesis, and energy homeostasis.
