The study investigated the effect of intravitreally administered tanibirumab, a fully human monoclonal antibody against vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2, in a rat model of laser-induced choroidal neovascularization (CNV).
CNV was induced by laser photocoagulation on day 0 in the eyes of Brown Norway rats. Intravitreal injection of tanibirumab or phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) was done on day 0 (prevention arm) or day 7 (treatment arm). Seven days after injection, the eyes were enucleated and retinal pigment epithelium-choroid-sclera flat mounts were prepared. Areas of CNV were determined in the flat mounts using tetramethylrhodamine isothiocyanate Bandeiraea simplicifolia (BS) isolectin labeling and intravenously administered fluorescein isothiocyanate-dextran and quantified using an image analysis program.
In the prevention arm, the mean area of CNV measured by BS isolectin labeling was reduced by 28.2% and 53.9% in tanibirumab-treated eyes (20 and 60 μg, respectively) compared with PBS-treated control eyes on day 7 (P=0.038 and P<0.001, respectively). In the treatment arm, the mean area of CNV measured by BS isolectin labeling was reduced by 28.7% and 46.0% in tanibirumab-treated eyes (20 and 60 μg, respectively) compared with PBS-treated control eyes on day 14 (P=0.048 and P<0.001, respectively).
Intravitreally administered tanibirumab partially suppressed the formation of new CNV and partially regressed preformed laser-induced CNV in the rat model. Tanibirumab may be a feasible treatment for CNV associated with age-related macular degeneration or other causes.
本研究在激光诱导脉络膜新生血管(CNV)大鼠模型中,调查玻璃体内注射完全人源化抗血管内皮生长因子受体2单克隆抗体他尼珠单抗的效果。
在第0天对挪威棕色大鼠眼进行激光光凝诱导CNV。在第0天(预防组)或第7天(治疗组)玻璃体内注射他尼珠单抗或磷酸盐缓冲盐水(PBS)。注射7天后,摘除眼球并制备视网膜色素上皮-脉络膜-巩膜铺片。使用异硫氰酸四甲基罗丹明单叶豆(BS)凝集素标记和平静脉注射异硫氰酸荧光素-葡聚糖,在铺片中确定CNV面积,并使用图像分析程序进行量化。
在预防组中,与第7天PBS处理的对照眼相比,他尼珠单抗处理的眼(分别为20和60μg)通过BS凝集素标记测量的CNV平均面积减少了28.2%和53.9%(P分别为0.038和P<0.001)。在治疗组中,与第14天PBS处理的对照眼相比,他尼珠单抗处理的眼(分别为20和60μg)通过BS凝集素标记测量的CNV平均面积减少了28.7%和46.0%(P分别为0.048和P<0.001)。
玻璃体内注射他尼珠单抗可部分抑制大鼠模型中新生CNV的形成,并使预先形成的激光诱导CNV部分消退。他尼珠单抗可能是治疗与年龄相关性黄斑变性或其他原因相关的CNV的可行疗法。
