Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) affects only premature infants, but as premature births increase in many areas of the world, ROP has become a leading cause of childhood blindness. Blindness can occur from aberrant developmental angiogenesis that leads to fibrovascular retinal detachment. In order to treat severe ROP, it is important to study normal developmental angiogenesis and the stresses that activate pathologic signaling events and aberrant angiogenesis in ROP. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) signaling is important in both physiologic and pathologic developmental angiogenesis. Based on studies in animal models of oxygen-induced retinopathy (OIR), exogenous factors such as oxygen levels, “oxidative stress,” inflammation, and nutritional capacity have been linked to severe ROP through dysregulated signaling pathways involving hypoxia inducible factors and angiogenic factors like VEGF, oxidative species, and neuroprotective growth factors to cause “phases” of ROP. This translational science review will focus on studies performed in animal models of OIR representative of human ROP and highlight several areas: mechanisms for aberrant growth of blood vessels into the vitreous rather than into the retina through over activation of VEGF receptor 2 (VEGFR2) signaling, the importance of targeting different cells into the retina in order to inhibit aberrant angiogenesis and promote physiologic retinal vascular development, toxicity from broad and targeted inhibition of VEGF bioactivity, and the role of VEGF in neuroprotection in retinal development. Several future translational treatments are discussed, including considerations for targeted inhibition of VEGF signaling instead of broad intravitreal anti-VEGF treatment.
