Omega3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (ω3-PUFAs) are powerful modulators of angiogenesis. However, little is known about the mechanisms governing ω3-PUFA-dependent attenuation of angiogenesis. This study aims to identify a major mechanism by which ω3-PUFAs attenuate retinal neovascularization (NV). Administering ω3-PUFAs exclusively during the neovascular stage of the mouse model of oxygen-induced retinopathy (OIR) induces a direct NV reduction of more than 40% without altering vaso-obliteration (VO) or the regrowth of normal vessels. Co-treatment with an inhibitor of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)γ almost completely abrogates this effect. Inhibition of PPARγ also reverses the ω3-PUFA-induced reduction of retinal TNFα, ICAM-1, VCAM-1, E-Selectin and Ang-2 but not VEGF. These results identify a direct, PPARγ-mediated effect of ω3-PUFAs on retinal NV formation and retinal angiogenic activation that is independent of VEGF.
