Vascular Endothelial growth Factor (VEGF-A) is the principal stimulator of angiogenesis in wet age related macular degeneration (AMD). However, VEGF-A is generated by alternate splicing into two families, the pro-angiogenic VEGF-Axxx family, and the anti-angiogenic VEGF-Axxxb family. It is the pro-angiogenic family that is responsible for the blood vessel growth seen in AMD. To determine the role of anti-angiogenic isoforms of VEGF-A as inhibitors of choroidal neovascularisation we employed a model of laser induced choroidal neovascularisation in the mouse eye, and investigated VEGF-A165b effects on endothelial cells and VEGFRs in vitro. VEGF-A165b inhibited VEGF-A165-mediated endothelial cell migration with a similar dose effect as ranibizumab and bevacizumab, and 200 fold more potently than pegaptanib. VEGF-A165b bound both VEGFR1 and VEGFR2 with similar affinity to VEGF-A165. After laser injury mice were injected either intraocularly or subcutaneously with recombinant human VEGF-A165b. Intraocular injection of rhVEGF-A165b gave a pronounced dose dependent inhibition of fluorescein leakage, with an IC50 of 16pg/eye, neovascularisation (IC50 0.8pg/eye) and lesion as assessed by histological staining (IC50 8pg/eye). Subcutaneous administration of 100μg twice a week also inhibited fluorescein leakage and neovascularisation and reduced lesion size. These results show that VEGF-A165b is a potent anti-angiogenic agent in mouse model of age related macular degeneration, and suggest that increasing the ratio of anti-to-pro-angiogenic isoforms may be therapeutically effective in this condition.
