Background: Diabetic retinopathy is a leading cause of blindness. The objective was to design a novel fusion protein, Tat PTD-Endostatin-RGD, to treat retinal neovascularization via eye drops instead of traditional intravitreal injection trepapeutical methods.Method: The anti-angiogenesis ability was evaluated in vitro by chick embryo chorioallantoic membrane assay, wound healing assay and tube formation assay. Corneal barrier and blood-retina barrier were constructed in vitro to investigate the penetration ability of Tat PTD-Endostatin-RGD. Western blot was used to detect the integrin alpha(v)beta(3), expression level in rat retina microvascular endothelial cells which was stimulated by S-nitroso-N-acetylpenicillamine. The binding affinity of Tat PTD-Endostatin-RGD to integrin alpha was investigated by evaluating the penetration ability on blood-retina barriers treated with S-nitroso-N-acetylpenicillamine. The pharmacodynamics and efficacy analysis were further carried out in the oxygen-induced retinopathy model in vivo. In addition, the pharmacokinetic profile via eye drops was studied on a C57BL/6 mice model.Result: Tat PTD-Endostatin-RGD showed high anti-angiogenesis activity and high ability to penetrate these two barriers in vitro. The Western blot results indicated S-nitroso-N-acetylpenicillamine upregulated the expression level of integrin alpha(v)beta(3) in a dose-dependent manner. Tat PTD-Endostatin-RGD showed a high affinity to rat retina microvascular endothelial cells treated with S-nitroso-N-acetylpenicillamine. The results showed that Tat PTD-Endostatin-RGD could inhibit abnormal angiogenesis in retina via eye drops.Conclusion: Tat PTD-Endostatin-RGD showed high penetration ability through ocular barriers, bound specifically to integrin alpha(v)beta(3) and effectively inhibited the abnormal angiogenesis.General significance: Tat PTD-Endostatin-RGD represents a potent novel drug applied via eye drops for fundus oculi neovascularization diseases.
