PURPOSE. To investigate the effects of Tc-99-MDP, a decay product of (99)mTc-MDP, on the development of choroidal neovascularization (CNV), together with its underlying mechanisms.METHODS. C57BL/6J mice were used to induce CNV by laser photocoagulation. Tc-99-MDP at the doses of 0.5 x 10 (1), 1 x 10(-1), and 2 x 10(-1) mu g/kg or the same volume of PBS was intraperitoneally injected daily after photocoagulation until the end of the experiment. Seven days after laser injury, mice were perfused with fluorescein-labeled dextran, and areas of CNV were measured. Numbers of infiltrating macrophages, protein levels of VEGF, and inflammation-related molecules including intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha, and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) in the RPE-choroid complex were detected 3 days after laser photocoagulation. Effects of Tc-99-MDP on VEGF-induced endothelial cell migration and tube formation were also studied. Toxicity of Tc-99-MDP was evaluated in vivo and in vitro.RESULTS. Areas of CNV were significantly suppressed by Tc-99-MDP treatment without toxicity to the retina compared with PBS treatment in a dose-dependent manner: Tc-99-MDP treatment of 0.5 x 10(-1) mu g/kg (5698.60 +/- 1037.70 mu m(2)), 1 x 10(-1) mu g/kg (3678.34 +/- 1328.18 mu m(2)), and 2 x 10(-1) mu g/kg (2365.78 +/- 923.80 mu m(2)) suppressed the development of CNV by 36.12%, 58.76%, and 73.48%, respectively, compared with that in the PBS treatment group (8920.36 +/- 1097.29 mu m(2); P < 0.001). Tc-99-MDP treatment led to significant inhibition of macrophages infiltrating to CNV together with downregulated protein expressions of VEGF, ICAM-1, TNF-alpha, and MMP-2. Tc-99-MDP also showed an inhibitive effect on cell proliferation and VEGF-induced migration and capillary-like tube formation of endothelial cells.CONCLUSIONS. Anti-inflammatory treatment with Tc-99-MDP has therapeutic potential for CNV-related diseases. (Invest Ophthal mol Vis Sci. 2011;52:5702-5712) DOI:10.1167/iovs.10-6370
