| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Recently, a number of studies have demonstrated the effects of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) treatment on intraocular proliferation in eyes with age-related macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy. However, despite the frequent intravitreal injection of the anti-VEGF drugs, its effect is often limited. As a disease responsible molecule for intraocular ploriferative diseases, we have successfully identified periostin, a matricellular protein. On the other hand, a next-generation gapmer antisense oligonucleotides that is stable with high safety has been recently developed. In this study, the next generation antisense oligonucleotides targeting periostin was synthesized. Periostin-targeting gapmer antisense oligonucleotides significantly inhibited fibrovascular proliferation both in vitro and in vivo models of intraocular proliferation .
