Research Abstract |
We performed global gene expression analysis using epiretinal membranes (ERMs) from patients with proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) and mouse model of ischemic retinopathy. Genes preferentially expressed in ERMs were subdivided by the functional sets of genes such as oxidative phosphorylation, cell adhesion, cell communication, cytokine-receptor association. Periostin was expressed in ERMs which located in smooth muscle actin-positive cells. In mouse model of ischemic retinopathy, MIP1β was upregulated in ischemic inner retina and was associated with physiological retinal revascularization.
