| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We verified the efficacy of anti-MCP-1 drug to suppress a choroidal neovascularization (CNV). An intravitreal injection of a selective MCP-1 inhibitor, INCB3344, could significantly suppress the CNV area down to 42% in the laser-induced CNV model mouse and 70% in the low-intensity blue light-irradiation-induced CNV model.
We evaluated the photo-toxicity by the blue light to the retina. We evaluated various patterns of blue light irradiation cycles. Every 2day- or 3day-cycle irradiations for 3 months induced oxidative stress to the retina without causing any histopathological changes, while a continuous irradiation for 3 months, even a low intensity, caused histological retinal damages.
