| Research Abstract |
The long term aim of this research is to reveal the pathogenesis of age-related macular degeneration(AMD) and develop a radical treatment. We successfully developed a new animal model of AMD which is similar to human AMD, by irradiating a low. intensity blue light for a long term(^~ 6 months). We demonstrated an involvement of lipid peroxidation by this photic stress and a chronic inflammation. We also investigated an involvement of innate immunity to the development of AMD, and found that a pretreatment with low dose lipopolysaccharide, the major component of the bacteria wall suppressed the development of choroidal neovascularization, and revealed that IL-10 plays an important role in the mechanism of this immune modification.
