Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We found that retinal pigment epithelium (RPE)/choroid thickness was significantly increased from 4 to 8 weeks after streptozotocin (STZ) stimulation, which reached maximum at 8 weeks. Histopathology demonstrated thickened choroid comprising stromal accumulation of some materials and pigments as well as small vessels 8 weeks after stimulation. We further examined protein concentrations using ELISA system. VEGF and alphaB-crystallin concentrations in RPE/choroid proteins were significantly lower in 8 weeks after STZ mice than 4 weeks or control mice. Retinal tissue proteins also revealed similar VEGF/alphaB-crystallin concentrations. We now try to analyze mechanisms underlying such down-regulation of VEGF/alphaB-crystallin in STZ-induced diabetic mice.
