| Research Abstract |
Gene expression profiles of oxygen-induced retinopathy and control mice were investigated using real-time PCR. Upregulation of genes associated with inflammation were observed 2 days before the development of neovascularization (NV), and continued until a few days after disappearance of NV. On the other hand, upregulation of genes associated with NV, such as vascular endothelial growth factor and angiopoietin-2, were observed from one day before the development of NV until the disappearance of NV.
