Effects of Phenotype of Retinal Macrophages on the Features of Angiogenesis of Murine Retina

  • Published:
Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine Aims and scope

The period of forming of superficial vascular plexus during physiological retinal angiogenesis was shorter in C57Bl/6 mice. Experiments on the model of oxygen-induced retinopathy showed that avascular and vascularized zones in BALB/c mice on day 17 are smaller than in C57Bl/6 mice are by 5 and 1.5 times, respectively. The obtained results confirmed the importance of phenotype of retinal macrophages in the regulation of processes of both physiological and pathological retinal angiogenesis.
