The Effect of CM082, an Oral Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor, on Experimental Choroidal Neovascularization in Rats
Figure 8
Representative CNV lesions in RPE-choroid-sclera flat mounts by perfusion of fluorescein isothiocyanate-dextrcan were obtained 7, 14, and 21 days after photocoagulation. (a, b) The areas of CNV lesions in the vehicle-treated and CM082 group at day 7 were shown and without statistical difference. CM082 (or vehicle) was delivered orally from day 7 (). The area of CNV lesions was significantly reduced under CM082 treatment at day 14 (c, d; ) and 21 (e, f; ). (h, i) There is a significantly inhibition of CNV area in CM082 group compared with that in vehicle-treated group (, ). (j) The CNV area in the CM082 group showed a regression at day 14 and 21 compared with that in day 7 (). Scale bar, 100 μm.
