Purpose: To study the gene expression pattern during retinal neovascularization in the mouse model of retinopathy of prematurity. Method: Retinal neovascularization was induced using the retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) hyperoxia/hypoxia model. Thirty-five experimental C57BL/J6 mice were exposed to 75% oxygen from postnatal day 7 to day 12. On day 12 and day 19 (6 hours after finishing high oxygen exposur) the mice were sacrificed and the retinae were removed for RNA isolation. Gene microarray and Taqman system were used for analysis of gene expression. Eyes were also analyzed by immunohistochemistry staining in…
