Suppression of In Vivo Neovascularization by the Loss of TRPV1 in Mouse Cornea by Katsuo Tomoyose, Yuka Okada, Takayoshi Sumioka, Masayasu Miyajima, Kathleen C. Flanders, Kumi Shirai, Tomoya Morii, Peter S. Reinach, Osamu Yamanaka, Shizuya Saika

“…Immunohistochemistry showed that immunoreactivity for active form of TGFβ1 and VEGF was detected in subepithelial stroma at the site of cauterization in both genotypes of mice, but the immunoreactivity seemed less marked in mice lacking TRPV1. mRNA expression of VEGF and TGFβ1 in a mouse cornea was suppressed by the loss of TRPV1. TRPV1 gene ablation did not affect invasion of neutrophils and macrophage in a cauterized mouse cornea. …”
