UNLABELLED: Purpose/Aim: Intravitreal bevacizumab (Avastin) is an irreversible vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) inhibitor used off-label to treat severe retinopathy of prematurity in extremely low gestational age neonates. VEGF and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and the tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) participate in lung maturation. We tested the hypothesis that intravitreal bevacizumab enters the systemic circulation and has long-lasting effects on lung MMPs.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Neonatal rats were exposed to: (1) hyperoxia (50% O2); (2) intermittent hypoxia (IH) (50% O2 with brief episodes of 12% O2); or (3) room air (RA) from birth (P0) to P14. At P14, the time of eye opening in rats, a single dose of Avastin (0.125 mg) was injected into the vitreous cavity of the left eye. A control group received equivalent volume saline. At P23 and P45, lung MMP-2 and MMP-9, and TIMP-1, and TIMP-2 were assessed in the lungs.
RESULTS: At P23, Avastin increased MMP-2, MMP-9, and TIMP-1 levels in the hyperoxia group but decreased TIMP-1 levels in the IH group. The ratios of MMP-2/TIMP-1 and MMP-9/TIMP-1 were significantly elevated at P23 in the IH group treated with Avastin. At P45, the levels of MMP-2 and MMP-9 remained elevated in the hyperoxia and IH groups treated with Avastin, while a rebound increase in TIMP-1 levels was noted in the IH group.
CONCLUSIONS: Avastin treatment in IH has lasting alterations in the balance between MMPs and their tissue inhibitors. These changes may lead to impaired alveologenesis and tissue damage consistent with bronchopulmonary dysplasia/chronic lung disease.
