Comparative study of post-natal retinal vascular development in mice models of iPLA2 inhibition and plasmalogen deficiency
2012
Purpose: Plasmalogens are particular phospholipids characterized by the presence of a vinyl-ether bond and of a polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) at sn-1 and sn-2 positions of glycerol, respectively. Even if the plasmalogen content of organs and tissues is well documented, their biological functions are still enigmatic. Plasmalogen deficiency in DAPAT-/- mice leads to developmental abnormalities in retinal vasculature (Acar et al, ARVO 2007 E-Abstract 2978) and to persistent hyaloïd arteries. We hypothesize that plasmalogens regulate retinal vascular development through the liberation of PUFA by a plasmalogen-specific calcium-independent phospholipase A2 (iPLA2). We have performed a compara…
