Inhibition of CD146 lessens uveal melanoma progression through reducing angiogenesis and vasculogenic mimicry
ConclusionsCD146 is a novel mediator of both angiogenesis and vasculogenic mimicry in uveal melanoma. Its antibody AA98 has the potency to be developed as a new antibody drug for treating uveal melanoma. Our results warrant further assessment of CD146 as a potential target to improve therapeutic management of uveal melanoma in a clinical setting.

Mechanism of FGF7 gene silencing in regulating viability, apoptosis, invasion of retinoblastoma cell line HXO-Rb44 and angiogenesis.
CONCLUSIONS: FGF7 gene silencing can inhibit the viability and invasion of RB cells and the expression of angiogenesis-related factors and can promote RB apoptosis. PMID: 32329827 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

SOCS and Herpesviruses, With Emphasis on Cytomegalovirus Retinitis
Christine I. Alston1,2 and Richard D. Dix1,2* 1Department of Biology, Viral Immunology Center, Georgia State University, Atlanta, GA, United States 2Department of Ophthalmology, Emory University School of Medicine, Atlanta, GA, United States Suppressor of cytokine signaling (SOCS) proteins provide selective negative feedback to prevent pathogeneses caused by overstimulation of the immune system. Of the eight known SOCS proteins, SOCS1 and SOCS3 are the best studied, and systemic deletion of either gene causes early lethality in mice. Many viruses, including herpesviruses such as herpes simplex virus and cytomega...
