AIP1 Regulates Ocular Angiogenesis Via NLRP12-ASC-Caspase-8 Inflammasome-Mediated Endothelial Pyroptosis.

ABSTRACT: Pathological ocular angiogenesis is a significant cause of irreversible vision loss and blindness worldwide. Currently, most studies have focused on the angiogenesis factors in ocular vascular diseases, and very few endogenous anti-angiogenic compounds have been found. Moreover, although inflammation is closely related to the predominant processes involved in angiogenesis, the mechanisms by which inflammation regulates pathological ocular angiogenesis remain obscure. In this study, a vascular endothelial cells (VECs)-specific anti-angiogenic factor is identified, apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1(ASK1)-interacting protein-1 (AIP1) as a key pathogenic regulator in a typical ocular angiogenesis model, oxygen-induced retinopathy (OIR), using single-cell RNA sequencing. It is demonstrated t
