Interleukin-19 Promotes Retinal Neovascularization in a Mouse Model of Oxygen-Induced Retinopathy

Abstract

These findings suggest that IL-19 enhances pathological neovascularization through a direct effect on microvascular endothelial cells and the promotion of M2 macrophage polarization. The inhibition of IL-19 may be a potential treatment for retinal neovascularization.
