Fluorescence Angiography with Dual Fluorescence for the Early Detection and Longitudinal Quantitation of Vascular Leakage in Retinopathy
Background: Diabetic retinopathy (DR) afflicts more than 93 million people worldwide and is a leading cause of vision loss in working adults. While DR therapies are available, early DR development may go undetected without treatment due to the lack of sufficiently sensitive tools. Therefore, early d...

description | Background: Diabetic retinopathy (DR) afflicts more than 93 million people worldwide and is a leading cause of vision loss in working adults. While DR therapies are available, early DR development may go undetected without treatment due to the lack of sufficiently sensitive tools. Therefore, early detection is critically important to enable efficient treatment before progression to vision-threatening complications. A major clinical manifestation of early DR is retinal vascular leakage that may progress from diffuse to more localized focal leakage, leading to increased retinal thickness and diabetic macular edema (DME). In preclinical research, a hallmark of DR in mouse models is diffuse retinal leakage without increased thickness or DME, which limits the utility of optical coherence tomography and fluorescein angiography (FA) for early detection. The Evans blue assay detects diffuse leakage but requires euthanasia, which precludes longitudinal studies in the same animals. Methods: We developed a new modality of ratiometric fluorescence angiography with dual fluorescence (FA-DF) to reliably detect and longitudinally quantify diffuse retinal vascular leakage in mouse models of induced and spontaneous DR. Results: These studies demonstrated the feasibility and sensitivity of FA-DF in detecting and quantifying retinal vascular leakage in the same mice over time during DR progression in association with chronic hyperglycemia and age. Conclusions: These proof-of-concept studies demonstrated the promise of FA-DF as a minimally invasive method to quantify DR leakage in preclinical mouse models longitudinally. |
