摘要

Abstract Retinal gene delivery via intravitreal injection is hampered by various physiological barriers present in the eye of which the vitreoretinal (VR) interface represents the most serious hurdle. In this study, we present a retinal explant model especially designed to study the role of this interface as a barrier for the penetration of vectors into the retina. In contrast to all existing explant models, the developed model is bovine-derived and more importantly, keeps the vitreous attached to the retina at all times to guarantee an intact VR interface. After ex vivo intravitreal injection into the living retinal explant, the route of fluorescent carriers across the VR interface can be tracked. By applying two different imaging methods on this model, we discovered that the transfer through the VR barrier is size-dependent since 40?nm polystyrene particles are more easily taken up in the retina than 100 and 200?nm sized particles. In addition, we found that removing the vitreous, as commonly done for culture of conventional explants, leads to an overestimation of particle uptake, and conclude that the ultimate barrier to overcome for retinal uptake is undoubtedly the inner limiting membrane. Damaging this matrix resulted in a massive increase in particle transfer into the retina. In conclusion, we have developed a highly relevant ex vivo model that maximally mimics the human in vivo physiology which can be applied as a representative test set-up to assess the potential of promising drug delivery carriers to cross the VR interface.
