Regulation of Fibroblast Growth Factor 2 Expression in Oxygen-Induced Retinopathy [Retina]

Conclusions.
In total, these findings illustrate the complexity of translational and transcriptional regulation of FGF2 protein expression in OIR. The augmentation of FGF2 expression and reduced optokinetic responses during the resolution of surface vasculopathy may indicate a role for FGF2 in the maintenance of neuroretinal function in OIR/ROP.
