Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of vision loss in the elderly throughout the world. Treatment of AMD utilizing retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) transplantation represents a promising therapy. However, simplex RPE transplantation can only replace the diseased RPE cells, but has no abilities to stop the development of AMD. It has been indicated that oxidization triggers the development of AMD by inducing the dysfunction and degeneration of RPE cells, which results in the upregulation of local monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1) expression. MCP-1 induces macrophage recruiment which triggers local inflammation. As a result, the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is upregulated by MCP-1 mediated inflammation and results in the formation of choroidal neovascularization (CNV). We accordingly propose a targeted therapy of AMD by subretinal transplanting the compound of RPE cell, MCP-1 antibody, and VEGF antibody and using a magnetic system to guide RPE cell compounds conjugated with superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs). Furthermore, SPION-labelled RPE cells can be tracked and detected in vivo by non-invasive magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This novel RPE cell transplantation methodology seems very promising to provide a new therapeutic approach for the treatment of AMD.
