The hormone prolactin (PRL) is emerging as an important regulator of ocular blood vessels. PRL is pro-angiogenic and acquires anti-angiogenic properties after undergoing proteolytic cleavage to the PRL fragment, vasoinhibin. The vascularisation of the rodent retina develops after birth when it rapidly expands until completion at the end of the first postnatal week. Exposure of newborn mice to high oxygen levels lowers the rate of blood vessel growth. In the present study, we investigated whether PRL treatment modifies the vascularisation of the retina in newborn mice exposed to high oxygen or to normoxia and whether the retinal conversion of PRL to vasoinhibin may be altered in the neonate. Newborn mice and their nursing mothers were subjected to 75% oxygen or to normoxia from postnatal day (P) 6 to P8 (group 1) or from P2 to P5 (group 2). PRL (2 µg g-1 , i.p., twice a day) or vehicle was injected from P5 to P8 in group 1 and from P1 to P5 in group 2. PRL treatment reduced the retinal inhibition of blood vessel growth and the increase in vascular regression induced by hyperoxia as revealed by immunofluorescence staining of blood vessels and the expression of angiogenesis and apoptosis markers. The pro-angiogenic effect may involve a reduced conversion of PRL to vasoinhibin. Incubation of PRL with retinal extracts showed reduced activity of the PRL-cleaving protease, cathepsin D, in the neonate vs the adult retina that was further reduced under hyperoxia. PRL and the PRL receptor mRNA were expressed at higher levels in the retina at P8 than in the adult, whereas endogenous PRL was undetectable in the circulation at P8. We conclude that PRL has a pro-angiogenic effect in the neonate retina as a result of its reduced conversion to vasoinhibin and that PRL produced by the retina may help promote physiological vascularisation after birth.
