Contact between RPE and CECs triggers a PI3K-dependent activation of Rac1 in CECs necessary for their transmigration toward the VEGF gradient in the neurosensory retina. VEGF in the neurosensory retina provides a chemotactic gradient for further migration of CECs resulting in “breakthrough” regions on fluorescein angiography, which represent well-defined and sight-threatening CNV.
