摘要
目的:观察血管内皮生长因子(vascular endothelial cell growth factor,VEGF)及其受体在糖尿病视网膜病变(diabetic retinopathy,DR)患者玻璃体中的表达,探讨其在DR发生发展中的作用。方法:对13例16眼DR患者和15例15眼健康人,采用免疫组织化学法检测其玻璃体新生血管膜的VEGF及其受体(fms-样酪氨酸激酶,Flt-1和含激酶插入区受体,KDR)表达情况,同时采用酶联免疫吸附法(ELISA)检测DR患者玻璃体中VEGF、Flt-1和KDR的浓度。结果:免疫组织化学染色显示,DR患者玻璃体血管膜中VEGF、Flt-1和KDR高度表达,玻璃体中VEGF、Flt-1和KDR浓度明显高于对照组(P<0.05或P<0.01)。结论:VEGF及其受体Flt-1、KDR在DR患者玻璃体中高度表达,与DR患者的微血管生成关系密切,提示VEGF及其受体在DR的发生发展中起重要作用。
AIM: To investigate the expression of vascular endothelial cell growth factor( VEGF) and its receptors in vitreous of patients with diabetic retinopathy( DR),and to discuss its role in the development of DR.METHODS: Selected 13 patients( 16 eyes) with DR and15 healthy people( 15 eyes),the expression of VEGF and its receptors( fms-like tyrosine kinase-1,Flt-1 and kinase insert domain containing receptor,KDR) were evaluated by immunohistochemistry in vitreous. The levels of VEGF,the Flt- 1 and KDR in vitreous of patients with DR were examined with enzyme linked immunosorbent assay( ELISA).RESULTS: Immunohistochemical staining showed that the expression of VEGF,Flt-1 and KDR in vitreous vessel membrane of patients with DR was increased significantly.And the levels of VEGF,Flt- 1 and KDR in vitreous of patients with DR were obviously higher than that in the control group( P〈0.05 or P〈0.01).CONCLUSION: VEGF,Flt- 1 and KDR were widely expressed in vitreous of patients with DR, and were positively related to micro-angiogenesis of DR patients. It proved that VEGF and its receptors played important roles in the occurrence and development of DR.
