We determined vitreous and serum levels of high mobility group box-1 (HMGB-1) in patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) and elucidate their relationship with receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and interleukin-1β (IL-1β).
<i>Purpose</i>: To investigate the expression of IL-11 and its receptor IL-11Rα and to quantify density of CD163<sup>+</sup> M2 macrophages in proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR).
The objective was to determine the expression of CD200 in the pre-retinal proliferative fibrovascular membranes (PFVM) of patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) and to clarify its correlation with vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and corresponding receptors.
Baseline images were obtained from 2 completed randomized clinical trials (Ranibizumab for Diabetic Macular Edema Panretinal Photocoagulation [RDP] study and Clinical Efficacy of Intravitreal Aflibercept vs Panretinal Photocoagulation for Best Corrected Visual Acuity in Patients With Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy at 52 Weeks [CLARITY] study).

In our previous study, we found that the Raf kinase inhibitor protein (RKIP) is significantly decreased in vitreous humor of proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) patients, which indicated that RKIP might play a role in the development of PDR.
Serum and vitreous adropin concentrations in proliferative diabetic retinopathy patients were significantly reduced compared with those in non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy patients and type 2 diabetes mellitus patients without diabetic retinopathy.
The aim of this study was to determine whether the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the gene encoding a 135-kD centrosomal protein CEP135 rs4865047 and the gene encoding the type 2 NPY protein NPY2Rrs1902491 were associated with the development of rapidly progressive proliferative diabetic retinopathy in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus.
