- W4229891452 abstract "Abstract Backgorund To identify disease-specific cytokine and growth factor profile differences in the aqueous humor between wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD) patients and age-matched controls and to correlate their levels with the optical coherence tomography (OCT) findings. Methods Aqueous humors were obtained from 13 wet AMD eyes and 10 control eyes. Twenty cytokines and growth factors were measured using a RayBio antibody microarray technology in wet AMD and control eyes. Results The samples obtained from wet AMD patients exhibited a significantly increased expression of MCP-1, MIP-1α, MIP-1β, and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Subretinal fluid (SRF) patients showed significantly lower levels of proinflammatory cytokines, such as IL-1α and GM-CSF, than those without SRF. Pigment epithelial detachments (PED) patients showed lower levels of inflammatory cytokines, such as GM-CSF, IFN-γ, and TNF-α, than those without PED. Subretinal tissue (SRT) patients showed a higher level of IFN-γ than those without SRT. Compared with the controls, type 1 choroidal neovascularization (CNV) patients showed increased levels of MCP-1, MIP-1α, and MIP-1β, but not VEGF ( p = 0.083). However, type 2 CNV patients showed increased levels of MCP-1 and VEGF ( p = 0.040 and p = 0.040). Conclusion Inflammatory cytokines varied according to the type of AMD- and OCT-based parameters. Our observation of low levels of VEGF in patients with type 1 CNV implies that the inhibition of VEGF alone appears to be insufficient treatment for these patients and that cytokines such as MCP-1, MIP-1α, and MIP-1β should be modulated. And the presence of SRF in CNV may be associated with a positive prognosis because we found relatively low levels of proinflammatory cytokines. Thus, treatment decisions for patients with wet AMD should be based on OCT-based biomarkers and angiographic classification schemes, and in patients with wet AMD, which is not treated well with anti-VEGF alone, it is necessary to analyze inflammatory cytokines." @default.
