Abstract

150-kDa oxygen-regulated protein (ORP150), a member of heat-shock protein family located in endoplasmic reticulum (ER), has a critical role in secretion of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). We investigated expression levels of ORP150 and correlated these levels with VEGF and total vitreous antioxidant capacity (TAC) in proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR). We also examined expression of ORP150 in retinas of diabetic rats and in human retinal microvascular endothelial cells (HRMEC). Vitreous samples from 40 PDR and 20 non-diabetic patients, epiretinal membranes from 14 patients with PDR, retinas of rats and HRMEC were studied by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, immunohistochemistry and Western blot analysis. We showed a significant increase in expression of VEGF and ORP150 in vitreous samples from PDR patients compared with controls (p < 0.0001 for both comparisons). Total vitreous antioxidant capacity (TAC) levels were significantly lower in patients with PDR than those in controls (p < 0.0001). Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and ORP150 levels in PDR with active neovascularization were significantly higher than that in inactive PDR (p = 0.016; p = 0.011, respectively). A significant positive correlatio...Continue Reading
