Difference in the Vitreal Protein Profiles of Patients with Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy with and without Intravitreal Conbercept Injection.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To examine the difference in the vitreal protein profiles of patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) with and without preoperative intravitreal conbercept (IVC) treatment.

Methods

Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry- (LC-MS/MS-) based proteomic methods were used to determine the protein profiles of the vitreous humor in patients with PDR treated with (IVC group; n = 9) and without (PDR group; n = 8) preoperative IVC. Gene ontology (GO) annotation and REACTOME pathway analysis were obtained to overview differentially expressed proteins between each group. Intravitreal levels of apolipoprotein A-II (APOA2) and ceruloplasmin (CP) were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays.

Results

307 proteins were expressed differentially between PDR and IVC groups, including 218 proteins downregulated in response to IVC. The most notable GO annotations in level 3 and REACTOME pathways describing the differentially expressed proteins were "innate immune response" and "platelet degranulation." The intravitreal levels of APOA2 and CP were lower in the IVC group than in the PDR group (p < 0.01).

Conclusions

In addition to decreasing the intravitreal vascular endothelial growth factor level, IVC may alter the vitreal protein profile in patients with PDR, with the differentially regulated proteins involved in the immune response, platelet degranulation, complement activation, and inflammation.

Project description:PurposeIntravitreal Conbercept (IVC) has been shown to be effective in treating proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) as an adjuvant in pars plana vitrectomy (PPV); however, the best timing of IVC injection remains unknown. This network meta-analysis (NMA) sought to ascertain the comparative efficacy of different timings of IVC injection as an adjuvant to PPV on PDR.MethodsA comprehensive literature search was conducted in PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library to identify relevant studies published before August 11, 2022. According to the mean time of IVC injection before PPV, the strategy was defined as very long interval if it was > 7 days but ≤ 9 days, long interval if it was > 5 days but ≤ 7 days, mid interval if it was > 3 days but ≤ 5 days, and short interval if it was ≤ 3 days, respectively. The strategy was defined as perioperative IVC if IVC was injected both before and at the end of PPV, and the strategy was intraoperative IVC if injected immediately at the end of PPV. The mean difference (MD) and odds ratio (OR) with corresponding 95% confidence interval (CI) for continuous and binary variables, respectively, were computed through network meta-analysis using Stata 14.0 MP.ResultsEighteen studies involving 1149 patients were included. There was no statistical difference between intraoperative IVC and control in treating PDR. Except for a very long interval, preoperative IVC significantly shortened operation time, and reduced intraoperative bleeding and iatrogenic retinal breaks. Long and short intervals reduced endodiathermy application, and mid and short intervals reduced postoperative vitreous hemorrhage. Moreover, long and mid intervals improved BCVA and central macular thickness. However, very long interval was associated with an increased risk of postoperative vitreous hemorrhage (RR: 3.27, 95%CI: 1.84 to 5.83). Moreover, mid interval was better than intraoperative IVC in shortening operation time (MD: -19.74, 95%CI: -33.31 to -6.17).ConclusionsThere are no discernible effects of intraoperative IVC on PDR, but preoperative IVC, except for very long interval, is an effective adjuvant to PPV for treating PDR.

Project description:PurposeIntravitreal anti-VEGF injection (IVI) is administered before vitrectomy to assist management of proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR)-related complications. In the clinical setting, retinal surgeons determine the use of preoperative IVI based on individual criteria. In this study, we investigated factors related to the potential bias of retinal surgeons in using IVI prior to vitrectomy for PDR-related complications, and evaluated the real-world outcomes of surgeon-determined preoperative IVI.MethodsMedical records of 409 eyes of 409 patients who underwent 25-gauge vitrectomy for PDR complications at seven Japanese centers (22 surgeons) were retrospectively reviewed. Ocular factors, demographic and general clinical factors, surgical procedures, and postoperative complications were compared between IVI group (patients who received preoperative IVI; 87 eyes, 21.3%) and non-IVI group (patients who did not receive preoperative IVI; 322 eyes, 78.7%). In addition, baseline HbA1c in IVI group and non-IVI group was compared between eyes with and without postoperative complications.ResultsAt baseline, IVI group was younger (P<0.001), had shorter duration of diabetes treatment (P = 0.045), and higher frequencies of neovascular glaucoma [NVG] (P<0.001) and tractional retinal detachment [TRD] (P<0.001) compared to non-IVI group. Although IVI group had higher frequencies of intraoperative retinal break and tamponade procedure, there were no significant differences in postoperative complications and additional treatments between two groups. Baseline HbA1c levels were also not correlated with postoperative complications of VH, NVG, and RD both in IVI group and non-IVI group. Logistic regression analysis identified age (P<0.001, odds ratio [OR] 0.95), presence of NVG (P<0.001, OR 20.2), and presence of TRD (P = 0.0014, OR 2.44) as preoperative factors in favor of IVI.ConclusionsIn this multicenter real-world clinical study, younger age and presence of NVG and TRD were identified as potential biases in using IVI before vitrectomy for PDR complications. Eyes that received preoperative IVI had more intraoperative retinal breaks requiring tamponade than eyes not receiving IVI, but postoperative outcome was not different between the two groups.
