目的探讨生长停滞特异基因6(Gas6)、基质细胞衍生因子1(SDF-1)在糖尿病视网膜病变(DR)发病机制中的作用。方法收集我院就诊的2型糖尿病患者120例,并根据糖尿病分期分为糖尿病无视网膜病变组(NDR)、单纯型DR组(BDR)及增生型DR组(PDR)3组,每组40例;正常组我院体检的健康成年人40例;测定血中白细胞和中性粒细胞的数量,总胆固醇(TC)、甘油三酯(TG)、高密度脂蛋白胆固醇(HDLC)、低密度脂蛋白(LDL-C)的含量,酶联免疫吸附试验(ELISA)测定受试者血清中Gas6、SDF-1α和SDF-1β的水平。结果 PDR组血清中TC水平明显高于其余3组(P=0.023、0.041、0.046);PDR组白细胞计数显著降低,与其余3组比较差异有统计学意义(P=0.016、0.021,0.019),BDR组的中性粒细胞计数高于PDR组(P=0.028),正常组和NDR组HDL-C水平高于PDR组(P=0.031),4组的血清TG水平差异无统计学意义(P=0.42);正常组血清Gas6水平明显高于3组糖尿病患者,差异有统计学意义(P=0.028);NDR组、BDR组和PDR组患者血清SDF-1α水平高于正常组(P=0.02),且BDR组和PDR组高于NDR组(P=0.04);BDR组和PDR组血清SDF-1β水平明显高于正常组和NDR组(P=0.014);DR患者血清Gas6与TC、TG水平均呈弱正相关(P〈0.05);DR患者血清SDF-1β水平与白细胞的数量呈弱正相关(P〈0.05)。结论 Gas6可能是通过改变患者的脂质代谢状况而参与DR的发病过程;DR病变后,由于视网膜部位的缺血、缺氧诱导了SDF-1α、SDF-1β的高表达,参与视网膜血管的新生;Gas6、SDF-1与DR的发病机制有关。
Objective To study on the role of growth arrest specific gene 6 ( Gas6), strormal cell-derived factor 1 ( SDF-1 ) in the pathogenesis of diabetic retinopathy. Methods One hundred and twenty patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus were collected. They were divided into three groups according to the diabetic stages: without diabetic retinopathy (NDR), background diabetic retinopathy (BDR) and proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR). There were 40 cases in each group. The normal group included 40 healthy adults . The number of white blood cell and neutrophil determination, total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride(TG), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low density lipoprotein( LDL- C ) were measured. The serum Gas6, SDF-1 o~ and SDF-1 [3 level were measured by ELISA. Results Serum TC level in PDR group was significantly higher than that in the other three groups (P = 0. 023, 0. 041, 0. 046). PDR group had significant decrease of white blood cell count with statistically significant difference compared with the other three groups (P = 0.016, 0.021, 0.019). BDR group had higher neutrophil count than PDR group (P = O. 028). Normal group and NDR group had higher level of HDL-C than PDR group (P = 0. 031 ). There was no statistical significance of the level of serum TG (P = O. 42) among four groups. The level of serum Gas6 of normal group was significantly higher than that of the other three groups with diabetic patients (P =0.028) ; The level of serum SDF-1 o~ in group NDR, group BDR and group PDR were higher than that in normal group (P = 0.02), and that in BDR group and PDR group were higher than that in NDR group (P = 0.04). The levels of serum SDF-1 13 in BDR group and PDR group were significantly higher than that in the normal group and the NDR group (P --0.014). Gas6 showed a weakly positively correlated with serum level of TC and TG in patients with DR ( P 〈 0.05 ). The level of serum SDF-1 β was weakly positively correlated w
