Interleukin (IL)-6, Interleukin (IL)-8 Levels and Cellular Composition of the Vitreous Humor in Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy, Proliferative Vitreoretinopathy, and Traumatic Proliferative Vitreoretinopathy

Abstract: The findings suggest that IL-6 and IL-8 may be involved in the pathogenesis of PDR, PVR, and traumatic PVR. High proportions of RPE cells and macrophages are associated with elevated IL-6 and IL-8 levels in the vitreous of PDR and PVR patients; however, the fact that these cells are not predominant in traumatic PVR suggests that different immune response mechanisms may be active in the pathogenesis of these disorders.

“…Rhegmatogenous retinal detachments allow mislocalization of cells (retinal pigment epithelial cells, glial cells, and fibroblasts) into vitreous (11,12,16,52). These cells proliferate, deposit extracellular matrix, and assemble into a membrane that physically associates with the retina.…”

“…Yoshimura et al [25] have reported the increased levels of vitreal VEGF, IL-6, IL-8 and MCP-1 in PDR. Previous studies also reported increased vitreous levels of VEGF [26,27], IL-6 [21][22][23]25,27], IL-8 [23][24][25]28], and MCP-1 [25,26,28] in PDR.…”

“…IL-8 is an inflammatory and angiogenic mediator. Increased vitreous leves of IL-6 and IL-8 correlate with disease severity as discussed by Canataroglu et al [23]. However, Petrovic et al [24] stated that increased vitreous levels of IL-8 is not associated with active PDR.…”

“…Dysfunctional barriers permit inflammatory molecules and immune cells from systemic circulation to enter the retina and cause further deterioration of the tissue [6,11]. Cytological examination of the vitreous samples from PDR patients were found to contain significant amounts of macrophages suggesting the infiltration of systemic immune cells into the retina [12,13]. In addition, there was an increase in adhesion molecule expression and pro-inflammatory cytokine production, suggesting the role of defective neutrophil activity in the development of chronic inflammation in diabetic retinopathy [14,15] (Figure 1).…”
