Dysregulated Serum Lipid Metabolism Promotes the Occurrence and Development of Diabetic Retinopathy Associated With Upregulated Circulating Levels of VEGF-A, VEGF-D, and PlGF

Purpose: This study aims to explore the correlations of arteriosclerosis-associated plasma indices with various severity levels of diabetic retinopathy (DR) and to test the hypothesis that elevated circulating level of known angiogenic cytokines induced by hyperglycemia is associated with dyslipidem...

The patients were categorized based on their DR status into those with no DR (diabetes mellitus, DM), non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR), and proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) groups. The biochemical profile including fasting glucose, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), lipid profile were estimated, plasma angiogenic cytokines (vascular endothelial growth factor, VEGF-A, -C, -D) and placental growth factor (PlGF) were analyzed by protein microarrays. The atherogenic plasma index (API) was defined as low-density lipoprotein cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C/HDL-C); atherogenic index (AI) was calculated as (TC-(HDL-C))/HDL-C and atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) was defined as log (TG/HDL-C).Results: No significant differences were detected in the duration of hypertension, age, and gender between the three groups. Serum TC and LDL-C, AI, and API in the NPDR group and PDR group were significantly higher than those in the DM group. The circulating level of PlGF, VEGF-A, and VEGF-C were significantly correlated with the severity of DR. VEGF-D is a risk factor independent of API (Z = −2.61, P = 0.009) and AI (Z = −2.40, P = 0.016).

API: P = 0.027, OR = 1.56, VEGF-D:P = 0.002, OR = 1.00] and PlGF [AI: P = 0.021, OR = 1.43; VEGF-D: P = 0.004, OR = 1.50.
