Background Proliferative vitreo-retinal diseases include all the overly proliferative diseases of eyes.Many kinds of cytokines play important roles in their pathogenesis.Hypoxia-inducible factor 1α(HIF-1α)participates in the pathogenesis of a lot of ischemic diseases.HIF-1α may play an important role in the pathogenesis of proliferative vitreo-retinal diseases. Objective Present study was to observe the expression of HIF-1α in vitreous body in the eyes with proliferative vitreo-retinal diseases.The vitreous samples were collected during the vitrectomy from 71 eyes of 69 patients(experimental group)including 39 eyes with proliferative diabetic retinopathy(PDR)and 32 eyes with proliferative Vitreoretinopathy(PVR).Sixteen eyes of 16 patients as the cases control group,including 14 eyes with macular hole(MH)and 2 eyes with epiretinal macular membrane(ERM).What is more,there were 8 vitreous fluid samples of the normal control group.The concentrations of HIF-1α in vitreous body were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).The written informed consent was obtained from each patient before any medical procedure. Results The concentrations of HIF-1α in vitreous body in the eyes of experimental group,the cases control group and the normal control group were(294.08±2.97)、(260.41±8.29)、(16.38±3.56)mg/L respectively,showing a significant difference among the three groups(F=248.77,P=0.00).The concentrations of HIF-1α in vitreous body were obviously increased in the eyes of experimental group in comparison with the normal control group and the cases control group respectively(t=22.25,P=0.00;t=2.70,P=0.00 respectively).The concentrations of HIF-1α in vitreous body were increased in the eyes of the cases control group in comparison with the normal control group eyes(t=14.21,P=0.00).There was inferior correlation between the concentrations of HIF-1α in vitreous body in the eyes of experimental group and the course of ophthalmopathy. Conclusion Intravitreous HIF-1α level regulates in the eyes with proliferative vitreo-retinal diseases. Expression of HIF-1α in vitreous had inferior correlation with the course of ophthalmopathy. HIF-1α may play an important role in the pathogenesis of proliferative vitreo-retinal diseases.
