Abstract

This study compared the effects of vitreous gel, retrohyaloid fluid and subretinal fluid from diabetic and non-diabetic eyes on the proliferation and migration of retinal microvascular cells in vitro. Intraocular fluids were obtained from eyes undergoing repair of retinal detachment, due either to proliferative diabetic retinopathy or rhegmatogenous retinal detachment associated with a degree of proliferative vitreoretinopathy. The results demonstrated that the intraocular stimulatory activity for the proliferation of retinal microvascular endothelial cells varied between the different ocular compartments. The mitogenic and migrational activity in vitreous gel was greater than that of either the subretinal or retrohyaloid fluids of the same eye, and the activity of subretinal fluid was intermediate between that of the vitreous gel and the retrohyaloid fluid. There was no significant difference between the activities of the samples from diabetic and non-diabetic eyes.
