Abstract

High intraocular pressure (IOP) is one of the early complications after pars plana vitrectomy (PPV), which may cause glaucoma and poor visual prognosis secondary to surgery. Proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) is one of the complications of retinal detachment (RD) and is the main reason for the poor prognosis, which is related to different kinds of cytokines. It's essential for the basic mechanism to analyze the relative aqueous humor cytokine profiles with IOP after PPV for RD. In this study, we have collected the aqueous humor of 16 patients and qualified 27 cytokines using Luminex and compared biomarkers with the high IOP group and the normal group. As a result, the concentrations of VEGF, IL-6, FGF2, and G-CSF upregulated significantly (P < 0.05), while VEGFR2 downregulated significantly (P < 0.05) in the high IOP group. IL-6 was positively correlated with high IOP (r = 0.561, P = 0.041). Meanwhile, the concentrations of IL-6 (r = 0.543, P = 0.03), IL-5 (r = 0.576, P = 0.019), IL-15 (r = 0.614, P = 0.011), IL-4 (r = 0.517, P = 0.04), ICAM-1 (r = 0.611, P = 0.012), and G-CSF (r = 0.636, P = 0.008) were significantly associated with preoperative PVR classification, and the aqueous humor levels of IL-4 (r = 0.567, P = 0.022), HGF (r = 0.701, P = 0.005), and MCP-1 (r = 0.565, P = 0.035) are significant relative to laser points. Hence, cytokines might potentially be the therapeutic target of high IOP after PPV.
