Intraocular soluble intracellular adhesion molecule-1 correlates with subretinal fluid height of diabetic macular edema

Abstract: Objective:To investigate the correlations between aqueous concentrations of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), soluble intracellular adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1) and diabetic macular edema (DME).Materials and Methods:VEGF, MCP-1 and sICAM-1 concentrations in aqueous humor samples of 22 patients with DME and 23 patients with cataract of a control group were measured with solid-phase chemiluminescence immunoassay.Results:Aqueous VEGF (89.2 ± 58.5 pg/ml versus … Show more

“…This passive diffusion at the level of RPE may become even more important particularly when active pumping function of the RPE was impaired. In one basic research, the concept of Starling's rule may perhaps have a role to explain the observation that intracellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), an immunoglobulin superfamily upregulated by VEGF, was inversely related to SRF height [ 31 ]. Another supportive evidence showed reduced central macular thickness after meal compared with that of before meal, suggesting the glucose effect on the fluid distribution across the retina [ 32 ].…”

“…We can nonetheless confirm the utility of SD-OCT in identifying parameters that can be predictive of better and longer response to DEX-I, thus reinforcing the need to further study combinations of SD-OCT and metabolic biomarkers. One such candidate for study is intracellular adhesion molecule 1, which has been shown to correlate with subretinal fluid height in DME [37].…”

“…31 The importance of RPE to DR development depends on the photoreceptor abnormalities present early in the DR pathogenesis. [32][33][34][35] Another important feature of increasing outer retinal barrier resistance is the fluid accumulation in the subretinal space, particularly in the macular area, [36][37][38][39] which is a hallmark of diabetic macular edema and has important clinical relevance. Thus, the RPE role in DR deserves further investigation and could represent a possible site for novel therapeutic approaches.…”
