增生型糖尿病视网膜病变患者外周血内皮祖细胞的数量变化及意义

目的 观察增生型糖尿病视网膜病变(PDR)患者外周血内皮祖细胞(EPCs)数量的变化规律,探讨EPCs在糖尿病视网膜病变(DR)发病机制中的作用.方法 PDR患者40例(PDR组)、单纯2型糖尿病患者30例(糖尿病组)及健康体检者20名(对照组)纳入研究.抽取3组受检者晨起空腹静脉血2 ml,反复离心过滤.采用流式细胞仪分析2×105个细胞,以CD34和(或)CD133双阳性细胞群为EPCs,观察并比较3组受检者外周血EPCs数量变化;同时分析PDR患者外周血EPCs数量与DR病程、糖化血红蛋白及血脂的相关性.结果 PDR组、糖尿病组及对照组受检者外周血EPCs计数分别为(49±12)、(35±11)、(90±25)个/ml,3组间差异有统计学意义(F=56.260,P＜0.05).相关性分析发现,PDR患者外周血EPCs数量与DR病程呈正相关(r=0.564,P＜0.05),与糖化血红蛋白(r=-0.170,P>0.05)及血脂(r=0.261,P>0.05)均无相关性.结论 PDR患者外周血EPCs数量较正常者明显降低;EPCs在DR发病机制中可能具有一定作用.

Abstract：

Objective To investigate the amounts of endothelial progenitor cells(EPCs)in peripheral blood of patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy(PDR).Methods Forty patients with PDR(PDR group),thirty patmnts with type 2 diabetes mellitus(DM)without DR(DM group),and twenty agematched normal subjects(control group)were enrolled in this study.Blood samples were treated bv repeated centrifugation and stained with monoclonal antibodies.At least 2 × 105 cells were analyzed bv flow cytometry.EPCs were identified by CD34 and CD133 antibody.The correlation between EPCs numbers and DR duration,glycosylated hemoglobin,serum lipids was analyzed.Results The number of EPCs in PDR,DM and control group were(49±12)、(35±11)、(90±25)cells/ml respectively,the difference was statistically significant(F=56.260,P=0.000).There was a positive correlation between EPCs numbers and DR duration(r=0.564,P＜0.05).However there was no correlation between EPCs numbers and glycosylated hemoglobin(r=-0.170,P>0.05)or triglyceride levels(r=0.261,P>0.05).Conclusions The number of EPCs in peripheral blood of PDR patients was decreased. EPCs might play an important role in the pathogenesis of PDR.
