Popis: AIM: To confirm the role of angiopoietin-like protein 8 (Angptl 8) in proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR). METHODS: The sera and aqueous humor of 10 PDR patients and 10 non-diabetic retinopathy (NDR) patients (idiopathic macular hole patients) were collected and the expression of Angptl 8 was detected by enzyme linked immune-sorbent assay (ELISA). Experimental diabetes mice model was induced with streptozotocin. The expression of glycosylated hemoglobin and Angptl 8 in sera was detected. Recombinant Angptl 8 was re-infused into wild type (WT) diabetic mice and spatial frequency threshold and contrast sensitivity were measured. In vitro retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) were stimulated by recombinant Angptl 8 for 24h. MMT assay were used to detect cell proliferation. At the same time, qRT-PCR and Western blot was used to measure the expression of proliferation-related factors in PRE cells. RESULTS: The expression of Angptl 8 was markedly increased in the sera and aqueous humor of PDR patients (F=99.02, P
