Popis: AIM: To observe the expression levels of pigment epithelium-derived factor(PEDF)and vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)in lens epithelial cells(LECs)of diabetic patients with age-related cataract, and explore the pathogenesis of diabetic with age-related cataract.METHODS: Retrospectively study. A total of 30 patients with age-related cataract(ARC group)and 30 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus combined with age-related cataract(DC group)who treated at the Department of Ophthalmology of the First Affiliated Hospital of Bengbu Medical College from August 2020 to April 2021 were collected. Anterior capsule specimens with a diameter of 5.5-6.0mm in the central region of the intraoperative eye were collected during phacoemulsification. The protein expression levels of PEDF and VEGF in LECs were detected by Western-blot. Quantitative real-time PCR(qRT-PCR)was used to detect the relative mRNA expression levels of PEDF and VEGF.RESULTS:PEDF and VEGF were expressed in LECs of both groups, and the relative expression of VEGF mRNA in DC group was 1.364±0.062, which was higher than that of ARC group(1.000±0.0; P
