ITRAQ Quantitative Proteomic Analysis of Vitreous from Patients with Retinal Detachment.

ABSTRACT: Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) is a potentially blinding condition characterized by a physical separation between neurosensory retina and retinal pigment epithelium. Quantitative proteomics can help to understand the changes that occur at the cellular level during RRD, providing additional information about the molecular mechanisms underlying its pathogenesis. In the present study, iTRAQ labeling was combined with two-dimensional LC-ESI-MS/MS to find expression changes in the proteome of vitreous from patients with RRD when compared to control samples. A total of 150 proteins were found differentially expressed in the vitreous of patients with RRD, including 96 overexpressed and 54 underexpressed. Several overexpressed proteins, several such as glycolytic enzymes (fructose-bisphosphate aldolase A, gamma-enolase, and phosphoglycerate kinase 1), glucose transporters (GLUT-1), growth factors (metalloproteinase inhibitor 1), and serine protease inhibitors (plasminogen activator inhibitor 1) are regulated by HIF-1, which suggests that HIF-1 signaling pathway can be triggered in response to RRD. Also, the accumulation of photoreceptor proteins, including phosducin, rhodopsin, and s-arrestin, and vimentin in vitreous may indicate that photoreceptor degeneration occurs in RRD. Also, the accumulation of photoreceptor proteins, including phosducin, rhodopsin, and s-arrestin, and vimentin in vitreous may indicate that photoreceptor degeneration occurs in RRD. Nevertheless, the differentially expressed proteins found in this study suggest that different mechanisms are activated after RRD to promote the survival of retinal cells through complex cellular responses.

Project description:IntroductionRetinal detachment is a sight-threatening emergency, with more than half of those affected suffering permanent visual impairment. A diagnostic test to identify eyes at risk before vision is threatened would enable exploration of prophylactic treatment. This report presents the use of irregularities in retinal shape, quantified from optical coherence tomography (OCT) images, as a biomarker for retinal detachment.MethodsOCT images were taken from posterior and mid-peripheral retina of 264 individuals [97 after a posterior vitreous detachment (PVD), 99 after vitrectomy for retinal detachment and 68 after laser for a retinal tear]. Diagnoses were taken from history, examination and OCT. Retinal irregularity was quantified in the frequency domain, and the distribution of irregularity across the regions of the eye was explored to identify features exhibiting the greatest difference between retinal detachment and PVD eyes. Two of these features plus axial length were used to train a quadratic discriminant analysis classifier. Classifier performance was assessed by its sensitivity and specificity in identifying retinal detachment eyes and visualised with a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.ResultsValidation set specificity was 84% (44/52 PVD eyes correctly labelled) and sensitivity 35% (23/64 retinal detachment eyes identified, p = 0.02). Area under the ROC curve was 0.75 (95% confidence intervals 0.58-0.85). Retinal detachment eyes were significantly more irregular than PVD eyes in the superior retina (0.70 mm versus 0.49 mm, p < 0.05) and supero-temporal retina (1.12 mm versus 0.80 mm, p < 0.05). Lower sensitivity (16/68, 24%) was seen for eyes with a retinal tear without detachment, that were intermediate in size between retinal detachment and PVD eyes. Axial length on its own was a poor classifier. Neither irregularity nor classification were affected by surgery for retinal detachment or the development of PVD.ConclusionsThe classifier identified 1/3 of retinal detachment eyes in this sample. In future work, these features can be evaluated as a test for retinal detachment prior to PVD.

Project description:PurposeTo compare baseline levels of exploratory biomarkers in the vitreous fluid of patients with primary retinal detachment who subsequently develop proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) versus those who do not.MethodsIn this exploratory case-control study, we evaluated the baseline protein biomarker levels from a biobank containing the vitreous fluid of patients who had undergone primary pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. Undiluted samples were collected at the time of PPV and stored at -80°C. Samples from 13 patients who developed PVR within 6 months (PVR group) and 13 age- and gender-matched controls who did not develop PVR (control group) were included. Protein abundance levels were evaluated using a proximity extension assay, and a confirmatory enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to measure the concentration of vimentin.ResultsBaseline vimentin (Normalized Protein eXpression [NPX], 8.6 vs. 6.4, P < 0.0001) and heme oxygenase 1 (NPX 8.9 vs. 7.0, P < 0.001) levels were found to be elevated in vitreous fluid of patients who subsequently developed PVR compared to those who did not. Confirmatory analysis using ELISA demonstrated mean vimentin concentrations of 7254 vs. 2727 ng/mL in the PVR versus control groups (P = 0.0152). The odds ratio for developing PVR was 14 (confidence interval, 1.4-168; P = 0.03), assuming a baseline vimentin threshold of 7500 ng/mL.ConclusionsVimentin is an intermediate filament protein expressed by retinal glial cells, and our data combined with prior evidence suggest that it may serve as an early vitreous biomarker for subsequent PVR formation and reactive gliosis. Furthermore, we found, for the first time, elevated baseline levels of heme oxygenase 1, a measurable indicator of oxidative stress.Translational relevanceOur positive findings could impact clinical care for retinal detachment patients by facilitating risk stratification for targeted interventions or closer monitoring in those at the highest risk of developing PVR.

Project description:PurposeTo investigate the incidence, seasonal variation, and differences among age, sex, and race for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) repair, retinal break (RB) treatment, and posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) in the Intelligent Research in Sight (IRIS) Registry.DesignRetrospective database study.ParticipantsPatients in the IRIS Registry who underwent RRD repair, RB treatment, or cataract surgery (CS) based on Current Procedural Terminology codes and PVD diagnosis based on International Classification of Diseases, Ninth and Tenth Revision, codes.MethodsDaily incidence rates were defined as the ratio of patients who underwent RRD repair or RB treatment and patients with a diagnosis of PVD to the total number of patients followed on a given day within the IRIS Registry. The CS group was included as a comparison for seasonal variation. Rates were stratified by decade of life, sex, and race.Main outcome measuresTime series trends for incidence rates of RRD, RB, and PVD.ResultsA total of 7 115 774 patients received a diagnosis of incident PVD, 237 646 patients underwent RRD repair, and 359 022 patients underwent RB treatment. Also included were 5 940 448 patients who underwent CS. The mean daily incidence for RRD repair, RB treatment, PVD diagnosis, and CS were 0.46 per 100 000 patients, 0.70 per 100 000 patients, 13.90 per 100 000 patients, and 11.80 per 100 000 patients, respectively. Men showed higher incidence of RRD repair and RB treatment than women, whereas women showed higher incidence of PVD diagnosis. Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment incidence was higher in White people compared with other races. Seasonal decreases in PVD, RB treatment, RRD repair, and CS corresponded to national holidays, with larger decreases in winter months. Kaplan-Meier estimates showed that RRD repair and RB treatment typically occurred within 60 days of PVD diagnosis.ConclusionsWithin the IRIS Registry, the highest incidence of RRD was in the 6th and 7th decade of life. There was a higher incidence of RRD repair and RB treatment in men compared with women. The seasonal variation associated with national holidays was less pronounced for RRD repair and RB treatment.
