Preliminary discussion on the potential mechanism of follistatin-like protein 1 in the process of proliferative diabetic retinopathy
Objective
To observe the changes of follistatin-like protein 1 (FSTL1) in serum of patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR).
Methods
Twenty PDR patients confirmed by clinical examination and 20 normal people were included in the study. Human retinal vascular endothelial cells (HRCEC) were divided into HRCEC blank control group, 3 h hypoxia group, 6 h hypoxia group. Human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) were divided into HUVEC blank control group, 3h hypoxia group, 6h hypoxia group. Real-time quantitative PCR (RT-PCR) and ELISA were used to determine the expression of FSTL1, TGF-β, VEGF, connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) mRNA and protein in peripheral blood and cells of all groups from all subjects.
Results
The expressions of FSTL1, TGF-β1, CTGF, VEGF mRNA in blood samples of patients with PDR were 1.79±0.58, 0.97±0.21, 1.85±0.69 and 1.38±0.44. The expressions of FSTL1, TGF-β1 protein were 1.19±0.50, 0.71±0.24 ng/ml and 734.03±116.45, 649.36±44.23 ng/L. Compared with normal people, the differences were statistically significant (tmRNA=0.90, 0.21, 2.85, 1.77; P=0.00, 0.00, 0.04, 0.02. tprotein=1.88, 7.68; P=0.00, 0.02). The cell viability of HRCEC cells in the 3 h hypoxia group and the 6 h hypoxia group were 0.66±0.05 and 0.64±0.04, respectively. Compared with the blank control group, the difference was statistically significant (F=13.02, P=0.00). The cell viability of HUVEC cells in the 3 h hypoxia group and the 6 h hypoxia group were 0.63±0.06 and 0.68±0.06, respectively. Compared with the blank control group, the difference was statistically significant (F=26.52, P=0.00). Comparison of FSTL1, TGF-β1, CTGF, and VEGF mRNA expression in HRCEC blank control group and 3 h hypoxia group, the differences were statistically significant (F=14.75, 44.93, 85.54, 6.23; P=0.01, 0.00, 0.00, 0.03). Compared with the HRCEC blank control and 3 h hypoxia group, the expressions of FSTL1 and TGF-β1 protein were statistically significant (P<0.05). There was a statistically significant difference in TGF-β1 protein expression in the hypoxic 6 h group (P=0.03) and no significant difference in FSTL1 protein expression (P=0.68). Comparison of FSTL1, TGF-β1, CTGF, and VEGF mRNA expression in HUVEC blank control group and 3h hypoxia group, the differences were statistically significant (F=19.08, 25.12, 22.89, 13.07; P=0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 0.01). Immunofluorescence staining results showed that FSTL1, TGF-β1, CTGF, and VEGF proteins were positively expressed in cells in the 3h hypoxia and 6h hypoxia groups.
Conclusion
The expression of FSTL1 gene and protein in serum of PDR patients was significantly higher than that of normal people.

期刊介绍:
Chinese Journal of Ocular Fundus Diseases is the only scientific journal in my country that focuses on reporting fundus diseases. Its purpose is to combine clinical and basic research, and to give equal importance to improvement and popularization. It comprehensively reflects the leading clinical and basic research results of fundus disease disciplines in my country; cultivates professional talents in fundus disease, promotes the development of fundus disease disciplines in my country; and promotes academic exchanges on fundus disease at home and abroad. The coverage includes clinical and basic research results of posterior segment diseases such as retina, uveal tract, vitreous body, visual pathway, and internal eye diseases related to systemic diseases. The readers are medical workers and researchers related to clinical and basic research of fundus diseases. According to the journal retrieval report of the Chinese Institute of Scientific and Technological Information, the comprehensive ranking impact factor and total citation frequency of the Chinese Journal of Ocular Fundus Diseases have been among the best in the disciplines of ophthalmology, otolaryngology, and ophthalmology in my country for many years. The papers published have been included in many important databases at home and abroad, such as Scopus, Peking University Core, and China Science Citation Database (CSCD).
