Abstract

PURPOSE: To evaluate the expression profiles of the VEGF

METHODS: In this nonrandomized prospective study, 75 patients (34 females and 41 males) referred to pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) due to different retinal diseases were enrolled to the study. The samples of ERMs and ILMs collected during PPV were immediately put in TRIzol® Reagent (Life Technologies, USA) and stored at -70°C until RNA extraction. Gene expression analysis was done with TaqMan® Gene Expression Assays (Applied Biosystems, USA) following the manufacturer's instructions.

RESULTS: The gene expression levels of VEGF

CONCLUSIONS: Our results revealed that factors associated with angiogenesis and wound healing processes in eyes with RRD, PDR, iERM, and MH were more upregulated in ERMs than in ILMs. This may indicate that ILM is not responsible for reproliferation and its peeling should be avoided in routine PPV.
