ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To investigate whether angiopoietin-like 3 (ANGPTL3) and angiopoietin-like 4 (ANGPTL4) are differentially associated with the severity of retinopathy in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).DESIGN:
Cross-sectional study.METHODS:
Serum levels of ANGPTL3, ANGPTL4, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (CRP), vascular adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1), intracellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) were quantified by ELISA. Retinal images were recorded to assess the grade of diabetic retinopathy (DR). Multivariable-adjusted logistic analysis was performed to estimate the association of each biomarker and DR stage.RESULTS:
Among 1192 T2DM patients, 426 (35.7%) had nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR) and 56 (4.5%) had proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR). After adjusting for covariables, the odds ratios expressing the risk of having DR vs no DR (n = 710 vs 482) were 1.23 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.08-1.40, P = .002) for ANGPTL3; 0.90 (95% CI, 0.79-1.02; P = .095) for ANGPTL4; and 1.14 (95% CI, 1.00-1.29; P = .044) for VEGF. The risk of having no DR vs NPDR (n = 710 vs 426) was 1.16 (95% CI, 1.01-1.32; P = .036) for ANGPTL3; 0.90 (95% CI, 0.79-1.04; P = .15) for ANGPTL4; and 1.14 (95% CI, 1.00-1.31; P = .045) for VEGF. The odds ratios of having NPDR vs PDR (n = 426 vs 56) was 1.47 (95% CI, 1.03-2.10; P = .035) for serum ANGPTL3; 0.96 (95% CI, 0.69-1.35; P = .83) for ANGPTL4; and 1.05 (95% CI, 0.77-1.45; P = .74) for VEGF.CONCLUSIONS:
ANGPTL3 is independently and strongly associated with DR progression in all stages. Blockade of ANGPTL3 signal in retina might postpone the onset and development of DR in T2DM patients.
