| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Concentration of Angptl2 in vitreous of patients with diabetic macular edema was increased compared to the control, and Angptl2 expression was found in inner limiting membrane of those patients. Moreover, IL-6, MCP-1 and ICAM-1 expression was decreased in streptozotocin-induced diabetic Angptl2 knockout mice compared to the control, and leukocyte adhesion to endothelial cells was suppressed in diabetic Angptl2 knockout mice. Those findings suggest that Angptl2 may play a role in pathological condition of diabetic retinopathy.
