糖尿病视网膜病变发病机制及潜在治疗靶点研究最新进展

Latest research advances in pathogenesis and potential therapeutic targets of diabetic retinopathy

糖尿病(DM)的患病率在全球范围内不断增加,DM的高发促使糖尿病视网膜病变(DR)患者数量激增,DR目前已成为工作年龄人群视力损害和失明的主要原因。DR的进行性发展,涉及许多分子、生物化学机制,而且各种机制之间相互作用,共同影响着视网膜血管及细胞的内环境稳态。随着对DR发病机制的深入研究,越来越多的分子靶点被发现。通过研究DR的发病机制,从中寻找潜在的治疗靶点,对于DR的早期预防、治疗以及防止疾病进一步进展,具有重大临床意义。本文对近年来DR的发病机制及潜在治疗靶点的研究进展进行简要综述。

The prevalence of diabetes mellitus is increasing globally,which has contributed to a surge in diabetic retinopathy(DR)patients.DR has become the leading cause of visual impairment and blindness in the working-age population.The progressive development of DR involves many molecular and biochemical mechanisms,which interact with each other to affect the homeostasis of retinal blood vessels and cells.With the further study of the pathogenesis of DR,more and more molecular targets have been discovered.Studying the pathogenesis of DR and seeking potential therapeutic targets are of great clinical significance for the early prevention and treatment of DR and the prevention of its progression.In this paper,the latest developments in pathogenesis and potential therapeutic targets of DR are briefly reviewed.
