The concentrations of 13 complement proteins and vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A) were measured using Luminex® × MAP® technology.Results: During ranibizumab treatment, a reduction in the levels of C1q (p < 0.001), C2 (p = 0.030), C4 (p = 0.001), C4b (p = 0.026), C3b/iC3b (p < 0.001), C5 (p = 0.007), C5a (p = 0.005), CFD (p = 0.022), CFH (p < 0.001), and CFI (p < 0.001) in AH was observed. No significant changes were observed in the plasma levels of all measured factors. At baseline, CRVO had higher levels of C4 (p = 0.003), C4b (p < 0.001), C3b/iC3b (p < 0.001), C5 (p = 0.020), C5a (p = 0.007), CFD (p = 0.002), CFH (p < 0.001), and CFI (p < 0.001) in AH compared to BRVO.Conclusion: Ranibizumab treatment reduced the intraocular but not circulating activation of classical and alternative complement pathways in RVO patients. Differences in intraocular complement proteins were observed between BRVO and CRVO patients, which may reflect different pathogenesis.Keywords: retinal vein occlusion, complement protein, aqueous humor, plasma |
