The role of retinal glial cells and related factors in macular edema

Copyright © 2023 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved..

Macular edema (ME) has emerged as a leading cause of visual impairment, representing a critical clinical manifestation and complication associated with many eye diseases. In the occurrence and development of ME, retinal glial cells like Müller cells and microglial cells play vital roles. Moreover, growth factor and cytokines associated with them, such as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF), hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α), angiopoietin-like protein 4 (ANGPTL4), interleukin-6(IL-6), interleukin-8 (IL-8), monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), prostaglandin, etc., also take part in the pathogenesis of ME. Changes in these cytokines can lead to retinal angiogenesis, increased vascular permeability, blood-retinal barrier (BRB) breakdown, and fluid leakage, further causing ME to occur or deteriorate. Research on the role of retinal glial cells and related cytokines in ME will provide new therapeutic directions and effective remedies. This article is a literature review on the role of Müller cells, microglial cells and related factors in ME pathogenesis.
