Human hepatocyte GF (hHGF) has strong neoangiogenesis activity. The present study was designed to investigate the possible involvement of hHGF in neovascularization in proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) by measuring vitreous hHGF concentrations. The mean vitreous hHGF concentration was higher in subjects with PDR (5.70 ± 0.68 ng/mL, n = 33) than in nondiabetic control subjects (1.50 ± 0.20 ng/mL, n = 18, P < 0.01), nondiabetic subjects with proliferative vitreoretinopathy (3.31 ± 0.57 ng//mL, n = 10, P < 0.05), or diabetic subjects without PDR (1.29 ± 0.28 ng/mL, n = 8, P < 0.01). PDR subjects with neovascularization of iris, which suggests advanced retinal ischemia, showed a higher mean vitreous hHGF concentration than those without iridal neovascularization [7.33 ± 1.16 ng/mL (n = 14) vs. 4.49 ± 0.72 ng/mL (n = 19), P < 0.05]. The mean vitreous hHGF concentration was higher in PDR subjects with retinal neovascularization at the optic disc than in those with neovascularization elsewhere [7.3 ± 1.1 ng/mL (n = 15) vs. 4.4 ± 0.7 ng/mL (n = 18), P < 0.05]. Our results indicate that vitreous hHGF may play a role in retinal neovascularization in PDR.

We report a case of peripheral retinal neovascularization and vitreous hemorrhage in the setting of HIV retinopathy that can serve to extend the clinical spectrum of this condition. A 53-year-old African-American woman with AIDS was referred for decreased vision in the left eye and was found to have peripheral retinal neovascularization and vitreous hemorrhage. She had a workup that was negative for etiologies of retinal ischemia. Peripheral laser photocoagulation was used to treat areas of nonperfusion. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of peripheral retinal neovascularization and vitreous hemorrhage in the setting of HIV retinopathy, and it can serve to extend the clinical spectrum of this condition.

Retinal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injuries are involved in the universal pathological processes of many ophthalmic diseases, including glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, and retinal arterial occlusion.
