Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor in patients with age-related cataract

Purpose. To study the content of glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) in the aqueous humor (AH), lacrimal fluid (LF), and blood serum (BS) in patients with age-related cataract. Material and methods. The content of GDNF in the LF, AH and BS was studied in 47 patients (47 eyes) with age...

description Purpose. To study the content of glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) in the aqueous humor (AH), lacrimal fluid (LF), and blood serum (BS) in patients with age-related cataract. Material and methods. The content of GDNF in the LF, AH and BS was studied in 47 patients (47 eyes) with age-related cataract. Collection of stimulated LF was performed with a pipette on the day preceding surgery; the AH and BS were sampled during the phacoemulsification of a cataract. The concentration of GDNF was measured using an enzyme immunoassay. Results. The concentration of GDNF in the AH was 88.9±46.9 (2.0–212.5) pg/ml, in the BS – 201.1±44.6 (103.2–287.2) pg/ml, in the LF – 343.6±133.7 (172.8–683.0) pg/ml. The levels of GDNF in the studied biological fluids did not show any significant correlations with each other. Conclusion. In patients with age-related cataract, the level of GDNF in the AH was relatively low: the concentration of GDNF in the AH was more than 2 times lower than in the BS and almost 4 times lower than in the LF. No significant correlations were found between the concentrations of GDNF in LF, AH and BS.
