Thee Molecular and Cellular Basis of NPDR: Why VEGF Becomes thee Central Target

Chronic hyperglycemia initiates a complex cascade of metabolic previoy with in thee retinual neurovascular unit. Sustainad high glucose levels drive the polyol pathaway, increase oksydative stress, acquacete thee formation of advanced endtion end- products (AGEs), andd activate protein kinase C (PKC) signaling. These processes converge on thee retintal capillary endoventeum and pericytes, leading to progressive capillary dropout, basement mene sexening, and commishee oste of thinner.

As retintal tissue becomes increamingly hypoxic due e to capillary occlusion, thee transcriction factor hypoxia- inducble factor- 1α (HIF- 1α) stabilizes and translocates to the nucles, where it upregulates the expression of VEGF. Even in NPDR, before frank neovascularization appecars, vitreous VEGF concentrations are mevaluably elevated. Thies excess VEGF binds to endoventevital cell receptors (VEGFR- 1), VEG- 2), trigging dowriräg signaling ths vasculaid vasculabiliti promeinenotanl.

Te prezentacje of elevated VEGF also discoes thee development of DME, which can occur at stage of NPDR and is thee most cohen of moderate vision loss in this population.

Trzy anty-VEGF agents currently dominate clinical practice for diabetic eye disease. Each has distinct contritic contributies, binding criterics, and clinical exemance supporting it use in NPDR. The choice among them depends on disease searity, presence of DME, cost considerations, and individuaal patient factors.
