ABSTRACT
Diabetic retinopathy, as a form of microangiopathy, is characterized by loss of pericytes and of endothelial cells, which causes alteration of the permeability of the retinal capillaries. The growth factor of the vascular endothelium directly stimulates the development of the internal and external vasculature of the eye, and additionally acts as a vascular permeability factor. In general, under natural conditions, there is a balance of promoting and inhibitory cells of angiogenesis. However, if these conditions are changed -as it happens during the hypoxia or inflammation episodes- this balance breaks and this tips the balance in favor of the formation of abnormal vessels that spread over and bleed into the vitreous, an event that may cause the retinal detachment and the resulting loss of vision. Some antiangiogenic drugs have been developed to reduce the expression of the vascular endothelium growth factor and of the connective tissue growth factor in the retinal epithelium cells under oxidative stress. Advances have also been made in the development of other antiangiogenic drugs of high effectiveness when they are used alone or combined with laser photocoagulation and surgery, but they are very expensive, available only in highly specialized centers and with intravitreal administration. Nowadays, it is known that hyphophysial hormone called prolactin can prevent the progress and encourage the regression of diabetic retinopathy through its proteolytic conversion to vasoinhibins, particularly, the lowest molecular weight fraction (16 kDa-prolactin). This fraction has an important antiangiogenic action since it blocks the stimulation of angiogenesis induced by several factors such as the vascular endothelium growth factor and the fibroblastic growth factor in the proliferation of the endothelial cells, all of which brings the possibilities of new drugs for the treatment of proliferative retinopathy. These are the aspects addressed in the present review.
