Association between aqueous humor cytokines and postoperative corneal endothelial cell loss after Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty.

| description | This study measured the intraoperative anterior aqueous humor concentrations of various cytokines during corneal endothelial transplantation and searched for relationships between these concentrations and postoperative corneal endothelial cell (CEC) depletion. We recruited 30 consecutive patients who underwent corneal endothelial transplantation with Descemet's stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK) at Tohoku University Hospital between February 2014 and July 2017. During surgery, we obtained aqueous humor samples and later measured the concentrations of 27 cytokines with a Multiplex Bead Assay (Bio-Plex Pro). We counted CECs 1, 6 and 12 months after surgery, and used Spearman's rank correlation coefficient to identify relationships between CEC depletion and the concentrations of detected cytokines. The loss of CECs 1-6 months after surgery was significantly correlated with IL-7, IP-10, MIP-1a and MIP-1b concentrations (-0.67, -0.48, -0.39, and -0.45, respectively, all P <0.01). CEC loss 1-12 months after surgery was significantly correlated with IL-1b, IL-7, IP-10 and RANTES concentrations (-0.46, -0.52, -0.48, and -0.43, respectively). Multiple regression analysis showed that IL-7 concentration was significantly associated with CEC loss 1-6 months after surgery (b = -0.65, P < 0.01) and IP-10 concentration was associated with CEC loss 1-12 months after surgery (β = -0.38, P < 0.05). These results suggest that not only inflammatory cytokines but also IL-7, a cytokine related to lymphocytes, may be involved in the depletion of CECs after DSAEK, particularly depletion that occurs relatively early. |
