    Abstract: Although inflammatory cytokines and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) have been proposed to underlie the progression of diabetic retinopathy (DR) , there remains an important need to identify biomarkers for early stages of DR. Findings from the Joslin Medalist Study, composed of individuals who have had insulin-dependent diabetes for 50 years or longer, showed that Retinol Binding Protein 3 (RBP3) was significantly higher both in retina and vitreous samples with no to mild DR compared to those with proliferative DR (PDR) . In this study, we examined vitreous and plasma samples from 2people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes from the Joslin Beetham Eye Institute and Medalist Study to evaluate the relationship between vitreous RBP3, inflammatory cytokines, and DR severity and progression. PDR was associated with lower levels of IL- (P=0.007) , IFN-γ (P=0.001) , and higher levels of IL-15 (P=0.01) and IL-6 (P=0.02) in vitreous. Vitreous VEGF was positively associated with increasing DR severity in surgical samples (P & lt;0.05) . Plasma VEGF was not associated with vitreous VEGF concentration. No significant relationships were found between inflammatory markers in the vitreous and plasma from the same individual. Increased vitreous RBP3 concentration was associated with less severe DR in all eyes (P & lt;0.0001) , post-mortem (P & lt;0.0001) and surgical samples from type 1 and type 2 diabetic patients (P=0.03) with diabetes duration of & lt;50 years (mean±SD 27±13 years) . Higher vitreous RBP3 concentration was associated with lower risk of PDR onset (P & lt;0.0001) . Lower vitreous TNF-α, TNF-β, and VEGF were associated with increased vitreous RBP3 concentration (P & lt;0.05, all) . These findings suggest that inflammatory cytokines and risk of DR worsening may be decreased by RBP3, supporting its potential use as biomarker for severity and progression of DR.

    Abstract: The risk of cognitive dysfunction in aging populations with type 1 diabetes (T1D) may be similar to that of people with type 2 diabetes, but it has not been well-characterized clinically. In the Joslin Medalist Study, a cohort of people with ≥ 50 years of T1D, cognitive dysfunction was previously shown to correlate with cardiovascular disease (CVD) and proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR). In a Medalist subset (n=129), we extended these findings by assessing the relationships of cognitive changes and other complications with vascular abnormalities in the retina, a developmental extension of the central nervous system. Medalists were evaluated with validated cognitive tests to assess psychomotor speed (PS), immediate memory (IM), delayed memory (DM), working memory (WM), and executive function (EF). Retinal optical coherence tomography (OCT) and OCT angiography were performed to obtain neural retinal layer thickness and vascular density for the superficial (SCP) and deep (DCP) retinal capillary plexuses. CVD and PDR were associated with worse IM (p=0.03) and decline in PS (p=0.01), respectively, adjusting for age, A1c, BMI, triglycerides and hypertension. Thinning of the retinal outer nuclear layer (ONL) was associated with PDR (p=0.04), CVD (p=0.02), worse IM (p=0.05) and PS (p=0.01), adjusted for sex, diabetes duration, PDR and visual acuity. CVD, PDR and DM severity were associated with decreased DCP density (p=0.04, p=0.0004, and p=0.002, respectively). Decreased density of the SCP was associated with worse dominant hand PS (p=0.01), adjusted for PDR, T1D duration, and visual acuity. In summary, cognitive decline in people with long duration of T1D is associated with PDR and CVD, which is supported by shared specific retinal vascular imaging abnormalities, suggesting a potential common pathogenesis underlying these complications in T1D.

    Abstract: The Joslin Medalist Study, which characterizes people with type 1 diabetes duration of 50 years or more, reported that the levels of Retinol Binding Protein 3 (RBP3) are increased in the retina and vitreous of Medalists who are protected from the development of severe diabetic retinopathy (DR). This protective capacity of RBP3 is potentially mediated by its ability to delay the uptake of glucose into the cells of the retinal vasculature and neural retina in hyperglycemia. This study correlated the relationship between DR severity and neural retinal layer thickness with vitreous and serum RBP3 levels in a broad population of people with diabetes. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) was performed to obtain neural retinal layer thicknesses and structure. Specific ELISA assays were developed to measure vitreous and serum RBP3 concentrations in individuals with type 1 and type 2 diabetes recruited from the Joslin Beetham Eye Institute, Medalist Study, and the FinnDiane study. Vitreous RBP3 concentration was associated with DR severity (p & lt;0.05), diabetes duration (p=0.02), age (p=0.01), and HDL (p & lt;0.05) in the Medalists (n=68), individuals with shorter duration of type 1 and type 2 diabetes (mean±SD 28±14 years, n=24), and nondiabetic controls (n=20). OCT showed that thinning of the inner nuclear layer, outer nuclear layer, and the photoreceptor layer was associated with decreased vitreous RBP3 concentration (all p & lt;0.0001). Serum RBP3 concentrations were more than 1000-fold less than those in vitreous, but correlated positively with vitreous RBP3 concentration (p & lt;0.05). The presence of laser photocoagulation was associated with decreased serum RBP3 concentration (p=0.005). Repeated testing at 5 years showed that baseline and 5 year RBP3 serum concentrations were correlated in the Medalist Study (r=0.64, p=0.003) and the FinnDiane Study (r=0.77). These findings suggest that measurement of RBP3 systemically may be potentially useful in the clinical screening of DR. Disclosure W. Fickweiler: None. K. Park: None. E. Wolfson: None. H. Park: None.

    Abstract: Retinol Binding Protein 3 (RBP3), a retinol transport protein secreted mainly by photoreceptors, may inhibit progression of diabetic retinopathy (DR) by decreasing glucose uptake and inflammation in the retina. In people with type 1 diabetes with duration of ≥50yrs (Joslin Medalist Study), & gt;40% of Medalists exhibited no to mild non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR) and increased expression of RBP3 compared to those with severe DR. We examined 213 vitreous samples from a larger population of Medalists and patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes with shorter diabetes duration (mean±SD 26.5±12.7 years) from the Joslin Beetham Eye Institute to determine whether vitreous RBP3 levels are correlated with DR severity and progression in a broad population with diabetes. RBP3 was increased in vitreous from people with no diabetes compared to subjects with type 1 and type 2 diabetes (p & lt;0.0001). Type of diabetes (type 1 vs. type 2, p=0.44) and A1c (p=0.68) were not associated with RBP3. In patients with both type 1 and 2 diabetes, vitreous RBP3 levels gradually decreased from the highest concentration in no to mild NPDR (15.7 nM) to the lowest concentrations in advanced DR (moderate-severe: 8.2 nM, p=0.01 vs. no-mild NPDR; active proliferative DR: 8.4 nM, p=0.0003 vs. no-mild NPDR; quiescent proliferative DR: 3.5 nM, p & lt;0.0001 vs. no-mild NPDR). RBP3 was higher in moderate-severe NPDR compared to quiescent PDR (p=0.03). RBP3 concentrations in surgical samples from living donors were lower than those from post-mortem Medalists (p & lt;0.01), but were associated with DR severity in both groups (p=0.03 and p & lt;0.0001, respectively). Increased RBP3 concentrations were associated with reduced risk of PDR development over time (n=34, p & lt;0.001). These findings indicate that elevated vitreous RBP3 is associated with decreased DR severity and decreased risk of PDR development, supporting the postulate that RBP3 is a protective factor and therapeutic target for the progression of DR.

    Abstract: Early identification of patients who are more likely to respond to anti-VEGF therapy for diabetic macular edema (DME) would improve patient management and allow for more rapid assessment of new therapeutic targets. This study evaluated retinal thickness variables and their association with anti-VEGF therapy response in patients with DME. We identified patients at the Joslin Diabetes Center who received their first anti-VEGF injection for DME between 1/2016-12/20 and assessed mean change in visual acuity (VA) and central retinal thickness (RT) at 6 mos. A good VA or RT response to anti-VEGF therapy was defined using thresholds of letter and retinal thickness change as follows: eyes with baseline VA of ≥20/32, ≥5 letters; 20/40-20/70, ≥letters; ≤20/80, ≥15 letters and eyes with baseline RT of & lt;375µm, & gt;10%; 375-449µm, & gt;20%; & gt;449µm, & gt;25%. A total of 151 eyes from 126 patients fell into the following responder groups: both VA and RT response (32.5%) , only VA response (21.9%) or RT response (11.3%) , and neither VA nor RT response (34.4%) , with 57.0% of all eyes exhibiting VA response and 43.7% exhibiting RT response. While diabetes duration, A1c, and blood pressure were not associated with responder group, decreased baseline thickness of the outer retinal layer (ORL) was more likely to be present in eyes with neither VA nor RT response (β=-.018; 95% CI -0.03 to -0.01; P=.006) . Improvement in mean VA was associated with younger age (β=.004; 95% CI 0.001-0.007; P=.01) . Decreased baseline ORL thickness (β=-.003; 95% CI -0.0to -0.001; P=.01) and increased baseline inner retinal layer (IRL) thickness (β=.0004; 95% CI 0.0001-0.0007; P=.02) were associated with less VA gain at 6 mos. These findings suggest that decreased baseline ORL thickness is associated with less favorable outcome after anti-VEGF therapy and may be a potential biomarker for treatment response in patients with DME.

    Abstract: The Joslin Medalist Study identified Retinol-binding protein 3 (RBP3) as a potential protective factor against diabetic retinopathy (DR) in the vitreous and retina of individuals with type 1 diabetes for 50 years or longer. This study evaluated the association of aqueous RBP3 concentration to vitreous RBP3 concentrations and DR severity. We measured 131 aqueous samples from patients with type 1 and 2 diabetes undergoing cataract surgery at the Joslin Beetham Eye Institute (BEI) and postmortem samples of Medalists. Aqueous RBP3 concentrations in BEI and Medalists samples were similar for eyes with proliferative DR (PDR, P=0.11) and were well correlated between fellow eyes (r=0.65, P & lt;0.0001) . With an average 12-fold decreased concentration compared to vitreous samples, RBP3 concentrations in aqueous and vitreous samples were correlated within the same individual (r=0.32, P=0.003, N=89) . Aqueous RBP3 was not associated with A1c (P=0.60) , however, RBP3 concentration was inversely associated with the presence of pan-retinal laser photocoagulation scars (β estimate −22.0, 95% CI −31.9;−12.0, P & lt;0.0001) . With increasing DR severity, aqueous RBP3 levels decreased from mild DR (median 0.7nM ± 0.2) , moderate-severe (0.65nM ± 0.3, P=0.0092 vs. PDR) , to PDR (0.5nM ± 0.2, P=0.0vs. mild DR) . Individual retinal layer thicknesses measured by optical coherence tomography (Heidelberg v6.0c, Germany, N=45) showed that higher aqueous concentrations were associated with increased thickness of the ganglion cell layer (β estimate 0.002, 95% CI 0.0019;0.0023, P & lt;0.0001) and inner nuclear layer (0.0026, 0.0025;0.0028, P & lt;0.0001) . The retinal pigment epithelium was inversely associated with aqueous RBP3 levels (−0.001, −0.0017;0.0003, P=0.004) . These findings indicate that aqueous RBP3 concentrations are correlated to vitreous fluids and reduced in people with advanced DR, supporting its potential use as a biomarker for DR severity in people with type 1 and 2 diabetes.

    Abstract: Vision-threatening DR (vtDR) is commonly defined as moderate nonproliferative or more severe DR, or the presence of diabetic macular edema (DME). Modifiable risk factors of DR and vtDR are well-established in adults. This study identified risk factors associated with DR and vtDR in a large pediatric cohort with T1D. Medical chart review was performed of baseline visits of pediatric (≤21 yrs old) patients at an academic eye center from 2005-2020 to collect demographic characteristics, medical history and DR severity. Analyses were adjusted for correlation between eyes of the same person. In total, 1735 subjects (3454 eyes) were included with mean±SD age 15.4±4.6 years, T1D duration 7.1±5.3 years, T1D onset 8.3±5.4 years, and A1c 8.4±1.3; 50.7% were female, 30.7% were overweight/obese and 4.1% had elevated/high BP. Any DR was present in 8.5% and vtDR in 2.4% of eyes. Unadjusted analyses found DR presence associated with higher A1c (p & lt;.0001), longer T1D duration (p & lt;.0001), younger age of T1D onset (p=0.0002), older age (p & lt;.0001), female sex (p=0.001), higher BMI (p & lt;.0001) and elevated/high BP (p & lt;.0001). After backwards elimination modeling, older age (p & lt;.0001), longer T1D duration (p=0.002) and higher A1c (p=0.01) were significantly associated with DR. In unadjusted analyses, vtDR was associated with higher A1c (p & lt;.0001), longer T1D duration (p & lt;.0001), younger age of T1D onset (p=0.001), older age (p & lt;.0001), female sex (p=0.009), higher BMI (p=0.009) and elevated/high BP (p & lt;.0001). Using backwards elimination modeling, older age (p & lt;.0001), younger age of T1D onset (p & lt;.0001) and elevated/high BP (p=0.0007) were significantly related to vtDR. In this pediatric cohort, DR or vtDR were present in 8.5% of eyes and were associated with modifiable risk factors of hyperglycemia and elevated BP. Future longitudinal studies can assess if early intervention to improve glycemic control and BP can reduce vtDR in youth with T1D. Disclosure C. Jacoba: None. K. Sampani: None. C. Gilbert: None. P.

    Abstract: Although diabetic retinopathy (DR) and age-related macular degeneration (AMD) are the two most common sight-threatening conditions in the elderly population, our understanding of the associated risks for these diseases have not been studied. Thus, we examined the association between AMD and DR in people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes from the Joslin 50-Year Medalist Study, composed of individuals who have had insulin-dependent diabetes for 50 years or longer and Beetham Eye Institute. In Medalists, there was an inverse association between DR severity and the presence of AMD (N=1163, P= & lt;0.0001, AMD: 23.4%, 18.6, 7.9% for no-mild, moderate-severe, and proliferative DR, respectively). Similarly, the presence of AMD was associated with milder DR in the BEI cohort (N=58, P=0.004). There were no eyes with neovascular (severe AMD). The presence of AMD was associated with older age (P=0.03), increased diabetes duration (P & lt;0.0001), less severe DR (P & lt;0.0001), and the absence of neuropathy (P=0.003). In contrast, younger age (P=0.02) and the presence of neuropathy (P & lt;0.0001) were associated with the presence of proliferative DR. Higher vitreous retinol-binding protein 3 (RBP3) to vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) ratios were associated with AMD and less severe DR in both postmortem Medalist and surgical BEI samples (N=187, P & lt;0.05, all). The presence of milder DR was associated with increased risk of AMD development (24.8%, 10.0%, 5.0% for no-mild, moderate-severe, and proliferative DR, respectively, P=0.047), and risk of DR progression was decreased in eyes with versus without AMD (P=0.04) in a subset of Medalists with longitudinal follow up (22.9%). These novel findings that the inverse risk of DR and AMD is not likely due to similar pathogenic mechanisms and ageing factors. Further studies are needed to clarify the interactions between AMD and DR, that may provide new pathways to target against their development. Disclosure W.Fickweiler: None.
