From: Angiogenin, FGF-α, and IL-36β have higher expression levels in aqueous humor of nAMD patients in comparison to cataract patients

Aqueous humor cytokines concentrations in patients with cataract or nAMD. The nAMD patients received three consecutive monthly ranibizumab injections. Values represent mean ± SD of aqueous levels of cytokines concentrations in 20 cataract or 20 nAMD patients at baseline (M0), month 1 (M1), and month 2 (M2). Aqueous levels of angiogenin, FGF-α, and IL-36β in nAMD patients were significantly higher than in cataract patients, both before and after injections of ranibizumab. Aqueous VEGF-A and PlGF in nAMD patients were significantly reduced after two consecutive monthly ranibizumab injections. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001 vs. cataract group; #P < 0.05, ##P < 0.01, ###P < 0.001 vs. nAMD baseline group
