Diabetic retinopathy (DR) isacommon cause of blindness, its occurrence and development are the synergic results of multiple factors. Current studies suggest that inflammation and inflammatory factor has an important role in the pathogenesis of DR. The occurrence and development of DR are closely related with interleukins, intercellular adhesion molecules, hasten factors, tumor necrosis factor, C-reactive protein etc. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are pluripotent cells derived from the mesoderm and have multiple differentiation potentials, and anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive function. Recent studies shown that MSCs transplantation can protect damaged retina by inflammatory regulation, which becomeanew research direction for DR treatment.
