The specific changes linked to de novo development of postoperative PVR have remained elusive and were the object of the underlying study. Vitreous fluid (VF) was obtained at the beginning of vitrectomy from 65 eyes that underwent vitrectomy for primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) without preoperative PVR. Eyes developing postoperative PVR within 6 months after re-attachment surgery were compared to those which did not regarding the preoperative concentrations of 43 cytokines and chemokines in the VF, using multiplex beads analysis. For all comparisons Holm's correction was applied in order to control for multiple comparisons. Twelve out of 65 eyes (18.5%) developed PVR postoperatively. While 12 of the chemokines and cytokines presented concentration differences on a statistical level of p < 0.05 (CXCL5, CCL11, CCL24, CCL26, GM-CSF, IFN-γ, CCL8, CCL7, MIF, MIG/CXCL9, CCL19, and CCL25), CXCL5 was the only cytokine with sufficiently robust difference in its VF concentrations to achieve significance in eyes developing postoperative PVR compared to eyes without PVR. CXCL5 may represent a potent biomarker for the de novo development of postoperative PVR. In line with its pathophysiological role in the development of PVR, it might serve as a basis for the development of urgently needed preventive options.
