Objective To observe the effect of interleukin-8 (IL-8) on the adhesion and migration of retinal vascular endothelial cells (RCEC). Methods A cell experiment. Human RCEC (hRCEC) was divided into normal control group (N group), advanced glycation end product (AGE) treatment group (AGE group), and AGE-induced combined IL-8 antagonist SB225002 treatment group (AGE+SB group). The effect of AGE on IL-8 expression in hRCEC was observed by Western blot. The effect of SB225002 on hRCEC migration was observed by cell scratch assay. The effects of SB225002 on leukocyte adhesion and reactive oxygen species (ROS) on hRCEC were detected by flow cytometry. Student-t test was performed between the two groups. One-way analysis of variance was performed among the three groups. Results Compared with group N, the expression level of IL-8 in cells of AGE group was significantly increased, with statistical significance (t=25.661, P<0.001). Compared with N group and AGE+SB group, cell mobility in AGE group was significantly increased (F=29.776), leukocyte adhesion number was significantly increased (F=38.159, 38.556), ROS expression level was significantly increased (F=22.336), and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion IL-8 antagonist SB225002 may down-regulate hRCEC adhesion and migration by inhibiting ROS expression.
