Angiopoietin-like protein (ANGPTL), a group of secreted glycoproteins, is widely expressed in vivo and is involved in many pathophysiological processes such as glycolipid metabolism, stem cell growth, local inflammation, vascular leakage and angiogenesis. Many kinds of ANGPTL are closely related to the occurrence and development of diabetic retinopathy (DR), especially ANGPTL4, which has gradually become a new hotspot in the field of DR Research. ANGPTL is involved in glucose metabolism and lipid metabolism, promotes increased vascular permeability, pathological angiogenesis, and participates in intraocular inflammation. ANGPTL is a promising molecular target. It can not only be used as a biomarker to predict the occurrence and progression of DR, but also provide new ideas for the treatment of DR by making antibody drugs to interfere with this molecule.
