Single-cell RNA Sequencing of rats in early diabetic retinopathy


ABSTRACT: In diabetic retinopathy (DR), a blinding disease, retinal microglia-induced inflammatory responses precede microangiopathy. However, the binary concept of microglial M1/M2 polarization paradigms during inflammatory activation has been debated. In this study, we confirmed microglia had the most significant changes in early DR using single-cell RNA sequencing. Besides, at cellular level three new microglial subtypes were defined, including two M1 types (Egr2+ M1 and Egr2- M1) and one M2 type. We also revealed the anatomical locations, different activation orders, mutual activation regulation mechanisms and dynamic changes in polarization phenotypes between these subtypes. Furthermore, we constructed an inflammatory network involving microglia, blood-derived macrophages and other retinal nonneuronal cells. The targeted study of new disease-specific microglial subtypes can shorten the time for drug screening and clinical application, which provided insight for the early control and reversal of DR.
