Using RNA-seq on RPE/Choroid from a two-stage laser-induced subretinal fibrosis mouse model, we identified a novel core ocular fibrosis signature of 88 persistently upregulated genes across acute-to-chronic phases (days 3–10 post-injury). This signature, enriched in epithelial-mesenchymal transition, complement activation, and inflammatory pathways, showed choroid-specific expression with minimal retinal involvement. Cross-validation in independent chronic mouse data and multiple human AMD datasets (peripheral retina, surgically extracted CNV membranes, and macular RPE/choroid) confirmed progressive enrichment in advanced disease stages. Immunofluorescence in human fibrotic tissue validated key genes (Tenascin C, Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinases-1, and Apelin receptor) with co-localization to myofibroblast-like cells and microglia. This persistent, cross-species-validated signature potentially highlights conserved fibrogenic drivers and offers a translational tool for biomarker development and targeted antifibrotic therapies in nAMD.</description><dates><publication>2026/08/26</publication></dates><accession>GSE327158</accession><cross_references><GSM>GSM9650132</GSM><GSM>GSM9650121</GSM><GSM>GSM9650120</GSM><GSM>GSM9650131</GSM><GSM>GSM9650130</GSM><GSM>GSM9650136</GSM><GSM>GSM9650125</GSM><GSM>GSM9650114</GSM><GSM>GSM9650135</GSM><GSM>GSM9650124</GSM><GSM>GSM9650113</GSM><GSM>GSM9650123</GSM><GSM>GSM9650134</GSM><GSM>GSM9650133</GSM><GSM>GSM9650122</GSM><GSM>GSM9650129</GSM><GSM>GSM9650118</GSM><GSM>GSM9650128</GSM><GSM>GSM9650117</GSM><GSM>GSM9650127</GSM><GSM>GSM9650116</GSM><GSM>GSM9650126</GSM><GSM>GSM9650115</GSM><GSM>GSM9650119</GSM><GPL>30172</GPL><GSE>327158</GSE><taxon>Mus musculus</taxon><PMID>[42615798]</PMID></cross_references></HashMap>
