Introduction: Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a major complication of diabetes and a leading cause of visual loss. This study aimed to explore biomarkers for DR that may provide additional reference to DR pathogenesis and development.
Methods: The differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between the DR and control samples in the GSE53257 dataset were identified. Logistics analyses were performed to identify DR-associated miRNAs and genes, and correlation analysis was performed to determine the correlation between them in GSE160306.
Results: A total of 114 DEGs in DR were identified in GSE53257. Three genes, including ATP5A1 (down), DAUFV2 (down), and OXA1L (down), were differentially expressed between DR and control samples in GSE160306. Univariate logistics analysis identified that ATP5A1 (OR=0.007, p = 1.40E-02), NDUFV2 (OR = 0.003, p = 6.40E-03), and OXA1L (OR = 0.093, p = 3.08E-02) were DR-associated genes. ATP5A1 and OXA1L were regulated by multiple miRNAs, of which hsa-let- 7b-5p (OR = 26.071, p = 4.40E-03) and hsa-miR-31-5p (OR = 4.188, p = 5.09E-02) were related to DR. ATP5A1 and OXA1L were closely correlated with each other in DR.
Conclusion: The hsa-miR-31-5p-ATP5A1 and hsa-let-7b-5p-OXA1L axes might play novel and important roles in the pathogenesis and development of DR.

Neovascular age-related macular degeneration and diabetic macular edema are leading causes of vision-loss evoked by retinal neovascularization and vascular leakage. The glycoprotein microfibrillar-associated protein 4 (MFAP4) is an integrin αβ ligand present in the extracellular matrix. Single-cell transcriptomics reveal MFAP4 expression in cell-types in close proximity to vascular endothelial cells including choroidal vascular mural cells and retinal astrocytes and Müller cells.

Retinal vein occlusion (RVO) has become the second most common retinal vascular disease after diabetic retinopathy. Existing therapeutic approaches, including intravitreal injection of antivascular endothelial growth factors (anti-VEGFs) and/or glucocorticoids and laser therapy, primarily address secondary macular edema and neovascularisation. However, these strategies do not address the underlying cause of the disease and may have harmful side effects.

Background/objectives: The visual acuity (VA) outcomes after the first and second years of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) treatment in patients with diabetic macular oedema (DMO) were evaluated, and the factors associated with treatment success were investigated.
Methods: Using Medisoft electronic medical records (UK), this retrospective cohort study analysed VA outcomes, changes, and determinants in DMO patients at year 1 and year 2 after initial anti-VEGF injection. Descriptive analysis examined baseline demographics and clinical characteristics, while regression models were used to assess associations between these factors and changes in VA.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), a serious metabolic disorder, is a worldwide health problem due to the alarming rise in prevalence and elevated morbidity and mortality. Chronic hyperglycemia, insulin resistance, and ineffective insulin effect and secretion are hallmarks of T2DM, leading to many serious secondary complications. These include, in particular, cardiovascular disorders, diabetic neuropathy, nephropathy and retinopathy, diabetic foot, osteoporosis, liver damage, susceptibility to infections and some cancers.
