International Eye Science 2024;24(6):857-863
AIM: To identify immune-related key genes and the extent of immune cell infiltration in a oxygen-induced retinopathy(OIR)model by bioinformatics method.METHODS: Microarray data were obtained from the GEO database, differentially expressed genes(DEGs)were identified using the “limma” R package, GO function enrichment and KEGG pathway analysis were conducted, and immune cell infiltration based on the CIBERSORT algorithm was analyzed. Weighted gene co-expression network analysis(WGCNA)was used to screen DEGs in the immune-related gene module, constructing a protein-protein interaction(PPI)network using STRING online database and Cytoscape software, and further screening final target genes using the cytoHubba plug-in.RESULTS: A total of 467 DEGs were screened, including 270 up-regulated and 197 down-regulated genes. Helper T cell 2(Th2 cells), an immune cell type, exhibited significantly high expression levels(P<0.05). WGCNA analysis identified 66 differential genes in modules most closely related to immunity. After constructing the PPI network, 5 key genes were screened through plug-ins: von Willebrand factor(vWF), vascular endothelial growth factor A(VEGF-A), Serping1, apoptosis inducing factor 1(AIF1)and signal transducers and activators of transcription 3(STAT3).CONCLUSION: The findings of this study provide valuable insights into immune cell infiltration in OIR as well as key genes related to immunity through bioinformatics analysis, which can serve as a reference for further research and treatment of retinal neovascular diseases.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of triamcinolone acetonide peribulbar injection combined with vitrectomy for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment associated with choroidal detachment (RRD-CD).Methods:This study was a retrospective case series study. Nineteen cases (19 eyes) with RRD-CD who had undergone pars plana vitrectomy at the Dalian No.3 People′s Hospital were analyzed. All the cases received 20 mg triamcinolone acetonide peribulbar injection within 3 to 7 days before surgery. The severity of patient′s uveitis was assessed before and after peribulbar injection of triamcinolone acetonide. Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and intra ocular pressure (IOP) before and after surgery, the area of retinal detachment, the rate of retinal reattachment, the rate of recurrent retinal detachment and surgical complications were analyzed. Patients′ blood pressure and blood glucose levels were also monitored.Results:19 patients were followed up for (13.1±1.5)months. The severity of uveitis reduced to different extents compared with preoperative condition. The IOP was (8.73±3.38)mmHg before injection and (10.95±2.46)mmHg after injection, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=-7.571, P=0.027). The choroid detachment range was 4-12(9.37±2.69)sites before injection, and 0-11(4.63±4.10)sites after injection, and the difference was statistically significant ( Z=-3.834, P=0.001). Compared with the preoperative results, the BCVA increased in 12 patients, unchanged in 5 cases and decreased in 2 cases. In the final follow-up of 18 patients with retinal reattachment, 17 eyes underwent a single operation, 2 eyes had recurrent retinal detachment, and 1 eye had retinal reattachment after a second operation. There were no significant difference in blood glucose and blood pressure before and after injection (all P>0.05). There were no other complications besides temporarily elevated IOP and cataract. Conclusions:Vitrectomy combined with triamcinolone acetonide peribulbar injection is effective and safe for patients with RRD-CD.
