Based on disease severity, DR is classified into no clinically apparent diabetic retinopathy (NDR), non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR), and proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR). Although nearly all retinal cell types are involved in DR progression, the dominant cell populations and their pathophysiological changes at each stage remain unclear. By integrating bulk and single-cell transcriptomic data from human and mouse retinas, this study revealed the following: (1) In the NDR stage, photoreceptors exhibit significant changes in ribosomal pathways. (2) In the NPDR stage, endothelial cells and pericytes show marked transcriptional alterations, accompanied by enhanced LAMININ signaling in cell-cell communication. (3) At the PDR stage, neural and glial cells are extensively involved in disease progression, with notable changes in ANGPTL signaling. Additionally, this study observed DR-specific subtypes of endothelial cells and pericytes and potentially identifies gene signatures in macroglia cells that correlate with disease duration. The altered expression of several key genes in early diabetic retina was confirmed by qPCR. These findings may offer a comprehensive view of the cellular and molecular landscape underlying DR and may suggest potential targets.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms27062775","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,19]],"date-time":"2026-03-19T08:54:37Z","timestamp":1773910477000},"page":"2775","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Stage-Associated Cellular and Molecular Signatures in Diabetic Retinopathy Identified Through Integrated Bulk and Single-Cell Transcriptomic Analysis"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"27","author":[{"given":"Ying","family":"Li","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Zhongnan Hospital, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430071, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lian","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Zhongnan Hospital, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430071, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yuan","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Zhongnan Hospital, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430071, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8259-9683","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lingyi","family":"Ouyang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Zhongnan Hospital, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430071, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0584-4803","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xiaomin","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Zhongnan Hospital, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430071, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jingqiu","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Zhongnan Hospital, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430071, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Min","family":"Ke","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Zhongnan Hospital, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430071, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"124","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(09)62124-3","article-title":"Diabetic retinopathy","volume":"376","author":"Cheung","year":"2010","journal-title":"Lancet"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Bryl, A., Mrugacz, M., Falkowski, M., and Zorena, K.
