ABSTRACT
Retinal neovascularization is one of the leading causes of vision loss and a hallmark of proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR). The immune system is observed to be involved in the pathogenesis of diabetic retinopathy (DR). The specific immune cell type that contributes to retinal neovascularization can be identified via a bioinformatics analysis of RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) data, known as deconvolution analysis. Previous study has identified the infiltration of macrophages in the retina of rats with hypoxia-induced retinal neovascularization and patients with PDR through a deconvolution algorithm, known as CIBERSORTx. Here, we describe the protocols of using CIBERSORTx to perform the deconvolution analysis and downstream analysis of RNA-seq data.
