ABSTRACT
As a vision-threatening complication of diabetes mellitus (DM), proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) is associated with sustained metabolic disorders. Herein, we collected the vitreous cavity fluid of 49 patients with PDR and 23 control subjects without DM for metabolomics and lipidomics analyses. Multivariate statistical methods were performed to explore relationships between samples. For each group of metabolites, gene set variation analysis scores were generated, and we constructed a lipid network by using weighted gene co-expression network analysis. The association between lipid co-expression modules and metabolite set scores was investigated using the two-way orthogonal partial least squares (O2PLS) model. A total of 390 lipids and 314 metabolites were identified. Multivariate statistical analysis revealed significant vitreous metabolic and lipid differences between PDR and controls. Pathway analysis showed that 8 metabolic processes might be associated with the development of PDR, and 14 lipid species were found to be altered in PDR patients. Combining metabolomics and lipidomics, we identified fatty acid desaturase 2 (FADS2) as an important potential contributor to the pathogenesis of PDR. Collectively, this study integrates vitreous metabolomics and lipidomics to comprehensively unravel metabolic dysregulation and identifies genetic variants associated with altered lipid species in the mechanistic pathways for PDR.
