The idea of experimental design. The gene expression profiles of LCLs extracted from the peripheral blood of 7 non-diabetic individuals and 8 patients with DR were cultured under SG and HG conditions respectively in the GSE146615 dataset. 232 autophagy-related genes were collected from The Human Autophagy Database. Then, 9 up-regulated genes and 14 down-regulated genes were screened by differential analysis. After enrichment analysis and PPI network construction, 10 hub genes were identified. Finally, qRT-PCR was used to verify in vitro DR model. LCLs, lymphoblastoid cell lines; DR, diabetic retinopathy; SG, standard glucose; HG, high glucose; PPI, protein-protein interaction; qRT-PCR, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction.
