Figure Lengend Snippet: HDGF promoted microglia activation and IL-1β secretion. A: Analysis of a published list of target genes of HDGF integrated with mouse retinal single-cell RNA sequencing data, indicating predominant target cell types. The violin plot shows expression of the target gene Itgb2 in microglia from control and streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic mouse retinas. The microglia cluster is indicated. B: Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay measuring IL-1β secretion in the supernatant of BV2 microglial cells. Cells were treated under low-glucose (LG, 1 g/L) or high-glucose (HG, 5 g/L) conditions for 48 h, with or without recombinant HDGF (rHDGF) and an HDGF-neutralizing antibody (anti-HDGF) ( n = 3). C: Quantitative PCR analysis of Itgb2 mRNA expression in BV2 cells treated as indicated ( n = 3). D: Representative immunofluorescence images (left) and quantification (right) of ITGB2-positive BV2 cells following the treatments. Nuclei were counterstained with DAPI.

Quantitative analysis of CD68-positive cells treated as indicated ( n = 3). F: Feature plot from retinal scRNA-seq data showing specific Itgb2 expression within the microglia cluster (outlined). G: Western blotting analysis of ITGB2 protein expression in BV2 microglial cells and primary Müller cells. α-Tubulin served as the loading control. Quantitative protein levels of ITGB2 in BV2 and Müller cells ( n = 3 per group). Data are presented as mean ± standard deviation. Statistical significance was determined by one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA; B–E) or paired Student's t -test (G). * P < 0.05; ** P < 0.01; *** P < 0.001.
