Thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy (TAO) is a thyroid function-related, organ-specific autoimmune disease that primarily leads to specific reactive changes and tissue remodeling in the periocular region. The exact pathogenesis of TAO remains unclear. High-throughput gene expression datasets related were comprehensively retrieved from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database, selecting GSE174139 GSE158464 for analysis. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between patients healthy controls identified, ferroptosis-related (FRGs) obtained FerrDb database. intersection DEGs FRGs yielded associated with TAO.The transcriptional was validated using real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) on orbital adipose samples controls. Single-cell sequencing six human further analyzed cellular subpopulations within microenvironment.Additionally, co-culture model CD163 + macrophages fibroblasts, along an vitro TGF-β1-induced fibroblast (OF) model, constructed validate role TGF-β1/SMAD2/3 axis ferroptosis regulation. Finally, potential clinical drugs targeting high activity predicted Random Walk Restart (RWR) algorithm combined DGIdb We first utilized TAO-related GEO identify iron metabolism during progression through differential analysis, screening 7 key proteins. In validation revealed all but AOPQ LGMN, which upregulated, exhibited downregulated expression.Single-cell connective 4 2 identified 16,364 cells spanning 18 cell types. Analysis proteins fibroblasts displayed elevated signaling progression. Subcluster analysis distinct subpopulations, C2 subpopulation-characterized by CCL18-exhibiting prominent activation signals.Further samples, confirmed aberrant pathway as regulator ferroptosis. Hub subpopulation marker genes, macrophages. This study, integrating single-cell RNA-Seq bulk transcriptome involvement tissue-infiltrating regulating therapeutic candidates macrophage TAO. Furthermore, experiments demonstrated promotes highlighting novel intervention.
