This study aimed to establish a high-fat diet (HFD)-induced rat model of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and employed tandem mass tag (TMT) proteomics search for novel interventional targets nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR). Six-week-old male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into T2DM group fed HFD normal (NOR group) chow. After 6 w, the was confirmed have impaired glucose tolerance intraperitoneally injected with single small dose streptozotocin (STZ, 30 mg/kg), blood levels monitored. The maintained another an Evans blue assay dark-adapted electroretinogram (ERG) conducted. Rat retinas collected morphology analysis, TMT Western blotting. expression patterns selected differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) validated in via blotting aqueous humor from NPDR patients slot 12-w STZ injection, presented typical symptoms T2DM. pathological features NPDR, including compromised scotopic ERGs, thinning retinal layers, increased apoptosis vascular leakage retina. Proteomic analysis identified DEPs revealed profound dyslipidemia retinas. significant upregulation FABP3, TINAGL1, COL4A3 by In HFD-induced that is consistent natural history bioinformatics analyses as 3 key upregulated first time. These findings are supported technical clinical validations provide intervention.
