Transcriptomic analysis of membranes from proliferative vitreoretinal diseases and isolated human retinal pigment epithelium

This study investigates the transcriptomic profiles of proliferative vitreoretinal diseases (PVD) membranes, including proliferative vitreoretinopathy and epiretinal membranes collected from patients undergoing surgery, as well as human retinal pigment epithelial cells isolated from post-mortem donor eyes. Total RNA was extracted using AllPrep DNA/RNA Micro Kit (Qiagen) and cDNA libraries were prepared using the Ovation Solo RNA-seq Kit (Tecan). Multiplexed libraries were loaded onto a NovaSeq 6000 platform (Illumina), and sequences were generated using a 200-cycle kit. This study includes over 80 pathological and healthy samples to allow comparison of gene expression profiles and gain insights into the molecular mechanisms of PVD.

EGAD50000001780	This dataset contains RNA-seq data generated from surgical specimens of proliferative vitreoretinal diseases (including proliferative vitreoretinopathy and epiretinal membranes) and from retinal pigment epithelial cells isolated from post-mortem donor eyes. Total RNA was extracted and cDNA libraries were prepared using the Ovation Solo RNA-seq Kit (Tecan). Sequencing was performed on the Illumina NovaSeq 6000 platform. Raw FASTQ files are included to enable downstream analyses such as gene expression profiling.	Illumina NovaSeq 6000	83
