| Core Tip |
This integrated multi-omics study identified nine diabetic neuropathy (DN)-associated plasma proteins, validated across independent datasets. BTN3A1 and MICB emerged as top-tier therapeutic targets, robustly confirmed via Mendelian randomization (MR), summary-data-based MR, and colocalization analyses. Functional enrichment links these proteins to inflammation and neuronal injury. Crucially, cyclosporine A was predicted as a potential repurposed drug candidate targeting MICB. Furthermore, two-step network MR revealed MICB mediates DN risk specifically through human leukocyte antigen-DR++ monocyte abundance, providing a novel mechanistic immune pathway. This work unveils BTN3A1 and MICB as promising targets and elucidates MICB’s immune-mediated role in DN pathogenesis. |
