Core Tip This study identifies PRDX2 as a potential biomarker and mechanistic contributor in diabetic retinopathy (DR). PRDX2 was upregulated in both patient plasma and ocular tissues, with plasma levels showing a positive correlation with disease severity and serving as a significant predictor of proliferative DR. In vitro, PRDX2 silencing mitigated high-glucose-induced reactive hyperplasia in rat Müller cells. This effect was mediated by upregulation of RhoGDI1 and suppression of the downstream RhoA/ROCK signaling pathway. Targeting the PRDX2-RhoGDI1-RhoA axis may offer a novel therapeutic approach for alleviating neuroglial dysfunction in DR pathogenesis.
