摘要

Abstract

The retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and choroid are located behind the human retina and have multiple functions in the human visual system. Knowledge of the RPE and choroid cells and their gene expression profiles are fundamental for understanding retinal disease mechanisms and therapeutic strategies. Here

we sequenced the RNA of about 0.3 million single cells from human RPE and choroids across two regions and seven ages

revealing regional and age differences within the human RPE and choroid. Cell–cell interactions highlight the broad connectivity networks between the RPE and different choroid cell types. Moreover

the transcription factors and their target genes change during aging. The coding of somatic variations increases during aging in the human RPE and choroid at the single-cell level. Moreover

we identified

ELN

as a candidate for improving RPE degeneration and choroidal structure during aging. The mapping of the molecular architecture of the human RPE and choroid improves our understanding of the human vision support system and offers potential insights into the intervention targets for retinal diseases.
