Compared with the DR group, the average optical density of GSDMD in the SCU treatment group showed a decreasing trend (P < 0.05) (Fig. 2 B).

In our study, the mean optical density of caspase-1 in the diabetic group was significantly increased compared with the normal group, and it showed a trend of decrease in RGC in the SCU group, compared with the diabetic group 20 , which suggests that SCU can reduce the inflammatory response of DR, especially in RGC.
