Retinopathy is the leading cause of blindness, and development of effective therapy is urgently needed. Here, we defined an unprecedented subgroup of microglia that is responsible for causing retinopathy under hypoxia. Mechanistic studies demonstrated the signaling pathway of hypoxia-induced necroptosis of retinal microglia, i.e., the hypoxia–RIP1–RIP3–MLKL signaling axis, triggered an explosive release of FGF2, which in its turn to induce retinal neovascularization. Simultaneous targeting of necroptosis–FGF2 pathway and VEGF produces synergistic effects for treating retinopathy. On the basis of our findings, we propose a concept of necroptotic microglia-induced retinal angiogenesis and highlight a combination therapy for effective treatment of retinopathy. Retinal neovascularization is a leading cause of severe visual loss in humans, and molecular mechanisms of microglial activation-driven angiogenesis remain unknown. Using single-cell RNA sequencing, we identified a subpopulation of microglia named sMG2, which highly expressed necroptosis-related genes Rip3 and Mlkl. Genetic and pharmacological loss of function demonstrated that hypoxia-induced microglial activation committed to necroptosis through the RIP1/RIP3-mediated pathway. Specific deletion of Rip3 gene in microglia markedly decreased retinal neovascularization. Furthermore, hypoxia induced explosive release of abundant FGF2 in microglia through RIP3-mediated necroptosis. Importantly, blocking signaling components of the microglia necropotosis–FGF2 axis largely ablated retinal angiogenesis and combination therapy with simultaneously blocking VEGF produced synergistic antiangiogenic effects. Together, our data demonstrate that targeting the microglia necroptosis axis is an antiangiogenesis therapy for retinal neovascular diseases.
