MicroRNA-200b Regulates Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor–Mediated Alterations in Diabetic Retinopathy
1 Mar 2011
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a leading cause of blindness. Increased vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), promoting angiogenesis and increased permeability, is a key mechanistic abnormality in DR. We investigated microRNA (miRNA) alterations in DR with specific focus on miR-200b, and its downstream target, VEGF. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: miRNA expression profiling microarray was used to...
