Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Previous studies have shown that high glucose (HG) induced endothelial cell (EC) damage via a phenotypic transition of EC. There is increasing evidence suggesting the role of inflammatory cytokines in mediated HG-induced EC damage. However, little is known about the potential role of interleukin-1β (IL-1β) in the process. The aim of present study was to investigate whether IL-1β mediated HG-induced...
