The Role of DNA Methylation in the Metabolic Memory Phenomenon Associated With the Continued Progression of Diabetic Retinopathy
27 Oct 2016
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Clinical and experimental studies have shown that diabetic retinopathy progression does not halt after termination of hyperglycemia, suggesting a "metabolic memory" phenomenon. DNA is highly dynamic, and cytosine methylation changes can last for several years. In diabetes, DNA methylation regulates expression of many genes associated with retinal mitochondrial homeostasis. Our aim was to investigate the...
