Incretin drugs effect on epigenetic machinery: New potential therapeutic implications in preventing vascular diabetic complications

Abstract excerpt

The effect of GLP-1R agonists on DNA methylation levels of NF-κB and SOD2 genes in human aortic endothelial cells exposed to high glucose and in diabetic patients treated and not with incretin-based drugs, was evaluated. Methylation levels, mRNA and protein expression of NF-κB and SOD2 genes were measured in human endothelial cells exposed to high glucose for 7 days and treated with GLP-1R agonists. Methylation...
