tiRNA-Val promotes angiogenesis via Sirt1-Hif-1α axis in mice with diabetic retinopathy

Biol. Res; 55 (), 2022
BACKGROUND: Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a specific microvascular complication arising from diabetes, and its pathogenesis is not completely understood. tRNA-derived stress-induced RNAs (tiRNAs), a new type of small noncoding RNA generated by specific cleavage of tRNAs, has become a promising target for ...

The rs2442598 polymorphism in the ANGPT-2 gene is associated with risk for diabetic retinopathy in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus in a Brazilian population

ABSTRACT Objective: As studies have reported the involvement of angiopoietin-2 (ANGPT-2) in the pathogenesis of diabetic retinopathy (DR), the aim of this study was to investigate the association between the ANGPT-2 rs2442598 polymorphism and DR. Materials and methods: This case-control study comprised...

Association between the RAGE (receptor for advanced glycation end-products) -374T/A gene polymorphism and diabetic retinopathy in T2DM

Summary Objective: Interaction between advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) and receptor for AGEs (RAGE) in cells could affect both extracellular and intracellular structure and function, which plays a pivotal role in diabetic microvascular complications. The results from previous epidemiological stud...

Comparisons of serum miRNA expression profiles in patients with diabetic retinopathy and type 2 diabetes mellitus

Clinics; 72 (2), 2017
OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to compare the expression levels of serum miRNAs in diabetic retinopathy and type 2 diabetes mellitus. METHODS: Serum miRNA expression profiles from diabetic retinopathy cases (type 2 diabetes mellitus patients with diabetic retinopathy) and type 2 diabetes mellitus...

Relação dos polimorfismos funcionais -509C>t e 869T>C no gene do TGFβ1 com a retinopatia e nefropatia diabéticas em pacientes com diabetes mellitus tipo 2

Rev. AMRIGS; 56 (3), 2012
Introdução: O fator de crescimento transformante beta-1 (TGFβ1) é uma citocina multifuncional que regula a proliferação, a diferenciação e a formação da matriz extracelular de vários tipos de células. Existem evidências de que os polimorfismos -509C>T e 869T>C no gene do TGFβ1 alteram a sua...
