miR-124, miR-126-3p, and miR-200b: Potential therapeutic targets for VEGF-mediated complications in proliferative diabetic retinopathy
Our study demonstrated a significant upregulation of miR-124 and miR-126-3p, along with a downregulation of miR-200b, in vitreous samples from patients with PDR, accompanied by elevated VEGF-A levels. These findings provide valuable insights into the pathogenesis of PDR. Further research is needed to evaluate the potential diagnostic and therapeutic implications of these molecular changes and to explore their viability as potential therapeutic targets.
