Tissue: | Retina |
Dysfunction Pattern: | Down-Regulation |
Validated Method: | RT-PCR//Western blot//High-throughput sequencing |
Description: | In this study, we mainly investigated the role of tRF‐1020, a tRNA fragment, in diabetes‐induced retinal vascular complications. The result showed that the levels of tRF‐1020 expression were significantly down‐regulated in diabetic retinal vessels, vitreous samples, and aqueous humour samples of DR patients. Increased tRF‐1020 expression could retard the progression of retinal vascular dysfunction via the inactivation of Wnt signalling. TRF‐1020 may serve as a potential target for the diagnosis and treatment of DR. |
Comparision: | Disease VS Control |
Mechanism: | In this study, the transfection of tRF‐1020 mimic leads to decreased levels of DVL‐2. By contrast, transfection of tRF‐1020 inhibitor leads to increased levels of DVL‐2. Altered expression of tRF‐1020 could affect the activation of Wnt signalling. This regulatory mechanism provides a novel insight into retinal microvascular complications. |
