Two miRNAs have been shown to be downregulated in retinal endothelial cells from diabetes patients: MiR-146a-reduced expression is related to an increase in extracellular matrix fibronectin production [20], while miR-200b downregulation is involved in vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) alterations in diabetic retinopathy [21]. Here, VEGFA is linked to diabetic retinopathy.
