Notably, miRNAs responsive to NF-κB (miR-146, miR-155, miR-132, and miR-21), VEGF (miR-17-5p, miR-18a, miR-20a, miR-21, miR-31, and miR-155), and p53 (miR-34 family) signaling were upregulated, consistent with the pathophysiologic signature of diabetic retinopathy [55]. Here, VEGFA is linked to diabetic retinopathy.
