Moreover, each eCyp altered the intracellular expression of other Cyps, including cyclophilin D. This work is the first report of eCyps influence on iCyps expression, as well as the first description of eCypC as an activator of CD147 receptor and a mediator of endothelial dysfunction, which points to a potential role of this protein in vascular complications associated to diabetes. Here, PPIF is linked to endothelial dysfunction.
