VEGFA and diabetic retinopathy: Li EH et al. in their case–control study with 255 Diabetic Retinopathy patients and 253 healthy people, confirmed that in diabetic retinas miR-200b is significantly downregulated, whereas VEGFA is significantly upregulated, while they confirmed that miR-200b can form partial base pairs with the 3′ UTR region of the VEGFA mRNA and inhibit its expression [83].
