Anthrax lethal toxin suppresses high glucose induced VEGF over secretion through a post-translational mechanism
<b>AIM:</b>To prove anthrax lethal toxin (LeTx) blocks the mitogen activated protein kinases (MAPKs) activation by degrading theMAPK/ERK kinases (MEKs) to suppress vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) secretion. <b>METHODS</b>:Human adult retinal pigmented epithelium (AR...
