TXNIP mediates high glucose-induced mitophagic flux and lysosome enlargement in human retinal pigment epithelial cells

Thioredoxin-interacting protein (TXNIP) plays a critical role in oxidative stress, inflammation, apoptosis and the pathogenesis of diabetic retinopathy (DR). However, the role of TXNIP in high glucose-induced retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) dysfunction is still unknown. Here, we show that high gluc...
