Transthyretin Exerts Pro-Apoptotic Effects in Human Retinal Microvascular Endothelial Cells Through a GRP78-Dependent Pathway in Diabetic Retinopathy

Background/Aims: Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is one of the main causes of blindness in the world. Our previous study showed that transthyretin (TTR) regulates key genes in the Tie2 pathway and inhibits the development of neovascularization in DR, but the mechanism is still unclear. Here, we investigat...
