Mbd2 deficiency alleviates retinal cell apoptosisvia the miR-345-5p/Atf1 axis in high glucoseinjury and streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice

DNA methylation is considered to play an important role in the development of diabetic retinopathy. Here, our goal was to investigate the precise role of methyl-CpG binding domain protein 2 (Mbd2) in the apoptosis of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) in the early diabetic retina. Mbd2 was significantly...
