Long non‐coding ribonucleic acid urothelial carcinoma‐associated 1 promotes high glucose‐induced human retinal endothelial cells angiogenesis through regulating micro‐ribonucleic acid‐624‐3p/vascular endothelial growth factor C

Abstract

We identified UCA1 as an important factor associated with DR, which could regulate the expression of VEGF-C by sponging miR-624-3p in human retinal endothelial cells. Our results pave the way for further studies on diagnostic and therapeutic studies related to UCA1 in DR patients.
