Abstract
Objective: The purpose of this study was to explore the effects and potential mechanisms of miRNA-29c-3p regulating suppressors of cytokine signaling 3 (SOCS3) in Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) progression.
Methods: Human retinal microvascular endothelial cells (hRMECs) were exposed to 25 mM high glucose concentrations to establish a DR cell model and underwent transfection to down-regulate miRNA-29c-3p and SOCS3.
Results: High glucose induces upregulation of miRNA-29c-3p and downregulation of SOCS3 expression in hRMECs. Under high-glucose conditions, inhibition of miRNA-29c-3p significantly suppresses hRMEC migration, angiogenesis, and the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Notably, this inhibitory effect is partially reversed upon SOCS3 knockdown. Moreover, miRNA-29c-3p directly targets and regulates SOCS3 mRNA expression. Importantly, SOCS3 knockdown markedly activates the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway in hRMECs, which can be suppressed by reducing miRNA-29c-3p levels.
Conclusion: miRNA-29c-3p promotes DR progression by activating the JAK2/STAT3 pathway through SOCS3 regulation.
