Research Abstract

Diabetes is one of the major public health problem. Dysfunction of endothelial cells are involved in formation of the pathogenesis of this vascular diseases associated with diabetes. Our hypothesis is that cell to cell communication between endothelial cells and platelets would play a pivotal role in diabetic vascular complications. microRNAs (miRNAs) is a non-coding miRNAs that regulates protein synthesis post-transcriptionally. We used miRNAs as key players to organize a series of vascular events under hyperglycemia. We have discovered that miR-503 was induced by hypoxia in cultured endothelial cells and that miR-503 regulates phosphorylation of Akt as well as cyclin D. We also observed that miR-503 is released by wrapping in exosomes under hypoxic condition. In the future studies, we will focus on the downstream target of Akt regulated by miR-503 in endothelial cells and clarify the mechanisms by which endothelial cells transfer the information to platelets.
