Per2-Mediated Vascular Dysfunction Is Caused by the Upregulation of the Connective Tissue Growth Factor (CTGF)

Period 2-mutant mice (Per2(m/m)), which possess a circadian dysfunction, recapitulate the retinal vascular phenotype similar to diabetic retinopathy (DR). The vascular dysfunction in Per2(m/m) is associated with an increase in connective tissue growth factor (CTGF/CCN2). At the molecular level, CTGF...
