Angiopoietin-Like Protein 4 (ANGPTL4) Induces Retinal Pigment Epithelial Barrier Breakdown by Activating Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription 3 (STAT3): Evidence from ARPE-19 Cells Under Hypoxic Condition and Diabetic Rats

BACKGROUND: Diabetic retinopathy is a primary contributor of visual impairment in adult diabetes mellitus patients. Diabetic retinopathy causes breakdown of blood retinal barrier (BRB), and leads to diabetic macular edema. Previous studies have demonstrated angiopoietin-like protein 4 (ANGPTL4) as a...
