Epigenetic Modifications Compromise Mitochondrial DNA Quality Control in the Development of Diabetic Retinopathy

PURPOSE: Diabetes causes dysfunction in the retinal mitochondria and increases base mismatches in their DNA (mtDNA). The enzyme responsible for repairing the base mismatches, MutL homolog 1 (Mlh1), is compromised. Diabetes also favors many epigenetic modifications and activates DNA methylation machi...
