MALAT1 level is significantly upregulated in diabetic animal models. (a) Total RNAs were collected from the retinas of 1, 3, and 5 month after diabetes induction. Quantitative reverse transcriptase–PCRs (qRT-PCRs) were performed to detect MALAT1 levels in the retinas of STZ-induced diabetic rats and their respective non-diabetic controls. Relative MALAT1 expression was shown as the fold increase compared with the respective control (mean±S.E.M., n=6, *P<0.05). (b) qRT-PCRs were performed to detect the levels of MALAT1, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and PDEF in the retinas of db/db mice and their respective non-diabetic controls. Relative gene expression was shown as the fold increase compared with the respective control (mean±S.E.M., n=6, *P<0.05)
