This study investigated the effect of miR-7 on the regulation of cell proliferation via the HoxB3 gene and PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathways in DR. Methods:Human retinal pigment epithelial cell line (ARPE-19) cultured in normal medium (Control) and high glucose medium (25mM glucose, HG) was transfected with mimics NC (HG+ mimics NC), miR-7 mimics (HG+miR-7 mimics), inhibitor NC (HG+ inhibitor NC), and miR-inhibitor (HG+miR-7 inhibitor).
