Popis: Objective Patients with diabetes mellitus frequently have chronic wounds or diabetic ulcers as a result of impaired wound healing, which may lead to limb amputation. Human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) dysfunction also delays wound healing. Here, we investigated the mechanism of miR-200b in HUVECs under high glucose conditions and the potential of miR-200b as a therapeutic target. Materials and Methods In this experimental study, HUVECs were cultured with 5 or 30 mM glucose for 48 hours. Cell proliferation was evaluated by CCK-8 assays. Cell mobility was tested by wound healing and Transwell assays. Angiogenesis was analyzed in vitro Matrigel tube formation assays. Luciferase reporter assays were used to test the binding of miR-200b with Notch1. Results miR-200b expression was induced by high glucose treatment of HUVECs (P
