Abstract
mechanistic experiments, the generation of ROS was inhibited after APBOM intervention, and the expression of CD34, CD31 and VEGF was decreased. Furthermore, the mRNA and protein levels of HO-1, NQO1, SOD and Nrf2 were increased, which indicated that APBOM might promote expression of the Nrf2/ARE signaling pathway. Overall, APBOM might alleviate DR by inhibiting angiogenesis and activating the Nrf2/ARE signaling pathway.
