Clusterin ameliorates endothelial dysfunction in diabetes by suppressing mitochondrial fragmentation

Clusterin (CLU) is a stress-responding protein associated with cytoprotection in a broad range of pathological processes. However, clusterin's function in diabetes-induced endothelial dysfunction has not been defined. Herein, using two diabetes models, we investigated the role of clusterin in endothelial dysfunction triggered by diabetes and the molecular mechanisms involved. The results revealed that clusterin overexpression inhibited...
