Overexpression of TRPV1 activates autophagy in human lens epithelial cells under hyperosmotic stress through Ca2+-dependent AMPK/mTOR pathway

AIM: To explore whether autophagy functions as a cellular adaptation mechanism in lens epithelial cells (LECs) under hyperosmotic stress. METHODS: LECs were treated with hyperosmotic stress at the concentration of 270, 300, 400, 500, or 600 mOsm for 6, 12, 18, 24h in vitro. Polymerase chain reaction...
