Arginase-1 promotes lens epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition in different models of anterior subcapsular cataract

Abstract Background Arginase-1 (ARG1) promotes collagen synthesis and cell proliferation. ARG1 is highly expressed in various tumour cells. The mechanisms of ARG1 in epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT)-associated cataracts were studied herein. Methods C57BL/6 mice, a human lens epithelial cel...
