Celastrol inhibits migration, proliferation and transforming growth factor-β2-induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition in lens epithelial cells
AIM: To investigate the mechanism of celastrol in inhibiting lens epithelial cells (LECs) fibrosis, which is the pathological basis of cataract. METHODS: Human LEC line SRA01/04 was treated with celastrol and transforming growth factor-β2 (TGF-β2). Wound-healing assay, proliferation assay, flow cyt...
