RhoA/ROCK Signaling Regulates TGFβ-Induced Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition of Lens Epithelial Cells through MRTF-A

Abstract Transforming growth factor (TGF)-β-induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) leads to the formation of ocular fibrotic pathologies, such as anterior subcapsular cataract and posterior capsule opacification. Remodeling of the actin cytoskeleton, mediated by the Rho family of GTPases, p...
