Research progress on the role of Hippo signaling pathway in posterior capsular opacification / 国际眼科杂志(Guoji Yanke Zazhi)

ABSTRACT

@#Posterior capsular opacification is the most common complication after cataract extraction, which seriously influences the quality of life of patients. At present, there is no effective measure to prevent posterior capsular opacification. Surgery or NdYAG laser is often used in clinical, and a new treatment is urgently needed. Hippo signaling pathway is involved in the steady-state regulation of many mammalian cells and organs. Recent studies have shown that Hippo signaling pathway can regulate the proliferation, apoptosis, differentiation and other behaviors of lens epithelial cells. Hippo signaling pathway may provide a new target in the treatment of posterior capsular opacification. This article reviews the composition, regulatory mechanism of Hippo signaling pathway and its application in posterior capsular opacification. In order to provide a broader idea for the prevention and treatment of posterior capsular opacification.
