DOI: 10.1016/j.bbrc.2019.02.049
Abstract: Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is the main cause of fibrotic cataracts. Oxidative stress was recently shown to trigger epithelial-mesenchymal transition in human lens epithelial cells (hLECs). However, the underlying mechanism is not fully understood. Here we… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract Dehydroalanine (DHA) and dehydrobutyrine (DHB) intermediates, formed through &bgr;‐elimination, induce protein irreversible glutathionylation and protein‐protein crosslinking in human lens fiber cells. In total, irreversible glutathionylation was detected on 52 sites including cysteine, serine and… read more here.
