This study suggests that circRNAs are the potential regulators in cataractogenesis. CircHIPK3 regulates HLECs function through miR-193a-mediated CRYAA expression. This finding would provide a novel insight into the pathogenesis of ARC.
Circular RNA HIPK3 regulates human lens epithelial cells proliferation and apoptosis by targeting the miR-193a/CRYAA axis.
