miRNA-181a Inhibits the Proliferation, Migration, and Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition of Lens Epithelial Cells [Lens]

Conclusions. These data reveal that miR-181a can inhibit the proliferation, migration, and EMT of LECs and suggest that the restoration of miRNA-181a expression may be a potential novel therapeutic target for the prevention and treatment of posterior capsule opacification.
