Article Title: Klotho attenuates epithelial‑mesenchymal transition of retinal pigment epithelial cells in subretinal fibrosis by suppressing the ERK1/2 and Wnt/β‑catenin signaling pathways.
Article Snippet: Retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells undergoing epithelial‐mesenchymal transition (EMT) are a key factor in promoting the progression of subretinal fibrosis.. The klotho protein and gene exert anti‐fibrotic effects in multiple fibrotic diseases.. However, the mechanisms involved in the role of klotho are unclear in subretinal fibrosis.
