| Abstract | Background The epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) of retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells participated in the development of retinal fibrosis. SB431542 is a small molecule inhibitor with inhibitory effects on the ALK4, ALK5 and ALK7. Our study aimed to explore the effect of SB431542 on the EMT of RPE cells and to provide new ideas for the treatment of retinal fibrosis. Methods We performed fundus fluorescein angiography, optical coherence tomography and hematoxylin–eosin staining in vivo to observe the effect of SB431542 on choroidal neovascularization (CNV)-induced retinopathy. The proliferation, migration, cytoskeleton, adhesion, reactive oxygen species (ROS), mitochondrial morphology and membrane potential of RPE cells were observed in vitro through fluorescein diacetate staining, Cell Counting Kit-8 experiment, wound healing assay, phalloidin staining, immunofluorescence, MitoSOX, DCFH-DA, MitoTracker and JC-10 staining. Western blot, reverse transcription quantitative and immunofluorescence were used to detect the expression of EMT–related markers, pERK1/2, pGSK3β and β-catenin. Results SB431542 significantly alleviated retinopathy in the CNV model. The proliferation, migration and adhesion in RPE cells decreased to a certain extent in SB431542 treatment. SB431542 partially normalized the structure of RPE cells. The expression levels of E-cadherin increased, while the expression levels of laminin and N-cadherin decreased with SB431542 treatment. SB431542 reduced the production of total ROS, mitochondrial SOX and recovered the mitochondrial membrane potential to a certain degree. In addition, our study showed that SB431542 downregulated the phosphorylation of ERK1/2, GSK3β and the expression of β-catenin. Conclusion SB431542 improved EMT in RPE cells by maintaining mitochondrial homeostasis via the ERK1/2 and GSK3β/β-catenin pathways.

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
