Abstract:
Objective To study the relationship of cataract with lens epithelial cell apoptosis and autophagy by observing the ultrastructure of age-related and diabetic cataract lens epithelial cells.Methods Transmission electron microscope was used to observe the apoptotic and autophagic morphology of the lens epithelial cells in 5 cases with age-related and diabetic cataract respectively,and in 2 cases with normal lens.Results The apoptosis and autophagy of lens epithelial cells was found in cases with age-related and diabetic cataract,while no expression was observed in control lens epithelial cells.Conclusion The apoptosis and autophagy of lens epithelial cells are closely related to age-related and diabetic cataract formation.
