The Effects of Dexamethasone on Human Lens Epithelial Cells and the Analysis of Related Pathways with Transcriptome Sequencing.

Background: The goal of this study was to investigate the effects of dexamethasone on human lens epithelial cells (HLECs) and the potential mechanisms.

Methods: HLECs (HLE-B3) were cultured to assess the effects of dexamethasone on cell size at different concentrations. Immunofluorescence staining was used to detect specific protein expression in HLE-B3 cells.
