Exposure of the lens to UVB can lead to oxidative stress, which would result in age-related cataract (ARC) formation. In this study, we investigate the regulatory mechanism of tripartite motif containing 25 (TRIM25) in ARC. The protein level of TRIM25 was elevated in ARC specimens and UVB-exposed SRA01/04 cells.

However, the relationship between ubiquitination and ARC is unclear. Herein, we used UVB-irradiated human lens epithelial cell line (SRA01/04) representing the cell model of ARC to investigate the profile changes in the proteome and ubiquitome.
