Senescence‐Driven IL‐17A Inflammatory Circuit Promotes Epithelial–Mesenchymal Transition (EMT) and Progression in Age‐Related Posterior Subcapsular Cataracts

Aging Cell, Volume 25, Issue 4, April 2026.
Using multi‐region human PSC samples, we identified EMT as a consistent pathological feature. Mechanistically, senescent LECs secrete IL‐17A, a representative SASP factor, which activates NF‐κB signaling. NF‐κB further amplifies SASP production, thereby establishing a senescence–inflammation feedback loop that drives EMT, sustains pathological ...
