Overview
To study the molecular pathogenesis of cataract and explore possible treatments，anterior lens capsules were collected from cataract patients
Description
Anterior lens capsules were collected from the patients with DC and ARC, and transparent crystals of cadaveric eyes. M6A epitranscriptomic microarray was performed to investigate the altered m6A modifications and determine the differentially expressed mRNAs. The potential role of dysregulated m6A modification levels was predicted through Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway enrichment analyses. Real-time polymerase chain reaction was performed to identify the dysregulated expression of RNA methyltransferases, demethylases, and readers.
