“…For decades, hundreds of documents have elucidated the functional roles of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) in the formation of ARC. NcRNAs including microRNA, lncRNA, and circRNA have been reported to regulate apoptosis, oxidative stress, and ferroptosis in various diseases, which were also demonstrated in cataract formation, but the exact mechanism still remains unclear, thus lack clinical application [4][5][6]. Therefore, given the incomparable role of ncRNAs in the pathogenesis of ARC, there in an urgent need to further explore the molecular mechanisms of ARC, especially the regulatory roles of ncRNAs.…”
