Pirfenidone Attenuates the EMT Process and the Secretion of VEGF in TGF-β2-Induced ARPE-19 Cells via Inhibiting the Activation of the NF-κB/Snail Signaling Pathway

Aim. Pirfenidone (PFD), an antifibrotic drug, has various beneficial functions such as antioxidant, antifibrotic, and anti-inflammatory effects. This study aimed to explore the molecular mechanisms underlying how PFD modulates retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells involved in neovascularization and...
