Additionally, EGFR-enriched SEVs activated downstream ERK/AKT signaling pathways, promoting the proliferation and migration of lens epithelial cells and inducing epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT). Further inhibition experiments showed that blocking HSP70 and HSP90 with apoptozole and retaspimycin, or silencing LAMP2A with siRNA, reduced SEV secretion in HSF4-deficient cells.
