lncRNA H19 inhibits miR‐29a in human lens epithelial cells (HLECs). (A), lncRNA H19 was enriched significantly in the cytoplasm by FISH assay. (B), miR‐29a expression was declined in the three types of early ARC. ***P < 0.001. (C), miR‐29a expression decreased significantly in HLECs exposed to UVB. *P < 0.05. (D), miR‐29a expression increased in HLECs transfected with si‐H19 and decreased in the cells transfected with pcDNA‐H19. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01. (E), The luciferase activity of H19‐WT but not H19‐MUT was inhibited by miR‐29a mimic. **P < 0.01
