In high-glucosechallenged retinal pigment epithelial cells, PCs activate the p53/mTOR autophagy pathway, lowering apoptosis-related factors (e.g., Bax, Caspase-3, LC3-II/LC3-I, and phosphorylated p53) and elevating the levels of survival proteins (Bcl-2, p62, and phosphorylated mTOR) (Li et al., 2022)
