HOXA9 increased pro-myopia markers and PRE cells. Transfection of HOXA9 plasmid to mouse primary RPE increased (a and b) RNA and protein levels of HOXA9, TGF-β2, TGF-β3, MMP2, FGF2 and IGF1R, (c and d) the RPE proliferation and viability in a dose-dependent manner *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 and ***P < 0.001.
