Abstract: Proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) is a common cause of failure and recurrence of retinal detachment surgery. The pathophysiological mechanism of PVR is complex, and TGF-β-mediated signaling pathway network plays an important role in the formation of PVR. In this paper, we reviewed the progress of TGF-β -mediated MAPK, Notch, Akt, BMP, RhoA/ROCK, PKA, and JAK/STAT signaling pathways in PVR, and illustrate their important roles in the formation of PVR, so as to provide a new idea for clinical treatment.
