Fluctuations in intraocular pressure increase the trabecular meshwork extracellular matrix.
BACKGROUND/AIMS The trabecular meshwork (TM) tissue is constantly exposed to dynamic stress caused by intraocular pressure (IOP). The effects of such biomechanical stress on the TM have not been analyzed. This study developed an animal model of fluctuating IOP and evaluated the effects of these fluctuations on TM tissue. METHODS To create fluctuation in the IOP, one eye of adult SD rats was e...
متن کاملRegulation of Trabecular Meshwork Cell Contraction and Intraocular Pressure by miR-200c
Lowering intraocular pressure (IOP) delays or prevents the loss of vision in primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) patients with high IOP and in those with normal tension glaucoma showing progression. Abundant evidence demonstrates that inhibition of contractile machinery of the trabecular meshwork cells is an effective method to lower IOP. However, the mechanisms involved in the regulation of tra...
متن کاملExpression of matrix metalloproteinases and inhibitor by human trabecular meshwork.
Extracellular matrix (ECM) turnover and remodeling are initiated, at least in part, by the regulated secretion of members of a family of matrix metalloproteinases. Human and bovine trabecular mesh-work in culture secrete interstitial collagenase, both the 72- and the 92-kD forms of type IV collagenase (gelatinases) and stromelysin, and the tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases (TIMP). These pr...
متن کاملUp-Regulated Expression of Extracellular Matrix Remodeling Genes in Phagocytically Challenged Trabecular Meshwork Cells
BACKGROUND Cells in the trabecular meshwork (TM), the tissue responsible for draining aqueous humor out of the eye, are known to be highly phagocytic. Phagocytic function in TM cells is thought to play an important role in the normal functioning of the outflow pathway. Dysfunction of phagocytosis could lead to abnormalities of outflow resistance and increased intraocular pressure (IOP). However...
متن کاملSmad7 siRNA inhibit expression of extracellular matrix in trabecular meshwork cells treated with TGF-β2
PURPOSE Extracellular matrix (ECM) deposits lead to elevated resistance of aqueous humor outflow which play an important role in the development of primary open angle glaucoma (POAG). The TGF-β2 (transforming growth factor β)/Smad (signaling mathers against decapentaplegic) pathway is known to regulate the ECM deposits. In this study, we determined the effect of Smad7 siRNA transfection in inhi...
