Preferential fluid flow in the human trabecular meshwork near collector channels.
PURPOSE To determine whether preferential pathways exist within the human trabecular meshwork, pigmented and nonpigmented regions adjacent to and between collector channels were examined, and the configuration of the juxtacanalicular tissue (JCT) was analyzed. METHODS Healthy whole human eyes were perfused at 10 or 25 mm Hg with 0.5 mum fluorescent beads. Tissue wedges of pigmented and nonpig...
متن کاملOCT Study of Mechanical Properties Associated with Trabecular Meshwork and Collector Channel Motion in Human Eyes
We report the use of a high-resolution optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging platform to identify and quantify pressure-dependent aqueous outflow system (AOS) tissue relationships and to infer mechanical stiffness through examination of tissue properties in ex vivo human eyes. Five enucleated human eyes are included in this study, with each eye prepared with four equal-sized quadrants, eac...
متن کاملHyaluronan in the human trabecular meshwork.
PURPOSE Hyaluronan (HA) is a high-molecular weight glycosaminoglycan that can affect water and solute fluxes in the extracellular matrix. The distribution of HA in the human trabecular meshwork of nonglaucomatous eyes was examined to help understand the potential role of HA in the regulation of aqueous outflow resistance. METHODS Histolocalization of HA was established in situ in the trabecul...
متن کاملErythrocyte phagocytosis in the human trabecular meshwork.
The mechanisms of erythrocyte disposal by the trabecular meshwork in the human eye have not been extensively studied by electron microscopy. At the present time there is one short report on the ultrastructural changes induced by post-traumatic recurrent hyphaemas in two elderly patients. In both patients, Yamashita and Rosen ( I965) observed infiltration of the endothelial meshwork by phagocyti...
متن کاملsCD44 internalization in human trabecular meshwork cells.
PURPOSE To determine whether soluble CD44 (sCD44), a likely biomarker of primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG), is internalized in cultured human trabecular meshwork (TM) cells and trafficked to mitochondria. METHODS In vitro, 32-kD sCD44 was isolated from human sera, biotinylated, and dephosphorylated. TM cells were incubated for 1 hour at 4°C with biotinylated albumin (b-albumin), biotin-label...
