Objective: Extensive retinal ischemia caused by proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) may develop into neovascular glaucoma (NVG). We searched for the proteins which might participate in neovascularization through the analysis of aqueous humor (AH) proteomics in patients with NVG secondary to PDR to increasing the understanding of the possible mechanism of neovascularization. Methods: We collected 12 samples (group A) of AH from patients with NVG secondary to PDR as the experimental group and 7 samples (group B) of AH from patients with primary acute angle-closure glaucoma (PAACG) & diabetes mellitus without diabetic retinopathy (NDR) as the control group. Differential quantitative proteome analysis of the aqueous humor samples was performed based on the data-independent acquisition (DIA) method. The differentially expressed proteins were functionally annotated by Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA). The important differentially expressed proteins were validated in another group (group A: 5 samples and group B: 5 samples) by parallel reaction monitor (PRM) approach. Results: A total of 636 AH proteins were identified, and 82 proteins were differentially expressed between the two groups. Functional annotation showed that the differentially expressed proteins were mainly associated with angiogenesis and cell migration. Signaling pathways analysis showed that the proteins up-regulated in group A were mainly related to Liver X receptor/Retinoid X receptor (LXR/RXR) activation and acute reaction. Conclusions: This study presented a pilot work related to NVG secondary to PDR, which provided a better understanding of the mechanisms governing the pathophysiology of NVG.

Incidents associated with methanol intoxication resulting from the consumption of fake wine occur not infrequently worldwide. Certain individuals are made blind due to methanol poisoning. The present study aimed to investigate the effects of sodium formate exposure on photoreceptor cells (661W cells). The 661W cells were exposed to sodium formate for 6‑24 h and cell viability was determined using a 3‑(4,5‑dimethylthiazol‑2‑yl)‑2,5‑diphenyl‑2H‑tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. Subsequently, the 661W cells were exposed to 15 or 30 mM sodium formate for 24 h. The level of apoptosis was determined using Hoechst 33342/propidium iodide staining, visualizing the cells under a fluorescence microscope, and annexin V‑fluorescein isothiocyanate staining, using flow cytometric analysis. Intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) were measured using 2',7'‑dichlorofluorescein diacetate (DCFH‑DA) staining, followed by flow cytometric analysis. Autophagy of the 661W cells was measured by monodansylcadaverine staining. The activation of phosphorylated c‑Jun N‑terminal kinase (p‑JNK), B‑cell lymphoma (Bcl‑2), Bcl‑2‑associated X protein, cleaved caspase‑3, cleaved caspase‑9 and microtubule‑associated protein 1A/1B‑light chain 3 (LC3) was assessed by western blotting. The effects of Z‑VAD‑fmk (a pan‑caspase inhibitor) and SP600125 (a JNK inhibitor) on the viability of the sodium formate‑induced 661W cells were determined using an MTT assay. Sodium formate treatment induced a decrease in the viability of the 661W cells in a time‑ and a dose‑dependent manner. In addition, sodium formate at concentrations of 15 or 30 mM markedly increased the level of apoptosis and the ROS levels, as measured by DCFH‑DA staining of the 661W cells. Additionally, 661W cells exposed to sodium formate for 24 h exhibited increased levels of p‑JNK, Bax, cleaved caspase‑3, cleaved caspase‑9 and LC3II (the phosphatidylethanolamine‑modified form of LC3), although the level of Bcl‑2 was decreased. Furthermore, cell cytotoxicity and autophagy were induced upon treatment with sodium formate. Z‑VAD‑fmk and SP600125 were able to effectively circumvent the effects of sodium formate on cell viability. These results suggested that the cytotoxicity induced by sodium formate induces the activation of the JNK signaling pathway, leading to caspase‑dependent apoptosis. Increased levels of autophagy were also observed during the process of 661W cell damage induced by sodium formate.

Objective This study was to explore the expression of iASPP on pressure-induced apoptosis of cultured retinal ganglion cells (RGC-5 cells).Methods The RGC-5 cells were cultured under the pressure of 60mmHg and 80mmHg for 48 hours.Cell viability were determined by MTT assays.Cells apoptosis was determined by Hoe33342. The expression of iASPP and P53 was determined by using semi-quantitative RT-PCR and Western blot respective. Results MTT assay showed that the RGC-5 cells viability was decreased in a pressure-dependent manner.As the pressure was up,the apoptosis of RGC-5 cells was increased,the expression of P53 was elevated and the expression of iASPP was decreased.Conclusion The reduced expression of iASPP gene may increase the activity of p53 and promote the apoptosis of RGC-5 cells under pressure.Enhancing expression of iASPP may play a role as a neuroprotect.

Simvastatin is a cholesterol-lowering drug which exhibits numerous pleiotropic effects including anticancer activity. Yet, the anti-cancer effects in choroidal melanoma remain poorly characterized. Therefore, in this study, we investigated the effects of simvastatin on OCM-1 cells growth, apoptosis and cycle. Simvastatin showed an inhibitory effects on OCM-1 cells viability in dose-dependent (2-10 mu M) and time-dependent (24-72 h) manner. Further study suggested that simvastatin-induced inhibition OCM-1 cells proliferation was associated with G1 phase arrest, decreased protein and mRNA expression of proliferation marker cyclin D1, cyclin E, cyclin dependent kinase (CDK)2 and increased expression of CDK inhibitory protein P21. In addition, simvastatin resulted in an increase in levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in OCM-1 cells and simvastatin significantly triggered apoptosis in OCM-1 cells, which was characterized by increased chromatin condensation, activation of caspase-9 and cleaved-caspase-3, increased expression mitochondrion-related apoptosis protein of P53, Bax and decreased expression of Bcl2 and iASPP. Collectively, our study demonstrated that simvastatin can efficiently inhibit proliferation and induce apoptosis in OCM-1 cells. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

BACKGROUND:Ahmed glaucoma valve(AGV) is usually implanted at the superotemporal area of eyes.Corneal endothelial cells cannot regenerate,so the repair of the endothelial cells mainly depend on the extension and progradation of the healthy cells in other area.Therefore,changes of density and shape are observed in the corneal endothelial cells after AGV implantation.OBJECTIVE:To observe the changes of density and morphology of corneal endothelial cells after AGV implantation.METHODS:Ahmed glaucoma valves were implanted in 34 eyes of 34 patients with refractory glaucoma.Density and morphology of corneal endothelial cells were evaluated in the superotemporal,superonasal,infratemporal,infranasal,and central corneal areas to calculate mean value of total cornea before and at 3 and 6 months after surgery.Percentage of hexagonal cells was statistically summarized.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Mean density of corneal endothelial cells was statistically decreased following AGV implantation(P<0.05),In particular,the decrease was obvious in the superotemporal area.Density of corneal endothelial cells was not changed in central area before and after AGV implantation.Morphological changes demonstrated that hexagonal cells were increased,but polygon cells were increased(P<0.05).Density of corneal endothelial cells was gradually decreased,and morphology was also changed at 6 months after AGV implantation,suggesting that more care should be taken during intra-operation in order to minimize damage to the endothelium and prolong monitoring time of corneal endothelial cells following AGV implantation.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) in the sclera of lamina cribrosa in rat chronic elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) and its the relationship with the pathogenesis of glaucoma.METHODS:It was an experimental study. Chronic ocular hypertension (OHT) model was induced in the left eyes of 43 Wistar rats by cauterizing episcleral venous while the right eyes were used as control. The rats were divided into three groups: 13 for immunohistology, 15 for Western blotting, and 15 for RT-PCR by randomly computerized assignment and sacrificed at week 12 after OHT induction. The expression of MMP-2, MMP-9, TIMP-1, and TIMP-2 in the sclera lamina cribrosa was detected using immunohistology, Western blotting, and RT-PCR technique, respectively. Repeated measures ANOVA of two-factor Studies in SAS statistic software were used to analyze the data.RESULTS:After 12 weeks, compared with control eyes, the IOP of rat OHT eyes was significantly (F = 1519.67, P < 0.01) elevated. The expression of MMP-2 and MMP-9 was increased in cell nucleus and cytoplasm in sclera lamina cribrosa in rat OHT when compared to control eyes with negative expression. No expressions of TIMP-1, TIMP-2 in sclera lamina cribrosa were found in both OHT and control eyes. The mean gray-scale values of MMP-2, MMP-9, TIMP-1, and TIMP-2 in OHT were significantly (F = 405.55, F = 436.11, F = 1167.77, and F = 4629.64, P < 0.01) higher than control eye by Western blotting (193.88 +/- 8.84 vs 117.38 +/- 10.76, 202.65 +/- 8.37 vs 134.13 +/- 5.06, 283.63 +/- 5.65 vs 186.88 +/- 7.14, and 284.75 +/- 5.50 vs 183.0 +/- 5.58), while by RT-PCR (200.50 +/- 3.25 vs 181.88 +/- 9.36, 200.13 +/- 2.95 vs 181.75 +/- 5.85, 201.88 +/- 3.14 vs 179.25 +/- 9.21, and 195.50 +/- 3.55 vs 179.75 +/- 7.12), respectively.CONCLUSION:The increased expression of MMP-2, MMP-9, TIMP-1, and TIMP-2 in lamina cribrosa in rat OHT eye indicates that MMPs and TIMPs may be involved in the pathogenesis of glaucoma.
Objectives To observe the relation of postoperation visual field and postoperation IOP of advanced glaucoma with tubular visual field.Methods 32 patients(44 eyes) were divided into three groups by postoperation IOP.Group A:15 eyes,postoperation IOP18 mmHg,group B:15 eyes,postoperation IOP is between 18 mmHg and 12 mmHg,group C:14 eyes,postoperation IOP is between 12 mmHg and 5 mmHg.The vision,MD and postoperative satisfaction among three groups of subjects were compared. Results Group A:the MD of postoperation descend,and the discrepancy is statistically significant,which means visual field is still decreasing even if postoperation IOP18 mmHg,group B:the MD of postoperation is lightly promoting,and the discrepancy is not statistically significant,which means the depression of postoperation IOP is partly helpful to the aggravation of visual field and development of advanced glaucoma,group C:the MD of postoperation is obviously promoting,and the discrepancy is statistically significant, which means controlling the postoperation IOP within 12~5 mmHg can obviously promote the visual field of advanced glaucoma.Conclusions We should control the postoperation IOP of advanced glaucoma within 12~5 mmHg,and testing visual field regularly is instructive to monitoring the variation of visual field of advanced glaucoma.
Objective:To establish menopausal rat models with ovariectomized rats by injecting different levels of progesterone,detect the changes of nitric oxide level in serum,observe the effect of progesterone on apoptosis of retinal ganglial cells.Methods:The levels of progesterone and nitric oxide in serum were detected by RIA and colorimetry,respectively;the apoptosis of retinal ganglial cells was detected by TUNEL technique.Results:The level of nitric oxide increased with progesterone level,there was a negative correlation between apoptosis of retinal ganglial cells and progesterone level.Conclusion:Proper progesterone can inhibit the apoptosis of retinal ganglial cells by promoting the production of nitric oxide,in order to protect optic nerve.
