Latanoprost Promotes Neurite Outgrowth in Differentiated RGC-5 Cells via the PI3K-Akt-mTOR Signaling Pathway.
|
|
This study presents novel in vitro evidence that latanoprost could promote neurite outgrowth through an FP receptor-mediated modulation of the PI3K-Akt-mTOR signaling pathway. This finding may provide insight into a better understanding of a new mechanism of latanoprost for glaucoma therapy and into the physiological-modulating activities of prostaglandins.

Author response: least invasive option seems best

The patient presented a very complicated case of glaucoma. In such situations, there are often alternate management modalities, and Dr. Bergman suggests a very reasonable option. When a patient presents with a lens-induced glaucoma, it seems intuitive that the best option would be to remove the lens unless there was...

Processing of Optineurin [Neurobiology]
|
|
This study thus provides compelling evidence that in a normal homeostatic situation, the turnover of endogenous optineurin involves mainly UPP. When optineurin is up-regulated or mutated, the UPP function is compromised, and autophagy comes into play. A decreased PSMB5 level and an induced autophagy were also demonstrated in vivo in...

Ultrasound biomicroscopic assessment of angle parameters in patients with primary angle closure glaucoma undergoing phacoemulsification.

Conclusions. Phacoemulsification in eyes with PACG results in significant widening of the anterior chamber angle. This results in better IOP control after surgery and decreases the need for glaucoma medications. These findings are of clinical significance in obviating the need for simultaneous filtering surgery in eyes with PACG undergoing phacoemulsification...

AbstractWe investigated whether endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress was involved in the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying neuronal death of the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) after intraocular pressure (IOP) elevation. Five cynomolgus monkeys, four with a glaucomatous left eye after laser photocoagulation treatment and one normal monkey, were studied. At 4, 11, 15...

More recently, the role that blood pressure (BP) has in the genesis of glaucoma has attracted attention, as it represents a clinically modifiable risk factor and...
