Rho/Rho-associated kinase pathway in glaucoma (Review).
The Rho/ROCK pathway plays important roles in the modulation of the cytoskeletal integrity of cells, the synthesis of extracellular matrix components in the aqueous humor outflow tissue and the permeability of Schlemm's canal endothelial cells. The activation of the Rho/ROCK pathway results in trabecular meshwork (TM) contraction, and the inhibition of this pathway would provoke relaxation of T...
متن کاملRho-Associated Kinase Inhibitors: Potential Future Treatments for Glaucoma
Glaucoma is the second‐leading cause of vision loss in the world: the so‐called “silent thief of vision” is globally the most common cause of preventable, irreversible blindness. It is estimated that the disease affects more than 60 million people worldwide, and this number is projected to increase to about 80 million by 2020.[1] Moreover, it is proposed that nearly 8.4 million people are bilat...
متن کاملRho-associated kinase inhibitors: a novel glaucoma therapy.
The rho-associated kinase (ROCK) signaling pathway is activated via secreted bioactive molecules or via integrin activation after extracellular matrix binding. These lead to polymerization of actin stress fibers and formation of focal adhesions. Accumulating evidence suggests that actin cytoskeleton-modulating signals are involved in aqueous outflow regulation. Aqueous humor contains various bi...
متن کاملpathway and network analysis in primary open angle glaucoma
glaucoma, a group of multifactor ocular diseases, is the second leading cause of blindness worldwide. primary open angle (poa) is the most common type of glaucoma, characterized by progressive optic nerve degeneration. numerous genes and proteins have been revealed to be associated with poag, but the pathologic mechanisms of the disease are still poorly understood. proteomics, the collective st...
متن کاملInactivation of mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling pathway reduces caspase-14 expression in impaired keratinocytes
Objective(s):Several investigations have revealed that caspase-14 is responsible for the epidermal differentiation and cornification, as well as the regulation of moisturizing effect. However, the precise regulation mechanism is still not clear. This study was aimed to investigate the expression of caspase-14 in filaggrin-deficient normal human epidermal keratinocytes (NHEKs) and to explore the...
