Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) levels in aqueous humor of primary open angle glaucoma
PURPOSE Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), a macrophage/monocyte derived pluripotent cytokine is associated with tissue ischemia, neuronal damage and remodeling. The physiological level of TNF-α in aqueous humor of normal and glaucomatous eyes is unknown. In this study, we evaluated the TNF-α levels in aqueous in patients with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) and compared them to controls. ...
متن کاملRoles of tumor necrosis factor alpha gene polymorphisms, tumor necrosis factor alpha level in aqueous humor, and the risks of open angle glaucoma: A meta-analysis
PURPOSE This meta-analysis was performed to clarify the association between tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) gene polymorphisms and open angle glaucoma (OAG) risks, and the association between the TNF-α level in aqueous humor (AH) and the risks of glaucoma. METHODS A computerized literature search was performed for the relevant available studies from three databases including PubMed, ISI W...
متن کاملAssociation of Plasma Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha (tnf-α) Levels in Patients with Primary Open Angle Glaucoma
To investigate the association of plasma levels of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) in patients with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) patients as compared to non-glaucomatous controls. TNF-α concentrations were measured using sandwiched enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in plasma samples from 39 POAG patients and 36 controls. The assay was performed in duplicate on an automated Che...
متن کاملAqueous Humor Levels of Soluble Fas and Fas-ligand in Patients with Primary Open Angle and Pseudoex-foliation Glaucoma
Background: Glaucoma is one of the most common causes of blindness and is usually associated with elevated intraocular pressure. In patients with primary open angle glau-coma the number of trabecular meshwork cells is decreased. Death of the trabecular meshwork cells may be a result of apoptosis. Objective: To investigate the aqueous humor levels of soluble Fas (sFas) and Fas-Ligand (sFasL) in ...
متن کاملEvaluation of Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha Polymorphism Frequencies in Endometriosis
Background The pro-inflammatory cytokine, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), is a pathogenic element for a number of disorders. Previous studies have reported that the -1031 T/C and -238 G/A polymorphisms in the promoter region of the TNF-α gene are important factors in reproductive-related disorders. One of the most common gynecological diseases of women during the reproductive years is endo...
