Morphological and biomechanical analyses of the human healthy and glaucomatous aqueous outflow pathway: Imaging-to-modeling

Alireza Karimi et al.

Summary: This study used X-ray computed tomography and scanning electron microscopy to reconstruct 3D microstructural finite element models of the healthy and glaucoma outflow tissues. The results showed that the primary site of outflow resistance in glaucoma eyes is the trabecular meshwork, while in healthy eyes, it is the juxtacanalicular connective tissue and the inner wall of Schlemm's canal. The glaucoma eyes had thicker trabecular meshwork and juxtacanalicular connective tissue and smaller trabecular space compared to healthy eyes.

Glaucoma: Novel antifibrotic therapeutics for the trabecular meshwork

Mengqi Qin et al.

Summary: Glaucoma is a chronic neurodegenerative disease that affects 1% of the world's population, characterized by the loss of retinal ganglion cells and visual field defects. Elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) is a major risk factor and a therapeutic target for hypertensive glaucoma. Fibrosis, characterized by excessive deposition of extracellular matrix components and myofibroblasts, can impair trabecular meshwork (TM) function and contribute to the pathogenesis of glaucoma. This paper provides an overview of current anti-fibrotic therapeutics targeting the TM, including their mechanisms, efficacy, and research progress.

Biomechanics of human trabecular meshwork in healthy and glaucoma eyes via dynamic Schlemm's canal pressurization

Alireza Karimi et al.

Summary: The stiffness of the trabecular meshwork is significantly higher in glaucoma eyes compared to healthy eyes, indicating differences in viscoelastic mechanical behavior. These findings shed light on the mechanical property distinctions in the outflow pathway of healthy and glaucomatous eyes under dynamic loading, potentially serving as a new biomarker for early diagnosis of glaucoma.

Multiomics analysis reveals the mechanical stress-dependent changes in trabecular meshwork cytoskeletal-extracellular matrix interactions

Avinash Soundararajan et al.

Summary: This study investigated the changes in signaling responses in trabecular meshwork (TM) cells subjected to mechanical stretch. The findings indicate that mechanical stretch enhances protein quality control, oxidative damage response, pro-autophagic signal, and induction of anti-apoptotic and survival signaling in TM cells. The study also suggests that increased ceramide and sphingomyelin signaling potentially contribute to increased TM stiffness, while increased phospholipids and diacylglycerol enable cell membrane remodeling and changes in signaling pathways affecting cellular contractility. Overall, this research highlights the mechanistic interplay of macromolecules in achieving mechanotransduction and intraocular pressure regulation in TM cells.

Iris stromal cell nuclei deform to more elongated shapes during pharmacologically-induced miosis and mydriasis

Neda Rashidi et al.

Summary: The study investigated nuclear shape alterations in iris tissue, finding an increase in nuclear aspect ratio after inducing iris deformation through activation of smooth muscles. The findings suggest the potential for using 3D reconstructions in future computational models to study primary angle-closure glaucoma, as they provide more physiologically realistic values compared to 2D projected images. Moreover, the study indicates that iris stromal cells are subjected to a biomechanically active micro-environment during their physiological function in response to ambient light.

Aqueous outflow regulation-21st century concepts

Murray Johnstone et al.

Summary: The article proposes an integrated model of aqueous outflow control using a pump-conduit system, drawing on physiological regulatory mechanisms to improve care for glaucoma patients. The model focuses on trabecular meshwork distention and recoil, with inlet and outlet valves controlling aqueous flow from Schlemm's canal. The failure of the aqueous outflow pump in glaucoma is attributed to loss of tissue elastance and alterations in ciliary body tension, leading to SC wall apposition and reduced pulsatile aqueous discharge. Monitoring these alterations clinically is challenging, but phase-sensitive OCT offers a noninvasive way to measure pulse-dependent TM motion in humans, providing a novel framework for understanding mechanisms and therapeutic options for glaucoma.
