Activation of a tissue-specific stress response in the aqueous outflow pathway of the eye defines the glaucoma disease phenotype
Article Abstract:
Issues related to the finding that endothelial leukocyte adhesion molecule-1 (ELAM-1) is a marker for the vasculature atherosclerotic plaque related to glaucoma are examined. Topics include the presence of ELAM-1 on trabecular meshwork (TM) cells, the nature of ELAM-1 expression, and the role of interleukin -1 in the aqueous outflow.

Extracellular carbonic anhydrase mediates hemorrhagic retinal and cerebral vascular permeability through prekallikrein activation
Article Abstract:
Mass spectroscopy-based proteomics is used to detect 117 proteins in human vitreous and elevated levels of extracellular carbonic anhydrase-I (CA-I) in vitreous from individuals with diabetic retinopathy. The inhibition of extracellular CA-I and kallikrein-mediated innate inflammation might provide new therapeutic opportunities for treating the hemorrhage-induced retinal and cerebral edema.
