Project description:To better understand the molecular changes in the aqueous humor (AH) content with glaucoma, we analyzed the microRNA (miRNA) profiles of AH samples from patients with Primary Open Angle Glaucoma (POAG) and Exfoliation Glaucoma (XFG) compared to non-glaucoma controls.
Project description:Long non-coding RNAs were associated with the development and progression of glaucoma. Our study aim to identify the potential genes in human trabecular meshwork related to primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG).
Project description:MicroRNAs were associated with the development and progression of glaucoma. Our study aims to identify the potential miRNAs and target genes in human trabecular meshwork related to primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG).
Project description:This study compared genome-wide expression profiles of individuals with and without Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma (POAG). One POAG case (case #6 with two replicates #10 and #11) carried a Q368X myocilin mutation.
Project description:This study reports the first characterization of the intracellular proteome of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) isolated from subjects diagnosed with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG)by shot-gun proteomics. Glaucoma is a chronic optic neuropathy and among the first causes of irreversible blindness on a global scale. Several recent data have pointed out alterations of immune system processes in glaucoma subjects. Very recently, oxygen consumption rate (OCR) and NAD levels have been proposed as biomarkers of disease severity.
Project description:The changes in the trabecular meshwork in steroid-induced glaucoma are similar to those in human primary open-angle glaucoma. To explore the changes in the trabecular meshwork in POAG, we extracted RNA from human trabecular meshwork cells with or without dexamethasone, followed by next-generation transcriptome sequencing to observe changes in gene expression in trabecular meshwork cells, thereby better understanding the mechanism of increased IOP.
