Abstract
Introduction Age-related diseases such as glaucoma, a leading cause of blindness, are having an upward trend due to an aging society. In glaucoma, some patients display altered antibody profiles and increased antibody titers, for example against heat shock protein 27 (HSP27). An intravitreal injection of HSP27 leads to glaucoma-like damage in rats. We now aimed to investigate if aged mice are more prone to this damage than younger ones. Methods We intravitreally injected HSP27 into young (1-2 months) and aged (7-8 months) mice to compare glaucomatous damage. Respective age-matched controls received PBS. Not injected eyes served as naive controls. Results Optical coherence tomography 4 weeks after injection showed no changes in retinal thickness in all groups at both ages. Cell counts and RT-qPCR revealed a significant reduction in RGC numbers in HSP27 mice at both ages. Comparing aged and young HSP27 mice, no differences in Rbpms and Pou4f1 (RGCs) expression was detected, while the Tubb3 expression (neuronal cells) was significantly upregulated in aged HSP27 animals. Neither microglia/macrophages nor (resident) microglia counts revealed significant differences in HSP27 mice at both ages. Nevertheless, increased relative Iba1 and Tmem119 expression was detected in young and aged HSP27 mice. Aged HSP27 mice displayed a significantly lower Iba1 expression than young ones, whereas Cd68 levels were upregulated. A larger GFAP+ area and an upregulation of GFAP expression in HSP27 animals of both ages indicated a macrogliosis. Also, elevated Il1b and Nos2 expression levels were observed in young and aged HSP27 mice. However, only Il1b levels were upregulated when comparing 7-8 months to 1-2 months old animals. A larger HSP25+ area was seen in aged HSP27 animals, while Hspb2 expression levels were downregulated in both HSP27 groups. The aged HSP27 group displayed an upregulated Hspb2 expression compared to young mice. Furthermore, a higher optic nerve degeneration score was noted in young and aged HSP27 groups. Discussion These findings indicate that an intravitreal injection of HSP27 led to RGC loss accompanied by inflammation. Age-dependent effects (7-8 months vs. 1-2 months) were not very prominent. The results suggest a potential role of extracellular HSP27 in the development of glaucoma.

Biochim Biophys Acta Gen Subj 2023:130426. [PMID: 37451477 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbagen.2023.130426] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/10/2023] [Revised: 06/29/2023] [Accepted: 07/07/2023] [Indexed: 07/18/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Increasing evidence suggests that glaucoma affects the ocular surface. We aimed to investigate the cellular mechanisms underlying the glaucoma-associated corneal alterations in an animal model. METHODS Wistar rats underwent the cauterization of two episcleral veins of the left eye to elevate the intraocular pressure (ipsilateral, G-IL). Control animals received a sham procedure (C-IL). Contralateral eyes did not receive any procedure (G-CL or C-CL). Enzymes related to the redox status, oxidative damage to macromolecules, and inflammatory markers were assessed in corneal lysates. RESULTS Compared to C-IL, NOX4, NOX2, and iNOS expression was increased in G-IL (68%, p < 0.01; 247%, p < 0.01; and 200%, p < 0.001, respectively). We found an increase in SOD activity in G-IL (60%, p < 0.05). The GSH/GSSG ratio decreased in G-IL (80%, p < 0.05), with a decrease in GR activity (40%, p < 0.05). G-IL displayed oxidative (90%, p < 0.01) and nitrosative (40%, p < 0.05) protein damage, and enhanced lipid peroxidation (100%, p < 0.01). G-IL group showed an increased in CD45, CD68 and F4/80 expression (50%, p < 0.05; 190%, p < 0.001 and 110%, p < 0.05, respectively). G-CL displayed a higher expression of Nrf2 (60%, p < 0.001) and increased activity of SOD, CAT, and GPx (60%, p < 0.05; 90%, p < 0.01; and 50%, p < 0.05, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Glaucoma induces a redox imbalance in the ipsilateral cornea with an adaptive response of the contralateral one. GENERAL SIGNIFICANCE Our study provides a possible mechanism involving oxidative stress and inflammation that explains the corneal alterations observed in glaucoma. We demonstrate that these changes extend not only to the ipsilateral but also to the contralateral cornea.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Crocetin is a bioactive ingredient in saffron, derived from the Crocus sativus stigmas of the Iridaceae family. As a chemically carotenoid derivative, crocetin exhibites effects like anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, neuroprotective, etc. However, the protective effect of crocetin on glaucoma and its mechanism remains unclear. The current study assesed the neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory effects of crocetin on retinal neurons in glaucoma rats which were induced by 0.3% carbomer injection into the anterior chamber. METHODS AND RESULTS The pathological structures on the retina and optic nerve were observed and examined by H&E staining and transmission electron microscopy. Immunohistochemical staining was used to detect the expression of TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 of the retina and the expression of a brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in the primary visual cortex (PVC). Western blot was carried out to detect the expression of PI3K, Akt, and NF-κB in the retina. It was found that crocetin ameliorated the pathological changes of the retina and ON and reduced the number of apoptotic retinal ganglion cells. Immunohistochemical staining showed that crocetin could decrease the contents of TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 and increase the contents of BDNF. Western blot showed that crocetin was found to suppress the expression of PI3K, Akt, and NF-κB. CONCLUSION The results obtained in this study have indicated that crocetin showes neuroprotective effects on retinal ganglion cells in glaucoma rats and inhibits retinal dysfunction. Meanwhile, crocetin exerted an anti-inflammatory effect to protect the retina by inhibiting the expression of the PI3K/Akt/NF-κB signaling pathway. This work provides substantial evidence that crocetin may be a potential drug for the treatment of glaucoma.

Abstract
As human life expectancy increases, age-related health issues including neurodegenerative diseases continue to rise. Regardless of genetic or environmental factors, many neurodegenerative conditions share common pathological mechanisms, such as oxidative stress, a hallmark of many age-related health burdens. In this review, we describe oxidative damage and mitochondrial dysfunction in glaucoma, an age-related neurodegenerative eye disease affecting 80 million people worldwide. We consider therapeutic approaches used to counteract oxidative stress in glaucoma, including untapped treatment options such as novel plant-derived antioxidant compounds that can reduce oxidative stress and prevent neuronal loss. We summarize the current pre-clinical models and clinical work exploring the therapeutic potential of a range of candidate plant-derived antioxidant compounds. Finally, we explore advances in drug delivery systems, particular those employing nanotechnology-based carriers which hold significant promise as a carrier for antioxidants to treat age-related disease, thus reviewing the key current state of all of the aspects required towards translation.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disease characterized by disturbances in carbohydrate, protein, and lipid metabolism, often accompanied by oxidative stress. Diabetes treatment is a complicated process in which, in addition to the standard pharmacological action, it is necessary to append a comprehensive approach. Introducing the aspect of non-pharmacological treatment of diabetes allows one to alleviate its many adverse complications. Therefore, it seems important to look for substances that, when included in the daily diet, can improve diabetic parameters. Magnolol, a polyphenolic compound found in magnolia bark, is known for its health-promoting activities and multidirectional beneficial effects on the body. Accordingly, the goal of this review is to systematize the available scientific literature on its beneficial effects on type 2 diabetes and its complications. Taking the above into consideration, the article collects data on the favorable effects of magnolol on parameters related to glycemia, lipid metabolism, or oxidative stress in the course of diabetes. After careful analysis of many scientific articles, it can be concluded that this lignan is a promising agent supporting the conventional therapies with antidiabetic drugs in order to manage diabetes and diabetes-related diseases.

Abstract
The death of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) is a key factor in the pathophysiology of all types of glaucoma, but the mechanism of pathogenesis of glaucoma remains unclear. RGCs are a group of central nervous system (CNS) neurons whose soma are in the inner retina. The axons of RGCs form the optic nerve and converge at the optic chiasma; from there, they project to the visual cortex via the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN). In recent years, there has been increasing interest in the dysfunction and death of CNS and retinal neurons caused by transneuronal degeneration of RGCs, and the view that glaucoma is a widespread neurodegenerative disease involving CNS damage appears more and more frequently in the literature. In this review, we summarize the current knowledge of LGN and visual cortex neuron damage in glaucoma and possible mechanisms behind the damage. This review presents an updated and expanded view of neuronal damage in glaucoma, and reveals new and potential targets for neuroprotection and treatment.

Abstract
Glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness worldwide, affecting ~80 million people by 2020 (1, 2). The condition is characterized by a progressive loss of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) and their axons accompanied by visual field loss. The underlying pathophysiology of glaucoma remains elusive. Glaucoma is recognized as a multifactorial disease, and lowering intraocular pressure (IOP) is the only treatment that has been shown to slow the progression of the condition. However, a significant number of glaucoma patients continue to go blind despite intraocular pressure-lowering treatment (2). Thus, the need for alternative treatment strategies is indisputable. Accumulating evidence suggests that glial cells play a significant role in supporting RGC function and that glial dysfunction may contribute to optic nerve disease. Here, we review recent advances in understanding the role of glial cells in the pathophysiology of glaucoma. A particular focus is on the dynamic and essential interactions between glial cells and RGCs and potential therapeutic approaches to glaucoma by targeting glial cells.

Abstract
Glaucoma is a neurodegenerative disease that affects eye structures and brain areas related to the visual system. Oxidative stress plays a key role in the development and progression of the disease. The aims of the present study were to evaluate the mitochondrial function and its participation in the brain redox metabolism in an experimental glaucoma model. 3-month-old female Wistar rats were subjected to cauterization of two episcleral veins of the left eye to elevate the intraocular pressure. Seven days after surgery, animals were sacrificed, the brain was carefully removed and the primary visual cortex was dissected. Mitochondrial bioenergetics and ROS production, and the antioxidant enzyme defenses from both mitochondrial and cytosolic fractions were evaluated. When compared to control, glaucoma decreased mitochondrial ATP production (23%, p < 0.05), with an increase in superoxide and hydrogen peroxide production (30%, p < 0.01 and 28%, p < 0.05, respectively), whereas no changes were observed in membrane potential and oxygen consumption rate. In addition, the glaucoma group displayed a decrease in complex II activity (34%, p < 0.01). Moreover, NOX4 expression was increased in glaucoma compared to the control group (27%, p < 0.05). Regarding the activity of enzymes associated with the regulation of the redox status, glaucoma showed an increase in mitochondrial SOD activity (34%, p < 0.05), mostly due to an increase in Mn-SOD (50%, p < 0.05). A decrease in mitochondrial GST activity was observed (11%, p < 0.05). GR and TrxR activity were decreased in both mitochondrial (16%, p < 0.05 and 20%, p < 0.05 respectively) and cytosolic (21%, p < 0.01 and 50%, p < 0.01 respectively) fractions in the glaucoma group. Additionally, glaucoma showed an increase in cytoplasmatic GPx (50%, p < 0.01). In this scenario, redox imbalance took place resulting in damage to mitochondrial lipids (39%, p < 0.01) and proteins (70%, p < 0.05). These results suggest that glaucoma leads to mitochondrial function impairment in brain visual targets, that is accompanied by an alteration in both mitochondrial and cytoplasmatic enzymatic defenses. As a consequence of redox imbalance, oxidative damage to macromolecules takes place and can further affect vital cellular functions. Understanding the role of the mitochondria in the development and progression of the disease could bring up new neuroprotective therapies.
