Current understanding of conventional outflow dysfunction in glaucoma
Open accessAbstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Regulation of intraocular pressure by the conventional (trabecular) outflow pathway is complicated, involving a myriad of mechanical and chemical signals. In most, intraocular pressure is maintained within a tight range over a lifetime. Unfortunately in some, dysfunction results in ocular hypertension and open-angle glaucoma. In the context of established knowledge, this review summarizes recent investigations of conventional outflow function, with the goal of identifying areas for future inquiry and therapeutic targeting. RECENT FINDINGS: Mechanical stimulation of conventional outflow cells due to intraocular pressure fluctuations impacts contractility, gene expression, pore formation, enzyme activity, and signaling. Numerous local signaling mediators in the conventional pathway such as bioactive lipids, cytokines, nitric oxide, and nucleotides participate in the regulation of outflow. Interestingly outflow through the conventional pathway is not uniform, but segmental, with passageways constantly changing due to focal protease activity of trabecular cells clearing extracellular matrix materials. The relationship between extracellular matrix expression and trabecular meshwork contractility appears to coordinately impact outflow resistance and is the target of a new class of drugs, the Rho kinase inhibitors. SUMMARY: The conventional outflow pathway is a dynamic, pressure-sensitive tissue that is vulnerable to pathology on many fronts, each representing a therapeutic opportunity.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
