Abstract

Rho-associated protein kinase (ROCK), a ubiquitously expressed signaling messenger and downstream effector of Rho, is activated by several bioactive factors in the aqueous humor (AH). Rho-ROCK signaling regulates a wide spectrum of fundamental cellular events, including cell adhesion, motility, proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. Previous studies, including our own, found that ROCK inhibitor lowers intraocular pressure (IOP) via a direct effect on the conventional AH outflow pathway, by regulation of contractile properties, fibrotic activity, and permeability of the trabecular meshwork (TM) and Schlemm’s canal (SC) tissues, influencing extracellular matrix (ECM) production. Recently, a novel ROCK inhibitor, ripasudil, has been introduced in Japan. Other ROCK inhibitors are now in clinical trials as new IOP-lowering drugs for glaucoma patients. To date, ripasudil, administered together with other glaucoma medications, has proved safe and efficient in lowering IOP as well as additional effects such as prostaglandin analogs, beta-blockers, and carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, all of which help lower IOP by different mechanisms. In addition, we found that long-term treatment with ripasudil exerted an additional IOP-lowering effect, especially in eyes with high IOP, suggesting that late-onset remodeling of the ECM in glaucomatous eyes may elicit mild and delayed changes in IOP levels. ROCK inhibitors have also shown several additional effects, including increased retinal blood flow, direct protection of neurons against various types of stress, and regulation of wound healing; these benefits may potentially be useful in glaucoma treatment.

Metastase in der periokulären Region

Metastasen Leitthema

Orbitale und periokuläre metastatische Tumoren galten früher als sehr selten. Aber mit der ständigen Aktualisierung von Medikamenten und Nachweismethoden für die Krebsbehandlung werden neue Chemotherapien und Strahlenbehandlungen eingesetzt. Die …

Staging und Systemtherapie bei okulären und periokulären Metastasen

Metastasen Leitthema

Metastasen bösartiger Erkrankungen sind die häufigsten Tumoren, die im Auge diagnostiziert werden. Sie treten bei ungefähr 5–10 % der Patienten mit soliden Tumoren im Verlauf der Erkrankung auf. Besonders häufig sind diese beim Mammakarzinom und …

Wundheilung nach Trabekulektomie

Trabekulektomie CME-Artikel

Die überschießende Wundheilung in der filtrierenden Glaukomchirurgie ist ein zentraler Faktor für ein operatives Versagen. Nach der Einführung der Trabekulektomie in den 1960er-Jahren wurden viele Faktoren erkannt, die mit einer vermehrten …

„standard operating procedures“ (SOP) – Vorschlag zum therapeutischen Management bei periokulären sowie intraokulären Metastasen

Metastasen Leitthema

Peri- sowie intraokuläre Metastasen sind insgesamt gesehen selten und meist Zeichen einer fortgeschrittenen primären Tumorerkrankung. Die Therapie ist daher zumeist palliativ und selten kurativ. Zudem ist die Therapiefindung sehr individuell. Die …
