- W1957615167 abstract "Purpose: To review the current literature regarding the role of matricellular proteins in glaucoma, specifically in the lamina cribrosa (LC) region of the optic nerve head (ONH) and the trabecular meshwork (TM). Methods: A literature search was performed for published articles describing the expression and function of matricellular proteins such as thrombospondin (TSP), connective tissue growth factor (CTGF), secreted protein acidic and rich in cysteine (SPARC), and periostin in glaucoma. Results: In glaucoma, there are characteristic extracellular matrix (ECM) changes associated with optic disc cupping in the ONH and subsequent visual field defects. Matricellular proteins are a family of nonstructural secreted glycoproteins, which enable cells to communicate with their surrounding ECM, including CTGF, also known as CCN2, TSPs, SPARC, periostin, osteonectin, and tenascin-C and -X, and other ECM proteins. Such proteins appear to play a role in fibrosis and increased ECM deposition. Importantly, most are widely expressed in tissues particularly in the TM and ONH, and deficiency of TSP1 and SPARC has been shown to lower intraocular pressure in mouse models of glaucoma through enhanced outflow facility. Conclusion: This article highlights the role of matricellular proteins in glaucoma pathology. The potential role of these proteins in glaucoma is emerging as some have an association with the pathophysiology of the TM and LC region and might therefore be potential targets for therapeutic intervention in glaucoma." @default.
