Journal ArticleDOI
GLP-1 Receptor Agonist NLY01 Reduces Retinal Inflammation and Neuron Death Secondary to Ocular Hypertension
Jacob Sterling,Modupe O Adetunji,Samyuktha Guttha,Albert Bargoud,Katherine E. Uyhazi,Ahmara G. Ross,Joshua L. Dunaief,Qi N. Cui +7 more
TL;DR: Using a mouse model of glaucoma, it is demonstrated that ocular hypertension is sufficient to trigger production of C1q, interleukin-1 α (IL-1α), and tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), three cytokines necessary and sufficient to drive the formation of A1 astrocytes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oral administration of the iron chelator deferiprone protects against loss of retinal ganglion cells in a mouse model of glaucoma
TL;DR: DFP administration was protective against RGC and optic nerve loss in the setting of elevated IOP, suggesting that iron chelation by DFP may provide glaucoma neuroprotection.
Journal ArticleDOI

Van Stavern,Ernest Puckett,Mohammed Rigi,Ignacia García-Basterra,Madhura A. Tamhankar +23 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that most patients with diplopia from GCA have concerning systemic symptoms and/or elevated inflammatory markers that should trigger further work-up and careful ophthalmoscopic examination should be performed to look for presence of ocular ischemic lesions in older patients presenting with acute diPlopia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Learning from Black/African American Participants: Applying the Integrated Behavioral Model to Assess Recruitment Strategies for a Glaucoma Genetic Study.
Ava Kikut,Mohima Sanyal,Marquis Vaughn,Katherine E. Ridley-Merriweather,Katharine J. Head,Rebecca Salowe,Sara Lomax-Reese,Monica Lewis,Ahmara G. Ross,Qi N. Cui,Victoria Addis,Prithvi S. Sankar,Eydie Miller-Ellis,Joan M. O'Brien +13 more
TL;DR: For example, the authors conducted phone interviews with 50 African American adults from Philadelphia who had previously participated in a genetic study of glaucoma that included complimentary ophthalmic screenings.

TL;DR: Genetic analysis of the largest-ever deeply phenotyped African American population is reported, identifying a novel POAG-associated SNP on chromosome 11 near the TRIM66 gene (rs112369934); this new loci deepen the understanding of the pathophysiology of POAG in African Americans.
