Connective Tissue Growth Factor Causes Glaucoma by Modifying the Actin Cytoskeleton of the Trabecular Meshwork

TL;DR: Connective tissue growth factor overexpression in the mouse eye increases intraocular pressure and leads to optic nerve damage, and the effects of CTGF on IOP appear to be caused by a modification of the TM actin cytoskeleton.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lack of endothelial diaphragms in fenestrae and caveolae of mutant Plvap-deficient mice.

TL;DR: Plasmalemmal vesicle-associated protein (PLVAP, PV-1) is specifically expressed in endothelial cells in which it localizes to diaphragms of fenestrae, caveolae, and transendothelial channels, and its function was learned by generating mutant mice that lack PLVAP.
Journal ArticleDOI

The TGF-β System As a Potential Pathogenic Player in Disease Modulation of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis.

TL;DR: There is an upregulated TGF-β system in specific tissues in ALS that might lead to a “neurotoxic” immune response, promoting disease progression and neurodegeneration, and this system may represent a promising target in treatment of ALS patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

The regulation of connective tissue growth factor expression influences the viability of human trabecular meshwork cells

TL;DR: The beneficial effect of CTGF for viability of TM cells is likely associated with the effects on increased ECM synthesis and higher contractility of the TM, thereby contributing to reduced aqueous humour outflow facility causing increased intraocular pressure.
