| الوصف: | Abstract To establish appropriate ex vivo models for a glaucomatous trabecular meshwork (TM), two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) cultures of human trabecular meshwork cells (HTM) were prepared in the presence of 250 nM dexamethasone (DEX) or 5 ng/mL TGFβ2, and characterized by the following analyses; transendothelial electrical resistance (TEER) measurements, FITC dextran permeability, scanning electron microscopy and the expression of the extracellular matrix (ECM) including collagen (COL)1, 4 and 6, and fibronectin (FN), α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase (TIMP)1–4, and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)2, 9 and 14. DEX and TGFβ2 both caused a significant increase or decrease in the TEER values and FITC dextran permeability. During the 3D spheroid culture, DEX or TGFβ2 induced a mild and significant down-sizing and an increase in stiffness, respectively. TGFβ2 induced a significant up-regulation of COL1 and 4, FN, α-SMA, and MMP 2 and 14 (2D) or COL1 and 6, and TIMP2 and 3 (3D), and DEX induced a significant up-regulation of FN (3D) and TIMP4 (2D and 3D). The findings presented herein indicate that DEX or TGFβ2 resulted in mild and severe down-sized and stiff 3D HTM spheroids, respectively, thus making them viable in vitro HTM models for steroid-induced and primary open angle glaucoma. |
