The present study provides evidence that growth factor-like glycerophosphate mediators of the lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) family are present in the aqueous humor and the lacrimal gland fluid of the rabbit eye. By use of a combination of HPLC, two-dimensional TLC, mass spectrometry, and the Xenopus oocyte bioassay, the LPA-like phospholipids LPA, cyclic PA, alkenyl-glycerophosphate (GP), lysophosphatidylserine, and phosphatidic acid were detected as physiological constituents of the fluids bathing the cornea. Corneal injury resulted in an increased production of some of these mediators. Alkenyl-GP, a novel member of the LPA family, has been identified in postinjury aqueous humor, establishing that it is generated endogenously. LPA and its homologues were found to be mitogenic in freshly dissociated keratocytes from uninjured corneas. There appears to be a link between the occurrence of LPA responsiveness in keratocytes activated by injury and the increase in LPA-like activity in aqueous humor. These data suggest that LPA and its homologues are involved in maintaining the integrity of the normal cornea and in promoting cellular regeneration of the injured cornea.

Fluid Solid Interaction

In order to investigate the aqueous humor flow based on the coupling effects of fluid–solid–heat under different ocular pressure, four models of rabbit eye were constructed and multi-field coupling vs. fluid–solid interaction was compared in these models. ADINA software was applied to mimic the aqueous humor flow. The contour of temperature demonstrates multiple peaks with larger value near the pupil. The flow pattern is influenced mainly by the variation of ocular pressure. It is necessary to perform multi-field coupling simulation based on dynamic pressure measurement when studying the aqueous humor flow in eyes.

AbstractThe present report describes the improved ocular retention and aqueous humoral drug availability of ganciclovir (GCV) when administered via topical instillation of different kind of nanoparticles onto the rabbit eye. GCV was loaded into PLGA nanoparticles, chitosan-coated nanoparticles and chitosan-coated niosomal nanoparticles. All three formulations contained nanoparticles equally round in shape with a mean particle size in the range of 180–200 nm. The ocular corneal retention property was evaluated by gamma scintigraphy, revealing that the clearance was slowest in the case of the chitosan-containing formulations. GCV in chitosan-coated PLGA nanoparticles and chitosan-coated niosomal nanoparticles showed approx. 6-fold higher aqueous humor drug availability as compared to a GCV solution and nearly 2.5-fold higher as compared to the chitosan-lacking GCV-PLGA nanoparticles. The results indicate that the use of a mucoadhesive chitosan coating can improve the ocular residence time and aqueous humoral availability of GCV when administered topically in nanoparticles.

Aqueous Outflow

When fluoresceinated dextran (FD) is injected into the vitreous body of the rabbit, it diffuses out of the eye through the anterior chamber so that the ratio of its concentration in the aqueous to that in the vitreous humor remains constant. The rate of loss of the substance from the eye suggests that the vitreous body is stagnant. After penetrating the vitreous body with a 25-gauge needle through the sclera, the FD fluorescence in the aqueous humor is reduced by a factor of three times on the average. This appears to be because the loss of fluid out of the scleral hole sets up a backward seepage of fluid through the anterior vitreous body, which opposes the diffusion of dextran into the anterior chamber. In contrast, making a needle hole has little effect on the level of sulforhodamine B, a more rapidly diffusing molecule, when it has been injected into the vitreous body, and none at all when it has been introduced into the cornea. The changes in the flow across the aqueous-vitreous interface, as well as the changes in aqueous outflow after an experimental intervention to the eye, may be estimated from a comparison of the changes in fluorescence in the anterior chamber of large and small molecular weight compounds injected into the vitreous body.
