Vitro Effect

The success of glaucoma filtration surgery depends mainly on an incomplete wound healing process in the area of the fistula. Since Kornblueth and Tenenbaum's investigations in 1956 it has been known that aqueous humour has intrinsic antiproliferative properties. It is assumed that ascorbic acid is involved in the regulation of the wound healing process after filtration surgery. To evaluate the antiproliferative effect of ascorbic acid in vitro, we used cultured fibroblasts of bovine Tenon's capsule and bovine sclera. Incubation of these cells with ascorbic acid at concentrations ranging from 0.5 to 3 mM/L led to dose-dependent inhibition of cell proliferation. The half-maximal inhibitory concentration was 1.0 mM/L for both cell types. Physiological concentrations of ascorbic acid may be valuable in the pharmacological prevention of failure of glaucoma filtration surgery. However, extensive clinical investigations are needed to clarify whether topical intraoperative or postoperative as well as oral administration of ascorbic acid inhibits fibroblast proliferation after glaucoma filtration surgery.

Abstract To clarify the early alterations of gene expression using a mouse model of glaucoma filtration surgery, we carried out microarray expression analysis. Using BALB/c mice, a filtration surgery model was made by incision of the limbal conjunctiva, followed by the insertion of a 33G needle tip into the anterior chamber, and 11-0 nylon sutures. Subgroups of mice were treated intraoperatively with 0.4 mg/ml mitomycin-C (MMC). At day 3 after surgery the bleb was maintained. The bleb region tissue was sampled 3 days after the filtration surgery, and gene expression analysis was carried out using a mouse Agilent 8 × 60 K array. We found 755 hyperexpressed transcripts in the bleb region compared to control conjunctiva. The hyperexpressed transcripts included epithelial cell metaplasia-related (Il1b, Krt16, Sprr1b), inflammation-related (Ccl2, Il6) and wound healing-related (Lox, Timp1) genes. We also found downregulation of a goblet cell marker gene (Gp2) in the bleb conjunctiva. MMC treatment suppressed elastin (Eln) gene expression and enhanced keratinization-related gene expression (Krt1, Lor) in the bleb region. Our results suggest the importance of epithelial wound healing after filtration surgery, and this filtration surgery model will be a useful tool for further pathophysiological analysis.

Purpose To evaluate and compare the effectiveness of two adhesion barriers, Interceed and Seprafilm, on wound healing reaction after glaucoma filtration surgery. Materials and Methods Full-thickness filtration surgery was carried out on three groups, each containing four rabbits. Interceed and Seprafilm prepared in 3×4 mm dimensions was put on and around scleral opening in Groups 1 and 2, respectively. All groups received tobramycin and dexamethasone drops tid for 14 days. Intraocular pressure (IOP), anterior chamber depth, and bleb appearance were checked on the first, third, seventh, and 14th days. The rabbits were killed on the 14th day and the trabeculectomy area with overlying conjunctiva was excised. The samples were fixed with 10% formalin, buried in paraffin, and stained with hematoxylin and eosin. The surgical site and surrounding subconjunctival area were evaluated histopathologically for cell counts (fibroblast, lymphocyte, eosinophil, and macrophage), presence of edema and foreign body reaction, and potency of the fistula tract. Results Mean IOP at the first and third day examinations was significantly different between groups, but there was no statistically significant difference among the groups with respect to IOP, anterior chamber depth, or bleb appearance at the seventh and 14th days. The groups were similar with respect to number of fibroblasts, eosinophils, and neutrophils. Number of macrophages was significantly increased in Groups 1 and 2 and number of vessels was significantly decreased in Group 1. Conclusions Neither of these two adhesion-preventing substances seems to suppress wound healing reaction after glaucoma filtration surgery. However, a diminished wound healing reaction was expected with a decreased number of vessels, such as in Group 1. Increased number of macrophages in both groups may result in a decreased level of some inflammatory mediators.
