Objectives:
Increased intraocular pressure (IOP) is a significant risk factor for primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG). Physiologically, the trabecular meshwork (TM) controls IOP and the secretion of aqueous humor. A change in resistance to aqueous outflow is related to the phagocytic ability of trabecular meshwork cells (TMCs); in addition, alterations in extracellular matrix can also affect the function of TMCs. However, their application has certain limitations due to the nondirected differentiation and tumorigenic effect of stem cells, while their exosomes can reduce side effects and exert the same effects.
Methods:
The effects of mesenchymal stem cell exosomes on the extracellular environment and the function of human trabecular meshwork cells were observed, and glaucomato-related proteins as well as the NRF2 signaling pathway were detected.
Key Findings And Conclusions:
The exosomes could improve the phagocytosis of TMCs, reduce the damage, and lead to some changes in the pathways related to oxidative stress.
