Project description:Glucocorticoids with different chemical structures but similar glucocorticoid receptor potency regulate subsets of common and unique genes in human trabecular meshwork cells. Gene expression changes of human trabecular meshwork cells, TM 86 and TM 93, due to treatment with dexamethasone (Dex), fluocinolone acetonide (FA), and triamcinolone acetonide (TA).
Project description:Trabecular meshwork cells in eyes with glaucoma aquire mesenchymal phenotypes. The types of microRNAs in exosomes may differ between static and glaucomatous status and their effects on aqueous humor regulation are still uknown. We used microarrays to identify the differential microRNA expression related to interaction between trabecular meshwork cells and Schlemm's canal endothelial cells.
