摘要:
The present invention provides a method for lowering intraocular pressure and providing neuroprotection to a patient in need thereof by administering a therapeutically effective amount of at least one non-nucleotide or non-protein agent that inhibits expression and/or signaling of lysyl oxidase (LOX) or a lysyl oxidase-like protease (LOXL).
摘要:
The present invention provides methods for identifying a patient at risk for developing AMD by identifying the presence of the Y402H polymorphism or other at risk variants in the complement factor H gene. The present invention further provides methods for treating persons having AMD or at risk for developing AMD as a result of having the Y402H polymorphism or other at risk variants in the complement factor H gene.
摘要:
RNA interference is provided for inhibition of ocular hypertension target mRNA expression for lowering elevated intraocular pressure in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. Ocular hypertension targets include carbonic anhydrase II, IV, and XII; β1- and β2 adrenergic receptors; acetylcholinesterase; Na+/K+-ATPase; and Na—K-2Cl cotransporter. Ocular hypertension is treated by administering interfering RNAs of the present invention.

The present invention provides a method for lowering intraocular pressure and providing neuroprotection to a patient in need thereof by administering a therapeutically effective amount of at least one non-nucleotide or non-protein agent that inhibits expression and/or signaling of connective tissue growth factor (CTGF).
摘要:
Compositions containing inhibitors of cathepsin K (CTSK) expression and/or activity are provided. Methods for the treatment of glaucoma using the compositions of the invention are further provided.
摘要:
The present invention provides a method for lowering intraocular pressure and providing neuroprotection to a patient in need thereof by administering a therapeutically effective amount of at least one agent that inhibits binding and/or signaling of connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) via the TrkA/p75NTR receptor complex.

摘要:
The short form version of c-Maf transcription factor is up-regulated in steroid-treated and transforming growth factor beta2-treated trabecular meshwork cells, and is present at elevated levels in glaucomatous versus normal trabecular meshwork cells and in glaucomatous versus normal optic nerve head tissue. Expression of short form c-Maf transcription factor under these conditions indicates a causal or effector role for the factor in primary open-angle and steroid-induced glaucoma pathogenesis. Antagonism of short form c-Maf transcription factor expression and/or activity in the trabecular meshwork or other ocular tissue is provided for inhibiting or alleviating glaucoma pathogenesis. Antagonists include cyclin-dependent kinase 2 inhibitors.
摘要:
The invention provides pharmaceutical compositions containing non-feminizing estrogen and methods of using these compositions to prevent or ameliorate retinal and optic nerve damage associated with glaucoma.
