Abstract
The results demonstrated that RGC apoptosis in glaucoma correlates strongly with elevated IOP and is significantly associated with IOP-induced changes in specific ECM components in the RGC layer. The study shows for the first time a link between MMP-9, laminin degradation, RGC apoptosis, and IOP exposure in glaucoma. The findings suggest that abnormal ECM remodeling in the glaucomatous retina may relate to RGC death and support the notion that the retina is a primary site of injury in glaucoma.
