EFFECTS OF COPPER DEPLETION AND D-PENICILLAMINE TREATMENT ON THE OCULAR INFLAMMATORY RESPONSE

AGENTS AND ACTIONS, 34(3-4), 405–409.

By: M. Mcgahan  n, L. Fleisher n & A. Grimes n

MeSH headings : Animals; Antioxidants; Aqueous Humor / metabolism; Ceruloplasmin / metabolism; Copper / deficiency; Copper / metabolism; Endophthalmitis / metabolism; Endophthalmitis / pathology; Free Radicals; Penicillamine / pharmacology; Rabbits
TL;DR: Rabbits placed on a copper (Cu)-deficient diet for four weeks had lower plasma Cu concentration, ferroxidase activity, and antioxidant activity than rabbits fed an identical Cu-adequate basel diet and it is likely that ceruloplasmin plays a protective role in the intraocular inflammatory response.

OCULAR INFLAMMATORY EFFECTS OF INTRAVITREALLY INJECTED TUMOR NECROSIS FACTOR-ALPHA AND ENDOTOXIN

INFLAMMATION, 14(3), 325–335.

By: L. Fleisher n, J. Ferrell n & M. Mcgahan  n

TL;DR: Intravitreal injection of human recombinant tumor necrosis factor-alpha induced inflammation in the rabbit eye characterized by dilation of blood vessels in the iris, disruption of the blood-ocular barriers, infiltration of inflammatory cells into the anterior chamber, and accumulation of prostaglandin E in intraocular fluids differed from that reported for intravitreally injected endotoxin in terms of time course and the types ofinflammatory cells in the aqueous humor.

CLINICAL SIGNS OF ACUTE OCULAR INFLAMMATORY RESPONSE TO ENDOTOXIN ARE NOT ALTERED BY INCREASING ANTIOXIDANT POTENCY OF INTRAOCULAR FLUIDS

INFLAMMATION, 13(4), 393–400.

By: M. Mcgahan  n, L. Fleisher n & A. Grimes n

MeSH headings : Animals; Antioxidants; Aqueous Humor / metabolism; Ceruloplasmin / metabolism; Copper / blood; Copper / pharmacology; Endotoxins / toxicity; Rabbits; Transferrin / metabolism; Uveitis / physiopathology
TL;DR: Increased intraocular fluid antioxidant activity did not affect the acute anterior segment response to endotoxin, and it is possible that the time course and resolution of the response is altered by changes in extracellular fluid antioxidants activity. (via Semantic Scholar)

DIMETHYLTHIOUREA INHIBITS THE INFLAMMATORY RESPONSE TO INTRAVITREALLY-INJECTED ENDOTOXIN

EXPERIMENTAL EYE RESEARCH, 48(4), 561–567.

TL;DR: The ability of dimethylthiourea to significantly inhibit the inflammatory response to intravitreally-injected endotoxin suggests that toxic oxygen metabolites may play an important role in the initiation and/or propagation of this form of acute anterior uveitis. (via Semantic Scholar)

Ferroxidase activity increases dramatically in the aqueous humor during the ocular inflammatory response

Ophthalmic Research, 21, 221–225.

TL;DR: Plasma copper transport protein ceruloplasmin (plasma ferroxidase) entered the inflamed aqueous humor from plasma through disrupted blood ocular barriers and would facilitate the removal of potentially damaging, free radical generating Fe+2.2. (via Semantic Scholar)

Inflammation-induced changes in the concentration of iron and total-iron-binding capacity in the intraocular fluids of rabbits

Graefes Archive for Clinical and Experimental Ophthalmology, 226, 27–30.

MeSH headings : Animals; Aqueous Humor / metabolism; Endophthalmitis / chemically induced; Endophthalmitis / metabolism; Eye / metabolism; Iron / analysis; Iron / blood; Iron / metabolism; Rabbits; Transferrin / metabolism; Vitreous Body / metabolism
TL;DR: The influx of the partially saturated plasma protein transferrin through disrupted blood-ocular barriers most likely accounts for the increased TIBC in the inflamed eye and could provide some protection against the potentially harmful effects of Fe arising from tissue necrosis and hemolysis subsequent to hemorrhage.
