Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Glaucoma is a progressive neurodegenerative disease in which the optic nerve is damaged and visual field defect is induced. In the previous study, we showed that alpha 2 macroglobulin (a2M) acts as an interfering factor in the optic nerve protective effect of glia-derived apolipoprotein E-containing lipoproteins (E-LP). In this study, we elucidated the mechanism by which E-LP suppresses a2M expression in retinal glia, and it is possible to provide an environment in which E-LP can indirectly exert the optic nerve protective effect by reducing this interfering factor a2M.
