| Research Abstract |
The role of neutrophil elastase (NE) on the disturbance of retinal microcirculation was investigated. NE antagonist reduced the uveitis score in endotoxin-induced uveitis (EIU) model. It also suppressed the retinal injury caused by retinal ischemia-reperfusion. The accumulation of leukocytes in the retina was reduced in those models when NE was administrated. NE plays an important roles to increase tissue injury as well as the dynamics of leukocyte in retinal microcirculation.
