Outline of Final Research Achievements

We performed retrograde-labeling of these cells with 4Di-10ASP in adult mice 7 days after NC, purified the RGCs with fluorescence-activated cell sorting. Gene expression in the cells was determined with a microarray, and the expression of Ho-1 was determined with quantitative PCR (QPCR). The microarray and QPCR analyses showed increased expression of Ho-1 in the post-NC RGCs. Immunohistochemistry also showed that HO-1 positive cells were present in the ganglion cell layerafter NC.
To evaluate the association between ocular blood flow and biomarkers of systemic oxidative stress, as well as the potential of these biomarkers to assess normal-tension glaucoma (NTG). This study included 73 eyes of 73 patients with NTG.Urinary 8-OHdG were both correlated with tissue-area MBR (P = 0.010, respectively).We suggest that systemic oxidative stress is associated with decreased ocular blood flow and may be involved in the pathogenesis of NTG.
