Neovascular glaucoma regulation by arylsulfonyl indoline-benzamide (ASIB) through targeting NF-kB signalling pathway
Lei X; Zhao Y3 Biotech 2019; 9: 211
The present study investigated the effect of arylsulfonyl indoline-benzamide (ASIB) on neovascular glaucoma in the mice model in vivo. In the mice model of glaucoma, ASIB treatment significantly ( < 0.05) increased PDGF-B-positive cell count in the corneal tissues. ASIB treatment at 5, 10, 15 and 20 mg/kg doses raised the level of PDGF-B mRNA in the mice cornea by 2.3-, 3.8-, 5.4- and 5.5-fold, respectively. Pre-treatment of the glaucoma mice with ASIB leads to inhibition of TNF-α and IL-6 production. In the glaucoma mice, treatment with ASIB leads to a marked decrease in the level of NOD2 mRNA and protein. ASIB treatment caused a significant decrease in the glaucoma-induced up-regulation of NF-κB p65 activation. The phosphorylation of NF-κB p65 was almost completely inhibited in the glaucoma mice on treatment with 15 mg/kg dose of ASIB. ASIB exhibited inhibitory effect on glaucoma-induced inflammatory cytokine and oxidative factor damage in the mice. It caused up-regulation of PDGF expression and down-regulated NF-κB activation. Therefore, ASIB can be of therapeutic significance for neovascular glaucoma treatment. However, more studies need to be performed to fully understand the molecular mechanism of ASIB in glaucoma treatment.
