Time and dose dependent effects of Renin Angiotensin System inhibitors on Extracellular Matrix Deposition and Modulating Enzymes in Dexamethasone Treated Human Trabecular Meshwork Cells / Nurul Ainsya Bakry

Trabecular meshwork remodeling leads to aqueous humor outflow resistance and increases in intraocular pressure, one of the major risk factors for glaucoma. Trabecular meshwork remodeling is associated with excessive deposition of extracellular matrix components such as collagen, fibronectin, and α-s...

Human trabecular meshwork cells were cultured in Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's medium, dexamethasone 10⁻⁷ M, or dexamethasone 10⁻⁷ M with enalaprilat dihydrate or losartan potassium in concentrations of 10⁻⁴, 10⁻⁵, 10⁻⁶ , and 10⁻⁷ M.
