  • Method for reducing intraocular pressure using integrin-linked kinase inhibitor
    Publication number: 20060212007
    Abstract: Methods for treating increased intraocular pressure by administering agents that interfere with activities of integrin-linked kinase. By interfering with the ability of integrin-linked kinase to couple integrin signaling to the actin cytoskeleton, aqueous humor outflow facility through the trabecular meshwork is increased and intraocular pressure is decreased.

  • Method for treating or preventing steroid-induced glaucoma
    Publication number: 20060212008
    Abstract: An integrin antagonist reduces the occurrence of cross-linked actin network (CLAN) structures in cells of the trabecular meshwork. CLAN structures are associated with steroid-induced glaucoma. Reduction in CLAN structures is associated with increased aqueous humor outflow facility from the trabecular meshwork.
