BACKGROUND: To immunohistochemically examine the localization of the extracellular matrix (ECM) in the trabecular meshwork (TM) in steroid-induced glaucoma (SG) specimens.
METHODS: We morphologically and immunohistochemically examined six trabecular tissues from three eyes with SG, two with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG), and one without glaucoma. For the morphological study, the ultra-microtome sections were observed using an electron microscope. For the light microscopic immunohistochemical analyses, frozen sections were stained by the avidin-biotin complex method using anti-type IV collagen, anti-type VI collagen, anti-heparan sulfate proteoglycan (HSPG), anti-fibronectin or anti-myocilin (MYOC) antibody.
RESULTS: The morphological examinations revealed accumulations of basement membrane-like and fine fibrillar-like materials in the outer TM of SG specimen. Type IV collagen, HSPG and fibronectin antibodies in SG specimens showed a greater degree of staining in the outer TM in comparison to the POAG and non-glaucomatous specimens; in contrast, the other antibodies including the type VI collagen and MYOC, did not.
CONCLUSIONS: The localization of ECMs in the TM is different in SG in comparison to that in POAG patients.
