Presbyopia is the progressive loss of the ability of the lens to focus on nearby objects due to its increased stiffness. It occurs in the mid-40s and continues to worsen until the mid-60s. The age-associated increase in protein cross-linking in the l

This review summarizes the latest findings on small heat shock proteins (sHsps) in three major retinal diseases: glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, and age-related macular degeneration. A general description of the structure and major cellular functions

With aging, human lenses lose the ability to focus on nearby objects due to decreases in accommodative ability, a condition known as presbyopia. An increase in stiffness or decrease in lens elasticity due to protein aggregation and insolubilization a

Transforming growth factor-β2 (TGFβ2)-mediated epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) in lens epithelial cells (LECs) has been implicated in fibrosis associated with secondary cataracts. In this study, we investigated whether the receptor for a

Proteins in the eye lens have negligible turnover and therefore progressively accumulate chemical modifications during aging. Carbonyls and oxidative stresses, which are intricately linked to one another, predominantly drive such modifications. Oxida

Lens proteins become increasingly cross-linked through nondisulfide linkages during aging and cataract formation. One mechanism that has been implicated in this cross-linking is glycation through formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs). H

The chaperone activity of α-crystallin is important for maintaining the transparency of the human lens. αB-crystallin (αBC) is a long-lived protein in the lens that accumulates chemical modifications during aging. The formation of advanced glycati

Background: Glaucoma is an optic neuropathy and involves the progressive degeneration of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), which leads to blindness in patients. We investigated the role of the neuroprotective kynurenic acid (KYNA) in RGC death against r

Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) accumulate with age in human lens capsules. AGEs in lens capsules potentiate the transforming growth factor beta-2-mediated mesenchymal transition of lens epithelial cells, which suggests that they play a role i
