Popis: AIM: To directly quantify peroxynitrite (ONOO-) using a highly sensitive fluorescence resonance energy transfer probe RN-NA, investigate the association between ONOO- and primary open angle glaucoma (POAG), and clarify whether RN-NA could be used as a potential tool for POAG diagnosis. METHODS: Plasma and aqueous humor (AH) samples were collected from POAG patients (n=100, age: 59.70±6.87y) and age-related cataract (ARC) patients (n=100, age: 61.15±4.60y) admitted to our hospital. Next, RN-NA was used to detect ONOO- in plasma and AH samples, and the relationship between ONOO- level and POAG was analyzed using binary logistic regression. Besides, Pearson correlation analysis was applied to characterize the correlation of the levels of ONOO- with the patients' age, intraocular pressure (IOP), and mean deviation of visual field testing. The ONOO- scavenger MnTMPyP was employed to treat the 3-morpholinosyndnomine (SIN-1)-induced ocular hypertension in mice (n=7, 6-8wk). Finally, the IOP and ONOO- in both eyes were measured 30min after the last drug treatment. RESULTS: ONOO- levels of AH and plasma were significantly higher in the POAG group than in the ARC group (P
