Consensus Recommendation for Mouse Models of Ocular Hypertension to Study Aqueous Humor Outflow and Its Mechanisms.

In this review, we describe a set of minimum acceptable standards for developing, characterizing, and utilizing mouse models of open-angle ocular hypertension.

NCX 667, a Novel Nitric Oxide Donor, Lowers Intraocular Pressure in Rabbits, Dogs, and Non-Human Primates and Enhances TGFβ2-Induced Outflow in HTM/HSC Constructs.

NCX 667 leads to robust IOP lowering in several animal models.

ANGPTL7 and Its Role in IOP and Glaucoma.

Using multiple models, we have demonstrated that excess ANGPTL7 increases outflow resistance and IOP and that neutralizing ANGPTL7 has beneficial effects in both naïve and steroid-induced hypertensive eyes, thus motivating the development of ANGPTL7-targeting therapeutics…
