Abstract
The modern scientific direction in the study of the pathogenesis
of primary glaucoma is searching for specific biomarkers and
regulatory mechanisms of this disease. The aim of the work
was to study the level of hydrogen sulfide in eye tissues in
animals with adrenaline-induced glaucoma (AIG) and its
relationship with intraocular pressure (IOP). The glaucoma
model (first group) was induced by injecting 0.1 ml of
adrenaline solution into the ear vein for 3 months. In the second
group, animals (during AIG simulation) received a hydrogen
sulfide donor - daily instillations of 1% NaHS solution into
the eye. The third (control) group consisted of intact animals.
After 3 months, the level of endogenous hydrogen sulfide
was determined in the tissues of the drainage zone of the
eye, retina, optic nerve, and intraocular fluid. Glaucoma
modeling in rabbits was characterized by a dynamic increase
in IOP. A decrease of hydrogen sulfide level in all eye tissues
in glaucoma was established. The maximum decrease was
observed in the retina by 37.3% when compared with the
control. In the second group, the level of endogenous hydrogen
sulfide was higher than in the first group in the tissues of the
drainage zone by 54%, the retina by 42%, the optic nerve by
37%, and the intraocular fluid by 60%. A decrease and gradual
normalization of IOP were found in the second group. The
presence of an inverse Spearman correlation between IOP
indicators and the level of hydrogen sulfide in all experimental
groups was established. We suggest that the established facts
confirm the hypothesis regarding the role of a gas transmitter
hydrogen sulfide in the pathogenesis of glaucoma.
