Localization of nitric oxide synthase isoforms in porcine ocular tissues.

Abstract:

PURPOSE:To determine by immunohistochemistry the distribution of different nitric oxide synthases (NOS) isoforms in the porcine eye. METHODS:By light microscopy (immunofluorescence), porcine ocular tissues were investigated using monoclonal antibodies against neuronal NOS (nNOS; NOS I), endothelial NOS (ecNOS; NOS III), and macrophage NOS (macNOS; NOS II). RESULTS:Specific nNOS immunoreactivity was detected along the apical cytoplasmic portions of the non-pigmented and pigmented ciliary epithelial cells, in the endothelial lining of the corneoscleral meshwork and the uveal cords of the iridocorneal angle tissue, as well as in the photoreceptor layer of the sensory retina. Immunoreactivity for ecNOS was confined to the vascular endothelium of the vessels of the conjunctiva, iris, ciliary body, retina, choroid and optic nerve. A mild immunostaining for macNOS was present in the cytoplasm of some non-pigmented ciliary epithelial cells. CONCLUSIONS:The predominant localization of nNOS in ciliary epithelial and trabecular endothelial cells suggests a possible involvement of nNOS in both the production and outflow of aqueous humor in porcine eyes.

  • Age does not affect contractile responses of the isolated rhesus monkey ciliary muscle to muscarinic agonists.

    abstract::In primates, ciliary muscle contraction causes accommodation and facilitates aqueous outflow. In living rhesus monkeys, accommodative, outflow facility, and ciliary muscle movement responses to cholinergic agonists all decline with age. We developed an apparatus to determine in vitro whether the latter is related to i...
