Elevated intraocular pressure is the most prevalent and only treatable risk
factor for glaucoma, a degenerative disease of the optic nerve. While treatment
options to slow disease progression are available, all current therapeutic and
surgical treatments have unwanted side effects or limited efficacy, resulting in
the need to identify new options. Previous reports from our laboratory have
established a novel ocular hypotensive effect of ATP-sensitive potassium channel
(KATP) openers including diazoxide (DZ) and nicorandil (NCD). In the current
study, we evaluated the role of Erk1/2 signaling pathway in KATP channel opener
mediated reduction of intraocular pressure (IOP). Western blot analysis of DZ and
NCD treated primary normal trabecular meshwork (NTM) cells, human TM (isolated
from perfusion cultures of human anterior segments) and mouse eyes showed
increased phosphorylation of Erk1/2 when compared to vehicle treated controls. DZ
and NCD mediated pressure reduction (p<0.02) in human anterior segments (n = 7
for DZ, n = 4 for NCD) was abrogated by U0126 (DZ + U0126: -9.7 ± 11.5%, p =
0.11; NCD + U0126: -0.1 ± 11.5%, p = 1.0). In contrast, U0126 had no effect on
latanoprostfree acid-induced pressure reduction (-52.5 ± 6.8%, n = 4, p = 0.001).
In mice, DZ and NCD reduced IOP (DZ, 14.9 ± 3.8%, NCD, 16.9 ± 2.5%, n = 10,
p<0.001), but the pressure reduction was inhibited by U0126 (DZ + U0126, 0.7 ±
3.0%; NCD + U0126, 0.9 ± 2.2%, n = 10, p>0.1). Histologic evaluation of
transmission electron micrographs from DZ + U0126 and NCD + U0126 treated eyes
revealed no observable morphological changes in the ultrastructure of the
conventional outflow pathway. Taken together, the results indicate that the
Erk1/2 pathway is necessary for IOP reduction by KATP channel openers DZ and NCD.
