Background: Prostaglandin (PG) receptor agonists are the first-line eyedrop medication treatment for glaucoma. The pathophysiology of this disease is not completely known, and elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) is the key risk factor. The membranes of the axons (of the retinal ganglion cells) passing through the optic nerve (ON) head experience significant damage. Lipids are an essential component of the cell's membranes, and their profile changes owing to neurodegeneration. In this investigation, three agonists for distinct PG receptors were used to lower IOP and to determine their effect on the ON lipids. We utilized DBA/2J mice as a model of progressive IOP increase and C57BL/6J mice as a model of ON crush. Methods: DBA/2J and C57BL/6J mice were treated daily for 2 weeks with Latanoprost, PF-04217329, or Rivenprost. The IOP was measured every 2 days and pattern electroretinogram was conducted for DBA/2J throughout the study. Lipidomics of ONs were performed for each model and treatment group. Results: Of the tested compounds, Latanoprost and Rivenprost were the most effective agents decreasing IOP in DBA/2J mice. Triglyceride levels increased in the ONs of DBA/2J mouse model, but phosphatidylethanolamine levels underwent highest level changes in the C57BL/6J mouse model when treated with Latanoprost. Conclusions: Topical ocular FP- and EP4-receptor agonists appreciably lowered IOP in the DBA/2J mice representing pigmentary glaucoma. The observed changes in ON lipidomics in the different models of neurodegeneration suggest possible use of such measures in the development of more effective medicines for both IOP reduction and ON protection.

Nephronophthisis (NPH) is an autosomal recessive tubulointerstitial nephropathy belonging to the ciliopathy disorders and known as the most common cause of hereditary end-stage renal disease in children. Yet, no curative treatment is available. The major gene, NPHP1, encodes a protein playing key functions at the primary cilium and cellular junctions. Using a medium-throughput drug-screen in NPHP1 knockdown cells, we identified 51 Food and Drug Administration-approved compounds by their ability to alleviate the cellular phenotypes associated with the loss of NPHP1; 11 compounds were further selected for their physicochemical properties. Among those compounds, prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) rescued ciliogenesis defects in immortalized patient NPHP1 urine-derived renal tubular cells, and improved ciliary and kidney phenotypes in our NPH zebrafish and Nphp1 knockout mouse models. Furthermore, Taprenepag, a nonprostanoid prostaglandin E2 receptor agonist, alleviated the severe retinopathy observed in Nphp1−/− mice. Finally, comparative transcriptomics allowed identification of key signaling pathways downstream PGE1, including cell cycle progression, extracellular matrix, adhesion, or actin cytoskeleton organization. In conclusion, using in vitro and in vivo models, we showed that prostaglandin E2 receptor agonists can ameliorate several of the pleotropic phenotypes caused by the absence of NPHP1; this opens their potential as a first therapeutic option for juvenile NPH-associated ciliopathies.

Prostaglandin analogues and nitric oxide contribution in the treatment of ocular hypertension and glaucoma

Review

In patients with ocular hypertension or glaucoma, all treatments aim to lower intraocular pressure (IOP) by modulating aqueous humour (AH) production and/or uveoscleral and trabecular meshwork/Schlemm's canal AH drainage. PG analogues are considered to be the ‘gold standard’ treatment and are the most frequently used IOP‐lowering agents. Recent data support an important role for NO in regulating IOP. Thus, novel PG analogues carrying a NO‐donating moiety were recently advanced. Latanoprostene bunod (LBN) and NCX 470, NO‐donating derivatives of latanoprost and bimatoprost, respectively, are examples of such compounds. LBN ophthalmic solution, 0.024% (Vyzulta™), showed greater IOP‐lowering efficacy compared with that of Xalatan® (latanoprost ophthalmic solution, 0.005%) or 0.5% timolol maleate in clinical settings. NCX 470 was found to be more effective than bimatoprost in animal models of ocular hypertension and glaucoma. Selective EP2 receptor agonists (i.e. taprenepag isopropyl, omidenepag isopropyl and aganepag isopropyl) and non‐selective prostanoid receptor agonists (i.e. ONO‐9054, sepetaprost isopropyl) that concomitantly stimulate FP and EP3 receptors have also been shown to hold promise as effective IOP‐lowering agents.Linked ArticlesThis article is part of a themed section on Eicosanoids 35 years from the 1982 Nobel: where are we now?
