Primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) is a leading cause of blindness, and its primary risk factor is elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) due to pathologic changes in the trabecular meshwork (TM). We previously showed that there is a cross-inhibition between TGFβ and Wnt signaling pathways in the TM. In this study, we determined if activation of the Wnt signaling pathway using small-molecule Wnt activators can inhibit TGFβ2-induced TM changes and ocular hypertension (OHT).
