    Abstract:

    AIM: To study the gene expression response and predict the network in cell due to pressure effects on optic nerve injury of glaucoma. METHODS: We used glaucoma related microarray data in public database [Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO)] to explore the potential gene expression changes as well as correspondent biological process alterations due to increased pressure in astrocytes during glaucoma development. RESULTS: A total of six genes were identified to be related with pressure increasing. Through the annotation and network analysis, we found these genes might be involved in cell morphological remodeling, angiogenesis, mismatch repair. CONCLUSION: Increasing pressure in glaucoma on astrocytes might cause gene expression alterations, which might induce some cellular responses changes.
