Excessive accumulation of extracellular matrix (ECM) in the trabecular meshwork (TM) reduces aqueous humor outflow, which likely contributes to elevation of IOP in primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG). Salidroside, a phenolic glycoside isolated from Rhodiola rosea is reported to prevent profibrotic responses by inhibiting Smad signaling pathway activated by TGF-β in liver, lung, and kidney tissues. We tested if salidroside can (1) inhibit TGF-β2-induced ECM expression in cultured human TM cells, and (2) lower TGF-β2-induced ocular hypertension in the mouse.
