Methods: In this cross-sectional study, aqueous humor samples were collected from 54 eyes of 54 patients (34 medically treated primary open angle glaucoma and 20 normal controls) during cataract surgery from January 2014 to January Glaucoma patients were divided into two groups: patients using prostaglandin analogue for more than 6 months (prostaglandin F 2α analogue [PGA] user) and patients with no experience of PGA use (PGA non-user). The levels of cytokines (matrix metalloproteinase [MMP]1, MMP9, MMP3, vascular endothelial growth factor, interleukin [IL]-1, IL-8, tumor necrosis factor [TNF]-α) in the aqueous of glaucoma and control subjects were quantified using a multiplex cytokine analysis. Results: Aqueous humor collected from the glaucoma patients exhibited significantly increased concentrations of MMP1 (p = 0.002) and MMP9 (p = 0.026). Among glaucoma patients, PGA users showed significantly higher level of MMP 9 compared with PGA non-users (p = 0.003). In the univariate and multivariate linear regression analyses, PGA use (β = 0.351, p = 0.027) and vertical cup-to disc ratio (β = , p = 0.013) were the significant risk factors associated with the level of MMP9. Conclusions: Primary open-angle glaucoma showed increased aqueous levels of MMP1 and MMP9. Especially, PGA use for longer than 6 months was associated with increased level of MMP9.

Luminex multiplex bead immunoassay (Human Cytokine LINCOplex kit; LINCO Research, St. Charles, MO, USA) 를이용하여희석되지않은방수검체에존재하는 MMP1, MMP9, MMP3, Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), interleukin (IL)-1, IL-8, Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α의농도를측정하였다. 시료의분석은제조회사의검사방침을준수하여이전연구에서보고된바와같은방법으로시행하였다. 7 녹내장안및정상대조군간, 그리고녹내장안중 PGA 사용군과 PGA 비사용군간의임상적특징및방수내사이토카인의농도에대한비교분석을시행하였다. 비교분석은연속변수에대해서는 independent t-test로, 범주형변수에대해서는 Pearson χ 2 을통하여검정하였다. 연속변수에대한결과는평균및표준편차로나타내었다. 다음으로방수내 MMP9의농도에미치는인자에대하여단변량선형회귀분석 (univariate linear regression analysis) 을시행하였 602

5 - 김효원외 : 녹내장방수의특징 - 따라서도유의한차이가없다고하였다. 본연구에서는녹내장안의방수에 MMP1과 MMP9이증가되어있음을확인할수있었다 (Fig. 1). 본연구에서는녹내장안에서증가된 matrix metalloproteinase 가녹내장의병인에관계하는지, 아니면녹내장의치료에의한이차적인결과인지를확인하기위하여녹내장의임상적특징이 MMP의농도를결정하는지알아보고자하였다. 그결과 MMP9의경우프로스타글란딘제제를 6개월이상사용하였을때독립적으로 MMP9의상승과관련이있음을알수있었다 (β=0.351, p=0.027, Table 3). 여기서한가지흥미로운점은수직시신경함몰비의경우오히려작을수록, 즉녹내장의정도가덜심할수록 MMP9이상승되는방향으로나타났다는점이다 (β=-0.401, p=0.013). 이러한점에서미루어보았을때, MMP9은녹내장의직접적인병인또는질환의정도 (severity) 에관계한다기보다프로스타글란딘제제사용에의한이차적인결과일가능성이높다고보인다. 프로스타글란딘제제는특히포도막공막유출로 (uveoscleral outflow) 에영향을줌으로써안압을하강시키는가장강력한단일안압하강제중의하나이다. 10 프로스타글란딘제제는안방수의배출로뿐만아니라안구전반에걸쳐영향을미친다고보고되었다. 11 이전연구에서프로스타글란딘제제는섬모체근육세포 (ciliary smooth muscle cell) 12 및공막 13,14 에이르기까지전반적으로 MMP의농도를상승시킨다고하였고, 이로인하여조직의투과성이증가되어, 프로스타글란딘제제에의한안압하강의기전에일부관여한다고하였다. 13 이뿐아니라인간섬유주세포배양후, latanoprost로처리하였을때, 세포에서 MMP1, MMP3, MMP17 의발현이증가되었다. 15 또한최근에는프로스타글란딘제제를사용하는녹내장환자에서눈물의사이토카인농도를분석하였을때 MMP1, MMP9의증가와함께, 길항작용을하는 tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase (TIMP)-1이감소되어있음이밝혀졌다. 16 방수의사이토카인은녹내장외의다른질환들의병인과도밀접한관계를가진다. Jia et al 17 은안축장의길이에따라서 MMP2, TIMP-1, 2, 3가증가한다고보고하였다. 또한당뇨망막병증에서 MMP2, MMP9이증가되어있고, 18,19 당뇨의신생혈관막에서 MMP9의증가가보고된바있다. 20,21 이로미루어볼때, 생리적인 MMP의조절메커니즘과는별도로, 프로스타글란딘제제의장기사용으로인하여 2차적으로 MMP1, 9의농도가증가하게되며, 이로인하여 MMP가안구에미칠수있는영향에대한고려도필요할것으로보인다. 프로스타글란딘은염증성반응의매개물질중하나로서 이론적으로프로스타글란딘제제의사용이안구의염증을유도할가능성이제시되어왔다. 22 MMP9 역시다양한염증반응을조절하는 pro-inflammatory mediator로알려져있다. 23 Chua et al 4 은정상안과녹내장안의방수를비교하여 interferon-gamma, IL-10 등의염증성사이토카인이개방각녹내장에서증가되어있다고보고하였다. 그러나본연구에서는 IL-1, IL-8, TNF-α 및 VEGF 등의염증성사이토카인들은녹내장군과정상군에서유의한차이가발견되지않았으며, 프로스타글란딘제제사용여부에따라서도유의한차이가발견되지않았다 (Table 2). 그러나본연구는백내장수술전에채취한방수에서분석한것으로, 다양한염증성사이토카인에대한분석은이루어지지못하였다. 당뇨나수술등과같이전방내염증이증가될것이예상되는스트레스상황에서 MMP9이전방내염증반응에미치는영향에대해서는추가연구가필요할것으로보인다. 24,25 본연구는전향적연구로직접사람의방수를대상으로분석했다는장점이있다. 본연구에서는다변량분석을통하여프로스타글란딘제제사용외에방수내 MMP 농도에영향을줄수있는다른인자를보정하여분석하였으나, 대상안수의부족으로인하여프로스타글란딘단일제제만을사용한환자에대한분석이별도로시행되지못했다는점이연구의제한점으로사료된다. 결론적으로, 녹내장환자의방수를분석하였을때, MMP1, MMP9이상승되어있었고, 특히 6개월이상의프로스타글란딘제제의사용은 MMP9의상승과관련된위험인자임을알수있었다.

Analysis of intraocular cytokines according to progression of diabetic retinopathy and macular edema in diabetic patients. J Korean Ophthalmol Soc 2013;54: = 국문초록 = 녹내장환자의방수내사이토카인농도분석 목적 : 녹내장안과정상안의방수에서사이토카인의농도차이를알아보고, 녹내장안에서어떠한임상적특징이방수내사이토카인농도를결정하는지분석해보고자하였다. 대상과방법 : 2014 년 1 월부터 2015 년 1 월까지백내장수술을받은환자중개방각녹내장 ( 원발개방각녹내장및정상안압녹내장 ) 환자와정상안을대상으로하였다. 녹내장안은점안프로스타글란딘제제 (prostaglandin F 2α analogue, PGA) 를 6 개월이상사용한군 (PGA 사용군 ) 과 PGA 를사용하지않은군 (PGA 비사용군 ) 으로나누어분석하였다. 결과 : 녹내장환자 34 명의 34 안, 정상인 20 명의 20 안이포함되었고녹내장안중 PGA 사용군은 21 안, PGA 비사용군은 13 안이었다. 방수의사이토카인분석결과, 녹내장안에서 MMP1 과 MMP9 이정상대조군에비해유의하게증가된양상을보였다 (p=0.002 and 0.026, MMP1 and MMP9). 녹내장안중에서는 PGA 사용군에서 MMP9 이 ± pg/ml 로 PGA 비사용군 ± pg/ml 에비하여유의하게증가되어있었다 (p=0.003). 단변량및다변량분석모두에서 PGA 사용여부 (β=0.351, p=0.027) 및낮은수직시신경함몰비 (β=-0.401, p=0.013) 가 MMP9 상승에유의한영향을미쳤다. 결론 : 녹내장환자의방수를분석하였을때, MMP1 과 MMP9 이상승되어있었고, 특히 6 개월이상프로스타글란딘제제의사용은 MMP9 의상승에영향을미치는인자임을알수있었다. < 대한안과학회지 2016;57(4): > 606
