ABSTRACT
PURPOSE: To investigate the effect of mitomycin C on the proliferation of cultured trabecular cells and its relation to nitric oxide (NO) production. METHODS: The effect of NO donor, SIN-1, on the proliferation of primarily cultured porcine trabecular meshwork cells was studied with MTT assay. After treatment with mitomycin C at various concentrations for 1 hour, the proliferation was assessed by MTT assay and the production of nitrite was assessed by Griess reaction after 24 hours and 3 days respectively. RESULTS: SIN-1 significantly inhibited proliferation of cultured trabecular meshwork cells (p0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Both NO donor and mitomycin C have an inhibitory effect on the proliferation of trabecular meshwork cells. However, inhibitory effect of mitomycin C was not related to the production of NO.
