PHYSIOLOGY OF LENS AND CATARACTOGENESIS
![Page 2: Physiology of lens and cataractogenesis sivateja](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070321/5589ebfdd8b42ae4738b45bd/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
BIOCHEMISTRY OF THE LENS• MAIN CONTENTS ARE WATER (65%) PROTEINS(34%) LIPIDS,CHO AND TRACE ELEMENTS(1%)
![Page 3: Physiology of lens and cataractogenesis sivateja](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070321/5589ebfdd8b42ae4738b45bd/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
WATER
• relatively dehydrated organ• cortex more hydrated than nucleus• 80% is free and 20% is bound• low water is natural consequence of need for
maintining refractive index• no significant alteration in hydration with age
![Page 4: Physiology of lens and cataractogenesis sivateja](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070321/5589ebfdd8b42ae4738b45bd/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
PROTEINS
• conc of proteins in lens is higher than any organ in the body
![Page 5: Physiology of lens and cataractogenesis sivateja](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070321/5589ebfdd8b42ae4738b45bd/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
WATER SOLUBLE PROTIENS
• alpha crystallins-more• beta gamma crystallins-less
they bind to partially denatured protiens in lens and prevent aggregation
![Page 6: Physiology of lens and cataractogenesis sivateja](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070321/5589ebfdd8b42ae4738b45bd/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
WATER INSOLUBLE PROTIENS
• UREA SOLUBLE .CYTOSKELETAL PROTEINS .VIMENTIN AND BEADED FILAMENTS .GENETIC DISRUPTION OF BEADED FILAMENTS L/T CATARACT FORMATION
• UREA INSOLUBLE .MEMBRANE INHIBITORY PROTEINS .MEMBRANE PROTEINS .SERVES TO REDUCE LIGHT SCATTERING BETWEEN CELLS

LENS METABOLISM
• Continous supply of ATP required for-1. Transport of ions and aminoacids2. Maintanence of lens dehydration3. Continous protein synthesis4. GSH synthesis
• Major site – epithelium• Source of nutrient supply-aqueous humour
![Page 8: Physiology of lens and cataractogenesis sivateja](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070321/5589ebfdd8b42ae4738b45bd/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
GLUCOSE METABOLISM
• Energy production entirely dependent on glucose metabolism
• Glucose enters lens by simple diffusion and facilitated diffusion
• Epithelial cells- GLUT-1• Lens fibre cells-GLUT-3• Glucose is rapidly metabolized via glycolysis so
that level of free glucose in lens < 1/10 level in aqueous
![Page 9: Physiology of lens and cataractogenesis sivateja](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070321/5589ebfdd8b42ae4738b45bd/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
![Page 10: Physiology of lens and cataractogenesis sivateja](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070321/5589ebfdd8b42ae4738b45bd/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
1)Anaerobic metabolism• Accounts for 85% of glucose metabolism by lens• Provides > 70% of energy for lens• 1 mole of glucose gives 2 moles of ATP• Lactate generated undergoes 2 pathways of metabolism• Further metabolism via Kreb’s cycle• Diffusion from lens into aqueous
2)Aerobic metabolism (Krebs cycle)• Limited to epithelium• 1 mole of glucose gives 38 moles of ATP• Only 3% of lens glucose metabolized by this pathway• But generates up to 20% of total ATP needs of lens
![Page 11: Physiology of lens and cataractogenesis sivateja](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070321/5589ebfdd8b42ae4738b45bd/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
3)Hexose monophosphate shunt• Accounts for 5% of glucose metabolism by lens• Important source of NADPH required for other
metabolic pathways e.g. sorbitol pathway and glutathione reductase
4)Sorbitol pathway• Accounts for 5% of glucose metabolism by lens• When sorbitol accumulates within cells of lens, it
sets up an osmotic gradient that induces influx of water and lens swelling, and ultimate loss of lens transparency
![Page 12: Physiology of lens and cataractogenesis sivateja](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070321/5589ebfdd8b42ae4738b45bd/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
WITH AGE
• lens proteins proteolyse dissembly of fibres aggregation of water insoluble proteins scatter light opacification of lens
• glutathione is essential for maintaining a reduced environment any depletion cause cataract
![Page 13: Physiology of lens and cataractogenesis sivateja](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070321/5589ebfdd8b42ae4738b45bd/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
OXIDATIVE DAMAGE AND PROTECTIVE MECHANISMS
• FREE RADICALS-SCAVENGED BY GLUTATHIONE
• VITAMIN E AND ASCORBIC ACID IN LENS ALSO ACT AS FREE RADICAL SCAVENGERS
![Page 14: Physiology of lens and cataractogenesis sivateja](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070321/5589ebfdd8b42ae4738b45bd/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
• EXPOSURE TO LONG TERM HYPERBARIC OXYGENOPACIFICATION OF LENS
![Page 15: Physiology of lens and cataractogenesis sivateja](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070321/5589ebfdd8b42ae4738b45bd/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
PHYSIOLOGY OF LENS• lens cells with highest metabolic rate are at
equator and lens epithelium• cells are connected to each other by gap
junctions and membrane integrated prOtiens
![Page 16: Physiology of lens and cataractogenesis sivateja](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070321/5589ebfdd8b42ae4738b45bd/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
• MAINTANENCE OF LENS WATER AND CATION BALANCE
MOST IMPORTANT MECH FOR MAINTAINING LENS TRANSPARENCY
MAINLY BY ACTIVE AND PASSIVE TRANSPORT MECHANISMS
ACTIVE- AA’S,K,Na,INOSITOL ETC. 90% of energy in the form of ATP utilised herePASSIVE-water,ions and waste products of metabolism
![Page 17: Physiology of lens and cataractogenesis sivateja](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070321/5589ebfdd8b42ae4738b45bd/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
WATER AND ELECTROLYTE TRANSPORTpump leak mechanism
![Page 18: Physiology of lens and cataractogenesis sivateja](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070321/5589ebfdd8b42ae4738b45bd/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
TRANSPORT OF AA
• Also included in pump leak concept• Three types of pumps• Inside the lens aa are utilised for protein
formtion and energy production or diffuse back in to aqueous by leak
![Page 19: Physiology of lens and cataractogenesis sivateja](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070321/5589ebfdd8b42ae4738b45bd/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
FACTORS MAINTAINING TRANSPARENCY
• Thin epithelium• Regular arrangement of lens fibers• Little cellular organelles• Little extracellular space• Orderly arrangement of lens proteins• Relative dehydration• Semipermeable character of lens capsule• Avascularity• Antioxidants
![Page 20: Physiology of lens and cataractogenesis sivateja](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070321/5589ebfdd8b42ae4738b45bd/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
CATARCTOGENESISINCREASED AGE LEADS TO INCREASE WEIGHT AND THICKNESS OF LENS
LENS UNDERGO COPRESSION AND HARDENING(NUCLEAR SCLEROSIS)
AGGREGATION OF PROTIENS ALSO CAUSES FLUCTUATIONS IN RI OF LENS,LIGHT SCATTERING AND DECREASED TRANSPARENCY
CHEMICAL MODIFICATIONS ALSO INCREASES PIGMENTATION GIVING RED YELLOW COLOURS TO LENS

![Page 21: Physiology of lens and cataractogenesis sivateja](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070321/5589ebfdd8b42ae4738b45bd/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
RISK FACTORS
• Age >50• Low SES• Sex females>males.however estrogen is
protective• Smoking and alcoholism• Exposure to steroids and radiations• Myopia,DM,HTN,renal failure etc.,
![Page 22: Physiology of lens and cataractogenesis sivateja](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070321/5589ebfdd8b42ae4738b45bd/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
AGE RELATED CATARACTS
• Most commomest• B/L and asymmetrical• Three main types1.Nuclear cataracts2.Cortical cataracts3.Posterior subcapsular cataracts
![Page 23: Physiology of lens and cataractogenesis sivateja](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070321/5589ebfdd8b42ae4738b45bd/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
NUCLEAR CATARACT
• M.C type, >60%• In asian population cortical cat predominates• Nuclear cataract is associated with the oxidative
damage to the proteins and lipids, leading to hardening of the lens nucleus and increased light scattering
• Hardening inc ref powermyopic shiftsecond sight
![Page 24: Physiology of lens and cataractogenesis sivateja](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070321/5589ebfdd8b42ae4738b45bd/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
• The lens normally exists in an extremely hypoxic environment. Patients treated with long-term hyperbaric oxygen therapy develop a myopic shift and,eventually, nuclear cataracts ?why not cortical?
• Post virectomy and age related degeneration of vitreous also plays significan role in nuclear cataracts
![Page 25: Physiology of lens and cataractogenesis sivateja](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070321/5589ebfdd8b42ae4738b45bd/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
![Page 26: Physiology of lens and cataractogenesis sivateja](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070321/5589ebfdd8b42ae4738b45bd/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
CORTICAL CATARACT
• First appear at age of onset of presbyopia• Mature fibres on surface of cells are affected• M.C site is inferonasal quadrant• Starts at periphery and takes years to obscure
visionRisk factors• Exposure to sunlight• Thinner lens• DM
![Page 27: Physiology of lens and cataractogenesis sivateja](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070321/5589ebfdd8b42ae4738b45bd/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Mechanisms• disruption of pumps• physical or chemical damage to cell plasma proteins • Damage to Ca homeostasis• Glutathione loss
• First sign in SLB is formation of vacuoles and water clefts in anterior and post cortex
• Numerous mech like globular deg and walling off which prevents progression of cataract

ELECTRICAL INJURY
• cause protein coagulation and cataract formation
• more likely when the transmission of current involves the patient's head
• Initially,lens vacuoles appear in the anterior midperiphery of the lens, followed by linear opacities in the anterior subcapsular cortex
