It has been proposed that disruption of normal vitreous humor may permit O2 to travel more easily from the retina to the center of the lens where it may cause nuclear cataract. In the present study, we injected enzymes intravitreally into guinea pigs (which possess an avascular retina) and rats (which possess a vascular retina) to produce either vitreous humor liquefaction plus a posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) (with use of microplasmin) or vitreous humor liquefaction only (with use of hyaluronidase), and 1–2 weeks later measured lens nuclear pO2 levels in vivo using a platinum-based fluorophore O2 sensor (Oxford-Optronix, Ltd.). Experiments were also conducted in which the animals were allowed to breathe 100% O2 following intravitreal injection with either microplasmin or hyaluronidase in order to investigate possible effects on O2 exchange within the eye. Injection of guinea pigs with either of the two enzymes produced no significant differences in lens pO2 levels 1–2 weeks later, compared to controls. However, for the rat, injection of microplasmin produced a 68% increase in O2 level in the center of the lens, compared to the controls (5.6 mmHg increasing to 9.4 mmHg, p<0.05), with no corresponding effect observed following similar use of hyaluronidase. Treatment of guinea pigs with microplasmin dramatically accelerated movement of O2 across the vitreal space when the animals were later allowed to breathe 100% O2 (for example, O2 traveled to a location directly behind the lens 5 times faster than control; p<0.01); however, the effect following treatment with hyaluronidase was significantly less. When microplasmin-injected rats breathed 100% O2, the time required for O2 to reach the center of the lens was 3 times faster than control (0.4 min compared to 1.4 min, p<0.01). The results have implication with regard to the occurrence of age-related PVD in the human, and a possible acceleration of maturity-onset nuclear cataract. In addition, enzymatic creation of a PVD to increase the rate of O2 exchange within the vitreal space may have potential application for treatment of retinal ischemic disease.
