Provided are methods and compositions for maintaining the viability of retinal ganglion cells in a subject with an ocular disorder including, for example, glaucoma and optic nerve injury. The viability of the retinal ganglion cells can be preserved by administering a necrosis inhibitor either alone or in combination with an apoptosis inhibitor to a subject having an eye with the ocular condition. The compositions, when administered, maintain the viability of the cells and/or promote axon regeneration, thereby minimizing the loss of vision or visual function associated with the ocular disorder.
本发明提供了维持患有眼部疾病(例如青光眼和视神经损伤)的患者视网膜神经节细胞活力的方法和组合物。通过向患有眼部疾病的患者单独施用坏死抑制剂或与凋亡抑制剂联合施用,可保持视网膜神经节细胞的活力。给药后,组合物可维持细胞的活力和/或促进轴突再生,从而最大程度地减少与眼部疾病相关的视力或视觉功能的丧失。
