Cover Story: We investigated the effects of intermittent intraocular pressure (IOP) elevation on the function and survival of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs). Unlike the mild response associated with constant IOP elevation, recurrent IOP spikes induced RGC pathology via the mechanosensory activation of the pannexin1–inflammasome axis and hyperinflammation. Pore-forming Gasdermin D protein played a pivotal role in this neurotoxic cascade by releasing interleukin-1β and inducing apoptosis via mitochondrial damage. This signaling enabled the active engagement of the adaptive immune system in the pathophysiology of RGCs, as evidenced by the infiltration of immune cells. Our data suggest that recurrent IOP spikes may either instigate de novo RGC damage or amplify pre-existing pathology, thereby hastening glaucomatous degeneration. View this paper
