Abstract

Background/Aim: Prostaglandin analogues (PGAs) are a first-line medical treatment for glaucoma because of their powerful intraocular pressure (IOP) lowering effect, few systemic side-effects (SEs), and the once daily administration. Despite the high systemic safety profile, the chronic use of PGAs may induce periocular and ocular surface (OS)-related side effects, which affect a significant proportion of glaucomatous patients. In this review, we summarize the current knowledge about SEs of PGAs on periocular structures and OS, and their implications in clinical practice. Materials and Methods: A comprehensive literature search on the PubMed platform was performed. Two hundred fifty articles fulfilling key words were identified, of which 180 were excluded since they did not concern the effects of PGAs on the periocular tissues and OS, or because of their limited relevance. The following key words were used and combined, to narrow-down the literature: “prostaglandin” and “ocular surface,” which identified 184 unique publications, of which 68 were selected; “prostaglandin” and “periocular” which identified 46 unique publications, of which 11 were selected. An additional search was conducted using “prostaglandin” and “Meibomian glands (MGs)”, which identified twenty unique publications, of which 8 were selected. Thus, a total of 70 articles were chosen based on their relevance and were included in this review. Results: Prostaglandin-associated peri-orbitopathy, skin pigmentation and hypertrichosis, eyelash growth, and MGs dysfunction are the most frequent modifications of periocular tissues. They are induced by the tissue accumulation of PGAs, and FP receptor stimulation. Without preservatives, PGAs act as stimulators of conjunctival goblet cells, which are the main source of ocular surface mucoproteins, and seem to increase conjunctival epithelium microcysts proposed as in vivo hallmark of the trans-scleral aqueous humour outflow. Additional PGA-induced modifications can be recognized in the cornea, corneo-scleral limbus, conjunctival stroma and, conjunctiva-associated lymphoid tissue, mainly appearing as inflammatory changes. OS epithelia desquamation, chemosis, apoptosis, dendritic cell activation, conjunctival or episcleral vasodilation, and sub-basal nerve plexus disruption were also described in patients receiving preserved PGAs. Conclusion: PGAs induce several modifications of the OS structures and adnexa; nonetheless, none of them significantly reduces the local safety profile of this class of drugs. Moreover, the OS changes do not affect the IOP lowering efficacy of PGAs. On these bases, local SEs of PGAs should not discourage clinicians in using this class of medications because of their efficacy, the systemic safety profile, and the better adherence.

Glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness worldwide and it is the most frequent cause of irreversible blindness (1). The intraocular pressure (IOP) rise, a consequence of outflow structures impairment (2), is the main risk factor for glaucoma. The goal of glaucoma treatment is to maintain the patient's visual function and quality of life, reducing the rate of retinal ganglion cell loss; this result is obtained by lowering the intra-ocular pressure (IOP) with therapy (3, 4), while neuroprotective drugs could complement hypotensive therapies (5, 6). Prostaglandin analogues (PGAs) are a primary medical treatment for glaucoma because of their powerful IOP lowering effect, few systemic adverse reactions, and once daily administration. Despite the safety profile, the chronic use of PGAs induces some adverse reactions around the eyes and on the ocular surface (OS). Some of these changes are thought to be specific side effects of PGA, because they occur with a significant frequency. In addition to in vitro and animal model studies, over the past decade knowledge about the ocular surface in glaucoma has significantly increased with the use of in vivo laser scanning confocal microscopy (IVCM). This method is able to show in vivo modifications at the cellular level of OS and adnexa, induced by anti-glaucoma drugs (7, 8). In this review, we summarize the current knowledge about the effects of PGAs on periocular tissues and OS and their implications in clinical practice.

Materials and Methods

A comprehensive literature search on PubMed was performed. Two hundred fifty articles fulfilling key words were identified, of which 180 were excluded since they did not concern the effects of PGAs on the periocular tissues and OS, or because of their limited relevance. The following key words were used and combined, to narrow down the literature: “prostaglandin” and “ocular surface”, which identified 184 unique publications, of which 68 were selected; “prostaglandin” and “periocular” which identified 46 unique publications, of which 11 were selected. An additional search was conducted using “prostaglandin” and “Meibomian glands (MGs)”, which identified twenty unique publications, of which 8 were selected. Thus, a total of 70 articles were chosen based on their relevance and were included in this review.

Results

Periocular changes Prostaglandin-associated peri-orbitopathy (PAP). The first report about PAP was described in 2004 in bimatoprost users as “deepening of the upper eyelid sulcus (DUES)” (9). The presence of DUES was subsequently observed among users of other PGAs, including travoprost, latanoprost and tafluprost (10-13). The prevalence of DUES is 44% after at least three months of therapy (14), whereas its incidence ranges from 25 to 60% (12, 15-17) and is significantly higher in patients treated with bimatoprost (60%) than with latanoprost and travoprost (6% and 53%, respectively) (12-14). Bimatoprost-induced DUES is, at least partially, reversible after drug interruption or change: in fact, DUES-related symptoms reduce or disappear in 85% of patients after switching from bimatoprost to latanoprost (18). PAP includes other clinical findings besides DUES, that consist in the absence of dermatochalasis, a deep crease and ptosis of the upper eyelid, decreased prominence of the inferior orbital fat pads, enophthalmos, orbital fat atrophy, flattening of the lower eyelid bags, inferior scleral show, tight orbits (19, 20). Besides bimatoprost use, also the travoprost use and the older age were found to be risk factors for PAP (14); on the other hand, the duration of PGA administration and gender, were not associated with PAP development. The mechanism of PAP was initially related to the function of the Muller muscle (9); later, a magnetic resonance imaging study indicated a reduction in orbital adipose tissue after long-term use of PGAs (21), focusing the attention on modification of fat orbital tissue. Recently, the most part of evidences consider PAP as a result of the orbital fat atrophy, deriving from FP receptor stimulation-induced lipolysis and adipogenesis inhibition (22). The different changes in the amount of orbital fat tissue atrophy of PGA sub-types may be explained by the differences in pharmacokinetics, receptor affinity, and mechanisms of action, considering that bimatoprost, which shows the higher incidence of PAP, has a dual mechanism of action since it stimulates both FP and prostamide FP receptors.

Periocular skin changes. The most frequent PGAs induced periocular tissue modifications are represented by skin pigmentation and hypertrichosis. The frequency of eyelid pigmentation was reported to range from 0 to 25.9%, whereas eyelash bristles was reported to occur in 0-77% of patients (23-30). The wide variation in the frequency of skin changes found in the literature most probably depend on the different duration of therapy, the method used to determine skin changes (slit lamp or images), and race. PGA administration for more than three months is thought to be associated with a higher occurrence of skin changes. In fact, the frequency of eyelid pigmentation and eyelash bristles increase from 1.5-2.9% and 0-33%, respectively, in patients with <3 months of medication use, to 0-25%% and 0.7-77%, in patients with more than three months of PGA use. Inoue et al., in a study that compared the effects of the long-term use of different types of PGAs on peri-ocular skin, reported a skin pigmentation in 4-6% of eyes without significant differences among medications. Interestingly, the authors did not find relations between skin pigmentation and age, gender, administration period, and IOP (31). In contrast, eyelash bristles were found in 26-54% of the subjects, with a higher frequency in bimatoprost users; moreover, the duration of therapy was significantly shorter for cases in which eyelash bristles appeared (22.5±25.2 months) compared with those in which they did not appear (30.6±29.5 months; p<0.0296).

Eyelash growth. Since initial PGA introduction, eyelash growth has been reported to be a frequent side effect of this class of medications. First, Johnstone, in 1997, reported that 43 patients treated with topical monocular latanoprost 0.01% developed hypertrichosis and pigmentation of the eyelashes (32); later, a change in length and thickness of the eyelashes was described in 46.3% of patients treated with latanoprost, without significant correlation between iris pigmentation and eyelash growth (33). Bimatoprost 0.03%, which was further commercialized, has a more substantial effect on eyelash growth than latanoprost. In fact, Noecker et al., in a six-month randomized clinical trial that compared the effects bimatoprost and latanoprost on adnexa, reported eyelash growth in 10.5% of patients treated with bimatoprost, and no cases in patients receiving latanoprost (34). Similar results were found in other studies (35, 36), which observed that hypertrichosis usually appears earlier in bimatoprost compared to latanoprost users. Prostaglandin receptors are present in the dermal papilla and the outer root sheath of the hair follicle; the effects of PGAs on eyelashes have been hypothesized to be induced by a prolonged eyelash anagen phase, which is the active growth phase (37). mRNAs for prostaglandin receptors were expressed in the dermal papilla cells and the outer-root sheath cells located in the hair bulb region in the anagen phase; however, these signals disappeared in the telogen phase (38).

The cutaneous bio disposition of bimatoprost was also investigated in mise at three different concentrations (0.01%, 0.03% and 0.06%) (39). The results indicated that the cutaneous levels of bimatoprost is dose-dependent and is well maintained over a 1-day period. Furthermore, bimatoprost remains in the skin as an intact molecule, indicating a prostamide receptor involvement. Because of the effects on eyelash growth bimatoprost 0.03% solution has been purposed for treating hypotrichosis of the eyelashes (40); the average eyelash growth after three months of treatment is 1.4-2 mm, a statistically significant difference.

Meibomian glands (MGs) disfunction. MGs are holocrine glands embedded in the tarsal plate of the eyelids, and produce meibum. Meibometry and non-contact meibography demonstrated that antiglaucoma drugs induce morphological changes and dysfunction of MGs, leading to dry eye. Particularly, MG loss and low secretion expressibility are some of the most common features in preserved anti-glaucoma drugs users; preserved PGAs and preserved β-blockers, which are the most widely used medications to treat glaucoma, induce a similar significant involution of Meibomian lipoid activity, which correlates with BUT reduction and ocular surface symptoms (41-43). These results introduced the question of whether MGs modifications are induced by preservatives, active components, or both. By means of IVCM, Agnifili et al. (44) investigated the MG features in medically controlled glaucoma treated with preserved or preservative-free (PF) drugs, observing a significant reduction of the mean acinar density (MAD) and area (MAA), a greater secretion reflectivity, and a higher interstice inhomogeneity in preserved PGA users. The comparison of preserved and PF agents showed that preserved PGAs were more toxic than PF-PGAs (Figure 1). Lower MAD and MAA values were considered expressions of glandular loss and reduced meibum production, respectively, and the inhomogeneity of interstice as a sign of tarsum and MGs inflammation, suggesting that PGAs play a pivotal role in inducing MG alterations in medically controlled glaucomatous patients. The authors suggested that the presence of preservatives enhances the effect of PGAs either through a direct toxic effect on MGs or promoting the drug's penetration into the glands. Recently the association between PGAs and MG dysfunction (MGD) has been confirmed in a clinical study (45), in which the prevalence of MGD was higher in patients treated with PGA (92.0%) compared with those receiving non-PGA therapy (58.3%); in addition, patients treated with PGAs presented the obstructive type of MGD (95.7%).

Ocular surface changes

Conjunctival epithelium and Goblet cells (GCs) modification. The presence of conjunctival epithelial desquamation, inflammation, apoptosis, and hyperemia is rarely described in PF beta-blockers and PF PGA, but is frequently reported in corresponding preserved formulations (46). GCs are the main source of ocular surface mucoproteins, with their number progressively decreasing with aging; they are extremely sensitive irritating stimuli and their loss leads to dry eye, conjunctival inflammation and fibrosis. Recently, the density of preoperative GCs was correlated with the filtration with the surgical outcome of trabeculectomy (47, 48), therefore, the preservation of GCs represents a crucial factor for surgical success. Goblet cells density (GCD) was found to change especially in PGAs treated eyes. Several studies showed that GCs and mucin marker were reduced after long-term therapy with preservative drugs (47) (Figure 2), and also in patients receiving either PF-PGAs or PF-beta blockers (49, 50). Conversely, Russ et al. (51) found a transient increase in GCD in patients treated with preserved PGAs, followed by a density reduction after longer periods of treatment. In accordance with these initial evidence, Mastropasqua et al. (52) observed a short-term favourable effect of PF-tafluprost on GCs, documenting a persistent increase of GCD 6 months after initiating therapy. Differently, in patients receiving preserved latanoprost, GCD increased after 1 month, whereas reduced to baseline values after 6 months. These results suggested that PF-PGAs may have a potentially positive effect on GCs with respect to the preserved PGAs, in which the balance between the toxicity of preservative and stimulation of PGAs induces a long-term loss of GCs.

Conjunctival epithelial microcysts (CEM) modification. Conjunctiva generally shows CEM, that appear as dark, round or oval-shaped structures, located below the epithelium. The presence of CEM were described in untreated ocular hypertension (OH), in medically treated open glaucoma (Figure 3) and after filtration surgery (53-57). In a study with IVCM and immune-histology of the aqueous humor after trabeculectomy, Amar et al. (58) hypothesized that CEM observed in functioning blebs correspond to modified conjunctival GCs that may work as aqueous humor carriers.

The analysis of the relationship between CEM and PGAs shows conflicting results. Eyes treated with unfixed combination therapy (beta-blocker/PGAs) showed a significantly greater mean microcyst density (MMD) and larger mean microcyst area (MMA) compared to eyes on single drug therapy (preserved PGAs or preserved β-blocker) (59). In naive patients, both PF PGAs and preserved PGAs increased MMA (by half and two-fold, respectively) after 3 months of therapy, without MMD modification (60). This suggested that PGAs increased the trans-conjunctival aqueous humor outflow by enhancing pre-existing intra-conjunctival pathways rather than inducing novel pathways, and that benzalkonium chloride may account for a higher drug efficacy on aqueous humour outflow. This is consistent with the mechanism of action of PGAs and confirmed an ex vivo study on human conjunctiva where Terai et al. (61) documented an enlarged sub-epithelial empty spaces after PGA exposure.

Conjunctiva-associated lymphoid tissue (CALT). The conjunctiva-associated lymphoid tissue (CALT), which represents the conjunctival part of the eye-associated lymphoid tissues (EALT), develops within the tarsal and bulbar conjunctiva, forming the immunological interface between the ocular surface and the external environment (62, 63). CALT presents specialized functions since the activities developed by immune mucosal tissue are functionally adapted to the ocular surface: because of this, CALT promotes corneal immune protection and is responsible for the generation of the immune tolerance against environmental nonpathological antigens making contact with the ocular surface. The effect of glaucoma therapy on CALT has been suspected by lymphocyte and plasma cells infiltration in the substantia propria of the conjunctiva, by hypertrophy or formation of new conjunctival follicles, and by the occurrence of follicular conjunctivitis in medically controlled glaucoma. In an in vivo confocal study on rabbits, it was observed that the administration of preserved PGAs induced infiltration of hyper-reflective inflammatory cells in the para-follicular area with a linear correlation between the degree of cellular infiltration and concentration of preservative (46). The role of preservative in the CALT stimulation was further confirmed in a different rabbit study where, while preserved PGAs induced an intra-follicular infiltration of inflammatory cells (according to their BAK concentration) PF latanoprost did not induce inflammatory changes. These findings suggested a pivotal role of BAK over active compounds in activating the conjunctival immune cells (64). In human eyes, Mastropasqua et al. (55, 65) reported CALT modifications similar to those observed in rabbits. Particularly, after 3-months, therapy-naïve glaucomatous patients receiving preserved latanoprost showed inflammatory cells infiltrating follicles and inter-follicular spaces; in contrast, patients treated with PF tafluprost did not show inflammatory signs. Notably, the follicular architecture in treated eyes also showed structural alterations due to collagen accumulation, since the reticular connective pattern of the core appeared more prominent and hyper-reflective (Figure 4).

Presumed follicles appear as roundish or oval-shaped structures composed of a network of collagen fibrils with an increased reflectivity because of core fibrosis (asterisk), hosting some hyper-reflective elements corresponding to immune cells (arrow).

Corneoscleral limbus (CL). The CL is one of the main components composing the ocular surface unit, and exerts a crucial role in the maintenance of the corneal epithelial integrity because hosts the niches for corneal epithelial stem cells. The CL integrity may be altered by several factors, such as inflammatory diseases, corneal burns, contact wear lens and topical medications. The effect of antiglaucoma drugs on CL was first hypothesized by Schwartz and Holland (66), who described limbal stem cell deficiency in glaucomatous eyes who underwent ocular surgery of the CL. Recently, IVCM and impression cytology have been used in diagnosis of limbal stem cell deficiency (67, 68). The effects of BAK preserved latanoprost, BAK 0.02%, and PF tafluprost in rabbits were investigated by Liang et al. (46). The authors found inflammatory cells infiltrating the limbal area in eyes receiving preserved latanoprost or BAK alone, whereas rabbit treated with PF tafluprost did not show CL changes. These results were further confirmed by Pauly et al. (69) in a study in which limbal inflammatory cells were rarely observed in eyes treated with PF-latanoprost group, but markedly infiltrated CL and peripheral cornea in eyes exposed to 0.02% BAK or and BAK-preserved latanoprost. Only few studies aimed at evaluating CL were conducted in humans; these studies used IVCM to investigate the effects of IOP lowering medications analysing the morphology of the limbal transition epithelium (LTE, Figure 5) and palisades of Vogt (POV), and the density of dendritic cells (DCs) (70, 71). LTE showed worse regularity in patients controlled with preserved PGAs or preserved beta-blockers, whereas did not show severe changes in patients treated with PF drugs. The most important change was found on DCs, which presented a higher density in patients taking preserved PGAs or beta-blockers compared with patients treated with PF formulations (Figure 6). Moreover, PF PGAs showed a similar DC density compared with PF beta-blockers. This result indicates the corneal inflammatory status increases in glaucomatous patients treated PGAs, particularly at limbus; however, the absence of significant differences between preserved PGA and preserved beta-blockers or between PF PGA and PF b-blockers, does not allow us to determine whether the preservative or the active compound plays the main role in the final DC increase. By critically analysing data, both preservative and active compounds cooperate in recruiting DCs, because preserved PGA produced the highest degree of DCs stimulation. Finally, palisades of Vogt showed punctate reflecting elements in PGAs users, this indicating a deep drug-induced inflammation.

Corneal epithelial modifications. In an in vitro study of corneal epithelium, Pauly et al. found that while 0.02% BAK and BAK preserved-latanoprost decreased the cell viability to about 50% by inducing apoptosis of apical layers of the epithelium, PF-latanoprost slightly decreased cell viability to 83% with few relatively apoptotic cells (69). Also, an in vivo study by Martone et al. (72) confirmed the reduction of corneal innervation in the superficial epithelium in patients treated with preserved formulations, without difference between PGAs and other drugs. These changes were interpreted as a direct toxic effect of BAK on the epithelium, rather than effects of active compounds.

Corneal stroma and endothelial changes. Stromal keratocyte activation was observed in patients treated with beta-blockers/PGA unfixed combination therapy and was hypothesized to be an effect of inflammation, apoptosis and increased proteolytic activity. Bergonzi et al. (73) reported similar results, documenting an increase of the keratocyte density in PGA users, especially in the anterior corneal layer. The authors indicated that the increase of keratocyte density is linked to extracellular collagen degradation, due to activation of metalloproteinases and inhibition of tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases. Alterations of the number and density of sub-basal plexus nerves (74, 75), bead-like formations, along with increased nerve tortuosity were additional stromal features that were more pronounced in patients receiving preserved drugs (Figure 7). In fact, the use of PF tafluprost did not induce modifications of epithelial cells or keratocyte activation, and did not modify the number of sub-basal nerves or the grade of nerve tortuosity. Ranno et al. investigated the anterior and posterior corneal features (76), focusing on corneal nerve fiber and endothelial cell density in eyes treated with beta-blockers and PGAs for at least two years. A significant difference was found in nerve fiber number, tortuosity, reflectivity, and endothelial cell density in treated eyes compared to controls and naïve to therapy glaucomatous patients. The intraclass analysis revealed that PGAs and beta-blockers had similar results for nerve number, tortuosity, reflectivity or number of endothelial cells. This study is the first that documented a lower endothelium density in patients receiving PGAs.

Conclusion

In closing, PGAs induce several modifications of ocular surface and adnexa, that can be recognized in vivo and in vitro, but none reduces the overall safety profile of this class of drugs. Moreover, the changes in the ocular surface do not modify the IOP lowering efficacy of PGAs. The periocular changes are due to an accumulation of PGAs as the intact molecule, is dose-dependent, and is mediated by stimulation of FP receptors. Furthermore, they are almost in part reversible when the patients are shifted to PF-PGAs. GCs and CEM modifications are consistent with the mechanism of action of PGAs, which enhance trans-scleral and trans-conjunctival outflow by remodeling the extracellular matrix and tissue permeability. Conversely, corneal changes are more likely due to the inflammatory effects of PGAs. In PF-PGAs users, the negative toxic effects induced by preservatives are strongly reduced, this highlighting the main role of preservatives, thus, supporting the choice of PF-PGAs for long-term therapies.
