Resum
The cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is a waterly, colorless fluid contained within the brain ventricles and the cranial and spinal subarachnoid spaces. CSF physiological functions range from hydromechanical protection of the central nervous system (CNS) to CNS modulation of developmental processes and regulation of interstitial fluid homeostasis. Optic nerve (ON) is surrounded by CSF circulating in the subarachnoid spaces and is exposed to both CSF (CSFP) and intra ocular (IOP) pressures, which converge at the lamina cribrosa (LC) as two opposite forces. The trans-lamina cribrosa pressure gradient (TLPG) is defined as IOP - CSFP and its alterations (due either to an elevation in IOP or a reduction in ICP) could result in structural damaging of the ON, including glaucomatous changes. The purpose of this review is to update the readers on the CSF contribution in controlling the functions/dysfunctions of ON by regulating homeostasis at LC. We also highlight emerging parallelisms regarding the expression of cilia-related genes in the regulation of common functions of body fluids in both brain and eye structures.
