Glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness globally. Growing scientific evidence indicated that inflammation of the trabecular meshwork induced by corneal endotheliitis could lead to secondary glaucoma. Cytomegalovirus (CMV) has been identified as the most common herpes virus in corneal endotheliitis patients.

Noninfectious (autoimmune and immune-mediated) uveitis is one of the primary diseases leading to blindness in the world. Due to the limitation of current first-line drugs for clinical uveitis, novel drugs and targets against uveitis are urgently needed. Ganciclovir (GCV), an FDA-approved antiviral drug, is often used to treat cytomegalovirus-induced retinitis in clinical patients.

Purpose: Retinitis induced by both human and murine cytomegaloviruses following immunosuppression is characterized by progressive loss of retinal architecture, due to necrosis of virus-infected cells as well as widespread apoptosis of uninfected bystander cells. Because small inhibitory RNA molecules (siRNA) can reduce murine cytomegalovirus (MCMV) gene expression and thereby inhibit virus replication in vitro, we tested siRNAs directed against MCMV immediate early protein-3 (IE-3) to determine if MCMV-induced retinitis could be alleviated in vivo.
Methods: Immunosuppressed Balb/c mice (2.
