摘要
The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) is a pivotal nuclear receptor involved in mediating cellular responses to a wide range of environmental pollutants and endogenous ligands. AHR plays a central role in regulating essential physiological processes, including xenobiotic metabolism, immune response modulation, cell cycle control, tumorigenesis, and developmental events. Recent studies have identified AHR as a critical mediator and a potential therapeutic target in the pathogenesis of ocular diseases. This review provides a thorough analysis of the various functions of AHR signalling in the ocular environment, with a specific emphasis on its effects on the retina, retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), choroid, and cornea. We provide a detailed discussion on the molecular mechanisms through which AHR integrates environmental and endogenous signals, influencing the development and progression of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), retinitis pigmentosa, uveitis, and other major ocular disorders. Furthermore, we evaluate the therapeutic potential of modulating AHR activity through novel ligands and agonists as a strategy for treating eye diseases. Understanding the molecular mechanisms of AHR in ocular tissues may facilitate the development of AHR-targeted therapies, which is crucial for addressing the pressing clinical demand for novel treatment strategies in ocular diseases.
