Abstract
The response of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) following a stroke, including subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), has been studied extensively. The main components of this reaction are endothelial cells, pericytes, and astrocytes that affect microglia, neurons, and vascular smooth muscle cells. SAH induces alterations in individual BBB cells, leading to brain homeostasis disruption. Recent experiments have uncovered many pathophysiological cascades affecting the BBB following SAH. Targeting some of these pathways is important for restoring brain function following SAH. BBB injury occurs immediately after SAH and has long-lasting consequences, but most changes in the pathophysiological cascades occur in the first few days following SAH. These changes determine the development of early brain injury as well as delayed cerebral ischemia. SAH-induced neuroprotection also plays an important role and weakens the negative impact of SAH. Supporting some of these beneficial cascades while attenuating the major pathophysiological pathways might be decisive in inhibiting the negative impact of bleeding in the subarachnoid space. In this review, we attempt a comprehensive overview of the current knowledge on the molecular and cellular changes in the BBB following SAH and their possible modulation by various drugs and substances.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is one of the life-threatening diseases with high morbidity and mortality rates. SUMO-specific proteases 3 (SENP3), a member of the small ubiquitin-like modifier specific protease family, was identified as an isopeptidase that deconjugates SUMOylation (The covalent modification by SUMO) of modified protein substrates. It is reported that SUMO-2/3 conjugation, a member of SUMOylation, presented neuroprotection. The study aimed to evaluate the expression of SENP3 and to explore its potential role in SAH. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 108 Sprague Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into 2 parts experiment and 9 subgroups (part 1:Sham group, SAH group, SAH+NAC group, SAH+vehicle group; part 2: Sham group, SAH group, SAH+lv-SENP3 group, SAH+lv-null group, SAH+NS group). 7 days before SAH, lentivirus was administrated into rats׳ left lateral ventricle to down-regulate SENP3. Experimental SAH was imitated by injection with 0.3ml nonheparinized autoblood into the prechiasmatic cistern. MDA levels, SOD activities, and GSH contents were detected to evaluate oxidative stress level. SENP3 and cleaved caspase 3 were detected by western blot, apoptosis was observed by TUNEL staining. RESULTS High oxidative stress level following SAH induced rising of SENP3. And inhibition of SENP3 by lentivirus induces suppression of apoptosis in experimental subarachnoid hemorrhage in rats. CONCLUSION When SENP3 accumulated by high oxidative stress, caspase 3 activated subsequently. And it leads to more severe apoptosis than physiological.

Abstract
Despite decades of study, subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) continues to be a serious and significant health problem in the United States and worldwide. The mechanisms contributing to brain injury after SAH remain unclear. Traditionally, most in vivo research has heavily emphasized the basic mechanisms of SAH over the pathophysiological or morphological changes of delayed cerebral vasospasm after SAH. Unfortunately, the results of clinical trials based on this premise have mostly been disappointing, implicating some other pathophysiological factors, independent of vasospasm, as contributors to poor clinical outcomes. Delayed cerebral vasospasm is no longer the only culprit. In this review, we summarize recent data from both experimental and clinical studies of SAH and discuss the vast array of physiological dysfunctions following SAH that ultimately lead to cell death. Based on the progress in neurobiological understanding of SAH, the terms "early brain injury" and "delayed brain injury" are used according to the temporal progression of SAH-induced brain injury. Additionally, a new concept of the vasculo-neuronal-glia triad model for SAH study is highlighted and presents the challenges and opportunities of this model for future SAH applications.

Abstract
Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a devastating neurological injury associated with significant patient morbidity and death. Since the first demonstration of cerebral vasospasm nearly 60 years ago, the preponderance of research has focused on strategies to limit arterial narrowing and delayed cerebral ischemia following SAH. However, recent clinical and preclinical data indicate a functional dissociation between cerebral vasospasm and neurological outcome, signaling the need for a paradigm shift in the study of brain injury following SAH. Early brain injury may contribute to poor outcome and early death following SAH. However, elucidation of the complex cellular mechanisms underlying early brain injury remains a major challenge. The advent of modern neuroproteomics has rapidly advanced scientific discovery by allowing proteome-wide screening in an objective, nonbiased manner, providing novel mechanisms of brain physiology and injury. In the context of neurosurgery, proteomic analysis of patient-derived CSF will permit the identification of biomarkers and/or novel drug targets that may not be intuitively linked with any particular disease. In the present report, the authors discuss the utility of neuroproteomics with a focus on the roles for this technology in understanding SAH. The authors also provide data from our laboratory that identifies high-mobility group box protein-1 as a potential biomarker of neurological outcome following SAH in humans.

Cytokine 2009; 45:162-8. [PMID: 19144539 DOI: 10.1016/j.cyto.2008.11.015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 37] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/24/2008] [Revised: 11/15/2008] [Accepted: 11/29/2008] [Indexed: 01/19/2023]
Abstract
Previous studies have shown that recombinant human erythropoietin (rhEPO) can attenuate the degree of cerebral vasospasm following experimental subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). However, the mechanisms for this beneficial effect are still poorly understood. SAH-induced endothelial apoptosis may trigger, aggravate, and maintain cerebral vasospasm. We, therefore, tried to analyze whether rhEPO administration influenced the endothelial cell apoptosis in the basilar artery after SAH. Another aim of the current study was to investigate the modulation of rhEPO on the activity of Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3), which played an important role in the signaling of apoptosis. A total of 48 rabbits were randomly divided into four groups; control group, SAH group, SAH+vehicle group, and SAH+rhEPO group. All SAH animals were subjected to injection of autologous blood into cisterna magna twice on day 0 and day 2. The rhEPO was administered i.p. starting 5 min after the induction of SAH on day 0 and repeated every 8 h for 120 h. The basilar arteries were extracted on day 5 after SAH. As a result, we found that administration of rhEPO could activate JAK2 and STAT3 in the basilar artery and decrease the apoptosis index of endothelial cells following SAH. Moreover, the anti-apoptotic genes such as bcl-2 and bcl-xL were up-regulated after the injections of rhEPO. In conclusion, the therapeutic effect of rhEPO on the subsequent vasospasm after SAH may relate to its inhibition on the endothelial apoptosis in the cerebral arteries, which may be mediated in part by JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway.

Abstract
Apoptosis is the term given to programmed cell death, which has been widely connected to a number of intracranial pathologies including stroke, Alzheimer's disease, and more recently subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Subarachnoid hemorrhage is a disease, without any form of effective treatment, that affects mainly the young and middle aged and as a result is responsible for severe disability in otherwise healthy and productive individuals. Despite intense research efforts in the field, we currently possess a very limited understanding of the underlying mechanisms that result in injury after SAH. However, a number of studies have recently indicated that apoptosis may be a major player in the pathogenesis of secondary brain injury after SAH. As a result, the apoptotic cascades present a number of potential therapeutic opportunities that may ameliorate secondary brain injury after SAH. Experimental data suggest that these cascades occur very early after the initial insult and may be related directly to physiologic sequela commonly associated with SAH. It is imperative, therefore, to obtain a thorough understanding of the early events that occur after SAH, which will enable future therapies to be developed.
