Abstract
Aneurismal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) is a neurovascular disease produced by the rupture of the cerebral arteries and the extravasation of blood to the subarachnoid space and is accompanied by severe comorbidities. Secondarily associated vasospasm is one of the main side effects after hydrocephalus and possible rebleeding. Here, we analyze the alterations in function in the arteries of a rat model of SAH. For this, autologous blood was injected into the cisterna magna. We performed electrophysiological, microfluorimetric, and molecular biology experiments at different times after SAH to determine the functional and molecular changes induced by the hemorrhage. Our results confirmed that in SAH animals, arterial myocytes were depolarized on days 5 and 7, had higher [Ca2+]i on baseline, peaks and plateaus, and were more excitable at low levels of depolarization on day 7, than in the control and sham animals. Microarray analysis showed that, on day 7, the sets of genes related to voltage-dependent Ca2+ channels and K+ dynamics in SAH animals decreased, while the voltage-independent Ca2+ dynamics genes were over-represented. In conclusion, after SAH, several mechanisms involved in arterial reactivity were altered in our animal model, suggesting that there is no unique cause of vasospasm and alterations in several signaling pathways are involved in its development.

Abstract
Cerebral vasospasm (CV) is a significant complication following aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH), and lacks a comprehensive molecular understanding. Given the temporal trajectory of intracranial aneurysm (IA) formation, its rupture, and development of CV, altered gene expression might be a molecular substrate that runs through these clinical events, influencing both disease inception and progression. Utilizing RNA-Seq, we analyzed tissue samples from ruptured IAs with and without vasospasm to identify the dysregulated genes. In addition, temporal gene expression analysis was conducted. We identified seven dysregulated genes in patients with ruptured IA with vasospasm when compared with those without vasospasm. We found 192 common genes when the samples of each clinical subset of patients with IA, that is, unruptured aneurysm, ruptured aneurysm without vasospasm, and ruptured aneurysm with vasospasm, were compared with control samples. Among these common genes, TNFSF13B, PLAUR, OSM, and LAMB3 displayed temporal expression (progressive increase) with the pathological progression of disease that is formation of aneurysm, its rupture, and consequently the development of vasospasm. We validated the temporal gene expression pattern of OSM at both the transcript and protein levels and OSM emerges as a crucial gene implicated in the pathological progression of disease. In addition, RSAD2 and ATP1A2 appear to be pivotal genes for CV development. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to compare the transcriptome of aneurysmal tissue samples of aSAH patients with and without CV. The findings collectively provide new insights on the molecular basis of IA and CV and new leads for translational research.

Abstract
Subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) is a type of hemorrhagic stroke that is associated with high morbidity and mortality. New effective treatments are needed to improve outcomes. The pathophysiology of SAH is complex and includes early brain injury and delayed cerebral ischemia, both of which are characterized by blood–brain barrier (BBB) impairment. We isolated brain endothelial cells (BECs) from mice subjected to SAH by injection of blood into the prechiasmatic cistern. We used gene expression profiling to identify 707 unique genes (2.8% of transcripts, 403 upregulated, 304 downregulated, 24,865 interrogated probe sets) that were significantly differentially expressed in mouse BECs after SAH. The pathway involving prostaglandin synthesis and regulation was significantly upregulated after SAH, including increased expression of the Ptgs2 gene and its corresponding COX-2 protein. Celecoxib, a selective COX-2 inhibitor, limited upregulation of Ptgs2 in BECs. In this study, we have defined the gene expression profiling of BECs after experimental SAH and provide further insight into BBB pathophysiology, which may be relevant to other neurological diseases such as traumatic brain injury, brain tumours, ischaemic stroke, multiple sclerosis, and neurodegenerative disorders.

Abstract
Cerebral vasospasm (CV) is a major source of morbidity and mortality in aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). It is thought that an inflammatory cascade initiated by extravasated blood products precipitates CV, disrupting vascular smooth muscle cell function of major cerebral arteries, leading to vasoconstriction. Mechanisms of CV and modes of therapy are an active area of research. Understanding the genetic basis of CV holds promise for the recognition and treatment for this devastating neurovascular event. In our review, we summarize the most recent research involving key areas within the genetics and vasospasm discussion: (1) Prognostic role of genetics—risk stratification based on gene sequencing, biomarkers, and polymorphisms; (2) Signaling pathways—pinpointing key inflammatory molecules responsible for downstream cellular signaling and altering these mediators to provide therapeutic benefit; and (3) Gene therapy and gene delivery—using viral vectors or novel protein delivery methods to overexpress protective genes in the vasospasm cascade.

Abstract
High throughput molecular analysis of veterinary tissue samples is being applied to a wide range of research questions aimed at improving survival, development of diagnostic assays, and improving the economics of commercial production of animal products. Many of these efforts also, implicitly or explicitly, have ramifications for the clinical care of humans and, potentially, animals. Here we provide an overview of applications of gene expression profiling in veterinary research and practice. We then focus on the current state of quality control and quality assurance efforts in gene expression profiling studies, underscoring lessons learned from such analysis of human samples. Finally, we propose practices aimed at ensuring the reliability and reproducibility of such assays. The implementation of quality assurance practices by a trained pathologist is an essential link in the chain of events leading ultimately to reliable and reproducible research findings and appropriate clinical care.
