Protein kinase C-inhibition reduces critical weight loss and improves functional outcome after experimental subarachnoid haemorrhage. J Stroke Cerebrovasc Dis 2024; 33:107728. [PMID: 38643942 DOI: 10.1016/j.jstrokecerebrovasdis.2024.107728] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/17/2023] [Revised: 04/15/2024] [Accepted: 04/18/2024] [Indexed: 04/23/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) carries a high burden of morbidity and mortality. One in three patients develop vasospasm, which is associated with Delayed Cerebral Ischemia. The pathophysiology includes vasoconstrictor receptor upregulation in cerebral arteries. The protein kinase C - inhibitor RO-31-7549 reduces the expression of several vasoconstrictor receptors and normalizes cerebral blood flow in experimental SAH but functional and behavioural effects are unknown. This study was undertaken to analyse functional outcomes up to 14 days after experimental SAH. MATERIALS AND METHODS 54 male rats were randomised to experimental SAH or sham, using the pre-chiasmatic, single injection model, and subsequent treatment or vehicle. 42 remained for final analysis. The animals were euthanized on day 14 or when reaching a humane endpoint. The primary endpoint was overall survival, defined as either spontaneous mortality or when reaching a predefined humane endpoint. The secondary outcomes were differences in the rotating pole test, weight, open field test, novel object recognition and qPCR of selected inflammatory markers. RESULTS In the vehicle group 6/15 rats reached the humane endpoint of >20 % weight loss compared to 1/14 in the treatment group. This resulted in a significant reduced risk of early euthanasia due to >20 % weight loss of HR 0.15 (0.03-0.66, p = 0.04). Furthermore, the treatment group did significantly better on the rotating pole test, RR 0.64 (0.47-0.91, p = 0.02). CONCLUSION RO-31-7549 improved outcomes in terms >20 % weight loss and rotating pole performance after experimental SAH and could be investigated.

[PMID: 38709145 DOI: 10.1111/ene.16326] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/18/2023] [Revised: 03/28/2024] [Accepted: 04/18/2024] [Indexed: 05/07/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The causal association between inflammatory cytokines and the development of intracranial aneurysm (IA), unruptured IA (uIA) and subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) lacks clarity. METHODS The summary-level datasets for inflammatory cytokines were extracted from a genome-wide association study of the Finnish Cardiovascular Risk in Young Adults Study and the FINRISK survey. The summary statistics datasets related to IA, uIA and SAH were obtained from the genome-wide association study meta-analysis of the International Stroke Genetics Consortium and FinnGen Consortium. The primary method employed for analysis was inverse variance weighting (false discovery rate), supplemented by sensitivity analyses to address pleiotropy and enhance robustness. RESULTS In the International Stroke Genetics Consortium, 10, six and eight inflammatory cytokines exhibited a causal association with IA, uIA and SAH, respectively (false discovery rate, p < 0.05). In FinnGen datasets, macrophage Inflammatory Protein-1 Alpha (MIP_1A), MIP_1A and interferon γ-induced protein 10 (IP_10) were verified for IA, uIA and SAH, respectively. In the reverse Mendelian randomization analysis, the common cytokines altered by uIA and SAH were vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), MIP_1A, IL_9, IL_10 and IL_17, respectively. The meta-analysis results show that MIP_1A and IP_10 could be associated with the decreased risk of IA, and MIP_1A and IP_10 were associated with the decreased risk of uIA and SAH, respectively. Notably, the levels of VEGF, MIP_1A, IL_9, IL_10 and TNF_A were increased with uIA. Comprehensive heterogeneity and pleiotropy analyses confirmed the robustness of these results. CONCLUSION Our study unveils a bidirectional association between inflammatory cytokines and IA, uIA and SAH. Further investigations are essential to validate their relationship and elucidate the underlying mechanisms.

Abstract
Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a severe acute neurological disorder with a high fatality rate. Early brain injury (EBI) and cerebral vasospasm are two critical complications of SAH that significantly contribute to poor prognosis. Currently, surgical intervention and interventional therapy are the main treatment options for SAH, but their effectiveness is limited. Exosomes, which are a type of extracellular vesicles, play a crucial role in intercellular communication and have been extensively studied in the past decade due to their potential influence on disease progression, diagnosis, and treatment. As one of the most important components of exosomes, miRNA plays both direct and indirect roles in affecting disease progression. Previous research has found that exosomal miRNA is involved in the development of various diseases, such as tumors, chronic hepatitis, atherosclerosis, diabetes, and SAH. This review focuses on exploring the impact of exosomal miRNA on SAH, including its influence on neuronal apoptosis, inflammatory response, and immune activation following SAH. Furthermore, this review highlights the potential clinical applications of exosomal miRNA in the treatment of SAH. Although current research on this topic is limited and the clinical application of exosomal miRNA has inherent limitations, we aim to provide a concise summary of existing research progress and offer new insights for future research directions and trends in this field.

Abstract
Intraventricular hemorrhage is a potentially life-threatening condition. Approximately 20% of patients develop posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus with increased ventricular volume and intracranial pressure. Hydrocephalus develops partially due to increased secretion of cerebrospinal fluid by the choroid plexus. During hemorrhage a multitude of factors are released into the cerebrospinal fluid. Many of these have been implicated in the hypersecretion. In this study, we have investigated the isolated effect of inflammatory components, on the abundance of two membrane transporters involved in cerebrospinal fluid secretion by the choroid plexus: the Na+-dependent Cl-/HCO3- exchanger, Ncbe, and the Na+, K+, 2Cl- cotransporter, NKCC1. We have established a primary choroid plexus epithelial cell culture from 1 to 7 days old mouse pups. Seven days after seeding, the cells formed a monolayer. The cells were treated with either tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα), interleukin 1 beta (IL-1β), or interleukin 6 (IL-6) to mimic inflammation. The data show that treatment with TNFα, and IL-1β only transiently increased NKCC1 abundance whereas the effect on Ncbe abundance was a transient decrease. IL-6 however significantly increased NKCC1 (242%), the phosphorylated NKCC1 (147%), as well as pSPAK (406%) abundance, but had no effect on Ncbe. This study suggests that the inflammatory pathway involved in hypersecretion primarily is mediated by activation of basolateral receptors in the choroid plexus, mainly facilitated by IL-6. This study highlights the complexity of the pathophysiological circumstances occurring during intraventricular hemorrhage.

Abstract
Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a prevalent cerebrovascular disease with significant global mortality and morbidity rates. Despite advancements in pharmacological and surgical approaches, the quality of life for SAH survivors has not shown substantial improvement. Traditionally, vasospasm has been considered a primary contributor to death and disability following SAH, but anti-vasospastic therapies have not demonstrated significant benefits for SAH patients' prognosis. Emerging studies suggest that early brain injury (EBI) may play a crucial role in influencing SAH prognosis. Sirtuins (SIRTs), a group of NAD + -dependent deacylases comprising seven mammalian family members (SIRT1 to SIRT7), have been found to be involved in neural tissue development, plasticity, and aging. They also exhibit vital functions in various central nervous system (CNS) processes, including cognition, pain perception, mood, behavior, sleep, and circadian rhythms. Extensive research has uncovered the multifaceted roles of SIRTs in CNS disorders, offering insights into potential markers for pathological processes and promising therapeutic targets (such as SIRT1 activators and SIRT2 inhibitors). In this article, we provide an overview of recent research progress on the application of SIRTs in subarachnoid hemorrhage and explore their underlying mechanisms of action.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine whether leucine-rich alpha-2 glycoprotein 1 (LRG1) is a potential prognostic and severity biomarker in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). METHODS This observational and prospective study included 44 patients with aSAH from Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital from June to December 2020. Concentrations of LRG1 in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay within 24 hours after aSAH. We further determined the relationship of CSF LRG1 levels with disease severity and prognosis 3 months after aSAH. RESULTS Higher CSF LRG1 levels were associated with a higher Hunt-Hess grade (P < 0.05). Using univariate analysis, poor outcomes at 3 months were associated with higher World Federation of Neurological Surgeons scale grade, higher Hunt-Hess grade, higher CSF LRG1 levels, and higher Fisher grade. Logistic regression analysis revealed a significant impact of LRG1 on poor outcomes as well as after adjustment for confounding factors. CONCLUSIONS These findings suggest an increase in CSF LRG1 levels in patients with aSAH, which may serve as a potential biomarker of unfavorable prognosis and disease severity.

Abstract
Matricellular proteins have been implicated in pathologies after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). To find a new therapeutic molecular target, the present study aimed to clarify the relationships between serially measured plasma levels of a matricellular protein, secreted protein acidic and rich in cysteine (SPARC), and delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) in 117 consecutive aneurysmal SAH patients with admission World Federation of Neurological Surgeons (WFNS) grades I-III. DCI developed in 25 patients with higher incidences of past history of hypertension and dyslipidemia, preoperative WFNS grade III, modified Fisher grade 4, spinal drainage, and angiographic vasospasm. Plasma SPARC levels were increased after SAH, and significantly higher in patients with than without DCI at days 7-9, and in patients with VASOGRADE-Yellow compared with VASOGRADE-Green at days 1-3 and 7-9. However, there were no relationships between plasma SPARC levels and angiographic vasospasm. Receiver-operating characteristic curves differentiating DCI from no DCI determined the cut-off value of plasma SPARC ≥ 82.1 ng/ml at days 7 - 9 (sensitivity, 0.800; specificity, 0.533; and area under the curve, 0.708), which was found to be an independent determinant of DCI development in multivariate analyses. This is the first study to show that SPARC is upregulated in peripheral blood after SAH, and that SPARC may be involved in the development of DCI without angiographic vasospasm in a clinical setting.

Abstract
Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) is an uncommon and severe subtype of stroke leading to the loss of many years of productive life. We analyzed NLRP3 activity as well as key components of the inflammasome cascade in monocytes and plasma from 28 patients with aSAH and 14 normal controls using flow cytometry, western blot, ELISA, and qPCR technologies. Our data reveal that monocytes from patients with aSAH present an overactivation of the NLRP3 inflammasome, which results in the presence of high plasma levels of interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-18, gasdermin D, and tissue factor. Although further research is needed, we propose that serum tissue factor concentration might be a useful prognosis biomarker for clinical outcome, and for Tako-Tsubo cardiomyopathy and cerebral vasospasm prediction. Remarkably, MCC-950 inhibitor effectively blocks NLRP3 activation in aSAH monocyte culture and supresses tissue factor release to the extracellular space. Finally, our findings suggest that NLRP3 activation could be due to the release of erythrocyte breakdown products to the subarachnoid space during aSAH event. These data define NLRP3 activation in monocytes from aSAH patients, indicating systemic inflammation that results in serum TF upregulation which in turns correlates with aSAH severity and might serve as a prognosis biomarker for aSAH clinical outcome and for cerebral vasospasm and Tako-Tsubo cardiomyopathy prediction.

Biological Effects and Mechanisms of Caspases in Early Brain Injury after Subarachnoid Hemorrhage. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2022; 2022:3345637.

Abstract
Caspases are an evolutionarily conserved family of proteases responsible for mediating and initiating cell death signals. In the past, the dysregulated activation of caspases was reported to play diverse but equally essential roles in neurodegenerative diseases, such as brain injury and neuroinflammatory diseases. A subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a traumatic event that is either immediately lethal or induces a high risk of stroke and neurological deficits. Currently, the prognosis of SAH after treatment is not ideal. Early brain injury (EBI) is considered one of the main factors contributing to the poor prognosis of SAH. The mechanisms of EBI are complex and associated with oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, blood-brain barrier disruption, and cell death. Based on mounting evidence, caspases are involved in neuronal apoptosis or death, endothelial cell apoptosis, and increased inflammatory cytokine-induced by apoptosis, pyroptosis, and necroptosis in the initial stages after SAH. Caspases can simultaneously mediate multiple death modes and regulate each other. Caspase inhibitors (including XIAP, VX-765, and Z-VAD-FMK) play an essential role in ameliorating EBI after SAH. In this review, we explore the related pathways mediated by caspases and their reciprocal regulation patterns after SAH. Furthermore, we focus on the extensive crosstalk of caspases as a potential area of research on therapeutic strategies for treating EBI after SAH.

Abstract
Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a common cerebrovascular disease with high mortality and disability rates. Despite progressive advances in drugs and surgical techniques, neurological dysfunction in surviving SAH patients have not improved significantly. Traditionally, vasospasm has been considered the main cause of death and disability following SAH, but anti-vasospasm therapy has not benefited clinical prognosis. Many studies have proposed that early brain injury (EBI) may be the primary factor influencing the prognosis of SAH. Melatonin is an indole hormone and is the main hormone secreted by the pineal gland, with low daytime secretion levels and high nighttime secretion levels. Melatonin produces a wide range of biological effects through the neuroimmune endocrine network, and participates in various physiological activities in the central nervous system, reproductive system, immune system, and digestive system. Numerous studies have reported that melatonin has extensive physiological and pharmacological effects such as anti-oxidative stress, anti-inflammation, maintaining circadian rhythm, and regulating cellular and humoral immunity. In recent years, more and more studies have been conducted to explore the molecular mechanism underlying melatonin-induced neuroprotection. The studies suggest beneficial effects in the recovery of intracerebral hemorrhage, cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury, spinal cord injury, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and meningitis through anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and anti-apoptotic mechanisms. This review summarizes the recent studies on the application and mechanism of melatonin in SAH.
