Abstract
Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is an acute cerebrovascular emergency resulting from the rupture of a brain aneurysm. Despite only accounting for 5% of all strokes, SAH imposes a significant health burden on society due to its relatively young age at onset. Those who survive the initial bleed are often afflicted with severe disabilities thought to result from delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI). Consequently, elucidating the underlying mechanistic pathways implicated in DCI development following SAH remains a priority. Neuroinflammation has recently been implicated as a promising new theory for the development of SAH complications. However, despite this interest, clinical trials have failed to provide consistent evidence for the use of anti-inflammatory agents in SAH patients. This may be explained by the complexity of SAH as a plethora of inflammatory pathways have been shown to be activated in the disease. By determining how these pathways may overlap and interact, we hope to better understand the developmental processes of SAH complications and how to prevent them. The goal of this review is to provide insight into the available evidence regarding the molecular pathways involved in the development of inflammation following SAH and how SAH complications may arise as a result of these inflammatory pathways.

Abstract
Prostaglandin E2 EP3 receptor is the only prostaglandin E2 receptor that couples to multiple G-proteins, but its role in thrombin-induced brain injury is unclear. In the present study, we exposed mouse hippocampal slice cultures to thrombin in vitro and injected mice with intrastriatal thrombin in vivo to investigate the role of EP3 receptor in thrombin-induced brain injury and explore its underlying cellular and molecular mechanisms. In vitro, EP3 receptor inhibition reduced thrombin-induced hippocampal CA1 cell death. In vivo, EP3 receptor was expressed in astrocytes and microglia in the perilesional region. EP3 receptor inhibition reduced lesion volume, neurologic deficit, cell death, matrix metalloproteinase-9 activity, neutrophil infiltration, and the number of CD68(+) microglia, but increased the number of Ym-1(+) M2 microglia. RhoA-Rho kinase levels were increased after thrombin injection and were decreased by EP3 receptor inhibition. In mice that received an intrastriatal injection of autologous arterial blood, inhibition of thrombin activity with hirudin decreased RhoA expression compared with that in vehicle-treated mice. However, EP3 receptor activation reversed this effect of hirudin. These findings show that prostaglandin E2 EP3 receptor contributes to thrombin-induced brain damage via Rho-Rho kinase-mediated cytotoxicity and proinflammatory responses.

Abstract
Acellular hemoglobins developed as oxygen bridging agents with volume expanding properties ("blood substitutes") are prone to autoxidation and oxidant-mediated structural changes in circulation. In the presence of hydrogen peroxide and either ascorbate or urate we show that ferric hemoglobin functions as a true enzymatic peroxidase. The activity saturates with both substrates and is linearly dependent on protein concentration. The activity is enhanced at low pH with a pKa of 4.7, consistent with protonation of the ferryl species (Fe(IV)-OH) as the active intermediate. To test whether these redox reactions define its behaviour in vivo we exchanged transfused guinea pigs with 50% polymerized bovine Hb (PolyHbBv) and monitored plasma levels of endogenous ascorbate and urate. Immediately after transfusion, met PolyHbBv levels increased up to 30% of total Hb and remained at this level during the first 24 h post transfusion. Plasma ascorbate decreased by 50% whereas urate levels remained unchanged after transfusion. A simple kinetic model, assuming that ascorbate was a more active ferric heme reductase and peroxidase substrate than urate, was consistent with the in vivo data. The present finding confirms the primary and secondary roles of ascorbate and urate respectively in maintaining the oxidative stability of infused Hb.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Delayed cerebral ischemia due to cerebral vasospasm remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality following subarachnoid hemorrhage. Oxyhemoglobin (OxyHb) and vasoconstrictor prostanoids have been suggested as putative spasmogens. We have previously reported a synergistic vasoconstrictive action between thromboxane A(2) (TXA(2)) and OxyHb. In the present study we examine the effect of neomycin, a phospholipase C inhibitor, on the cerebral vasoconstriction induced by TXA(2) and OxyHb. METHODS Using an in vitro tissue bath method, we assess the effect of neomycin in a concentration-dependent manner, on isolated porcine basilar arteries constricted by U-46619 (TXA(2) analogue) and OxyHb. RESULTS The functional synergism between TXA(2) and OxyHb, leading to significant cerebral vasoconstriction, is attenuated in a dose-dependent manner by neomycin. CONCLUSION Blockade of phospholipase C may provide an alternative strategy in the treatment of subarachnoid-hemorrhage-induced cerebral vasospasm.

Abstract
Inhibition of neuronal cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and hence prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) synthesis by non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs has been suggested to protect neuronal cells in a variety of pathophysiological situations including Alzheimer's disease and ischemic stroke. Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) has also been shown to protect cerebral tissue in a variety of experimental conditions, which has been attributed to its antioxidant capacity. In the present study, we show that ascorbic acid dose-dependently inhibited interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta)-mediated PGE2 synthesis in the human neuronal cell line, SK-N-SH. Furthermore, in combination with aspirin, ascorbic acid augmented the inhibitory effect of aspirin on PGE2 synthesis. However, ascorbic acid had no synergistic effect along with other COX inhibitors (SC-58125 and indomethacin). The inhibition of IL-1beta-mediated PGE2 synthesis by ascorbic acid was not due to the inhibition of the expression of COX-2 or microsomal prostaglandin E synthase (mPGES-1). Rather, ascorbic acid dose-dependently (0.1-100 microM) produced a significant reduction in IL-1beta-mediated production of 8-iso-prostaglandin F2alpha (8-iso-PGF2alpha), a reliable indicator of free radical formation, suggesting that the effects of ascorbic acid on COX-2-mediated PGE2 biosynthesis may be the result of the maintenance of the neuronal redox status since COX activity is known to be enhanced by oxidative stress. Our results provide in vitro evidence that the neuroprotective effects of ascorbic acid may depend, at least in part, on its ability to reduce neuronal COX-2 activity and PGE2 synthesis, owing to its antioxidant properties. Further, these experiments suggest that a combination of aspirin with ascorbic acid constitutes a novel approach to render COX-2 more sensitive to inhibition by aspirin, allowing an anti-inflammatory therapy with lower doses of aspirin, thereby avoiding the side effects of the usually high dose aspirin treatment.

Abstract
OBJECT The mechanisms leading to vasospasm following subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) remain unclear. Accumulation in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of free fatty acids (FFAs) may play a role in the development of vasospasm; however, in no previous study have concentrations of FFAs in CSF been examined after SAH. METHODS We collected samples of CSF from 20 patients with SAH (18 cases of aneurysmal SAH and two cases of spontaneous cryptogenic SAH) and used a high-performance liquid chromatography assay to determine the FFA concentrations in these samples. We then compared these findings with FFA concentrations in the CSF of control patients. All FFA concentrations measured 24 hours after SAH were significantly greater than control concentrations (p < 0.01 for palmitic acid and < 0.001 for all other FFAs). All measured FFAs remained elevated for the first 48 hours after SAH (p < 0.05 for linoleic acid, p < 0.01 for palmitic acid, and p < 0.001 for the other FFAs). After 7 days, a second elevation in all FFAs was observed (p < 0.05 for linoleic acid, p < 0.01 for palmitic acid, and p < 0.001 for the other FFAs). Samples of CSF collected within 48 hours after SAH from patients in whom angiography and clinical examination confirmed the development of vasospasm after SAH were found to have significantly higher concentrations of arachidonic, linoleic, and palmitic acids than samples collected from patients in whom vasospasm did not develop (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Following SAH, all FFAs are initially elevated. A secondary elevation occurs between 8 and 10 days after SAH. This study provides preliminary evidence of FFA elevation following SAH and of a potential role for FFAs in SAH-induced vasospasm. A prospective study is warranted to determine if CSF concentrations of FFAs are predictive of vasospasm.

Abstract
Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage frequently results in complications including intracranial hypertension, rebleeding and vasospasm. The extravasated blood is responsible for a cascade of reactions involving release of various vasoactive and pro-inflammatory factors (several of which are purported to induce vasospasm) from blood and vascular components in the subarachnoid space. The authors review the available evidence linking these factors to the development of inflammatory lesions of the cerebral vasculature, emphasizing: 1) neurogenic inflammation due to massive release of sensory nerve neuropeptides; 2) hemoglobin from lysed erythrocytes, which creates functional lesions of endothelial and smooth muscle cells; 3) activity, expression and metabolites of lipoxygenases cyclooxygenases and nitric oxide synthases; 4) the possible role of endothelin-1 as a pro-inflammatory agent; 5) serotonin, histamine and bradykinin which are especially involved in blood-brain barrier disruption; 6) the prothrombotic and pro-inflammatory action of complement and thrombin towards endothelium; 7) the multiple actions of activated platelets, including platelet-derived growth factor production; 8) the presence of perivascular and intramural macrophages and granulocytes and their interaction with adhesion molecules; 9) the evolution, origins, and effects of pro-inflammatory cytokines, especially IL-1, TNF-alpha and IL-6. Human and animal studies on the use of anti-inflammatory agents in subarachnoid hemorrhage include superoxide and other radical scavengers, lipid peroxidation inhibitors, iron chelators, NSAIDs, glucocorticoids, and serine protease inhibitors. Many animal studies claim reduced vasospasm, but these effects are not always confirmed in human trials, where symptomatic vasospasm and outcome are the major endpoints. Despite recent work on penetrating vessel constriction, there is a paucity of studies on inflammatory markers in the microcirculation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We investigated the expression in rabbit basilar arteries of cyclooxygenase (COX)-2, which is the inducible isoform of the enzyme of prostaglandin (PG) production, and the concentrations of the proinflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha) and representative PGs in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) after experimental subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). METHODS Seven sets of basilar arteries were removed from control rabbits and from rabbits killed 1 and 3 days after induced SAH. The arteries were subjected to identical simultaneous immunolabeling for examination with a confocal microscope. One-half of each artery was stained for the constitutive form COX-1 and the other half for COX-2. CSF was sampled in control animals and at 6 hours, 1 day, and 3 days for assays of TNFalpha, PGE2, and 6-keto-PGF1 (metabolite of PGI2). RESULTS COX-1 immunoreactivity in the endothelial layer was similar in the three groups. Weak endothelial COX-2 immunoreactivity was found in arteries of control animals. COX-2 staining was higher in the group killed at 3 days compared with the control group (P < 0.05). The levels of PGE2 and 6-keto-PGF1alpha in the CSF peaked significantly at 6 hours, then decreased at 3 days to the basal level (PGE2) or significantly lower (6-keto-PGF1). TNFalpha was undetectable in control CSF, significantly higher (P < 0.001) at 6 hours, and undetectable at 3 days. CONCLUSION After SAH, endothelial COX-1 immunoreactivity does not change, whereas overexpression of COX-2 occurs at 3 days. This induction does not seem linked to TNFalpha production, nor is it responsible for early raised levels of PGE2 and PGI2 in the CSF. We suggest that the role of induced COX-2 may be to modify gene expression and hence alter the properties of the vessel wall after SAH.

Abstract
A cell culture model of bovine aortic endothelial cells attached to microcarrier beads was used to study the interaction of diaspirin cross-linked hemoglobin (an oxygen-carrying blood substitute) with hypoxia-reoxygenation. Hemoglobin (200 microM) and hypoxia-volume restriction (3-5 h), together and separately, caused toxicity in this model, as measured by decreased cellular replating efficiency. Hemoglobin (60 microM) caused a reduction in hydrogen peroxide concentration and an increase in lipid peroxidation above that induced by hypoxia alone. Incubation of hemoglobin with endothelial cells caused transient oxidation of hemoglobin to its highly reactive and toxic ferryl species after >/=3 h of hypoxia, followed by 1 h of reoxygenation. Lipid peroxidation, which may occur in the presence of ferrylhemoglobin, also occurred after 1 h of reoxygenation. Hemoglobin caused a dose-dependent decrease in intracellular glutathione concentration, suggesting that it caused an oxidative stress to the cells. However, addition of ascorbate, alpha-tocopherol, or trolox did not decrease hemoglobin oxidation in the presence of normal or hypoxic cells. It is concluded that diaspirin cross-linked hemoglobin forms a ferryl intermediate in the absence of any exogenously added oxidant and contributes to the oxidative burden experienced by endothelial cells after hypoxia-reoxygenation, a condition that is likely to be encountered during trauma and surgery when hemoglobin solutions are used as perfusion agents.

Abstract
The initial aim of this study was to determine if the HSP70 (the main inducible heat shock protein), HO-1 (heme oxygenase-1, HSP32) and HSP47 (a collagen chaperone) stress proteins were induced in the same focal regions of rat brain following experimental subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). The next objective was to determine whether anti-oxidants prevented the stress gene expression in the focal regions. Lysed blood (150 microliter) was injected into the subarachnoid space of adult, female Sprague-Dawley rats via the cisterna magna. Animals were sacrificed 24 h later. Immunocytochemistry showed focal regions of stress gene induction in most animals (13/21), HSP70 and HO-1 proteins being expressed in neurons, microglia and astrocytes and HSP47 being expressed in microglia. Co-induction of the same three stress proteins was observed in focal areas in the striatum and cerebellum as well. In the 13 animals with focal regions of stress gene induction there were 8.1+/-1.8 foci in cortex, 5.5+/-0.9 foci in striatum, and 11.7+/-7.3 foci in cerebellum in the brain of each animal. The focal regions of stress gene induction varied in size from 200 micrometer to 7 mm in diameter. Systemic administration of the tirilazad-like anti-oxidants U101033E (n=8) and U74389G (n=7) completely blocked stress protein induction in focal brain regions normally produced by cisternal injections of lysed blood. There were fewer drug treated animals (0/15) with focal areas of stress gene induction compared to non-drug (13/21) treated animals following the cisternal lysed blood injections (p<0.01 using Fisher's probability test). This study shows that anti-oxidants prevent focal regions of injury as assessed by heat shock protein expression in a rat model of SAH.

Abstract
1. We studied the effect exerted by hr-interleukin-1alpha (IL-1alpha) on responsiveness of alveolar macrophages (AM) from naive and sensitized guinea-pigs, through O2.- production (by ferricytochrome C reduction), platelet-activating factor (PAF) release (by platelet aggregation), prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) release (by a radioimmunoassay), and cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2) activity (by hydrolysis of radioactive substrate). 2. In naive guinea-pig AM, 0.06 nM hr-IL-1alpha pretreatment decreased by 65% O2.- release stimulated with 10 nM fMLP. In contrast, O2.- production was not affected in sensitized guinea-pig AM. 3. O2.- release elicited by fMLP stimulation in both cell groups was affected by PLA2 inhibitors (10 microM bromophenacyl bromide, BPB or 10 microM methylprednisolone, MP). In contrast, 10 microM arachidonyl trifluoromethyl ketone (AACOCF3), a cPLA2 inhibitor, was ineffective. 4. In naive AM, PAF release was elicited by hr-IL-1alpha pretreatment and by separate fMLP-stimulation, but when the stimulus was added to hr-IL-1alpha-pretreated cells inhibition of PAF release was observed. In sensitized AM, PAF release was lower than that found in naive guinea-pig AM in both hr-IL-1alpha-pretreated and fMLP-stimulated cells. 5. PGE2 release was unaffected by hr-IL-1alpha pretreatment and it was decreased by fMLP in both naive and sensitized AMs. The latter released less PGE2 than naive cells in basal conditions and after fMLP treatment. 6. Sensitized AM showed a greater cPLA2 activity in all experimental conditions in comparison to naive cells. cPLA2 activity assayed in the cytosolic fraction was found to be enhanced by hr-IL-1alpha pretreatment and by fMLP stimulation in naive but not in sensitized AM. However, when the stimulus was added to hr-IL-1alpha-pretreated cells we observed a decrease in cPLA2 activity in the cytosol and an increase in the membranes, thus suggesting a translocation of enzymatic activity. 7. In conclusion, hr-IL-1alpha can modulate the responsiveness of AM from naive and sensitized guinea-pigs, as suggested by changes found in the release of PAF and O2.- and in cPLA2 activity; therefore, sensitization itself may affect cellular responsiveness.
