Abstract
AIMS Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a condition that arises due to the rupture of cerebral blood vessels, leading to the flow of blood into the brain tissue. One of the pathological alterations that occurs during an acute ICH is an impairment of the blood-brain barrier (BBB), which leads to severe perihematomal edema and an immune response. DISCUSSION A complex interplay between the cells of the BBB, for example, pericytes, astrocytes, and brain endothelial cells, with resident and infiltrating immune cells, such as microglia, monocytes, neutrophils, T lymphocytes, and others accounts for both damaging and protective mechanisms at the BBB following ICH. However, the precise immunological influence of BBB disruption has yet to be richly ascertained, especially at various stages of ICH. CONCLUSION This review summarizes the changes in different cell types and molecular components of the BBB associated with immune-inflammatory responses during ICH. Furthermore, it highlights promising immunoregulatory therapies to protect the integrity of the BBB after ICH. By offering a comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms behind BBB damage linked to cellular and molecular immunoinflammatory responses after ICH, this article aimed to accelerate the identification of potential therapeutic targets and expedite further translational research.

Front Pharmacol 2024; 15:1293428. [PMID: 38698822 PMCID: PMC11063263 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2024.1293428] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/13/2023] [Accepted: 03/05/2024] [Indexed: 05/05/2024] Open
Abstract
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), a common subtype of hemorrhagic stroke, often causes severe disability or death. ICH induces adverse events that might lead to secondary brain injury (SBI), and there is currently a lack of specific effective treatment strategies. To provide a new direction for SBI treatment post-ICH, the systematic review discussed how thrombin impacts secondary injury after ICH through several potentially deleterious or protective mechanisms. We included 39 studies and evaluated them using SYRCLE's ROB tool. Subsequently, we explored the potential molecular mechanisms of thrombin-mediated effects on SBI post-ICH in terms of inflammation, iron deposition, autophagy, and angiogenesis. Furthermore, we described the effects of thrombin in endothelial cells, astrocytes, pericytes, microglia, and neurons, as well as the harmful and beneficial effects of high and low thrombin concentrations on ICH. Finally, we concluded the current research status of thrombin therapy for ICH, which will provide a basis for the future clinical application of thrombin in the treatment of ICH.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Spatial changes of amine metabolites and histopathology of the whole brain help to reveal the mechanism of traumatic brain injury (TBI) and treatment. METHODS A newly developed liquid microjunction surface sampling-tandem mass tag-ultra performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry technique is applied to profile brain amine metabolites in five brain regions after impact-induced TBI at the subacute stage. H&E, Nissl, and immunofluorescence staining are performed to spatially correlate microscopical changes to metabolic alterations. Then, bioinformatics, molecular docking, ELISA, western blot, and immunofluorescence are integrated to uncover the mechanism of Xuefu Zhuyu decoction (XFZYD) against TBI. RESULTS Besides the hippocampus and cortex, the thalamus, caudate-putamen, and fiber tracts also show differentiated metabolic changes between the Sham and TBI groups. Fourteen amine metabolites (including isomers such as L-leucine and L-isoleucine) are significantly altered in specific regions. The metabolic changes are well matched with the degree of neuronal damage, glia activation, and neurorestoration. XFZYD reverses the dysregulation of several amine metabolites, such as hippocampal Lys-Phe/Phe-Lys and dopamine. Also, XFZYD enhances post-TBI angiogenesis in the hippocampus and the thalamus. CONCLUSION This study reveals the local amine-metabolite and histological changes in the subacute stage of TBI. XFZYD may promote TBI recovery by normalizing amine metabolites and spatially promoting dopamine production and angiogenesis.

A novel strategy of integrating network pharmacology and transcriptome reveals antiapoptotic mechanisms of Buyang Huanwu Decoction in treating intracerebral hemorrhage. JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2024; 319:117123. [PMID: 37673200 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2023.117123] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/18/2023] [Revised: 08/30/2023] [Accepted: 08/31/2023] [Indexed: 09/08/2023]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Buyang Huanwu Decoction (BYHWD), as a traditional Chinese medical prescription, has been used to treat intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) for hundreds of years, but the antiapoptotic properties have not yet been studied. AIM OF THE STUDY This study aims to elucidate the antiapoptotic mechanism of BYHWD in ICH. MATERIALS AND METHODS The therapeutic effect of BYHWD on ICH was assessed by modified neurological severity scores (mNSS), foot fault, and histopathological staining. Then, we used a modified comprehensive strategy by integrating transcriptome and network pharmacology to reveal the underlying mechanism. TUNEL assay, qRT-PCR, and western blot were further applied to evaluate the antiapoptotic effect of BYHWD on ICH. Dual-luciferase reporter assay and plasmid transfections were implemented to validate the potential competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNA) mechanism of Sh2b3. RESULTS Network pharmacology analysis indicated that the regulation of the apoptotic process was the highest enriched GO term, and that MAP kinase activity, ERK1, and ERK2 cascade were strongly correlated. Transcriptome analysis screened 180 differentially expressed mRNAs, which were highly enriched in the immune system process and negative regulation of programmed cell death. By checking the literature, we found that Sh2b3 was of great importance to apoptosis by modulating MAPK cascades. TUNEL assay validated the anti-apoptotic effect of BYHWD. Moreover, BYHWD was proven to regulate the Sh2b3-mediated ERK1/2 signaling pathway in ICH mice by qRT-PCR and western blot. We further explored the lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA network underlying the therapeutic effect, among which 4933404O12Rik/miR-185-5p is the upstream regulatory mechanism of Sh2b3. CONCLUSIONS We explored the antiapoptotic mechanism of BYHWD in treating ICH by a novel integrated strategy, which involved the 4933404O12Rik/miR-185-5p/Sh2b3 ceRNAs axis.

Brain Behav 2023; 13:e3275. [PMID: 37837628 PMCID: PMC10726784 DOI: 10.1002/brb3.3275] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/27/2023] [Revised: 09/27/2023] [Accepted: 09/28/2023] [Indexed: 10/16/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) seriously threatens the health of people. In addition, microglia M1 polarization was confirmed to be involved in the progression of ICH. Rosiglitazone was able to be used as an antidiabetic agent, which could activate PPAR-γ, and PPAR-γ was reported to inhibit inflammation in microglia. However, the detailed function of Rosiglitazone in ICH remains unclear. METHODS In vivo and in vitro experiments were used to test the function of Rosiglitazone in ICH. In addition, RT-qPCR and western blot were performed to evaluate the mRNA and protein level of PPAR-γ, respectively. Immunofluorescence staining was performed to detect the levels of CD206 and CD86, and ELISA was used to measure the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines. RESULTS PPAR-γ was downregulated in ICH mice, whereas p-JNK and p-STAT3 were upregulated. Thrombin notably downregulated the level of PPAR-γ in BV2 cells, whereas Rosiglitazone partially reversed this phenomenon. In addition, Rosiglitazone markedly reversed thrombin-induced microglia M1 polarization. Consistently, thrombin-induced inflammatory response in BV2 cells was abolished in the presence of Rosiglitazone. SP600125 (JNK/STAT3 inhibitor) greatly reversed thrombin-induced M1 polarization in microglia, and GW9662 abolished the effect of SP600125. Meanwhile, Rosiglitazone could inactivate JNK/STAT3 pathway through the upregulation of PPAR-γ. Furthermore, Rosiglitazone notably alleviated the symptom of ICH in vivo through inhibiting the apoptosis and mediating PPAR-γ/JNK/STAT3 axis. CONCLUSION Rosiglitazone could attenuate the inflammation in ICH through inhibiting microglia M1 polarization. Thus, our research would shed now lights on exploring new therapeutic strategies against ICH.

Abstract
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a devastating cerebrovascular associated with inflammation and BBB disruption. Pericytes plays a critical role in neurological diseases, while whether pericytes could be utilized to treat ICH remains to be elucidated. Here, we isolated CD146+CD34- pericytes from rat adipose tissues (ADPs). Fluorescence-activated cells maintained their cell morphology and differentiation potential and expressed pericytes markers (CD146, NG2, and PDGFRβ) but not endothelial markers (CD31, CD34, and CD45). ADPs transplantation improved the neuro-behavioral functions in ICH rats and resulted in decreased hematoma volume and neuron loss after ICH. Besides, ADPs graft restrained the infiltration of neutrophils and reactive microgliosis after ICH injury around the peri-hematoma area of rats, as evidenced by increased Iba1- and MPO immunoreactivity. The transplanted pericytes were covered on endothelial cells, and promoted angiogenesis and vascular basement membrane formation in the peri-hematoma area of ICH rats, as shown by double staining of PDGFRβ and CD31/CollagenIV. The decreased brain water content and Evans Blue leakage proved the protective role of ADPs graft on BBB permeability. Finally, transplanted ADPs increased the expression of VE-cadherin, ZO-1, and claudin-5, leading to stable endothelial cell-cell adhesion and tight junction. In conclusion, the transplantation of APDs improved neuronal after ICH, which involved different mechanisms including neuroinflammation regulation and BBB dysfunction recovery. Our results supported that ADPs might be the ideal cell type for ICH therapy and provided insights into the potential cell therapy for further ICH treatment.

Abstract
Significance: Blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption is a major pathological change after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and is both the cause and result of oxidative stress and of the immune response post-ICH. These processes contribute to ICH-induced brain injury. Recent Advances: After the breakdown of cerebral vessels, blood components, including erythrocytes and their metabolites, thrombin, and fibrinogen, can access the cerebral parenchyma through the compromised BBB, triggering oxidative stress and inflammatory cascades. These aggravate BBB disruption and contribute to further infiltration of blood components, resulting in a vicious cycle that exacerbates brain edema and neurological injury after ICH. Experimental and clinical studies have highlighted the role of BBB disruption in ICH-induced brain injury. Critical Issues: In this review, we focus on the strategies to protect the BBB in ICH. Specifically, we summarize the evidence and the underlying mechanisms, including the ICH-induced process of oxidative stress and inflammatory response, and we highlight the potential therapeutic targets to protect BBB integrity after ICH. Future Directions: Future studies should probe the mechanism of ferroptosis as well as oxidative stress-inflammation coupling in BBB disruption after ICH and investigate the effects of antioxidants and immunomodulatory agents in more ICH clinical trials.

Despite the similarity in the underlying receptor-binding interaction, the two angiopoietins have opposite effects: Ang1 induces phosphorylation of AKT, strengthens cell-cell junctions, and enhances endothelial cell survival while Ang2 can antagonize these effects, depending on cellular context. To investigate the molecular basis for the opposing effects, we examined the phenotypes of a series of computationally designed protein scaffolds presenting the Ang1 F-domain in a wide range of valencies and geometries. We find two broad phenotypic classes distinguished by the number of presented F-domains: Scaffolds presenting 3 or 4 F-domains have Ang2-like activity, upregulating pFAK and pERK but not pAKT, while scaffolds presenting 6, 8, 12, 30, or 60 F-domains have Ang1-like activity, upregulating pAKT and inducing migration and vascular stability. The scaffolds with 6 or more F-domains display super-agonist activity, producing stronger phenotypes at lower concentrations than Ang1. Tie2 super-agonist nanoparticles reduced blood extravasation and improved blood-brain barrier integrity four days after a controlled cortical impact injury.

Abstract
Despite marked advances in surgical techniques and understanding of secondary brain injury mechanisms, the prognosis of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) remains devastating. Harnessing and promoting the regenerative potential of the central nervous system may improve the outcomes of patients with hemorrhagic stroke, but approaches are still in their infancy. In this review, we discuss the regenerative phenomena occurring in animal models and human ICH, provide results related to cellular and molecular mechanisms of the repair process including by microglia, and review potential methods to promote tissue regeneration in ICH. We aim to stimulate research involving tissue restoration after ICH.

A systematic review on Zhilong Huoxue Tongyu capsule in treating cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases: Pharmacological actions, molecular mechanisms and clinical outcomes. JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2021; 277:114234. [PMID: 34044079 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2021.114234] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/30/2020] [Revised: 04/29/2021] [Accepted: 05/20/2021] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases have become a severe threat for human health worldwide, however, optimal therapeutic options are still developed. Zhilong Huoxue Tongyu capsule (ZL capsule) is mainly composed of Astragalus membranaceus, Leech, Earthworm, Cinnamomum cassia and Sargentodoxa cuneata, having functions of replenishing qi and activating blood, dispelling wind and reducing phlegm. It is an expanded application on the basis of traditional uses of above TCMs, acquiring a satisfactory curative effect on cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases over twenty years. AIM OF THE STUDY To comprehensively summarize the main components of ZL capsule, understand the mechanisms of ZL capsule, and conclude clinical regimens of ZL capsule for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. MATERIALS AND METHODS We selected network pharmacology technology to analyze main active compounds and predict underlying mechanism of ZL capsule against atherosclerosis. Molecular docking was performed to simulate the interaction pattern between the active components of ZL capsule and putative targets. Further, PubMed, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure and Google Scholar were used to search literatures, with the key words of "Zhilong Huoxue Tongyu capsule", "cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases", "atherosclerosis", "clinical study" and their combinations, mainly from 2000 to 2020. RESULTS Both network pharmacology analysis, molecular docking and animal experiments studies confirmed that mechanisms of ZL capsule plays the role of anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptosis and promoting angiogenesis in treating cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases by multi-components acting on multi-targets via multi-pathways. Over 1000 clinical cases were benefited from the treatment of ZL capsule, suggesting a holistic concept of "the same therapy for different myocardial and cerebral diseases". CONCLUSIONS For the first time, this systematic review may supply meaningful information for further studies to explore material basis and pharmacodynamics of ZL capsule and also provide a basis for sharing the "Chinese patent medicine" for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

Thrombin-induced miRNA-24-1-5p upregulation promotes angiogenesis by targeting prolyl hydroxylase domain 1 in intracerebral hemorrhagic rats. J Neurosurg 2021; 134:1515-1526. [PMID: 32413855 DOI: 10.3171/2020.2.jns193069] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/11/2019] [Accepted: 02/24/2020] [Indexed: 11/06/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Thrombin is a unique factor that triggers post-intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) angiogenesis by increasing hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) at the protein level. However, HIF-1α mRNA remains unchanged. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) mediate posttranscriptional regulation by suppressing protein translation from mRNAs. This study aimed to determine if miRNAs might be involved in thrombin-induced angiogenesis after ICH by targeting HIF-1α or its upstream prolyl hydroxylase domains (PHDs). METHODS The study was divided into two parts. In part 1, rats received an injection of thrombin into the right globus pallidus. An miRNA array combined with miRNA target prediction, luciferase activity assay, and miRNA mimic/inhibitor transfection were used to identify candidate miRNAs and target genes. Part 2 included experiments 1 and 2. In experiment 1, rats were randomly divided into the sham group, ICH group, and ICH+hirudin-treated (thrombin inhibitor) group. In experiment 2, the rats were randomly divided into the sham group, ICH group, ICH+antagomir group, ICH+antagomir-control group, and ICH+vehicle group. Western blotting and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction were used to determine the expression of protein and miRNA, respectively. The coexpression of miR-24-1-5p (abbreviated to miR-24) and von Willebrand factor was detected by in situ hybridization and immunohistochemical analysis. The angiogenesis was evaluated by double-labeling immunofluorescence. Neurological function was evaluated by body weight, modified Neurological Severity Scores, and corner turn and foot-fault tests. RESULTS In part 1, it was shown that miR-24, which is predicted to target PHD1, was upregulated (fold-change of 1.83) after thrombin infusion, and that the miR-24 mimic transfection decreased luciferase activity and downregulated PHD1 expression (p < 0.05). miR-24 inhibitor transfection increased PHD1 expression (p < 0.05). In part 2, it was shown that miR-24 was expressed in endothelial cells. The HIF-1α protein level and proliferating cell nuclear antigen-positive (PCNA+) nuclei in vessels were increased, while the PHD1 protein level was decreased after ICH, and these effects were reversed by hirudin (p < 0.05). The antagomiR-24-treated rats exhibited a markedly lower body weight and significantly poorer recovery from neurological deficit compared with those in ICH groups (p < 0.05). AntagomiR-24 intervention also led to lower miR-24 expression, a higher PHD1 protein level, and fewer PCNA+ nuclei in vessels compared with those in ICH groups (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS The present study suggests that thrombin reduces HIF-1α degradation and initiates angiogenesis by increasing miR-24, which targets PHD1 after ICH.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is the top lethal and disabling form of stroke. The pathophysiology of ICH is not fully understood yet. Metabolites are indicators and regulators of cellular processes. However, the overall brain metabolic pattern and the temporal alterations after ICH remain unknown. METHODS A total of 40 male rats were randomly assigned to sham group and ICH group. ICH was induced by collagenase Ⅶ. Body weight was assessed. Neurological deficits were evaluated by modified neurological severity score. Then, the perihematomal brain tissues were collected for metabolites detection using high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS). The metabolic profiles were displayed by principal component analysis (PCA), partial least-squares-discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) and cluster analysis. The significant differential metabolites were screened by fold change > 2.0, the false discovery rate (FDR) < 0.05 and Variable Importance of Projection (VIP) > 1. Next, the relevant metabolic pathways were discerned by MetaboAnalyst website. A metabolite-protein interaction network was subsequentially constructed to further annotate the function of differential metabolites. RESULTS Rats suffered from compromised body weight increasement and impaired neurological function. The metabolomics profiles of brain tissues in the post-ICH rats were markedly different from those in the sham group on days 3 and 14. Thirty-four metabolites (bilirubin, uric acid, 6-Methylnicotinamide et al.) were abnormally upregulated in the acute stage, while 27 metabolites were disturbed in the recovery stage, including bilirubin, uric acid, and histamine et al. Seven and three metabolic pathways altered in the acute and recovery stage, respectively. Metabolite-protein interaction analysis revealed that the disturbed metabolites may participate in ICH pathophysiology by altering amino acid metabolism, peroxisome proliferators-activated receptor signaling pathway, fatty acid metabolism and urea cycle in the acute stage, while influencing amino acid metabolism, urea cycle and peroxisome in the recovery stage. CONCLUSIONS Our study mapped the pathological metabolomics profiles of the post-ICH rat brains in the acute and recovery phases. This work will assist in discovering novel therapeutic targets and treatments for ICH.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mural cells synthesize and deposit laminin to the basement membrane. To investigate the function of mural cell-derived laminin, we generated a mutant mouse line lacking mural cell-derived laminin (termed PKO). In a previous study, we showed that the PKO mice were grossly normal under homeostatic condition, but developed blood-brain barrier (BBB) breakdown with advanced age (> 8 months), suggesting that these mutants are intrinsically weak. Based on these findings, we hypothesized that PKO mice have exacerbated injuries in pathological conditions. METHODS Using collagenase-induced intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) as an injury model, we examined various stroke outcomes, including hematoma volume, neurological function, neuronal death, BBB integrity, paracellular/transcellular transport, inflammatory cell infiltration, and brain water content, in PKO mice and their wildtype littermates at young age (6-8 weeks). In addition, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis and an in vitro ICH model were used to investigate the underlying molecular mechanisms. RESULTS Compared to age-matched wildtype littermates, PKO mice display aggravated stroke outcomes, including larger hematoma size, worse neurological function, increased neuronal cell death, enhanced BBB permeability, increased transcytosis, and elevated inflammatory cell infiltration. These mutants also exhibit high baseline brain water content independent of aquaporin-4 (AQP4). In addition, mural cell-derived laminin significantly reduced caveolin-1 without affecting tight junction proteins in the in vitro ICH model. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that mural cell-derived laminin attenuates BBB damage in ICH via decreasing caveolin-1 and thus transcytosis, regulates brain water homeostasis, and plays a beneficial role in ICH.

Abstract
Background: Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a chronic lung disease in preterm infants, which is characterized by alveolar and vascular dysplasia and increased vascular permeability. Hyperoxia is a critical factor in the pathogenesis of BPD, hyperoxia-induced acute lung injury (HALI) model has similar pathological manifestations as human BPD, therefore, may provide insight into the pathogenesis of human BPD. Studies have shown that Twist1 regulates pulmonary vascular permeability of LPS-induced lung injury through the Ang-Tie2 pathway. However, the effect of Twist1 pathway on vascular permeability in HALI has not been reported. Methods: We randomly exposed newborn rats to the room air or hyperoxia for 14 days. Lung histopathology, immunofluorescence, vascular permeability, mRNA and protein expression was assessed on day 1,7,14. Results: Our results verified that hyperoxia caused alveolar and vascular developmental disorders and increased pulmonary vascular permeability, which was consistent with previous findings. In hyperoxia-exposed rat lungs, the expressions of Twist1, Ang1, Tie1, Tie2, and pTie2 were significantly reduced, whereas the expression of Ang2 was significantly increased. Next, we observed a significant down-regulation of the Akt/Foxo1 pathway. Conclusion: In HALI, the pulmonary microvascular permeability was increased, accompanied by changes in Twist1-Tie2 pathway which combined to Angs, and downregulation of Tie1 and Akt/Foxo1 pathway.
