Therapeutic Potential Effect of Glycogen Synthase Kinase 3 Beta (GSK-3β) Inhibitors in Parkinson Disease: Exploring an Overlooked Avenue. Mol Neurobiol 2024; 61:7092-7108. [PMID: 38367137 PMCID: PMC11338983 DOI: 10.1007/s12035-024-04003-z] [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: 09/24/2023] [Accepted: 01/20/2024] [Indexed: 02/19/2024]
Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease of the brain due to degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra (SN). Glycogen synthase kinase 3 beta (GSK-3β) is implicated in the pathogenesis of PD. Therefore, the purpose of the present review was to revise the mechanistic role of GSK-3β in PD neuropathology, and how GSK-3β inhibitors affect PD neuropathology. GSK-3 is a conserved threonine/serine kinase protein that is intricate in the regulation of cellular anabolic and catabolic pathways by modulating glycogen synthase. Over-expression of GSK-3β is also interconnected with the development of different neurodegenerative diseases. However, the underlying mechanism of GSK-3β in PD neuropathology is not fully clarified. Over-expression of GSK-3β induces the development of PD by triggering mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress in the dopaminergic neurons of the SN. NF-κB and NLRP3 inflammasome are activated in response to dysregulated GSK-3β in PD leading to progressive neuronal injury. Higher expression of GSK-3β in the early stages of PD neuropathology might contribute to the reduction of neuroprotective brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). Thus, GSK-3β inhibitors may be effective in PD by reducing inflammatory and oxidative stress disorders which are associated with degeneration of dopaminergic in the SN.

Apolipoprotein E Polymorphism Impacts White Matter Injury Through Microglial Phagocytosis After Experimental Subarachnoid Hemorrhage. Neuroscience 2023; 524:220-232. [PMID: 37290684 DOI: 10.1016/j.neuroscience.2023.05.020] [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: 01/26/2023] [Revised: 05/19/2023] [Accepted: 05/23/2023] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
Apolipoprotein E (apoE, protein; APOE, gene), divided into three alleles of E2, E3 and E4 in humans, is associated with the progression of white matter lesion load. However, mechanism evidence has not been reported regarding the APOE genotype in early white matter injury (WMI) under subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) conditions. In the present study, we investigated the effects of APOE gene polymorphisms, by constructing microglial APOE3 and APOE4-specific overexpression, on WMI and underlying mechanisms of microglia phagocytosis in a mice model of SAH. A total of 167 male C57BL/6J mice (weight 22-26 g) were used. SAH and bleeding environment were induced by endovascular perforation in vivo and oxyHb in vitro, respectively. Multi-technology approaches, including immunohistochemistry, high throughput sequencing, gene editing for adeno-associated viruses, and several molecular biotechnologies were used to validate the effects of APOE polymorphisms on microglial phagocytosis and WMI after SAH. Our results revealed that APOE4 significantly aggravated the WMI and decreased neurobehavioral function by impairing microglial phagocytosis after SAH. Indicators negatively associated with microglial phagocytosis increased like CD16, CD86 and the ratio of CD16/CD206, while the indicators positively associated with microglial phagocytosis decreased like Arg-1 and CD206. The increased ROS and aggravating mitochondrial damage demonstrated that the damaging effects of APOE4 in SAH may be associated with microglial oxidative stress-dependent mitochondrial damage. Inhibiting mitochondrial oxidative stress by Mitoquinone (mitoQ) can enhance the phagocytic function of microglia. In conclusion, anti-oxidative stress and phagocytosis protection may serve as promising treatments in the management of SAH.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This review aims to provide an overview of neuroinflammation in ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke, including recent findings on the mechanisms and cellular players involved in the inflammatory response to brain injury. RECENT FINDINGS Neuroinflammation is a crucial process following acute ischemic stroke (AIS) and hemorrhagic stroke (HS). In AIS, neuroinflammation is initiated within minutes of the ischemia onset and continues for several days. In HS, neuroinflammation is initiated by blood byproducts in the subarachnoid space and/or brain parenchyma. In both cases, neuroinflammation is characterized by the activation of resident immune cells, such as microglia and astrocytes, and infiltration of peripheral immune cells, leading to the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, chemokines, and reactive oxygen species. These inflammatory mediators contribute to blood-brain barrier disruption, neuronal damage, and cerebral edema, promoting neuronal apoptosis and impairing neuroplasticity, ultimately exacerbating the neurologic deficit. However, neuroinflammation can also have beneficial effects by clearing cellular debris and promoting tissue repair. The role of neuroinflammation in AIS and ICH is complex and multifaceted, and further research is necessary to develop effective therapies that target this process. Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) will be the HS subtype addressed in this review. Neuroinflammation is a significant contributor to brain tissue damage following AIS and HS. Understanding the mechanisms and cellular players involved in neuroinflammation is essential for developing effective therapies to reduce secondary injury and improve stroke outcomes. Recent findings have provided new insights into the pathophysiology of neuroinflammation, highlighting the potential for targeting specific cytokines, chemokines, and glial cells as therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
One main factor contributing to the cognitive loss in vascular dementia (VD) is white matter lesions (WMLs) carried on by chronic cerebral hypoperfusion (CCH). A secondary neuroinflammatory response to CCH accelerates the loss and limits the regeneration of oligodendrocytes, leading to progressive demyelination and insufficient remyelination in the white matter. Thus, promoting remyelination and inhibiting neuroinflammation may be an ideal therapeutic strategy. Baicalin (BAI) is known to exhibit protective effects against various inflammatory and demyelinating diseases. However, whether BAI has neuroprotective effects against CCH has not been investigated. To determine whether BAI inhibits CCH-induced demyelination and neuroinflammation, we established a model of CCH in rats by occluding the two common carotid arteries bilaterally. Our results revealed that BAI could remarkably ameliorate cognitive impairment and mitigate CA1 pyramidal neuron damage and myelin loss. BAI exhibited enhancement of remyelination by increasing the expression of myelin basic protein (MBP) and oligodendrocyte transcription factor 2 (Olig2), inhibiting the loss of oligodendrocytes and promoting oligodendrocyte regeneration in the corpus callosum of CCH rats. Furthermore, BAI modified microglia polarization to the anti-inflammatory phenotype and inhibited the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Mechanistically, BAI treatment significantly induced phosphorylation of glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK3β), enhanced the expression of β-catenin and its nuclear translocation. Simultaneously, BAI reduced the expression of nuclear NF-κB. Collectively, our results suggest that BAI ameliorates cognitive impairment in CCH-induced VD rats through its pro-remyelination and anti-inflammatory capacities, possibly by activating the Wnt/β-catenin and suppressing the NF-κB signaling.

Abstract
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a common cerebrovascular disorder with high morbidity and mortality. Secondary brain injury after ICH, which is initiated by multiple hemolytic products during erythrolysis, has been identified as a critical factor accounting for the poor prognosis of ICH patients. Clot resolution and hematoma clearance occur immediately after ICH via erythrolysis and erythrophagocytosis. During this process, erythrolysis after ICH results in the release of hemoglobin and products of degradation along with rapid morphological changes in red blood cells (RBCs). Phagocytosis of deformed erythrocytes and products of degradation by microglia/macrophages accelerates hematoma clearance, which turns out to be neuroprotective. Thus, a better understanding of the mechanism of erythrolysis and the role of microglia/macrophages after ICH is urgently needed. In this review, the current research progresses on the underlying mechanism of erythrolysis and erythrophagocytosis, as well as several useful tools for the quantification of erythrolysis-induced brain injury, are summarized, providing potential intervention targets and possible treatment strategies for ICH patients.

Abstract
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a neurological disease with high mortality and disability. Recent studies showed that white matter injury (WMI) plays an important role in motor dysfunction after ICH. WMI includes WMI proximal to the lesion and WMI distal to the lesion, such as corticospinal tract injury located at the cervical enlargement of the spinal cord after ICH. Previous studies have tended to focus only on gray matter (GM) injury after ICH, and fewer studies have paid attention to WMI, which may be one of the reasons for the poor outcome of previous drug treatments. Microglia and astrocyte-mediated neuroinflammation are significant mechanisms responsible for secondary WMI following ICH. The NOD-like receptor family, pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome activation, has been shown to exacerbate neuroinflammation and brain injury after ICH. Moreover, NLRP3 inflammasome is activated in microglia and astrocytes and exerts a vital role in microglia and astrocytes-mediated neuroinflammation. We speculate that NLRP3 inflammasome activation is closely related to the polarization of microglia and astrocytes and that NLRP3 inflammasome activation may exacerbate WMI by polarizing microglia and astrocytes to the pro-inflammatory phenotype after ICH, while NLRP3 inflammasome inhibition may attenuate WMI by polarizing microglia and astrocytes to the anti-inflammatory phenotype following ICH. Therefore, NLRP3 inflammasome may act as leveraged regulatory fulcrums for microglia and astrocytes polarization to modulate WMI and WM repair after ICH. This review summarized the possible mechanisms by which neuroinflammation mediated by NLRP3 inflammasome exacerbates secondary WMI after ICH and discussed the potential therapeutic targets.

Abstract
Purpose The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects and mechanism of microRNA (miR)-92a-3p in retinal angiogenesis in vitro and in vivo. Methods The expression of miR-92a-3p was verified by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). Agomir-92a-3p was intravitreally injected into the right eye on postnatal day 3 (P3), P5, and P8 in the mice, with the agomir-NC injected left eye as the control. At P7, P9, and P12, immunofluorescence was performed to examine the retinal superficial vascular plexus, deep vascular plexus, proliferation, and apoptosis in retinal vascular endothelial cells (ECs). Human retinal microvascular endothelial cells (HRMECs) were treated with mimic-NC and mimic-92a-3p, then the tube formation, cell migration, and wound healing assays were used to detect the effect of miR-92a-3p on retinal angiogenesis in vitro. Agomir-92a-3p was also intravitreally injected into the right eye of oxygen-induced retinopathy (OIR) mice at P12, with the agomir-NC injected left eye as the control, the neovascularization was observed by retinal flatmount staining with isolectin B4 at P17. Bioinformatics and high-throughput sequencing were performed to identify potential target genes of miR-92a-3p. RT-qPCR and Western blot were carried out to detect the expression of SGK3, p-GSK3β, GSK3β, Bcl-xL, and cleaved caspase-3 in the HRMECs and mouse retinas. Results The overexpression of miR-92a-3p inhibited the development of retinal superficial vascular plexus and deep vascular plexus, decreased the expression of Ki67, and increased the expression of cleaved caspase-3 in isolectin B4-labeled retinal vascular ECs. In vitro, the overexpression of miR-92a-3p markedly suppressed the tube formation, cell migration, and wound healing of cultured ECs. Overexpression of miR-92a-3p inhibited both in vivo and in vitro physiological angiogenesis by downregulating the expression of SGK3, p-GSK3β/GSK3β, and Bcl-xL. In addition, agomir-92a-3p inhibited the pathological retinal neovascularization of OIR mice, by targeting SGK3, p-GSK3β/GSK3β, and Bcl-xL. Conclusions The miR-92a-3p could affect retinal angiogenesis by targeting SGK3 pathway, suggesting that miR-92a-3p may be a potential anti-angiogenic factor for retinal vascular disease.

Abstract
Microglia are the resident immune cells of the central nervous system (CNS) and play a key role in neurological diseases, including intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Microglia are activated to acquire either pro-inflammatory or anti-inflammatory phenotypes. After the onset of ICH, pro-inflammatory mediators produced by microglia at the early stages serve as a crucial character in neuroinflammation. Conversely, switching the microglial shift to an anti-inflammatory phenotype could alleviate inflammatory response and incite recovery. This review will elucidate the dynamic profiles of microglia phenotypes and their available shift following ICH. This study can facilitate an understanding of the self-regulatory functions of the immune system involving the shift of microglia phenotypes in ICH. Moreover, suggestions for future preclinical and clinical research and potential intervention strategies are discussed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lithium has neuroprotective effects in animal models of stroke, but benefits in humans remain uncertain. This article aims to systematically review the available evidence of the neuroprotective and regenerative effects of lithium in animal models of stroke, as well as in observational and trial stroke studies in humans. METHODS This systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. We searched Medline, Embase, and PsycINFO for preclinical and clinical studies published between January 2000 and September 2021. A random-effects meta-analysis was conducted from observational studies. RESULTS From 1625 retrieved studies, 42 were included in the systematic review. Of those, we identified 36 rodent models of stroke using preinsult or postinsult treatment with lithium, and 6 studies were conducted in human samples, of which 4 could be meta-analyzed. The review of animal models was stratified according to the type of stroke and outcomes. Human data were subdivided into observational and intervention studies. Treatment of rodents with lithium was associated with smaller stroke volumes, decreased apoptosis, and improved poststroke function. In humans, exposure to lithium was associated with a lower risk of stroke among adults with bipolar disorder in 2 of 4 studies. Two small trials showed equivocal clinical benefits of lithium poststroke. CONCLUSIONS Animal models of stroke show consistent biological and functional evidence of benefits associated with lithium treatment, whereas human evidence remains sparse and inconclusive. The potential role of lithium in poststroke recovery is yet to be adequately tested in humans.

Lithium attenuates blood-brain barrier damage and brain edema following intracerebral hemorrhage via an endothelial Wnt/β-catenin signaling-dependent mechanism in mice.

[PMID: 35343071 PMCID: PMC9062576 DOI: 10.1111/cns.13832] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/28/2021] [Revised: 12/18/2021] [Accepted: 12/22/2021] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Vasogenic cerebral edema resulting from blood–brain barrier (BBB) damage aggravates the devastating consequences of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Although augmentation of endothelial Wnt/β‐catenin signaling substantially alleviates BBB breakdown in animals, no agents based on this mechanism are clinically available. Lithium is a medication used to treat bipolar mood disorders and can upregulate Wnt/β‐catenin signaling. Methods We evaluated the protective effect of lithium on the BBB in a mouse model of collagenase IV‐induced ICH. Furthermore, we assessed the effect and dependency of lithium on Wnt/β‐catenin signaling in mice with endothelial deletion of the Wnt7 coactivator Gpr124. Results Lithium treatment (3 mmol/kg) significantly decreased the hematoma volume (11.15 ± 3.89 mm3 vs. 19.97 ± 3.20 mm3 in vehicle controls, p = 0.0016) and improved the neurological outcomes of mice following ICH. Importantly, lithium significantly increased the BBB integrity, as evidenced by reductions in the levels of brain edema (p = 0.0312), Evans blue leakage (p = 0.0261), and blood IgG extravasation (p = 0.0009) into brain tissue around the hematoma. Mechanistically, lithium upregulated the activity of endothelial Wnt/β‐catenin signaling in mice and increased the levels of tight junction proteins (occludin, claudin‐5 and ZO‐1). Furthermore, the protective effect of lithium on cerebral damage and BBB integrity was abolished in endothelial Gpr124 knockout mice, suggesting that its protective effect on BBB function was mainly dependent on Gpr124‐mediated endothelial Wnt/β‐catenin signaling. Conclusion Our findings indicate that lithium may serve as a therapeutic candidate for treating BBB breakdown and brain edema following ICH.

Abstract
The clinical “gold standard” technique for attempting to restore function to nerves with a gap is to bridge the gap with sensory autografts. However, autografts induce good to excellent recovery only across short nerve gaps, in young patients, and when repairs are performed a short time post nerve trauma. Even under the best of conditions, < 50% of patients recover good recovery. Although many alternative techniques have been tested, none is as effective as autografts. Therefore, alternative techniques are required that increase the percentage of patients who recover function and the extent of their recovery. This paper examines the actions of lithium, and how it appears to trigger all the cellular and molecular events required to promote axon regeneration, and how both in animal models and clinically, lithium administration enhances both the extent of axon regeneration and neurological recovery. The paper proposes more extensive clinical testing of lithium for its ability and reliability to increase the extent of axon regeneration and functional recovery.

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.

Abstract
Microglia are the resident immune cells of the central nervous system (CNS). It is well established that microglia are activated and polarized to acquire different inflammatory phenotypes, either pro-inflammatory or anti-inflammatory phenotypes, which act as a critical component in the neuroinflammation following intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Microglia produce pro-inflammatory mediators at the early stages after ICH onset, anti-inflammatory microglia with neuroprotective effects appear to be suppressed. Previous research found that driving microglia towards an anti-inflammatory phenotype could restrict inflammation and engulf cellular debris. The principal objective of this review is to analyze the phenotypes and dynamic profiles of microglia as well as their shift in functional response following ICH. The results may further the understanding of the body's self-regulatory functions involving microglia following ICH. On this basis, suggestions for future clinical development and research are provided.

Abstract
Stroke is a major cause of death and disability worldwide. Yet therapeutic strategies available to treat stroke are very limited. There is an urgent need to develop novel therapeutics that can effectively facilitate functional recovery. The injury that results from stroke is known to induce neurogenesis in penumbra of the infarct region. There is considerable interest in harnessing this response for therapeutic purposes. This review summarizes what is currently known about stroke-induced neurogenesis and the factors that have been identified to regulate it. Additionally, some key studies in this field have been highlighted and their implications on future of stroke therapy have been discussed. There is a complex interplay between neuroinflammation and neurogenesis that dictates stroke outcome and possibly recovery. This highlights the need for a better understanding of the neuroinflammatory process and how it affects neurogenesis, as well as the need to identify new mechanisms and potential modulators. Neuroinflammatory processes and their impact on post-stroke repair have therefore also been discussed.

Abstract
Intracerebral hemorrhage is a devastating global health burden with limited treatment options and is responsible for 49% of 6.5 million annual stroke-related deaths comparable to ischemic stroke. Despite the impact of intracerebral hemorrhage, there are currently no effective treatments and so weaknesses in the translational pipeline must be addressed. There have been many preclinical studies in intracerebral hemorrhage models with positive outcomes for potential therapies in vivo, but beyond advancing the understanding of intracerebral hemorrhage pathology, there has been no translation toward successful clinical application. Multidisciplinary preclinical research, use of multiple models, and validation in human tissue are essential for effective translation. Repurposing of therapeutics for intracerebral hemorrhage may be the most promising strategy to help relieve the global health burden of intracerebral hemorrhage. Here, we have reviewed the existing literature to highlight repurposable drugs with successful outcomes in preclinical models of intracerebral hemorrhage that have realistic potential for development into the clinic for intracerebral hemorrhage.

Abstract
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a fatal cerebrovascular disease with high morbidity and mortality, for which no effective therapies are currently available. Brain tissue damage caused by ICH is mediated by a newly identified form of non-apoptotic programmed cell death, called ferroptosis. Ferroptosis is characterized by the iron-induced accumulation of lipid reactive oxygen species (ROS), leading to intracellular oxidative stress. Lipid ROS cause damage to nucleic acids, proteins, and cell membranes, eventually resulting in ferroptosis. Numerous biological processes are involved in ferroptosis, including iron metabolism, lipid peroxidation, and glutathione biosynthesis; therefore, iron chelators, lipophilic antioxidants, and other specific inhibitors can suppress ferroptosis, suggesting that these modulators are beneficial for treating brain injury due to ICH. Accumulating evidence indicates that ferroptosis differs from other types of programmed cell death, such as necroptosis, apoptosis, oxytosis, and pyroptosis, in terms of ultrastructural characteristics, signaling pathways, and outcomes. Although several studies have emphasized the importance of ferroptosis due to ICH, the detailed mechanism underlying ferroptosis remains unclear. This review summarizes the available evidence on the mechanism underlying ferroptosis and its relationship with other types of cell death, with the aim to identify therapeutic targets and potential interventions for ICH.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the effect of mild hypothermia on inflammatory response and angiogenesis in brain tissues of rats with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and its possible mechanism for improving behavioral deficits of the rats After ICH. METHODS A total of 120 healthy male SD rats were randomly divided into sham operation group, ICH group and mild hypothermia group. Rat models of ICH were established in the latter two groups by stereotactic injection of autogenous blood in the brain, and the rats in the sham operation group received injection of normal saline in the same manner. At 15 min after modeling, the rats in hypothermia group were subjected to mild hypothermia (30-32 ℃) for 8 h followed by rewarming (37-38 ℃); the body temperature was maintained at 37-38 ℃ in the other two groups. At 2, 4, 7, 14 and 21 days after the treatment, Longa scoring, balance beam scoring and Berderson scoring were used to evaluate the behavioral deficits of the rats. Immunohistochemical staining was used to detect the protein expressions of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) in the brain tissue of the rats, and the mRNA expressions of α subunit of hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF1-α) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) were detected using RT- PCR. RESULTS At 2, 4, 7, 14 and 21 days after the treatment, the behavioral scores of the rats were significantly higher in ICH group and mild induced hypothermia group than in the sham operation group (P < 0.05 or 0.01). The protein expressions of TNF-α and NF-κB and mRNA expressions of HIF1-α and VEGF were significantly higher in ICH group and mild hypothermia group than in the sham operation group (P < 0.01). The behavioral scores were significantly lower in mild hypothermia group than in ICH group (P < 0.05), and the protein expressions of TNF-α and NF-κB were lower and the mRNA expressions of HIF1- α and VEGF were higher in mild hypothermia group than in ICH group (P < 0.05 or 0.01). CONCLUSIONS Mild hypothermia can improve behavioral deficits in rats with ICH possibly by antagonizing brain inflammation and promoting angiogenesis.

Abstract
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), a subtype of stroke with high morbidity and mortality, occurs mainly in the basal ganglia and causes white matter injury (WMI), resulting in severe motor dysfunction and poor prognosis in patients. The preservation of the white matter around the hematoma is crucial for motor function recovery, but there is currently no effective treatment for WMI following ICH. Lithium has been widely used for the treatment of bipolar disorder for decades. Although the protective effects of lithium on neurodegenerative diseases and cerebral trauma have been studied in recent years, whether it can be used to alleviate WMI after ICH remains to be researched. The results of this study revealed that ICH caused significant functional and pathological abnormalities in mice. After LiCl was administered to mice with ICH, behavioural performance and electrophysiological functions were improved and ICH-induced white matter pathological injury, including myelin sheath and axonal degeneration, was ameliorated. Furthermore, LiCl treatment decreased the death of mature oligodendrocytes (OLGs) in ICH mice, which may have been attributed to the enhanced expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) regulated by the LiCl-induced inhibition of glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β). The decreased death of OLGs was closely associated with decreased destruction of the myelin sheath and alleviated degradation of the axons. In summary, this study suggests that the protective effect of lithium on WMI after ICH might be related to an increased level of BDNF and that LiCl treatment may be a potential therapeutic method to palliate WMI after ICH.
