[PMID: 38595184 DOI: 10.1097/scs.0000000000010105] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/06/2023] [Accepted: 01/24/2024] [Indexed: 04/11/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of neuroendoscopy for treating hypertensive putamen hemorrhage (HPH), compared with traditional craniotomy. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 81 consecutive patients with HPH treated with neuroendoscopy (n=36) or craniotomy (n=45) in the Department of Neurosurgery at the Anhui Provincial Hospital Affiliated to Anhui Medical University between January 2015 and December 2017. We compared the clinical and radiographic outcomes, excluded 14 patients who did not meet the inclusion criteria. Patient characteristics in emergency room were recorded. In addition, hospitalization days, total cost during hospitalization, operative time, blood loss, evacuation rate, rebreeding, intracranial infection, pulmonary infection, epilepsy, hemorrhage of digestive tract, venous thrombus, hypoproteinemia, aphasia, oculomotor paralysis, mortality, Modified Rankin Scale score 6 months after surgery, and Glasgow Outcome Scale score 6 months after surgery were compared between the 2 groups. RESULTS Comparative analysis of preoperative patient data revealed no notable disparities. Neuroendoscopic surgery afford distinct benefits including reduced operative time, minimal patient blood loss, and enhanced efficacy in hematoma evacuation. However, the incidence of postoperative complications such as rebleeding, intracranial infections, pulmonary infections, postoperative epilepsy, hemorrhage of digestive tract, venous thrombus, hypoproteinemia, aphasia, and oculomotor paralysis did not significantly differ. In contrast, endoscopic techniques, relative to conventional craniotomy for hematoma evacuation, are characterized by less invasive incisions, a marked decrease in the duration of hospitalization, and a substantial reduction in associated healthcare costs. Furthermore, endoscopic techniques contribute to superior long-term recuperative outcomes in patients, without altering mortality rates. CONCLUSIONS In comparison to the conventional method of craniotomy, the utilization of neuroendoscopy in the treatment of hypertensive putamen hemorrhage (HPH) may offer a more efficacious, minimally invasive, and cost-effective approach. This alternative approach has the potential to decrease the length of hospital stays and improve long-term neurologic outcomes, without altering mortality rates.

Gong F, Wei Y. LncRNA PVT1 promotes neuroinflammation after intracerebral hemorrhage by regulating the miR-128-3p/TXNIP axis. Int J Neurosci 2024:1-15. [PMID: 38294729 DOI: 10.1080/00207454.2024.2312998] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/20/2023] [Accepted: 01/27/2024] [Indexed: 02/01/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) has significant morbidity and mortality. TXNIP and the competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) regulatory mechanism involved in long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) play roles in ICH. We probed the upstream microRNAs (miRNAs)/lncRNAs that regulated TXNIP expression in the ceRNA mechanism. METHODS ICH mouse model was established, and ICH secondary injury was simulated in BV2 microglia by hemin treatment. TXNIP was silenced 48 h before ICH modeling. The ICH mouse brain water content (BWC) and brain lesion volume after ICH were recorded. Neuronal apoptosis and neurological deficits were evaluated by double staining of NeuN and TUNEL/modified Garcia/corner turn/forelimb placement tests. Iba1 + microglia number and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)/interleukin-1β (IL-1β)/IL-10/TXNIP/PVT1/miR-128-3p levels were assessed by immunohistochemistry, Western blot, ELISA, and RT-qPCR. Cell viability/death of BV2 cells conditioned medium-treated neuron HT22 cells were assessed by CCK-8/LDH assays. miRNA that had a targeted binding relationship with TXNIP was screened. The targeted bindings of miR-128-3p to TXNIP/PVT1 to miR-128-3p were verified by dual-luciferase reporter gene assay. RESULTS TXNIP knockdown reduced post-ICH microglial activation/release of pro-inflammatory factors/brain edema/brain lesion volume/neurological deficits in mice and increased releases of anti-inflammatory factors. TXNIP/PVT1 knockdown inhibited hemin-induced inflammatory responses in BV2 cells and protected in vitro co-cultured HT22 cells. PVT1 was a sponge of miR-128-3p to repress TXNIP expression. miR-128-3p knockdown diminished PVT1 knockdown-inhibited hemin-induced BV2 cell inflammatory responses/neurotoxicity. CONCLUSIONS PVT1 silencing reduced hemin-induced neuroinflammation and had a protective effect on neurons by increasing the targeted inhibition of TXNIP by miR-128-3p.

Abstract
Oxidative stress (OS) is the main cause of secondary damage following intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). The polarity expression of aquaporin-4 (AQP4) has been shown to be important in maintaining the homeostasis of water transport and preventing post-injury brain edema in various neurological disorders. This study primarily aimed to investigate the effect of the oxygen free radical scavenger, edaravone, on AQP4 polarity expression in an ICH mouse model and determine whether it involves in AQP4 polarity expression via the OS/MMP9/β-dystroglycan (β-DG) pathway. The ICH mouse model was established by autologous blood injection into the basal nucleus. Edaravone or the specific inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9), MMP9-IN-1, called MMP9-inh was administered 10 min after ICH via intraperitoneal injection. ELISA detection, neurobehavioral tests, dihydroethidium staining (DHE staining), intracisternal tracer infusion, hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining, immunofluorescence staining, western blotting, Evans blue (EB) permeability assay, and brain water content test were performed. The results showed that OS was exacerbated, AQP4 polarity was lost, drainage function of brain fluids was damaged, brain injury was aggravated, expression of AQP4, MMP9, and GFAP increased, while the expression of β-DG decreased after ICH. Edaravone reduced OS, restored brain drainage function, reduced brain injury, and downregulated the expression of AQP4, MMP9. Both edaravone and MMP9-inh alleviated brain edema, maintained blood-brain barrier (BBB) integrity, mitigated the loss of AQP4 polarity, downregulated GFAP expression, and upregulated β-DG expression. The current study suggests that edaravone can maintain AQP4 polarity expression by inhibiting the OS /MMP9/β-DG pathway after ICH.

Zhou J, Jiang T, Wang J, Wu W, Duan X, Jiang H, Jiao Z, Wang X. Multimodal investigation reveals the neuroprotective mechanism of Angong Niuhuang pill for intracerebral hemorrhage: Converging bioinformatics, network pharmacology, and experimental validation. JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2024; 319:117045. [PMID: 37633621 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2023.117045] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/22/2023] [Revised: 08/07/2023] [Accepted: 08/12/2023] [Indexed: 08/28/2023]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Angong Niuhuang Pill (ANP) is a traditional Chinese medicine formula that has been used clinically for many years in the treatment of cerebral hemorrhage. It is composed of ingredients such as calculus bovis, moschus, and others. Ancient texts have documented that ANP's multiple components possess properties such as heat-clearing, detoxification, and sedation, which can be effective in treating conditions such as coma and stroke. However, the underlying mechanisms of ANP's potential actions are still under investigation. AIM OF THE STUDY ANP is a Chinese medicine widely utilized for the treatment of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). However, the precise mechanism underlying the therapeutic effects remains largely elusive. The present study aims to unravel the effects and pharmacological molecular mechanisms of ANP in combatting ICH, employing a comprehensive network pharmacology approach and experimental validation. MATERIALS AND METHODS The molecular targets of ANP and ICH were obtained from various databases, followed by the construction of protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks using the STRING database. Further, gene ontology (GO) enrichment and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes (KEGG) analyses were conducted using the Metascape database and Cytoscape, respectively. Finally, molecular docking was performed. We performed a series of behavioral tests, immunohistochemical staining, TUNEL staining, and Western Blot to verify the effects of ANP. RESULTS IL-6, JUN, MMP9, IL-1β, VEGFA were the main candidate targets and were associated with fluid shear stress and atherosclerosis, TNF signaling pathway, etc. It is suggested that the potential mechanism of ANP against ICH may be mainly related to pyroptosis, inflammation. In vivo validation showed that ANP treatment significantly reduced the number of TUNEL-positive cells and ANP inhibited the activation of Iba-1 positive neurons, and suppressed the expression of inflammatory factors and pyroptosis indicators. In addition, ANP improved the cognitive level and motor ability of ICH mice. CONCLUSION The results of the study combined with virtual screening and experimental validation showed that ANP has an important contribution in protecting the brain from neuronal damage by regulating the pathways of inflammation and pyroptosis, laying the foundation and innovative ideas for future studies.

Abstract
Background Spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a subtype of stroke leading to high rates of morbidity and mortality in adults. Recent studies showed that immune and inflammatory responses might play essential roles in secondary brain injury. The purpose of this article was to provide a reference for further therapeutic strategies for ICH patients. Methods GSE206971 and GSE216607 datasets from the gene expression omnibus (GEO) database were used to screen the highly immune-related differentally expressed genes (IRDEGs). We used the CIBERSORT algorithm to assess the level of immune signatures infiltration and got the possible function of IRDEGs which was analyzed through Gene Ontology (GO) analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis. Protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks and six hub genes were identified in the Cytoscape plug-in. GSVA algorithm was performed to evaluate the potential pathways of six hub genes in ICH samples. The expression level of IL-7R chosen from six hub genes was further validated by Western blotting. The cell models of ICH were established for the research of IL-7/IL-7R signaling way. Results A total of six hub genes (ITGAX, ITGAM, CCR2, CD28, SELL, and IL-7R) were identified. IL-7R was highly expressed in the mice ICH group, as shown by immunoblotting. Next, we constructed ICH cell models in RAW264.7 cells and BV2 cells. After treatment with IL-7, iNOS expression (M1 marker) was greatly inhibited while Arg-1(M2 marker) was enhanced, and it might function via the JAK3/STAT5 signaling pathway. Conclusion The hypothesis is proposed that the IL-7/IL-7R signaling pathway might regulate the inflammatory process following ICH by regulating microglia polarization. Our study is limited and requires more in-depth experimental confirmation.

Abstract
Rhythmicity of the circadian system is a 24-hour period, driven by transcription-translation feedback loops of circadian clock genes. The central circadian pacemaker in mammals is located in the hypothalamic suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), which controls peripheral circadian clocks. In general, most physiological processes are regulated by the circadian system, which is modulated by environmental cues such as exposure to light and/or dark, temperature, and the timing of sleep/wake and food intake. The chronic circadian disruption caused by shift work, jetlag, and/or irregular sleep-wake cycles has long-term health consequences. Its dysregulation contributes to the risk of psychiatric disorders, sleep abnormalities, hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism, cancer, and obesity. A number of neurological conditions may be worsened by changes in the circadian clock via the SCN pacemaker. For stroke, different physiological activities such as sleep/wake cycles are disrupted due to alterations in circadian rhythms. Moreover, the immunological processes that affect the evolution and recovery processes of stroke are regulated by the circadian clock or core-clock genes. Thus, disrupted circadian rhythms may increase the severity and consequences of stroke, while readjustment of circadian clock machinery may accelerate recovery from stroke. In this manuscript, we discuss the relationship between stroke and circadian rhythms, particularly on stroke development and its recovery process. We focus on immunological and/or molecular processes linking stroke and the circadian system and suggest the circadian rhythm as a target for designing effective therapeutic strategies in stroke.

Abstract
Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been progressively recognized as critical regulators in the pathology and pathophysiology of central nervous system disease. However, the potential role of circRNAs in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is still largely unclear. Here, we demonstrate that circTrim37 expression was significantly upregulated at 3 days after ICH by circular RNA microarray and qPCR assays. Overexpression of circTrim37 could significantly ameliorate brain injury volume, brain edema, neurologic deficits, and inflammation in vivo after ICH. CircTrim37 promotes M2 polarization while restrains M1 polarization in vitro. Furthermore, circTrim37 acts as an endogenous sponge for miR-30c-5p, thereby inhibiting miR-30c-5p activity, leading to the upregulation of SOCS3 and making the balance of microglial response towards an M2 phenotype. Taken together, our results indicate the participation of circTrim37 and its coupling mechanism in ICH and provide a novel therapeutic target for ICH.

Abstract
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a subtype of stroke with a high mortality rate. Oxidative stress cascades play an important role in brain injury after ICH. Cannabidiol, a major non-psychotropic phytocannabinoids, has drawn increasing interest in recent years as a potential therapeutic intervention for various neuropsychiatric disorders. Here we provide a comprehensive review of the potential therapeutic effects of cannabidiol in countering oxidative stress resulting from ICH. The review elaborates on the various sources of oxidative stress post-ICH, including mitochondrial dysfunction, excitotoxicity, iron toxicity, inflammation, and also highlights cannabidiol's ability to inhibit ROS/RNS generation from these sources. The article also delves into cannabidiol's role in promoting ROS/RNS scavenging through the Nrf2/ARE pathway, detailing both extranuclear and intranuclear regulatory mechanisms. Overall, the review underscores cannabidiol's promising antioxidant effects in the context of ICH and suggests its potential as a therapeutic option.

Perihematomal edema-based CT-radiomics model to predict functional outcome in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage. Diagn Interv Imaging 2023; 104:391-400. [PMID: 37179244 DOI: 10.1016/j.diii.2023.04.008] [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: 02/03/2023] [Revised: 04/18/2023] [Accepted: 04/24/2023] [Indexed: 05/15/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to identify possible association between noncontrast computed tomography (NCCT)-based radiomics features of perihematomal edema (PHE) and poor functional outcome at 90 days after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and to develop a NCCT-based radiomics-clinical nomogram to predict 90-day functional outcomes in patients with ICH. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this multicenter retrospective study, 107 radiomics features were extracted from 1098 NCCT examinations obtained in 1098 patients with ICH. There were 652 men and 446 women with a mean age of 60 ± 12 (SD) years (range: 23-95 years). After harmonized and univariable and multivariable screening, seven of these radiomics features were closely associated with the 90-day functional outcome of patients with ICH. The radiomics score (Rad-score) was calculated based on the seven radiomics features. A clinical-radiomics nomogram was developed and validated in three cohorts. The model performance was evaluated using area under the curve analysis and decision and calibration curves. RESULTS Of the 1098 patients with ICH, 395 had a good outcome at 90 days. Hematoma hypodensity sign and intraventricular and subarachnoid hemorrhages were identified as risk factors for poor outcomes (P < 0.001). Age, Glasgow coma scale score, and Rad-score were independently associated with outcome. The clinical-radiomics nomogram showed good predictive performance with AUCs of 0.882 (95% CI: 0.859-0.905), 0.834 (95% CI: 0.776-0.891) and 0.905 (95% CI: 0.839-0.970) in the three cohorts and clinical applicability. CONCLUSION NCCT-based radiomics features from PHE are highly correlated with outcome. When combined with Rad-score, radiomics features from PHE can improve the predictive performance for 90-day poor outcome in patients with ICH.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a condition associated with high morbidity and mortality, and glia-mediated inflammation is a major contributor to neurological deficits. However, there is currently no proven effective treatment for clinical ICH. Recently, low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS), a non-invasive method, has shown potential for neuroprotection in neurodegenerative diseases. This study aimed to investigate the neuroprotective effects and potential mechanisms of LIPUS on glia-mediated inflammation in ICH. METHODS This study used 289 mice to investigate the effects of LIPUS on ICH. ICH was induced by injecting bacterial collagenase (type VII-S; 0.0375 U) into the striatum of the mice. LIPUS was applied noninvasively for 3 days, including a 2-h-delayed intervention to mimic clinical usage. The study evaluated neurological function, histology, brain water content, hemoglobin content, MRI, and protein expression of neurotrophic factors, inflammatory molecules, and apoptosis. In vitro studies investigated glia-mediated inflammation by adding thrombin (10 U/mL) or conditioned media to primary and cell line cultures. The PI3K inhibitor LY294002 was used to confirm the effects of PI3K/Akt signaling after LIPUS treatment. RESULTS LIPUS treatment improved neurological deficits and reduced tissue loss, edema, and neurodegeneration after ICH. The protective effects of LIPUS resulted from decreased glia-mediated inflammation by inhibiting PI3K/Akt-NF-κB signaling, which reduced cytokine expression and attenuated microglial activation-induced neuronal damage in vitro. CONCLUSIONS LIPUS treatment improved neurological outcomes and reduced glia-mediated inflammation by inhibiting PI3K/Akt-NF-κB signaling after ICH. LIPUS may provide a non-invasive potential management strategy for ICH.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Poor immune-nutritional status has been associated with an unfavorable outcome in critical illness. The Osaka prognostic score (OPS) and the Naples prognostic score (NPS), based on inflammatory and nutritional status, has been shown to predict prognosis following cancer and other diseases. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between the OPS and NPS and the short-term outcomes of patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). METHODS We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of patients hospitalized with spontaneous ICH (n = 340) at The Second Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University between August 2016 and August 2021. Inclusion criteria included patients aged between 18 and 70, and if a blood sample was taken for laboratory testing within 24 h of admission (serum C-reactive protein, albumin, total cholesterol, and counts for neutrophils, lymphocytes, and monocytes were collected on admission). Exclusion criteria included a non-spontaneous cause of ICH and patient death during hospitalization. Patients were divided into four groups based on OPS or five groups according to NPS. Outcomes were evaluated by the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) at six months post-ICH hospitalization. An unfavorable outcome was defined as a mRS score ≥ 3. RESULTS A total of 289 patients met our inclusion criteria. The unfavorable outcome group had older age, a lower Glasgow Coma Scale score, a higher rate of complications and cerebral herniation, a longer hospital stay, and higher OPS and NPS when compared with the favorable outcome group. Univariate analysis showed that both OPS and NPS were strongly correlated with mRS (r = 0.196,P < 0.001; r = 0.244, P = 0.001, respectively). Multivariate analysis further showed that OPS and NPS were both independent predictors of unfavorable outcomes for patients with ICH with adjusted odds ratios of 1.802 (95% confidence interval [CI]:1.140-2.847, P = 0.012) and 1.702 (95% CI: 1.225-2.635, P = 0.02), respectively. The area under the curve (AUC) of NPS for predicting a poor outcome was 0.732 (95% CI: 0.665-0.799), which was similar to the AUC of OPS 0.724 (95% CI: 0.657-0.792). CONCLUSIONS In this cohort, a higher OPS and NPS on admission was associated with poor outcome at six months following ICH, supporting their potential role as markers for predicting the outcome of patients with ICH.

Abstract
Stroke is a severe and life-threatening disease, necessitating more research on new treatment strategies. Infiltrated T lymphocytes, an essential adaptive immune cell with extensive effector function, are crucially involved in post-stroke inflammation. Immediately after the initiation of the innate immune response triggered by microglia/macrophages, the adaptive immune response associated with T lymphocytes also participates in the complex pathophysiology of stroke and partially informs the outcome of stroke. Preclinical and clinical studies have revealed the conflicting roles of T cells in post-stroke inflammation and as potential therapeutic targets. Therefore, exploring the mechanisms that underlie the adaptive immune response associated with T lymphocytes in stroke is essential. The T-cell receptor (TCR) and its downstream signaling regulate T lymphocyte differentiation and activation. This review comprehensively summarizes the various molecules that regulate TCR signaling and the T-cell response. It covers both the co-stimulatory and co-inhibitory molecules and their roles in stroke. Because immunoregulatory therapies targeting TCR and its mediators have achieved great success in some proliferative diseases, this article also summarizes the advances in therapeutic strategies related to TCR signaling in lymphocytes after stroke, which can facilitate translation. DATA AVAILABILITY: No data was used for the research described in the article.

Abstract
NLRP3 (NLRP3: NOD-, LRR-, and pyrin domain-containing protein 3) inflammasome is the best-described inflammasome that plays a crucial role in the innate immune system and a wide range of diseases. The intimate association of NLRP3 with neurological disorders, including neurodegenerative diseases and strokes, further emphasizes its prominence as a clinical target for pharmacological intervention. However, after decades of exploration, the mechanism of NLRP3 activation remains indefinite. This review highlights recent advances and gaps in our insights into the regulation of NLRP3 inflammasome. Furthermore, we present several emerging pharmacological approaches of clinical translational potential targeting the NLRP3 inflammasome in neurological diseases. More importantly, despite small-molecule inhibitors of the NLRP3 inflammasome, we have focused explicitly on Chinese herbal medicine and botanical ingredients, which may be splendid therapeutics by inhibiting NLRP3 inflammasome for central nervous system disorders. We expect that we can contribute new perspectives to the treatment of neurological diseases.

Abstract
The inflammatory and immunological responses play a significant role after stroke. The innate immune activation stimulated by microglia during stroke results in the migration of macrophages and lymphocytes into the brain and are responsible for tissue damage. The immune response and inflammation following stroke have no defined targets, and the intricacies of the immunological and inflammatory processes are only partially understood. Innate immune cells enter the brain and meninges during the acute phase, which can cause ischemia damage. Activation of systemic immunity is caused by danger signals sent into the bloodstream by injured brain cells, which is followed by a significant immunodepression that encourages life-threatening infections. Neuropsychiatric sequelae, a major source of post-stroke morbidity, may be induced by an adaptive immune response that is initiated by antigen presentation during the chronic period and is directed against the brain. Thus, the current review discusses the role of immune response and inflammation in stroke pathogenesis, their role in the progression of injury during the stroke, and the emerging targets for the modulation of the mechanism of immune response and inflammation that may have possible therapeutic benefits against stroke.

Abstract
Objectives (1) To clarify the dynamic relationship between the expression of myeloperoxidase (MPO) and microglial activation of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), (2) to explore the effect of inhibition of MPO on microglial activation, and (3) to observe the improvement in the neurobehavior of mice with inhibition of MPO. Methods C57 BL/6 mice and CX3CR1 + /GFP mice were used to establish a phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) group, an ICH group, and a 4-aminobenzoic acid hydrazide (ABAH) group. Longa score, open field locomotion, hind-limb clasping test, immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, blood routine detection, and flow cytometry were used. Results The neurobehavior of the mice was significantly impaired following ICH (P < 0.01); the expression of MPO was significantly increased following ICH, and reached a peak value at 6 h post-injury (P < 0.001). Moreover, the microglial activation increased significantly following ICH, and reached a peak level at 24 h post-injury (P < 0.01). Following inhibition of MPO, the activation of microglia in the ICH group decreased significantly (P < 0.001). Moreover, the neurobehavior of the ICH group was significantly improved with MPO inhibition (P < 0.05). Conclusion MPO may be an upstream molecule activated by microglia and following inhibition of MPO can improve secondary injury resulting from ICH.

Abstract
Stroke is a devastating disease associated with high mortality and disability worldwide, and is generally classified as ischemic or hemorrhagic, which share certain similar pathophysiological processes. Oxidative stress is a critical factor involved in stroke-induced injury, which not only directly damages brain tissue, but also enhances a series of pathological signaling cascades, contributing to inflammation, brain edema, and neuronal death. To alleviate these serious secondary brain injuries, neuroprotective agents targeting oxidative stress inhibition may serve as a promising treatment strategy. Melatonin is a hormone secreted by the pineal gland, and has various properties, such as antioxidation, anti-inflammation, circadian rhythm modulation, and promotion of tissue regeneration. Numerous animal experiments studying stroke have confirmed that melatonin exerts considerable neuroprotective effects, partially via anti-oxidative stress. In this review, we introduce the possible role of melatonin as an antioxidant in the treatment of stroke based on the latest published studies of animal experiments and clinical research.

Abstract
Stroke is the second highest cause of death globally, with an increasing incidence in developing countries. Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) accounts for 10-15% of all strokes. ICH is associated with poor neurological outcomes and high mortality due to the combination of primary and secondary injury. Fortunately, experimental therapies are available that may improve functional outcomes in patients with ICH. These therapies targeting secondary brain injury have attracted substantial attention in their translational potential. Here, we summarize recent advances in therapeutic strategies and directions for ICH and discuss the barriers and issues that need to be overcome to improve ICH prognosis.

Abstract
Poststroke depression (PSD) does not exist before and occurs after the stroke. PSD can appear shortly after the onset of stroke or be observed in the weeks and months after the acute or subacute phase of stroke. The pathogenesis of PSD is unclear, resulting in poor treatment effects. With research advancement, immunoactive cells in the central nervous system, particularly microglia, play a role in the occurrence and development of PSD. Microglia affects the homeostasis of the central nervous system through various factors, leading to the occurrence of depression. The research progress of microglia in PSD has been summarized to review the evidence regarding the pathogenesis and treatment target of PSD in the future.

Abstract
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a devastating type of stroke, frequently resulting in unfavorable functional outcomes. Up to 15% of stroke patients experience ICH and approximately half of those have a lethal outcome within a year. Considering the huge burden of ICH, timely prevention and optimized treatment strategies are particularly relevant. Nevertheless, ICH management options are quite limited, despite thorough research. More and more trials highlight the importance of the genetic component in the pathogenesis of ICH. Apart from distinct monogenic disorders of familial character, mostly occurring in younger subjects, there are numerous polygenic risk factors, such as hypertension, neurovascular inflammation, disorders of lipid metabolism and coagulation cascade, and small vessel disease. In this paper we describe gene-related ICH types and underlying mechanisms. We also briefly discuss the emerging treatment options and possible clinical relevance of the genetic findings in ICH management. Although existing data seems of more theoretical and scientific value so far, a growing body of evidence, combined with rapidly evolving experimental research, will probably serve clinicians in the future.

Development and Validation of a Clinical-Based Signature to Predict the 90-Day Functional Outcome for Spontaneous Intracerebral Hemorrhage. Front Aging Neurosci 2022; 14:904085.

Abstract
We aimed to develop and validate an objective and easy-to-use model for identifying patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) who have a poor 90-day prognosis. This three-center retrospective study included a large cohort of 1,122 patients with ICH who presented within 6 h of symptom onset [training cohort, n = 835; internal validation cohort, n = 201; external validation cohort (center 2 and 3), n = 86]. We collected the patients’ baseline clinical, radiological, and laboratory data as well as the 90-day functional outcomes. Independent risk factors for prognosis were identified through univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression analysis. A nomogram was developed to visualize the model results while a calibration curve was used to verify whether the predictive performance was satisfactorily consistent with the ideal curve. Finally, we used decision curves to assess the clinical utility of the model. At 90 days, 714 (63.6%) patients had a poor prognosis. Factors associated with prognosis included age, midline shift, intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH), subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), hypodensities, ICH volume, perihematomal edema (PHE) volume, temperature, systolic blood pressure, Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score, white blood cell (WBC), neutrophil, and neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) (p < 0.05). Moreover, age, ICH volume, and GCS were identified as independent risk factors for prognosis. For identifying patients with poor prognosis, the model showed an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.874, 0.822, and 0.868 in the training cohort, internal validation, and external validation cohorts, respectively. The calibration curve revealed that the nomogram showed satisfactory calibration in the training and validation cohorts. Decision curve analysis showed the clinical utility of the nomogram. Taken together, the nomogram developed in this study could facilitate the individualized outcome prediction in patients with ICH.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hematoma leads to progressive neurological deficits and poor outcomes after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Early clearance of hematoma is widely recognized as an essential treatment to limit the damage and improve the clinical prognosis. CD163, alias hemoglobin (Hb) scavenger receptor on microglia, plays a pivotal role in hematoma absorption, but CD163 on neurons permits Hb uptake and results in neurotoxicity. In this study, we focus on how to specially promote microglial but not neuronal CD163 mediated-Hb uptake and hematoma absorption. METHODS RNA sequencing was used to explore the potential molecules involved in ICH progression, and hematoma was detected by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Western blot and immunofluorescence were used to evaluate the expression and location of fractalkine (FKN) after ICH. Erythrophagocytosis assay was performed to study the specific mechanism of action of FKN in hematoma clearance. Small interfering RNA (siRNA) transfection was used to explore the effect of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ (PPAR-γ) on hematoma absorption. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to determine the serum FKN concentration in ICH patients. RESULTS FKN was found to be significantly increased around the hematoma in a mouse model after ICH. With its unique receptor CX3CR1 in microglia, FKN significantly decreased the hematoma size and Hb content, and improved neurological deficits in vivo. Further, FKN could enhance erythrophagocytosis of microglia in vitro via the CD163/ hemeoxygenase-1 (HO-1) axis, while AZD8797 (a specific CX3CR1 inhibitor) reversed this effect. Moreover, PPAR-γ was found to mediate the increase in the CD163/HO-1 axis expression and erythrophagocytosis induced by FKN in microglia. Of note, a higher serum FKN level was found to be associated with better hematoma resolution in ICH patients. CONCLUSIONS We systematically identified that FKN may be a potential therapeutic target to improve hematoma absorption and we shed light on ICH treatment.

Abstract
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) refers to hemorrhage caused by non-traumatic vascular rupture in the brain parenchyma, which is characterized by acute onset, severe illness, and high mortality and disability. The influx of blood into the brain tissue after cerebrovascular rupture causes severe brain damage, including primary injury caused by persistent hemorrhage and secondary brain injury (SBI) induced by hematoma. The mechanism of brain injury is complicated and is a significant cause of disability after ICH. Therefore, it is essential to understand the mechanism of brain injury after ICH to develop drugs to prevent and treat ICH. Studies have confirmed that many traditional Chinese medicines (TCM) can reduce brain injury by improving neurotoxicity, inflammation, oxidative stress (OS), blood-brain barrier (BBB), apoptosis, and neurological dysfunction after ICH. Starting from the pathophysiological process of brain injury after ICH, this paper summarizes the mechanisms by which TCM improves cerebral injury after ICH and its comparison with conventional western medicine, so as to provide clues and a reference for the clinical application of TCM in the prevention and treatment of hemorrhagic stroke and further research and development of new drugs.

Abstract
Background and purposeDespite evidence for the role of genetic factors in stroke, only a small proportion of strokes have been clearly attributed to monogenic factors, due to phenotypic heterogeneity. The goal of this study was to determine whether a significant relationship exists between human galectin-7 gene LGALS7 promoter region polymorphisms and the risk of stroke due to non-traumatic intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH).MethodsThis two-stage genetic association study included an initial exploratory stage followed by a discovery stage. During the exploratory stage, transgenic galectin-7 mice or transgenic mice with the scrambled sequence of the hairpin structure –silenced down gene LGALS7—were generated and then expressed differentially expressed proteins and galectin-7-interacting proteins were identified through proteomic analysis. During the discovery stage, a single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotyping approach was used to determine associations between 2 LGALS7 SNPs and ICH stroke risk for a cohort of 24 patients with stroke of the Chinese Han population and 70 controls.ResultsDuring the exploratory phase, LGALS7 expression was found to be decreased in TGLGALS–DOWN mice as compared to its expression in TGLGALS mice. During the discovery phase, analysis of LGALS7 sequences of 24 non-traumatic ICH cases and 70 controls led to the identification of 2 ICH susceptibility loci: a genomic region on 19q13.2 containing two LGALS7 SNPs, rs567785577 and rs138945880, whereby the A allele of rs567785577 and the T allele of rs138945880 were associated with greater risk of contracting ICH [for T and A vs. C and G, unadjusted odds ratio (OR) = 13.5; 95% CI = 2.249–146.5; p = 0.002]. This is the first study to genotype the galectin-7 promoter in patients with hemorrhagic stroke. Genotype and allele association tests and preliminary analysis of patients with stroke revealed that a single locus may be a genetic risk factor for hemorrhagic stroke.ConclusionA and T alleles of two novel SNP loci of 19q13.2, rs567785577 and rs138945880, respectively, were evaluated for associations with susceptibility to ICH. Further studies with expanded case numbers that include subjects of other ethnic populations are needed to elucidate mechanisms underlying associations between these SNPs and ICH risk.

Abstract
Interleukin-18 (IL-18), a pro-inflammatory cytokine, is thought to be associated with inflammation in many neurological diseases such as ischemic stroke and poststroke depression, but the role of IL-18 in inflammatory injury after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) remains unclear. In this study, we established the ICH model in male mice and found that IL-18 expression including protein and mRNA levels was significantly increased in brain tissues after ICH. Meanwhile, exogenous IL-18 exacerbated cerebral hematoma and neurological deficits following ICH. In the IL-18 knockout group, the size of hematoma and neurological functions after ICH was decreased compared with the wild-type group, suggesting the critical role of IL-18 on the modulation of brain injury after ICH. Importantly, exogenous IL-18 increased microglial activation in brain tissues after ICH. Furthermore, IL-18 knockout resulted in the reduction of activated microglia after ICH. These results indicated that IL-18 may regulate the inflammatory response after ICH through the activation of microglia. Thus, IL-18 is expected to be a promising therapeutic target for secondary brain injury after ICH.

Lymphocyte-Related Immunomodulatory Therapy with Siponimod (BAF-312) Improves Outcomes in Mice with Acute Intracerebral Hemorrhage. Aging Dis 2022; 14:966-991. [PMID: 37191423 DOI: 10.14336/ad.2022.1102] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/23/2022] [Accepted: 11/02/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Modulators of the sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor (S1PR) have been proposed as a promising strategy for treating stroke. However, the detailed mechanisms and the potential translational value of S1PR modulators for intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) therapy warrant exploration. Using collagenase VII-S-induced ICH in the left striatum of mice, we investigated the effects of siponimod on cellular and molecular immunoinflammatory responses in the hemorrhagic brain in the presence or absence of anti-CD3 monoclonal antibodies (Abs). We also assessed the severity of short- and long-term brain injury and evaluated the efficacy of siponimod in long-term neurologic function. Siponimod treatment significantly decreased brain lesion volume and brain water content on day 3 and the volume of the residual lesion and brain atrophy on day 28. It also inhibited neuronal degeneration on day 3 and improved long-term neurologic function. These protective effects may be associated with a reduction in the expression of lymphotactin (XCL1) and T-helper 1 (Th1)-type cytokines (interleukin 1β and interferon-γ). It may also be associated with inhibition of neutrophil and lymphocyte infiltration and alleviation of T lymphocyte activation in perihematomal tissues on day 3. However, siponimod did not affect the infiltration of natural killer cells (NK) or the activation of CD3-negative immunocytes in perihematomal tissues. Furthermore, it did not influence the activation or proliferation of microglia or astrocytes around the hematoma on day 3. Siponimod appears to have a profound impact on infiltration and activation of T lymphocytes after ICH. The effects of neutralized anti-CD3 Abs-induced T-lymphocyte tolerance on siponimod immunomodulation further confirmed that siponimod alleviated the cellular and molecular Th1 response in the hemorrhagic brain. This study provides preclinical evidence that encourages future investigation of immunomodulators, including siponimod, which target the lymphocyte-related immunoinflammatory reaction in ICH therapy.

Impact of Perihematomal Edema on Infectious Complications after Spontaneous Intracerebral Hemorrhage. J Stroke Cerebrovasc Dis 2021; 30:105827. [PMID: 33932750 DOI: 10.1016/j.jstrokecerebrovasdis.2021.105827] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/02/2021] [Revised: 03/29/2021] [Accepted: 04/01/2021] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Intracerebral hematoma involves two mechanisms leading to brain injury: the mechanical disruption of adjacent brain tissue by the hematoma and delayed neurological injury. Delayed neurological injury involves perihematomal edema (PHE) formation. Infectious complications following intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) are a significant contributor to post-ICH recovery. We sought to identify a correlation between PHE volumes and infectious complications following ICH. We also sought to explore the clinical impact of this association. MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective study included 143 patients with spontaneous ICH. CT scans were performed on admission, and 3 h, 24 h, and 72 h following admission. Hematoma and PHE volumes were calculated using a semi-automatic method. The absolute PHE volume at each time point and changes in PHE volume (ΔPHE) were calculated. Neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and serum C-reactive protein (CRP) levels were measured from the obtained blood samples. Neurological deterioration (ND) was assessed in all patients. RESULTS Infectious complications were associated with ΔPHE72-24 (P < 0.01), whereas there was no association between infectious complications and ΔPHE24-3 (P = 0.09) or ΔPHE3-ad (P = 0.81). There was a positive correlation between ΔPHE72-24 and NLR (r = 0.85, 95% CI: 0.79-0.90, P < 0.01) and between ΔPHE72-24 and CRP levels (r = 0.89, 95% CI: 0.84-0.92, P < 0.01). The ND rate in the group of patients with infectious complications comorbid with high ΔPHE72-24 was higher than the other patient groups (P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS This study revealed a correlation between ΔPHE72-24 and infectious complications after spontaneous ICH, which was associated with markers of systemic inflammation. This phenotype linkage is a negative cascade that drives ND.

Abstract
Over the past few decades, the immune system, including both the adaptive and innate immune systems, proved to be essential and critical to brain damage and recovery in the pathogenesis of several diseases, opening a new avenue for developing new immunomodulatory therapies and novel treatments for many neurological diseases. However, due to the specificity and structural complexity of the central nervous system (CNS), and the limit of the related technologies, the biology of the immune response in the brain is still poorly understood. Here, we discuss the application of novel technologies in studying the brain immune response, including single-cell RNA analysis, cytometry by time-of-flight, and whole-genome transcriptomic and proteomic analysis. We believe that advancements in technology related to immune research will provide an optimistic future for brain repair.

Abstract
Preclinical and clinical research has demonstrated that inflammation is a critical factor regulating intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH)-induced brain injury. Growing evidence suggests that myeloid cells and lymphocytes have an effect on the pathophysiological processes associated with ICH, such as inflammation, immune responses, perihematomal edema formation, blood-brain barrier (BBB) integrity, and cell death. However, the underlying mechanisms remain largely unknown. We aimed to explore the role immune cells played at different stages of the ICH. To achieve this, novel bioinformatics algorithms were employed to analyze the gene expression profiles and three different analytical tools were utilized to predict the abundances of cell types. In this study, we found that natural killer (NK) cells infiltrated into the brain parenchyma after ICH. Infiltrating NK cells may mediate brain injury through degranulation and recruitment of other cells. Besides, in the acute phase of ICH, monocytes in peripheral blood carried out phagocytosis and secretion of cytokines. On the other hand, in the subacute stage, non-classical monocytes were activated and showed a stronger ability to carry out heme metabolism, wound healing, and antigen processing and presentation. In conclusion, our findings emphasize the significance of intracerebral infiltrating immunocytes in ICH and demonstrate that ICH is a systemic disease affected by peripheral blood. The hub genes identified might be promising therapeutic targets. We also provide a reference on how to use bioinformatics approaches to explore non-neoplastic immune-related diseases.

Abstract
Introduction: Neuroinflammation has been linked to poor neurologic and functional outcomes in many cerebrovascular disorders. Immune checkpoints are upregulated in the setting of traumatic brain injury, intracerebral hemorrhage, ischemic stroke, central nervous systems vasculitis, and post-hemorrhagic vasospasm, and are potential mediators of pathologic inflammation. Burgeoning evidence suggests that immune checkpoint modulation is a promising treatment strategy to decrease immune cell recruitment, cytokine secretion, brain edema, and neurodegeneration.Areas covered: This review discusses the role of immune checkpoints in neuroinflammation, and the potential for therapeutic immune checkpoint modulation in inflammatory cerebrovascular disorders. A search of Pubmed and clinicaltrials.gov was performed to find relevant literature published within the last 50 years.Expert opinion: The clinical success of immune-activating checkpoint modulators in human cancers has shown the immense clinical potential of checkpoint-based immunotherapy. Given that checkpoint blockade can also precipitate a pathologic pro-inflammatory or autoimmune response, it is plausible that these pathways may also be targeted to quell aberrant inflammation. A limited but growing number of studies suggest that immune checkpoints play a critical role in regulating the immune response in the central nervous system in a variety of contexts, and that immune-deactivating checkpoint modulators may be a promising treatment strategy for acute and chronic neuroinflammation in cerebrovascular disorders.

Abstract
Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a type of hemorrhagic stroke associated with high mortality and morbidity. The blood-brain-barrier (BBB) is a structure consisting primarily of cerebral microvascular endothelial cells, end feet of astrocytes, extracellular matrix, and pericytes. Post-SAH pathophysiology included early brain injury and delayed cerebral ischemia. BBB disruption was a critical mechanism of early brain injury and was associated with other pathophysiological events. These pathophysiological events may propel the development of secondary brain injury, known as delayed cerebral ischemia. Imaging advancements to measure BBB after SAH primarily focused on exploring innovative methods to predict clinical outcome, delayed cerebral ischemia, and delayed infarction related to delayed cerebral ischemia in acute periods. These predictions are based on detecting abnormal changes in BBB permeability. The parameters of BBB permeability are described by changes in computed tomography (CT) perfusion and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Kep seems to be a stable and sensitive indicator in CT perfusion, whereas Ktrans is a reliable parameter for dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI. Future prediction models that utilize both the volume of BBB disruption and stable parameters of BBB may be a promising direction to develop practical clinical tools. These tools could provide greater accuracy in predicting clinical outcome and risk of deterioration. Therapeutic interventional exploration targeting BBB disruption is also promising, considering the extended duration of post-SAH BBB disruption.

Abstract
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and perihematomal edema (PHE) volumes are major determinants of ICH outcomes as is the immune system which plays a significant role in damage and repair. Thus, we performed whole-transcriptome analyses of 18 ICH patients to delineate peripheral blood genes and networks associated with ICH volume, absolute perihematomal edema (aPHE) volume, and relative PHE (aPHE/ICH; rPHE). We found 440, 266, and 391 genes correlated with ICH and aPHE volumes and rPHE, respectively (p < 0.005, partial-correlation > |0.6|). These mainly represented inflammatory pathways including NF-κB, TREM1, and Neuroinflammation Signaling-most activated with larger volumes. Weighted Gene Co-Expression Network Analysis identified seven modules significantly correlated with these measures (p < 0.05). Most modules were enriched in neutrophil, monocyte, erythroblast, and/or T cell-specific genes. Autophagy, apoptosis, HIF-1α, inflammatory and neuroinflammatory response (including Toll-like receptors), cell adhesion (including MMP9), platelet activation, T cell receptor signaling, and mRNA splicing were represented in these modules (FDR p < 0.05). Module hub genes, potential master regulators, were enriched in neutrophil-specific genes in three modules. Hub genes included NCF2, NCF4, STX3, and CSF3R, and involved immune response, autophagy, and neutrophil chemotaxis. One module that correlated negatively with ICH volume correlated positively with rPHE. Its genes and hubs were enriched in T cell-specific genes including hubs LCK and ITK, Src family tyrosine kinases whose modulation improved outcomes and reduced BBB dysfunction following experimental ICH. This study uncovers molecular underpinnings associated with ICH and PHE volumes and pathophysiology in human ICH, where knowledge is scarce. The identified pathways and hub genes may represent novel therapeutic targets.

Abstract
Deferoxamine (DFO) is a widely used drug for the treatment of iron-overload-related diseases in the clinic. However, its inherent shortcomings, such as a short plasma half-life and cytotoxicity, need to be addressed to widen its clinical utility. In this study, PEGylated DFO was first synthesized, and its chemical structure was characterized, and then in vitro and in vivo studies were performed. The metabolism assay showed that the stability of the PEGylated DFO was significantly improved, with a half-life 20 times greater than DFO. Furthermore, the PEGylated DFO exhibited significantly lower cytotoxicity compared with DFO. Additionally, the hemocompatibility assay showed that the PEGylated DFO had no significant effect on the coagulation system, red blood cells, complement, and platelets. In vivo studies indicated that PEGylated DFO was capable of reducing the iron accumulation, degeneration of neurons, and promotion of functional recovery. Taken together, PEGylated DFO improved stability, cytotoxicity, and iron-overload in an experimental stroke model in rats, making it a promising therapy for treating iron-overload conditions in the clinic.

Abstract
Post-stroke inflammation is almost involved in the whole process of stroke pathogenesis, which serves as a prime target for developing new stroke therapies. Despite known sex differences in the incidence and outcome of stroke, few preclinical or clinical studies take into account sex bias in treatment. Recent evidence suggests that poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP)-1 inhibitor exerts sex-specific neuroprotection in the ischemic stroke. This study was aimed to investigate the effects of delayed PARP-1 inhibition on post-stroke inflammation and possible sexual dimorphism, and explore the possible relevant mediators. In male and female C57BL/6 mice subjected to transit middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO), we found that delayed treatment of PARP-1 inhibitor at 48 h following reperfusion could comparably alleviate neuro-inflammation at 72 h after stroke. Whereas, more remarkable reduction of iNOS and MMP9 induced by PARP-1 inhibition were found in male MCAO mice, and the improvement of behavioral outcomes was more prominent in male MCAO mice. In addition, we further identified that PARP-1 inhibitor might equivalently suppress microglial activation in males and females in vivo and in vitro. With proteomic analysis and western blotting assay, it was found that stroke-induced peroxiredoxin-1 (Prx1) expression was significantly affected by PARP-1 inhibition. Interestingly, injection of recombinant Prx1 into the ischemic core could block the anti-inflammatory effects of PARP-1 inhibitor in the experimental stroke. These findings suggest that PARP-1 inhibitor has effects on regulating microglial activation and post-stroke inflammation in males and females, and holds promise as a novel therapeutic agent for stroke with extended therapeutic time window. Efforts need to be made to delineate the actions of PARP-1 inhibition in stroke, and here we propose that Prx1 might be a critical mediator.

Abstract
Hemorrhagic stroke is a life-threatening neurological disease characterized by high mortality and morbidity. Various pathophysiological responses are initiated after blood enters the interstitial space of the brain, compressing the brain tissue and thus causing cell death. Recently, three new programmed cell deaths (PCDs), necroptosis, pyroptosis, and ferroptosis, were also found to be important contributors in the pathophysiology of hemorrhagic stroke. Additionally, blood-brain barrier (BBB) dysfunction plays a crucial role in the pathophysiology of hemorrhagic stroke. The primary insult following BBB dysfunction may disrupt the tight junctions (TJs), transporters, transcytosis, and leukocyte adhesion molecule expression, which may lead to brain edema, ionic homeostasis disruption, altered signaling, and immune infiltration, consequently causing neuronal cell death. This review article summarizes recent advances in our knowledge of the mechanisms regarding these new PCDs and reviews their contributions in hemorrhagic stroke and potential crosstalk in BBB dysfunction. Numerous studies revealed that necroptosis, pyroptosis, and ferroptosis participate in cell death after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) and intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Endothelial dysfunction caused by these three PCDs may be the critical factor during BBB damage. Also, several signaling pathways were involved in PCDs and BBB dysfunction. These new PCDs (necroptosis, pyroptosis, ferroptosis), as well as BBB dysfunction, each play a critical role after hemorrhagic stroke. A better understanding of the interrelationship among them might provide us with better therapeutic targets for the treatment of hemorrhagic stroke.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) patients frequently encounter cardiovascular complications which may contribute to increased mortality and poor long term outcome. ICH induces systemic oxidative stress and activates peripheral immune responses which are involved in the pathological cascade leading to cardiac dysfunction and heart failure after ICH. We have previously reported that ICH induces progressive cardiac dysfunction in mice without primary cardiac diseases. In this study, we have investigated the role of immune response in mediating cardiac dysfunction post ICH in mice. METHODS Adult male C57BL/6 J mice were randomly assigned to the following groups (n = 8/group): 1) sham control; 2) ICH; 3) splenectomy with ICH (ICH + Spx); 4) splenectomy alone (Spx). Echocardiography was performed at 7 and 28 days after ICH. A battery of neurological and cognitive tests were performed. Flow cytometry, western blot and immunostaining were used to test mechanisms of ICH induced cardiac dysfunction. RESULTS Compared to sham control mice, Spx alone does not induce acute (7 day) or chronic (28 day) cardiac dysfunction. ICH induces significant neurological and cognitive deficits, as well as acute and chronic cardiac dysfunction compared to sham control mice. Mice subjected to ICH + Spx exhibit significantly improved neurological and cognitive function compared to ICH mice. Mice with ICH + Spx also exhibit significantly improved acute and chronic cardiac function compared to ICH mice indicated by increased left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and left ventricular fractional shortening (LVFS), decreased cardiac fibrosis, decreased cardiomyocyte hypertrophy, decreased cardiac infiltration of immune cells and decreased expression of inflammatory factor and oxidative stress in the heart. CONCLUSIONS Our study demonstrates that splenectomy attenuates ICH-induced neurological and cognitive impairment as well as ICH-induced cardiac dysfunction in mice. Inflammatory cell infiltration into heart and immune responses mediated by the spleen may contribute to ICH-induce acute and chronic cardiac dysfunction and pathological cardiac remodeling.

Int Immunopharmacol 2020; 80:106141. [PMID: 31982825 DOI: 10.1016/j.intimp.2019.106141] [Citation(s) in RCA: 31] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/21/2019] [Revised: 11/30/2019] [Accepted: 12/19/2019] [Indexed: 12/22/2022]
Abstract
Neuroinflammation significantly contributes to brain injury and neurological deterioration following intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). MicroRNA-152(miR-152) was reported to be downregulated in ICH patients and to possess anti-inflammatory properties in other diseases. In this study, we aimed to explore the role of miR-152 in ICH, and the underlying mechanisms, using a collagenase-induced rat ICH model and hemin-exposure as a cell model. We first confirmed that miR-152 was consistently downregulated in both models. Overexpression of miR-152 in microglial BV2 cells reduced hemin-induced inflammatory response and reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, thus protecting co-cultured neuronal HT22 cells. Moreover, overexpression of miR-152 by intracerebroventricular lentivirus injection in ICH rats significantly alleviated neurodecifits, brain edema, and hematoma. These changes were associated with a marked reduction in ICH-induced neuronal death, as detected by co-staining of NeuN and TUNEL, and ICH-induced neuroinflammation, as revealed by inflammatory cytokine levels as well as by the number of Iba1 positive-stained cells in the perihematomal region. Mechanistically, miR-152 significantly inhibited ICH-induced TXNIP expression, and its overexpression blocked the interaction between TXNIP and NOD-like receptor pyrin domain containing 3(NLRP3), thus inhibiting NLRP3-driven inflammasome activation to attenuate neuroinflammation in vivo and in vitro. Moreover, the results of si-TXNIP transfection further confirmed that TXNIP inhibition was involved in the reduction of NLRP3 inflammasome activation by the overexpression of miR-152. Collectively, the present study demonstrates that miR-152 confers protection against ICH-induced neuroinflammation and brain injury by inhibiting TXNIP-mediated NLRP3 inflammasome activation, indicating a potential strategy for ICH treatment.

Activation of PPAR-β/δ Attenuates Brain Injury by Suppressing Inflammation and Apoptosis in a Collagenase-Induced Intracerebral Hemorrhage Mouse Model. Neurochem Res 2020; 45:837-850. [PMID: 31939088 PMCID: PMC7078151 DOI: 10.1007/s11064-020-02956-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/03/2019] [Revised: 12/02/2019] [Accepted: 01/07/2020] [Indexed: 01/01/2023]
Abstract
Brain injury has been proposed as the major cause of the poor outcomes associated with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Emerging evidence indicates that the nuclear receptor, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor β/δ (PPAR-β/δ), plays a crucial role in the pathological process of central nervous impairment. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the protective effects of PPAR-β/δ activation using a selective PPAR-β/δ agonist, GW0742, against brain injury after ICH in a mouse model. ICH was induced by intravenous injection of collagenase into the right caudate putamen. To examine the protective effect of PPAR-β/δ activation against ICH-induced brain injury, mice were either intraperitoneally injected with GW0742 (3 mg/kg, body weight) or saline (control group) 30 min before inducing ICH. Behavioral dysfunction was evaluated 24 and 72 h after injury. Then, all mice were killed to assess hematoma volume, brain water content, and blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability. TUNEL and Nissl staining were performed to quantify the brain injury. The expression of PPAR-β/δ, interleukin (IL)-1β, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, Bcl-2-related X-protein (Bax), and B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2) in the perihematomal area was examined by immunohistochemistry and western blotting analysis. Mice treated with GW0742 showed significantly less severe behavioral deficits compared to the control group, accompanied by increased expression of PPAR-β/δ and Bcl-2, and increased expression of IL-1β, TNF-α, and Bax decreased simultaneously in the GW0742-treated group. Furthermore, the GW0742-pretreated group showed significantly less brain edema and BBB leakage. Neuronal loss was attenuated, and the number of apoptotic neuronal cells in perihematomal tissues reduced, in the GW0742-pretreated group compared to the control group. However, the hematoma volume did not decrease significantly on day 3 after ICH. These results suggest that the activation of PPAR-β/δ exerts a neuroprotective effect on ICH-induced brain injury, possibly through anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic pathways.

Abstract
Abstract
The prognosis of intracerebral haemorrhage continues to be devastating despite much research into this condition. A prominent feature of intracerebral haemorrhage is neuroinflammation, particularly the excessive representation of pro-inflammatory CNS-intrinsic microglia and monocyte-derived macrophages that infiltrate from the circulation. The pro-inflammatory microglia/macrophages produce injury-enhancing factors, including inflammatory cytokines, matrix metalloproteinases and reactive oxygen species. Conversely, the regulatory microglia/macrophages with potential reparative and anti-inflammatory roles are outcompeted in the early stages after intracerebral haemorrhage, and their beneficial roles appear to be overwhelmed by pro-inflammatory microglia/macrophages. In this review, we describe the activation of microglia/macrophages following intracerebral haemorrhage in animal models and clinical subjects, and consider their multiple mechanisms of cellular injury after haemorrhage. We review strategies and medications aimed at suppressing the pro-inflammatory activities of microglia/macrophages, and those directed at elevating the regulatory properties of these myeloid cells after intracerebral haemorrhage. We consider the translational potential of these medications from preclinical models to clinical use after intracerebral haemorrhage injury, and suggest that several approaches still lack the experimental support necessary for use in humans. Nonetheless, the preclinical data support the use of deactivator or inhibitor of pro-inflammatory microglia/macrophages, whilst enhancing the regulatory phenotype, as part of the therapeutic approach to improve the prognosis of intracerebral haemorrhage.

Abstract
The public health sector faces a huge challenge as a result of the high prevalence and burden of disability caused by ischemic cardio-cerebrovascular disease (CVD) and depression. Although studies have explored the underlying mechanisms and potential therapies to address conditions, there is no treatment breakthrough, especially for depression which is highly influenced by social stressors. However, accumulating evidence reveals that CVD and depression are correlated and share common risk factors, particularly obesity, diabetes, and hypertension. They also share common mechanisms, including oxidative stress (OS), inflammation and immune response, cell death signaling pathway, and microbiome-gut-brain axis. This review summarizes the relationship between ischemic CVD and depression and describes the interactions among common risk factors and mechanisms for these two diseases. In addition, we propose that OS mediates the crosstalk between these diseases. We also reveal the potential of antioxidants to ameliorate OS-related injuries.

Abstract
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a subtype of hemorrhagic stroke with high mortality and morbidity. The resulting hematoma within brain parenchyma induces a series of adverse events causing primary and secondary brain injury. The mechanism of injury after ICH is very complicated and has not yet been illuminated. This review discusses some key pathophysiology mechanisms in ICH such as oxidative stress (OS), inflammation, iron toxicity, and thrombin formation. The corresponding therapeutic targets and therapeutic strategies are also reviewed.
