[PMID: 38943026 DOI: 10.1007/s12975-024-01273-6] [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: 03/22/2024] [Revised: 06/03/2024] [Accepted: 06/20/2024] [Indexed: 06/30/2024]
Abstract
Blood components released by erythrolysis play an important role in secondary brain injury and posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus (PHH) after intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH). The current study examined the impact of N-acetylheparin (NAH), a complement inhibitor, on early erythrolysis, PHH and iron accumulation in aged rats following IVH. This study, on 18-months-old male Fischer 344 rats, was in 3 parts. First, rats had an intracerebroventricular injection of autologous blood (IVH) mixed with NAH or saline, or saline alone. After MRI at four hours, Western blot and immunohistochemistry examined complement activation and electron microscopy choroid plexus and periventricular damage. Second, rats had an IVH with NAH or vehicle, or saline. Rats underwent serial MRI at 4 h and 1 day to assess ventricular volume and erythrolysis. Immunohistochemistry and H&E staining examined secondary brain injury. Third, rats had an IVH with NAH or vehicle. Serial MRIs on day 1 and 28 assessed ventricular volume and iron accumulation. H&E staining and immunofluorescence evaluated choroid plexus phagocytes. Complement activation was found 4 h after IVH, and co-injection of NAH inhibited that activation. NAH administration attenuated erythrolysis, reduced ventricular volume, alleviated periventricular and choroid plexus injury at 4 h and 1 day after IVH. NAH decreased iron accumulation, the number of choroid plexus phagocytes, and attenuated hydrocephalus at 28 days after IVH. Inhibiting complement can reduce early erythrolysis, attenuates hydrocephalus and iron accumulation after IVH in aged animals.

[PMID: 38263974 PMCID: PMC10800770 DOI: 10.1016/j.jointm.2023.08.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/06/2023] [Revised: 06/24/2023] [Accepted: 08/16/2023] [Indexed: 01/25/2024]
Abstract
Background Severe intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is the most devastating subtype of stroke resulting in high mortality and disability. At present, the development of targeted treatments to minimize the high morbidity and mortality is limited partly due to the lack of a severe ICH animal model. In this study, we aimed to establish an accurate severe ICH model in rats and examine the pathological and physiological changes associated with ICH. Methods A rat model of severe ICH model was established by intrastriatal injection of autologous blood using different blood volumes (ICH 100 µL group, ICH 130 µL group, ICH 160 µL group, ICH 170 µL group, and ICH 180 µL group). The mortality was assessed during the 28-day post-ICH period. Short- and long-term neurological deficits were evaluated using the Longa method, foot fault, falling latency, and Morris water maze tests. Brain water content, hematoma volume, hemoglobin content, and magnetic resonance imaging were assessed to determine the extent of brain injury. Immunofluorescence staining was conducted to examine microglial activation and neuronal apoptosis. Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining, lung water content, and western blotting were used to assess lung injury following ICH. Results The mortality of ICH rats increased significantly with an increase in autologous blood injection. The 28-day mortality in the 100 µL, 130 µL, 160 µL, 170 µL, and 180 µL ICH groups were 5%, 20%, 40%, 75%, and 100%, respectively. A significantly higher 28-day mortality was observed in the ICH 160 µL group compared to the ICH 100 µL group. The ICH 160 µL group exhibited significantly increased neurological deficits, brain edema, hematoma volume, and hemoglobin content compared to the sham group. Compared with the sham operation group, the activation of microglia and neuronal death in ICH 160 µL rats increased. The use of H&E staining and western blotting demonstrated that disruption of the intra-alveolar structure, alveolar edema, and infiltration of inflammatory cells and cytokines into the lung tissue were more severe in the ICH 160 µL group than the sham group. Conclusions A severe ICH model in rats was successfully established using an injection of autologous blood at a volume of 160 µL. This model may provide a valuable tool to examine the pathological mechanisms and potential therapeutic interventions of severe ICH.

Abstract
PURPOSE Our aims were to investigate the presence of choroid plexus (CP) inflammation in chronic-phase intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) patients and to characterize any inflammatory cells in the CP. PATIENTS AND METHODS An in vivo 18 F-DPA714 PET study was undertaken in 22 chronic-phase ICH patients who were admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University or Tianjin Medical University General Hospital from April 2017 to June 2020. Ten control participants with nonhemorrhagic central nervous system diseases were included. Choroid plexus 18 F-DPA714 uptake was calculated as the average SUVR. To aid the interpretation of the 18 F-DPA714 uptake results at the CP level, Cy5-DPA714 in vivo imaging and immunofluorescence staining were used to show the presence of CP inflammation in an ICH mouse model during the chronic phase (14 weeks after ICH). Then immunofluorescence staining against translocator protein and other specific biomarkers was used to characterize the cells present in the inflamed CP of ICH mice in the chronic phase. RESULTS PET imaging showed that CP DPA714 SUVRs in chronic-phase ICH patients were higher than in controls (mean CP SUVR ± SD; ICH group: 1.05 ± 0.35; control group: 0.81 ± 0.21; P = 0.006). Immunofluorescence staining of the CP in ICH model mice identified a population of CD45 + immune cells, peripheral monocyte-derived CD14 + cells, CD68 + phagocytes, and CD11b + resident microglia/macrophages expressing translocator protein, possibly contributing to the increased 18 F-DPA714 uptake. CONCLUSIONS Our study shows that CP DPA714 uptake in chronic-phase ICH patients was higher than that of participants with nonhemorrhagic central nervous system diseases, which means that CP inflammation is still active in chronic-phase ICH patients.

Abstract
Intracerebral hemorrhage is primarily a disease of the elderly and it is frequently accompanied by intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) which can lead to posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus and poor prognosis. Red blood cell iron has been implicated in brain injury after cerebral hemorrhage. The current study examined using T2* magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to detect periventricular iron deposition after IVH and investigated the effects of minocycline on hydrocephalus in an aged rat IVH model. It had three parts. In part 1, male aged rats received a 200 μl injection of saline or autologous blood into the lateral ventricle and were euthanized at day 14. In parts 2 and 3, aged IVH rats were treated with vehicle or minocycline and euthanized at day 7 or 14. Rats underwent MRI to quantify hydrocephalus and iron deposition followed by brain histology and immunohistochemistry. Periventricular iron overload was found after IVH using T2* MRI and confirmed by histology. IVH also caused ventricular wall damage and increased the number of CD68(+) choroid plexus epiplexus cells. Minocycline administration reduced iron deposition and ventricular volume at days 7 and 14 after IVH, as well as ventricle wall damage and epiplexus cell activation. In summary, IVH-induced hydrocephalus is associated with periventricular iron deposition, ependymal damage and choroid plexus epiplexus cell activation in aged rats. Minocycline attenuated those effects and might be a potential treatment for posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus in the elderly.

Abstract
Both monocyte-derived macrophages (MDMs) and brain resident microglia participate in hematoma resolution after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Here, we utilized a transgenic mouse line with enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) labeled microglia (Tmem119-EGFP mice) combined with a F4/80 immunohistochemistry (a pan-macrophage marker) to visualize changes in MDMs and microglia after ICH. A murine model of ICH was used in which autologous blood was stereotactically injected into the right basal ganglia. The autologous blood was co-injected with CD47 blocking antibodies to enhance phagocytosis or clodronate liposomes for phagocyte depletion. In addition, Tmem119-EGFP mice were injected with the blood components peroxiredoxin 2 (Prx2) or thrombin. MDMs entered the brain and formed a peri-hematoma cell layer by day 3 after ICH and giant phagocytes engulfed red blood cells were found. CD47 blocking antibody increased the number of MDMs around and inside the hematoma and extended MDM phagocytic activity to day 7. Both MDMs and microglia could be diminished by clodronate liposomes. Intracerebral injection of Prx2 but not thrombin attracted MDMs into brain parenchyma. In conclusion, MDMs play an important role in phagocytosis after ICH which can be enhanced by CD47 blocking antibody, suggesting the modulation of MDMs after ICH could be a future therapeutic target.

Abstract
Stroke, including ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke, causes massive cell death in the brain, which is followed by secondary inflammatory injury initiated by disease-associated molecular patterns released from dead cells. Phagocytosis, a cellular process of engulfment and digestion of dead cells, promotes the resolution of inflammation and repair following stroke. However, professional or non-professional phagocytes also phagocytose stressed but viable cells in the brain or excessively phagocytose myelin sheaths or prune synapses, consequently exacerbating brain injury and impairing repair following stroke. Phagocytosis includes the smell, eating and digestion phases. Notably, efficient phagocytosis critically depends on phagocyte capacity to take up dead cells continually due to the limited number of phagocytes vs. dead cells after injury. Moreover, phenotypic polarization of phagocytes occurring after phagocytosis is also essential to the proresolving and prorepair properties of phagocytosis. Much has been learned about the molecular signals and regulatory mechanisms governing the sense and recognition of dead cells by phagocytes during the smell and eating phase following stroke. However, some key areas remain extremely understudied, including the mechanisms involved in digestion regulation, continual phagocytosis and phagocytosis-induced phenotypic switching following stroke. Here, we summarize new discoveries related to the molecular mechanisms and multifaceted effects of phagocytosis on brain injury and repair following stroke and highlight the knowledge gaps in poststroke phagocytosis. We suggest that advancing the understanding of poststroke phagocytosis will help identify more biological targets for stroke treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Microglia are important brain immune cells. However, it is difficult to differentiate microglia from monocyte-derived macrophages. To visualize microglia changes following intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), we utilized a genetic knock-in mouse line, Tmem119 (transmembrane protein 119)-EGFP (enhanced green fluorescent protein), which expresses EGFP specifically in microglia. METHODS There were 2 parts in this study. First, autologous blood was injected into the right basal ganglia to model ICH in Tmem119-EGFP mice. Mice were euthanized at 4 hours, days 1, 3, and 7 after ICH. Sham animals were used as controls. Second, Tmem119-EGFP mice were injected with iron or thrombin, factors involved in ICH-induced injury, and were euthanized at 4 hours. Naïve mice were controls. Brains were harvested for histology. RESULTS The number of perihematomal microglia significantly decreased 1 day after ICH, but markedly increased by days 3 and 7. Microglia death was also induced by intracerebral iron injection while microglia proliferation was found with intracerebral thrombin injection. CONCLUSIONS Perihematomal microglia death and proliferation after ICH are visualized in vivo with a Tmem119-EGFP transgenic mouse line. Iron and thrombin may contribute to ICH-induced microglia death and proliferation, respectively.

Abstract
After a cerebral hemorrhage (intracerebral, subarachnoid, and intraventricular), extravasated blood contributes to both initial brain injury, via physical disruption and mass effect, and secondary injury, through the release of potentially neurotoxic and pro-inflammatory factors such as hemoglobin, iron, and peroxiredoxin-2. Erythrocytes are a major blood component and are a source of such damaging factors. Erythrolysis after cerebral hemorrhage releases potential neurotoxins, contributing to brain injury and edema. Alternatively, erythrocyte phagocytosis via microglia or macrophages may limit the spill of neurotoxins therefore limiting subsequent brain injury. The aim of this review is to discuss the process of phagocytosis of erythrocytes by microglia or macrophages after cerebral hemorrhage, the effect of erythrolysis on brain injury, novel mechanisms of erythrocyte and phagocyte egress from the brain, and exciting new targets in this pathway to attenuate brain injury. Understanding the fate of erythrocytes after cerebral hemorrhage may uncover additional potential interventions for clinical translational research.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) is a subtype of stroke which has high mortality and morbidity, while comprehensive mechanism investigations and effective therapies are still in great need. Plenty of studies have shown that inflammation after stroke plays a critical role in disease outcomes. However, the inflammation after IVH remains unclear. This study aims to observe the immune response after IVH, thus providing therapeutic targets for IVH treatments. MATERIALS AND METHODS IVH was induced by autologous blood infusion model in SD rats. Totally 588 rats were assigned either in the sham or IVH group. T2* lesion and hemoglobin quantities, ventricular volume, brain edema, ventricular wall damage, blood-brain-barrier (BBB) continuity and immune response were observed by magnetic resonance image (MRI), hematoxylin-eosin staining (HE), Evans Blue, flow cytometry (FACS), and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) at baseline, 6 h, 1 d, 3 d, 7 d, 14 d after surgery. RESULTS We found that ventricular volume enlargement occurred hours after IVH and peaked at 3 d after IVH, then mildly reduced till 14 d. Similar changes happened in brain edema, ventricular wall damage and BBB leakage. Immune cells and cytokines in the central nervous system and peripheral blood also increased after IVH and experienced similar trends as ventricular enlargement. T2* lesion and hemoglobin degradation occurred 6 h after IVH and kept decreasing till 14 d after IVH. CONCLUSIONS Our investigation illustrates that immune response exists after IVH, which may have a close relationship with disease outcomes. These results may provide promising immune related clues for mechanism and intervention studies in IVH.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus (PHH) often develops following hemorrhagic events such as intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) and subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Treatment is limited to surgical diversion of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) since no efficient pharmacological therapies are available. This limitation follows from our incomplete knowledge of the molecular mechanisms underlying the ventriculomegaly characteristic of PHH. Here, we aimed to elucidate the molecular coupling between a hemorrhagic event and the subsequent PHH development, and reveal the inflammatory profile of the PHH pathogenesis. METHODS CSF obtained from patients with SAH was analyzed for inflammatory markers using the proximity extension assay (PEA) technique. We employed an in vivo rat model of IVH to determine ventricular size, brain water content, intracranial pressure, and CSF secretion rate, as well as for transcriptomic analysis. Ex vivo radio-isotope assays of choroid plexus transport were employed to determine the direct effect of choroidal exposure to blood and inflammatory markers, both with acutely isolated choroid plexus and after prolonged exposure obtained with viable choroid plexus kept in tissue culture conditions. RESULTS The rat model of IVH demonstrated PHH and associated CSF hypersecretion. The Na+/K+-ATPase activity was enhanced in choroid plexus isolated from IVH rats, but not directly stimulated by blood components. Inflammatory markers that were elevated in SAH patient CSF acted on immune receptors upregulated in IVH rat choroid plexus and caused Na+/K+/2Cl- cotransporter 1 (NKCC1) hyperactivity in ex vivo experimental conditions. CONCLUSIONS CSF hypersecretion may contribute to PHH development, likely due to hyperactivity of choroid plexus transporters. The hemorrhage-induced inflammation detected in CSF and in the choroid plexus tissue may represent the underlying pathology. Therapeutic targeting of such pathways may be employed in future treatment strategies towards PHH patients.

Metformin Preserves VE–Cadherin in Choroid Plexus and Attenuates Hydrocephalus via VEGF/VEGFR2/p-Src in an Intraventricular Hemorrhage Rat Model. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23158552. [PMID: 35955686 PMCID: PMC9369137 DOI: 10.3390/ijms23158552] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/23/2022] [Revised: 07/26/2022] [Accepted: 07/29/2022] [Indexed: 02/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Hydrocephalus induced by intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) is associated with unfavorable prognosis. The increased permeability of choroid plexus and breakdown of the blood–brain barrier (BBB) was reported as a prominent mechanism of IVH-induced hydrocephalus, and vascular endothelial–cadherin (VE–cadherin) was demonstrated to be relevant. Metformin was reported to protect endothelial junction and preserve permeability widely; however, its role in hydrocephalus remains unclear. In this study, the decreased expression of VE–cadherin in the choroid plexus, accompanied with ventricle dilation, was investigated in an IVH rat model induced by intraventricular injection of autologous blood. Metformin treatment ameliorated hydrocephalus and upregulated VE–cadherin expression in choroid plexus meanwhile. We then observed that the internalization of VE–cadherin caused by the activation of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) signaling after IVH was related to the occurrence of hydrocephalus, whereas it can be reversed by metformin treatment. Restraining VEGF signaling by antagonizing VEGFR2 or inhibiting Src phosphorylation increased the expression of VE–cadherin and decreased the severity of hydrocephalus after IVH. Our study demonstrated that the internalization of VE–cadherin via the activation of VEGF signaling may contribute to IVH-induced hydrocephalus, and metformin may be a potential protector via suppressing this pathway.

Abstract
Intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in both neonatal and adult populations. IVH not only causes immediate damage to surrounding structures by way of mass effect and elevated intracranial pressure; the subsequent inflammation causes additional brain injury and edema. Of those neonates who experience severe IVH, 25-30% will go on to develop post-hemorrhagic hydrocephalus (PHH). PHH places neonates and adults at risk for white matter injury, seizures, and death. Unfortunately, the molecular determinants of PHH are not well understood. Within the past decade an emphasis has been placed on neuroinflammation in IVH and PHH. More information has come to light regarding inflammation-induced fibrosis and cerebrospinal fluid hypersecretion in response to IVH. The aim of this review is to discuss the role of neuroinflammation involving clot-derived neuroinflammatory factors including hemoglobin/iron, peroxiredoxin-2 and thrombin, as well as macrophages/microglia, cytokines and complement in the development of PHH. Understanding the mechanisms of neuroinflammation after IVH may highlight potential novel therapeutic targets for PHH.

Application Effect of Whole-Process Seamless Nursing Model Based on Smart Healthcare Mode in Perioperative Period of Patients Undergoing Hematoma Removal. JOURNAL OF HEALTHCARE ENGINEERING 2022; 2022:1323678. [PMID: 35251559 PMCID: PMC8890834 DOI: 10.1155/2022/1323678] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/04/2022] [Revised: 01/17/2022] [Accepted: 01/26/2022] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
Objective To explore the application effect of a whole-process seamless nursing model based on the smart healthcare mode in the perioperative period of patients undergoing hematoma removal. Methods In this retrospective study, 50 patients with hematoma removal admitted to our hospital from August 2018 to August 2019 were included as the control group (CG), while 50 patients with hematoma removal admitted to our hospital from September 2019 to September 2020 were included as the experimental group (EG). During the period of hematoma removal, CG received routine perioperative nursing, while EG received the whole-process seamless nursing model based on the smart healthcare mode. The perioperative indexes, hemodynamic indexes, and the incidence of postoperative complications were compared between the two groups, and the incidence of nursing staff's work omissions in different periods was analyzed. Results Notable differences were observed in surgical time, intraoperative blood loss, hematoma clearance rates, length of ICU stay, hospitalization time, removal time of ventricular drainage tube, and cerebral edema volume at 1 week after surgery between EG and CG (P < 0.05). Compared with CG, EG achieved obviously better hemodynamic indexes (P < 0.001) and a lower incidence of bedsore, muscle atrophy, and eating/swallowing disorders (P < 0.05). During the implementation of smart healthcare, the incidence of nursing staff's work omissions was remarkably reduced (P < 0.05). Conclusion Under the smart healthcare, the incidence of nursing staff's work omissions is lower, and the effect of the whole-process seamless nursing is better, which can optimize the perioperative indexes of patients, stabilize the postoperative hemodynamics, and reduce the incidence of complications. Therefore, the whole-process seamless nursing model based on the smart healthcare mode has promotion value in clinic.

Abstract
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) features extremely high rates of morbidity and mortality, with no specific and effective therapy. And local inflammation caused by the over-activated immune cells seriously damages the recovery of neurological function after ICH. Fortunately, immune intervention to microglia has provided new methods and ideas for ICH treatment. Microglia, as the resident immune cells in the brain, play vital roles in both tissue damage and repair processes after ICH. The perihematomal activated microglia not only arouse acute inflammatory responses, oxidative stress, excitotoxicity, and cytotoxicity to cause neuron death, but also show another phenotype that inhibit inflammation, clear hematoma and promote tissue regeneration. The proportion of microglia phenotypes determines the progression of brain tissue damage or repair after ICH. Therefore, microglia may be a promising and imperative therapeutic target for ICH. In this review, we discuss the dual functions of microglia in the brain after an ICH from immunological perspective, elaborate on the activation mechanism of perihematomal microglia, and summarize related therapeutic drugs researches.

Abstract
Chondroitin sulfate (CS) is the most abundant and widely distributed glycosaminoglycan (GAG) in the human body. As a component of proteoglycans (PGs) it has numerous roles in matrix stabilization and cellular regulation. This chapter highlights the roles of CS and CS-PGs in the central and peripheral nervous systems (CNS/PNS). CS has specific cell regulatory roles that control tissue function and homeostasis. The CNS/PNS contains a diverse range of CS-PGs which direct the development of embryonic neural axonal networks, and the responses of neural cell populations in mature tissues to traumatic injury. Following brain trauma and spinal cord injury, a stabilizing CS-PG-rich scar tissue is laid down at the defect site to protect neural tissues, which are amongst the softest tissues of the human body. Unfortunately, the CS concentrated in gliotic scars also inhibits neural outgrowth and functional recovery. CS has well known inhibitory properties over neural behavior, and animal models of CNS/PNS injury have demonstrated that selective degradation of CS using chondroitinase improves neuronal functional recovery. CS-PGs are present diffusely in the CNS but also form denser regions of extracellular matrix termed perineuronal nets which surround neurons. Hyaluronan is immobilized in hyalectan CS-PG aggregates in these perineural structures, which provide neural protection, synapse, and neural plasticity, and have roles in memory and cognitive learning. Despite the generally inhibitory cues delivered by CS-A and CS-C, some CS-PGs containing highly charged CS disaccharides (CS-D, CS-E) or dermatan sulfate (DS) disaccharides that promote neural outgrowth and functional recovery. CS/DS thus has varied cell regulatory properties and structural ECM supportive roles in the CNS/PNS depending on the glycoform present and its location in tissue niches and specific cellular contexts. Studies on the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster and the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans have provided insightful information on neural interconnectivity and the role of the ECM and its PGs in neural development and in tissue morphogenesis in a whole organism environment.
