Identification of key genes and immune infiltration in peripheral blood biomarker analysis of delayed cerebral ischemia: Valproic acid as a potential therapeutic drug. Int Immunopharmacol 2024; 137:112408. [PMID: 38897129 DOI: 10.1016/j.intimp.2024.112408] [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: 03/28/2024] [Revised: 05/29/2024] [Accepted: 06/02/2024] [Indexed: 06/21/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) is a common and serious complication of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Its pathogenesis is not fully understood. Here, we developed a predictive model based on peripheral blood biomarkers and validated the model using several bioinformatic multi-analysis methods. METHODS Six datasets were obtained from the GEO database. Characteristic genes were screened using weighted correlation network analysis (WGCNA) and differentially expressed genes. Three machine learning algorithms, elastic networks-LASSO, support vector machines (SVM-RFE) and random forests (RF), were also used to construct diagnostic prediction models for key genes. To further evaluate the performance and predictive value of the diagnostic models, nomogram model were constructed, and the clinical value of the models was assessed using Decision Curve Analysis (DCA), Area Under the Check Curve (AUC), Clinical Impact Curve (CIC), and validated in the mouse single-cell RNA-seq dataset. Mendelian randomization(MR) analysis explored the causal relationship between SAH and stroke, and the intermediate influencing factors. We validated this by retrospectively analyzing the qPCR levels of the most relevant genes in SAH and SAH-DCI patients. This experiment demonstrated a statistically significant difference between SAH and SAH-DCI and normal group controls. Finally, potential small molecule compounds interacting with the selected features were screened from the Comparative Toxicogenomics Database (CTD). RESULTS The fGSEA results showed that activation of Toll-like receptor signaling and leukocyte transendothelial cell migration pathways were positively correlated with the DCI phenotype, whereas cytokine signaling pathways and natural killer cell-mediated cytotoxicity were negatively correlated. Consensus feature selection of DEG genes using WGCNA and three machine learning algorithms resulted in the identification of six genes (SPOCK2, TRRAP, CIB1, BCL11B, PDZD8 and LAT), which were used to predict DCI diagnosis with high accuracy. Three external datasets and the mouse single-cell dataset showed high accuracy of the diagnostic model, in addition to high performance and predictive value of the diagnostic model in DCA and CIC. MR analysis looked at stroke after SAH independent of SAH, but associated with multiple intermediate factors including Hypertensive diseases, Total triglycerides levels in medium HDL and Platelet count. qPCR confirmed that significant differences in DCI signature genes were observed between the SAH and SAH-DCI groups. Finally, valproic acid became a potential therapeutic agent for DCI based on the results of target prediction and molecular docking of the characterized genes. CONCLUSION This diagnostic model can identify SAH patients at high risk for DCI and may provide potential mechanisms and therapeutic targets for DCI. Valproic acid may be an important future drug for the treatment of DCI.

Risk Factors for Cerebral Vasospasm After Subarachnoid Hemorrhage: A Systematic Review of Observational Studies. Neurocrit Care 2024:10.1007/s12028-024-02059-2. [PMID: 39048760 DOI: 10.1007/s12028-024-02059-2] [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: 01/11/2024] [Accepted: 06/25/2024] [Indexed: 07/27/2024]
Abstract
Cerebral vasospasm (CV) following subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) remains one of the leading causes of high mortality and poor outcomes. Understanding the risk factors associated with CV is pivotal to improving patients' outcomes. We conducted an extensive search for analytical observational studies that analyzed the correlation between various variables and the likelihood of CV development among adult patients with SAH (age ≥ 18 years). Five scholar databases were used, namely, PubMed, EBSCO, Web of Science, Science Direct, and Google Scholar. Relevant studies published between January 1st, 2016, and August 9th, 2023, were included. The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale was adopted to assess the risk of bias among included observational studies. A total of 33 studies met the inclusion criteria. Of the 24,958 patients with SAH who were identified, 6,761 patients had a subsequent CV (27.1%). Several statistically significant risk factors were reported across the literature. Younger age, female sex, smoking, alcohol intake, modified Fisher grade 3-4, higher Hunt and Hess grading, and the presence of multiple comorbidities (diabetes, hypertension, congestive heart failure, and history of stroke) were among the well-established risk factors for CV. Additionally, leukocytosis was consistently reported to be a significant predictor in multiple studies, providing compelling evidence for its association with CV. Even though single studies reported an association between CV and certain variables, further research is necessary to investigate the implications of these findings. These include arterial tortuosity, hypokalemia, potassium to glucose gradient, hypoalbuminemia, anemia, von Willebrand factor and vascular endothelial growth factor, use of desflurane, and hemodynamic stability. Overall, this systemic review provides a comprehensive summary of the current data that evaluates the potential risk factors for the development of CV after SAH. However, because of data heterogeneity, certain factors require further validation in their correlation with CV development. Larger-scale observational and clinical trials are mandatory to extensively investigate the significant predictors of CV to lay the scientific foundation for improving outcomes in susceptible patients with SAH.

Abstract
Peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) is a complex manifestation of abdominal cancers, with a poor prognosis and limited treatment options. Recent work identifying high concentrations of the cytokine interleukin-6 (IL-6) and its soluble receptor (sIL-6-Rα) in the peritoneal cavity of patients with PC has highlighted this pathway as an emerging potential therapeutic target. This review article provides a comprehensive overview of the current understanding of the potential role of IL-6 in the development and progression of PC. We discuss mechansims by which the IL-6 pathway may contribute to peritoneal tumor dissemination, mesothelial adhesion and invasion, stromal invasion and proliferation, and immune response modulation. Finally, we review the prospects for targeting the IL-6 pathway in the treatment of PC, focusing on common sites of origin, including ovarian, gastric, pancreatic, colorectal and appendiceal cancer, and mesothelioma.

Abstract
Vasospasm is a potentially preventable cause of poor prognosis in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). Epigenetics might provide insight on its molecular mechanisms. We aimed to analyze the association between differential DNA methylation (DNAm) and development of vasospasm. We conducted an epigenome-wide association study in 282 patients with aSAH admitted to our hospital. DNAm was assessed with the EPIC Illumina chip (> 850 K CpG sites) in whole-blood samples collected at hospital admission. We identified differentially methylated positions (DMPs) at the CpG level using Cox regression models adjusted for potential confounders, and then we used the DMP results to find differentially methylated regions (DMRs) and enriched biological pathways. A total of 145 patients (51%) experienced vasospasm. In the DMP analysis, we identified 31 CpGs associated with vasospasm at p-value < 10-5. One of them (cg26189827) was significant at the genome-wide level (p-value < 10-8), being hypermethylated in patients with vasospasm and annotated to SUGCT gene, mainly expressed in arteries. Region analysis revealed 13 DMRs, some of them annotated to interesting genes such as POU5F1, HLA-DPA1, RUFY1, and CYP1A1. Functional enrichment analysis showed the involvement of biological processes related to immunity, inflammatory response, oxidative stress, endothelial nitric oxide, and apoptosis. Our findings show, for the first time, a distinctive epigenetic signature of vasospasm in aSAH, establishing novel links with essential biological pathways, including inflammation, immune responses, and oxidative stress. Although further validation is required, our results provide a foundation for future research into the complex pathophysiology of vasospasm.

Abstract
PURPOSE Delayed Cerebral Ischaemia (DCI) remains an important preventable driver of poor outcome in aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage (aSAH). Our ability to predict DCI is based on historical patient cohorts, which use inconsistent definitions for DCI. In 2010, a definition of DCI was agreed upon and published by a group of aSAH experts. The aim of this study was to identify predictors using this agreed definition of DCI. METHODS We conducted a literature search of Medline (PubMed) to identify articles published since the publication of the 2010 consensus definition. Risk factors and prediction models for DCI were included if they: (1) adjusted for confounding factors or were derived from randomised trials, (2) were derived from prospectively collected data and (3) included adults with aSAH. The strength of studies was assessed based on quality, risk of bias and applicability of studies using PROBAST. RESULTS Eight studies totalling 4,542 patients were included from 105 relevant articles from 4,982 records. The most common reason for not including studies was failure to use the consensus definition of DCI (75%). No prediction models were identified in the eligible studies. Significant risk factors for DCI included the presence of onsite neuro-interventional services, high Neuropeptide Y, admission leucocytosis, neutrophil:lymphocyte >5.9 and Fisher Grade > 2. All studies had a high or unclear risk of bias. CONCLUSIONS Only a few studies with high risk of bias have investigated the predictors using consensus-defined DCI. Further studies are warranted to clarify risk factors of DCI in the modern era.

Abstract
Intracranial aneurysm (IA) counts are increasing yearly, with a high mortality and disability after rupture. Current diagnosis and treatment rely on costly equipment, lacking effective indicators for progression prediction and specific drugs for treatment. Recently, peripheral blood biomarkers, as common clinical test samples, reflecting the immune and inflammatory state of the body in real-time, have shown promise in providing additional information for risk stratification and treatment in IA patients, which may improve their outcomes after aneurysm rupture through anti-inflammatory therapy. Therefore, this paper reviewed the progress of potential biomarkers of IAs, including inflammatory blood indicators, cytokines, and blood lipids, aiming to aid individual management and therapy of aneurysms in clinical practices.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Aneurismal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a type of hemorrhagic stroke that, despite improvement through therapeutic interventions, remains a devastating cerebrovascular disorder that has a high mortality rate and causes long-term disability. Cerebral inflammation after SAH is promoted through microglial accumulation and phagocytosis. Furthermore, proinflammatory cytokine release and neuronal cell death play key roles in the development of brain injury. The termination of these inflammation processes and restoration of tissue homeostasis are of utmost importance regarding the possible chronicity of cerebral inflammation and the improvement of the clinical outcome for affected patients post SAH. Thus, we evaluated the inflammatory resolution phase post SAH and considered indications for potential tertiary brain damage in cases of incomplete resolution. METHODS Subarachnoid hemorrhage was induced through endovascular filament perforation in mice. Animals were killed 1, 7 and 14 days and 1, 2 and 3 months after SAH. Brain cryosections were immunolabeled for ionized calcium-binding adaptor molecule-1 to detect microglia/macrophages. Neuronal nuclei and terminal deoxyuridine triphosphate-nick end labeling staining was used to visualize secondary cell death of neurons. The gene expression of various proinflammatory mediators in brain samples was analyzed by quantitative polymerase chain reaction. RESULTS We observed restored tissue homeostasis due to decreased microglial/macrophage accumulation and neuronal cell death 1 month after insult. However, the messenger RNA expression levels of interleukin 6 and tumor necrosis factor α were still elevated at 1 and 2 months post SAH, respectively. The gene expression of interleukin 1β reached its maximum on day 1, whereas at later time points, no significant differences between the groups were detected. CONCLUSIONS By the herein presented molecular and histological data we provide an important indication for an incomplete resolution of inflammation within the brain parenchyma after SAH. Inflammatory resolution and the return to tissue homeostasis represent an important contribution to the disease's pathology influencing the impact on brain damage and outcome after SAH. Therefore, we consider a novel complementary or even superior therapeutic approach that should be carefully rethought in the management of cerebral inflammation after SAH. An acceleration of the resolution phase at the cellular and molecular levels could be a potential aim in this context.

The Prognostic Value of Eryptosis Parameters in the Cerebrospinal Fluid for Cerebral Vasospasm and Delayed Cerebral Ischemia Formation. World Neurosurg 2023; 173:e578-e585. [PMID: 36842532 DOI: 10.1016/j.wneu.2023.02.096] [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: 11/15/2022] [Revised: 02/19/2023] [Accepted: 02/20/2023] [Indexed: 02/26/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) and cerebral vasospasm (VS.) contribute to poor outcomes in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). The pathophysiology of DCI is not fully understood, and this has hindered the adoption of a uniform definition. Reliable diagnostic tests and effective evidence-based treatment are lacking. This study explored the possibility of using eryptosis parameters in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) as a marker for early detection of VS and DCI. METHODS Twenty-one SAH patients were recruited and treated at Kharkiv Regional Hospital. The occurrences of DCI and VS were also recorded. Flow cytometry was used to assess eryptosis indices in the CSF by analyzing phosphatidylserine externalization in erythrocytes using annexin V staining and evaluating reactive oxygen species generation using 2,7-dichlorodihydrofluorescein (DCF) diacetate staining. RESULTS The percentage of annexin-positive red blood cells (RBCs) in the VS group was significantly higher than that in the non-VS group (P = 0.0017). Furthermore, higher values of this index were significantly associated with DCI formation (P < 0.0001). Patients with VS had higher mean fluorescence intensity values of DCF in RBCs compared to patients without VS (P = 0.0258). Patients with DCI also had higher mean fluorescence intensity values of DCF in RBCs (P = 0.0282). A higher percentage of annexin-positive RBCs following 3 days of aSAH was correlated with poor 3-month neurological outcomes (r = 0.7). CONCLUSIONS Our findings indicate a strong correlation between eryptosis level and DCI in a sizable series of patients with aSAH. Correlations between eryptosis indicators in the CSF and clinical and radiological manifestations suggest that eryptosis parameters are promising diagnostic biomarkers for DCI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chemokines are small cytokines that exert chemotactic actions on immune cells and are involved in many inflammatory processes. The present study aims to provide insight in the role of this relatively unexplored family of proteins in the inflammatory pathophysiology of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). MATERIALS AND METHODS Cerebrospinal fluid of 29 patients (17 female; mean age 57 years) was collected at days 1, 4 and 10 after SAH, centrifuged and frozen at -70°C. Analysis of 92 inflammation-related proteins was performed using Target 96 Inflammation ® assay (Olink Proteomics, Uppsala, Sweden) based on Proximity Extension Assay technology. The panel included 20 chemokines (CCL2 (or MCP-1), CCL3, CCL4, CCL7 (or MCP-3), CCL8 (or MCP-2), CCL11 (or Eotaxin), CCL13 (or MCP-4), CCL19, CCL20, CCL23, CCL25, CCL28, CXCL1, CXCL5, CXCL6, CXCL8 (or IL-8), CXCL9, CXCL10, CXCL11 and CX3CL1 (or Fractalkine)) that were analyzed for their temporal patterns of expression and compared in dichotomized clinical groups based on World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies (WFNS) admission score and amount of blood on admission CT based on Fisher scale; presence of delayed cerebral ischemia(DCI)/delayed ischemic neurological deficit (DIND); and clinical outcome based on Glasgow Outcome Scale. Protein expression levels were provided in output unit Normalized Protein Expression (NPX). ANOVA models were used for statistical analyses. RESULTS Four temporal patterns of expression were observed (i.e., early, middle, late peak and no peak). Significantly higher day 10 mean NPX values were observed in patients with poor outcome (GOS 1-3) for chemokines CCL2, CCL4, CCL7, CCL11, CCL13, CCL19, CCL20, CXCL1, CXCL5, CXCL6 and CXCL8. In the WFNS 4-5 group, CCL11 showed significantly higher day 4 and day 10 mean NPX values and CCL25 significantly higher day 4 values. In patients with SAH Fisher 4, CCL11 showed significantly higher mean NPX values on days 1, 4 and 10. Finally, patients with DCI/DIND had significantly higher day 4 mean NPX values of CXCL5. CONCLUSION Higher levels of multiple chemokines at the late stage of SAH seemed to correlate with worse clinical outcome. A few chemokines correlated with WFNS score, Fisher score and occurrence of DCI/DIND. Chemokines may be useful as biomarkers for describing the pathophysiology and prognosis of SAH. Further studies are needed to better understand their exact mechanism of action in the inflammatory cascade.

Abstract
Intracellular zinc accumulation has been shown to be associated with neuronal death after cerebral ischemia. However, the mechanism of zinc accumulation leading to neuronal death in ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) is still unclear. Intracellular zinc signals are required for the production of proinflammatory cytokines. The present study investigated whether intracellular accumulated zinc aggravates I/R injury through inflammatory response, and inflammation-mediated neuronal apoptosis. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were treated with vehicle or zinc chelator TPEN 15 mg/kg before a 90-min middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). The expressions of proinflammatory cytokines TNF-α, IL-6, NF-κB p65, and NF-κB inhibitory protein IκB-α, as well as anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 were assessed at 6 or 24 h after reperfusion. Our results demonstrated that the expression of TNF-α, IL-6, and NF-κB p65 increased after reperfusion, while the expression of IκB-α and IL-10 decreased, suggesting that cerebral ischemia triggers inflammatory response. Furthermore, TNF-α, NF-κB p65, and IL-10 were all colocalized with the neuron-specific nuclear protein (NeuN), suggesting that the ischemia-induced inflammatory response occurs in neurons. Moreover, TNF-α was also colocalized with the zinc-specific dyes Newport Green (NG), suggesting that intracellular accumulated zinc might be associated with neuronal inflammation following cerebral I/R. Chelating zinc with TPEN reversed the expression of TNF-α, NF-κB p65, IκB-α, IL-6, and IL-10 in ischemic rats. Besides, IL-6-positive cells were colocalized with TUNEL-positive cells in the ischemic penumbra of MCAO rats at 24 h after reperfusion, indicating that zinc accumulation following I/R might induce inflammation and inflammation-associated neuronal apoptosis. Taken together, this study demonstrates that excessive zinc activates inflammation and that the brain injury caused by zinc accumulation is at least partially due to specific neuronal apoptosis induced by inflammation, which may provide an important mechanism of cerebral I/R injury.

Henry N, Fraser JF, Chappell J, Langley T, Roberts JM. Cannabidiol’s Multifactorial Mechanisms Has Therapeutic Potential for Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage: a Review. Transl Stroke Res 2022; 14:283-296. [PMID: 36109476 PMCID: PMC10160197 DOI: 10.1007/s12975-022-01080-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/22/2022] [Revised: 08/08/2022] [Accepted: 09/05/2022] [Indexed: 10/14/2022]
Abstract
AbstractSubarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a major health burden that accounts for approximately 5% of all strokes. The most common cause of a non-traumatic SAH is the rupture of a cerebral aneurysm. The most common symptom associated with SAH is a headache, often described as “the worst headache of my life.” Delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) is a major factor associated with patient mortality following SAH and is often associated with SAH-induced cerebral vasospasm (CV). Cannabidiol (CBD) is emerging as a potential drug for many therapeutic purposes, including epilepsy, anxiety, and pain relief. We aim to review the potential use of CBD as a treatment option for post-SAH critically ill patients. Through a literature review, we evaluated the known pharmacology and physiological effects of CBD and correlated those with the pathophysiological outcomes associated with cerebral vasospasm following subarachnoid hemorrhage. Although overlap exists, data were formatted into three major categories: anti-inflammatory, vascular, and neuroprotective effects. Based on the amount of information known about the actions of CBD, we hypothesize the anti-inflammatory effects are likely to be the most promising therapeutic mechanism. However, its cardiovascular effects through calcium regulation and its neuroprotective effects against cell death, excitotoxicity, and oxidative stress are all plausible mechanisms by which post-SAH critically ill patients may benefit from both early and late intervention with CBD. More research is needed to better understand if and how CBD might affect neurological and vascular functions in the brain following injury such as subarachnoid hemorrhage.

Leukocytosis and C-Reactive Protein May Predict Development of Secondary Cerebral Vasospasm in Patients with Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage. Medicina (B Aires) 2022; 58:medicina58020323. [PMID: 35208646 PMCID: PMC8880412 DOI: 10.3390/medicina58020323] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/22/2022] [Revised: 02/12/2022] [Accepted: 02/17/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Background and Objectives: Secondary cerebral vasospasm (CV) with subsequent delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) remains an unpredictable pathology. The aim of this retrospective study was to investigate the association between inflammatory parameters, white blood cell (WBC) count, and C-reactive protein plasma levels (CRP) and the occurrence of secondary CV in patients with aSAH. Materials and Methods: The medical records of 201 Intensive Care Unit patients in Riga East University Hospital with aSAH were retrospectively reviewed in a 24-month period. WBC count and CRP values were observed at admission to the hospital and on the third day. According to the inclusion criteria, 117 (48 males) participants were enrolled for further analysis, with average age of 56 ± 15 years (mean ± SD). In total, secondary CV was diagnosed in 21.4% of cases, and DCI in 22.4% of cases. The patients were classified into three groups: SAH-CV group (n = 25), SAH-DCI group (n = 12), and SAH or control group (n = 80), for comparative analysis. Results: We found that SAH-CV patients demonstrated notably higher inflammatory parameters compared to controls: WBC 13.2 ± 3.3 × 109/L vs. 11.2 ± 3.7 × 109/L; p = 0.01 and CRP median 9.3 mg/L vs. 1.9 mg/L; p < 0.001, respectively. We found that the odds of developing CV increased by 5% for each CRP increase of 1 mg/L at admission (OR, 1.05; CI, 1.014–1.087; p = 0.006). Concomitantly, the odds increased by 16% for every rise in WBC count of 1 × 109/L (OR, 1.16; CI, 1.02–1.32; p = 0.02). WBC count was associated with the occurrence of CV with 96% sensitivity and 40% specificity, with a cut off level of 10.015 × 109/L and AUC 0.683; p = 0.006. CRP displayed 54% sensitivity and 90% specificity with a cut off value of 8.9 mg/L and AUC 0.751; p < 0.001. Moreover, higher values of inflammatory parameters at admission correlated with a longer stay in ICU (r = 0.3, p = 0.002 for WBC count and r = 0.305, p = 0.002 for CRP values), and poor outcome (death) was significantly associated with higher CRP values at admission and on the third day (16.1. vs. 2.2. and 57.4. vs. 11.1, p < 0.001, respectively). Higher mortality was detected in SAH-CV patients (32%) compared to controls (6.3%; p < 0.001). Conclusions: Inflammatory parameters such as WBC count and CRP values at admission might be helpful to predict the development of secondary CV.

Abstract
Interleukin-10 (IL-10) is an important immunomodulatory cytokine, initially characterized as an anti-inflammatory agent released by immune cells during infectious and inflammatory processes. IL-10 exhibits biological functions that extend to the regulation of different intracellular signaling pathways directly associated with vascular function. This cytokine plays a vital role in vascular tone regulation through the change of important proteins involved in vasoconstriction and vasodilation. Numerous investigations covered here have shown that therapeutic strategies inducing IL-10 result in anti-inflammatory, anti-hypertrophic, antihyperplastic, anti-apoptotic and antihypertensive effects. This non-systematic review summarizes the modulating effects mediated by IL-10 in vascular tissue, particularly on vascular tone, and the intracellular pathway induced by this cytokine. We also highlight the advances in IL-10 manipulation as a therapeutic target in different cardiovascular pathophysiologies, including the physiological implications in animals and humans. Finally, the review illustrates current and potential future perspectives of the potential use of IL-10 in clinical trials, based on the clinical evidence.

Abstract
Subarachnoid hemorrhage is a devastating disease with significant mortality and morbidity, despite advances in treating cerebral aneurysms. There has been recent progress in the intensive care management and monitoring of patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage, but the results remain unsatisfactory. Microglia, the resident immune cells of the brain, are increasingly recognized as playing a significant role in neurological diseases, including subarachnoid hemorrhage. In early brain injury following subarachnoid hemorrhage, microglial activation and neuroinflammation have been implicated in the development of disease complications and recovery. To understand the disease processes following subarachnoid hemorrhage, it is important to focus on the modulators of microglial activation and the pro-inflammatory/anti-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines. In this review, we summarize research on the modulators of microglia-mediated inflammation in subarachnoid hemorrhage, including transcriptome changes and the neuroinflammatory signaling pathways. We also describe the latest developments in single-cell transcriptomics for microglia and summarize advances that have been made in the transcriptome-based classification of microglia and the implications for microglial activation and neuroinflammation.

Abstract
Delayed cerebral ischemia is a major predictor of poor outcomes in patients who suffer subarachnoid hemorrhage. Treatment options are limited and often ineffective despite many years of investigation and clinical trials. Modern advances in basic science have produced a much more complex, multifactorial framework in which delayed cerebral ischemia is better understood and novel treatments can be developed. Leveraging this knowledge to improve outcomes, however, depends on a holistic understanding of the disease process. We conducted a review of the literature to analyze the current state of investigation into delayed cerebral ischemia with emphasis on the major themes that have emerged over the past decades. Specifically, we discuss microcirculatory dysfunction, glymphatic impairment, inflammation, and neuroelectric disruption as pathological factors in addition to the canonical focus on cerebral vasospasm. This review intends to give clinicians and researchers a summary of the foundations of delayed cerebral ischemia pathophysiology while also underscoring the interactions and interdependencies between pathological factors. Through this overview, we also highlight the advances in translational studies and potential future therapeutic opportunities.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Multiple cytokines have been implicated in aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH), but tumor necrosis factor superfamily 14 (LIGHT/TNFSF14) and oncostatin-M (OSM) have not been previously explored. AIMS OF THE STUDY The primary objective of this study was to examine the relationship between TNFSF14 and OSM levels and survival. Our secondary goal was to investigate a potential association between these markers and the incidence of delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI). MATERIALS & METHODS We consecutively recruited 60 patients with a clinical diagnosis of aSAH. LIGHT/TNFSF14 and OSM serum concentrations were determined by ELISA. The primary endpoint was survival at Day 30, while development of DCI was assessed as secondary outcome. RESULTS Patients had significantly higher levels of both markers than the control group (median of LIGHT: 18.1 pg/ml vs. 7 pg/ml; p = 0.01; median of OSM: 10.3 pg/ml vs. 2.8 pg/ml, p < 0.001). Significantly lower serum level of LIGHT/TNFSF14 was found in nonsurviving patients (n = 9) compared with survivors (n = 51; p = 0.011). Based on ROC analysis, serum LIGHT/TNFSF14 with a cutoff value of >7.95 pg/ml predicted 30-day survival with a sensitivity of 71% and specificity of 78% (Area: 0.763; 95% CI: 0.604-0.921, p = 0.013). In addition, it was also a predictor of DCI with a sensitivity of 72.7% and a specificity of 62.5% (AUC: 0.702; 95% CI: 0.555-0.849, p = 0.018). Based on binary logistic regression analysis, LIGHT/TNFSF14 was found to be independently associated with 30-day mortality, but not with DCI. CONCLUSION In this cohort, a higher serum level of LIGHT/TNFSF14 was associated with increased survival of patients with aSAH.

Interleukin 6 and Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage. A Narrative Review. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms22084133. [PMID: 33923626 PMCID: PMC8073154 DOI: 10.3390/ijms22084133] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/14/2021] [Revised: 04/09/2021] [Accepted: 04/12/2021] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Interleukin 6 (IL-6) is a prominent proinflammatory cytokine. Neuroinflammation in general, and IL-6 signaling in particular, appear to play a major role in the pathobiology and pathophysiology of aneurysm formation and aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Most importantly, elevated IL-6 CSF (rather than serum) levels appear to correlate with delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI, “vasospasm”) and secondary (“vasospastic”) infarctions. IL-6 CSF levels may also reflect other forms of injury to the brain following SAH, i.e., early brain damage and septic complications of SAH and aneurysm treatment. This would explain why many researchers have found an association between IL-6 levels and patient outcomes. These findings clearly suggest CSF IL-6 as a candidate biomarker in SAH patients. However, at this point, discrepant findings in variable study settings, as well as timing and other issues, e.g., defining proper clinical endpoints (i.e., secondary clinical deterioration vs. angiographic vasospasm vs. secondary vasospastic infarct) do not allow for its routine use. It is also tempting to speculate about potential therapeutic measures targeting elevated IL-6 CSF levels and neuroinflammation in SAH patients. Corticosteroids and anti-platelet drugs are indeed used in many SAH cases (not necessarily with the intention to interfere with detrimental inflammatory signaling), however, no convincing benefit has been demonstrated yet. The lack of a robust clinical perspective against the background of a relatively large body of data linking IL-6 and neuroinflammation with the pathophysiology of SAH is somewhat disappointing. One underlying reason might be that most relevant studies only report correlative data. The specific molecular pathways behind elevated IL-6 levels in SAH patients and their various interactions still remain to be delineated. We are optimistic that future research in this field will result in a better understanding of the role of neuroinflammation in the pathophysiology of SAH, which in turn, will translate into the identification of suitable biomarkers and even potential therapeutic targets.

Abstract
Hemorrhagic stroke (HS) is a major cause of death and disability worldwide, despite being less common, it presents more aggressively and leads to more severe sequelae than ischemic stroke. There are two types of HS: Intracerebral Hemorrhage (ICH) and Subarachnoid Hemorrhage (SAH), differing not only in the site of bleeding, but also in the mechanisms responsible for acute and subacute symptoms. This is a systematic review of databases in search of works of the last five years relating to the comprehension of both kinds of HS. Sixty two articles composed the direct findings of the recent literature and were further characterized to construct the pathophysiology in the order of events. The road to the understanding of the spontaneous HS pathophysiology is far from complete. Our findings show specific and individual results relating to the natural history of the disease of ICH and SAH, presenting common and different risk factors, distinct and similar clinical manifestations at onset or later days to weeks, and possible complications for both.

Abstract
Objectives Recent reports suggest an association between the inflammatory response after aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage (aSAH) and patients' outcome. The primary aim of this study was to identify a potential association between the inflammatory response after aSAH and 1‐year outcome. The secondary aim was to investigate whether the inflammatory response after aSAH could predict the development of delayed cerebral ischaemia (DCI). Materials and methods This prospective observational pilot study included patients with an aSAH admitted to Sahlgrenska University Hospital, Gothenburg, Sweden, between May 2015 and October 2016. The patients were stratified according to the extended Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOSE) as having an unfavourable (score: 1–4) or favourable outcome (score: 5–8). Furthermore, patients were stratified depending on development of DCI or not. Patient data and blood samples were collected and analysed at admission and after 10 days. Results Elevated serum concentrations of inflammatory markers such as tumour necrosis factor‐α and interleukin (IL)‐6, IL‐1Ra, C‐reactive protein and intercellular adhesion molecule‐1 were detected in patients with unfavourable outcome. When adjustments for Glasgow coma scale were made, only IL‐1Ra remained significantly associated with poor outcome (p = 0.012). The inflammatory response after aSAH was not predictive of the development of DCI. Conclusion Elevated serum concentrations of inflammatory markers were associated with poor neurological outcome 1‐year after aSAH. However, inflammatory markers are affected by many clinical events, and when adjustments were made, only IL‐1Ra remained significantly associated with poor outcome. The robustness of these results needs to be tested in a larger trial.

Interleukin 6 in cerebrospinal fluid is a biomarker for delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) related infarctions after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. Sci Rep 2021; 11:12. [PMID: 33420113 PMCID: PMC7794326 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-79586-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 25] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/08/2020] [Accepted: 12/10/2020] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
Interleukin 6 (IL-6) is a prominent proinflammatory cytokine and has been discussed as a potential biomarker for delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) following aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. In the present study we have analyzed the time course of serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) IL-6 levels in 82 patients with severe aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) requiring external ventricular drains in correlation to angiographic vasospasm, delayed cerebral ischemia, secondary infarctions and other clinical parameters. We observed much higher daily mean IL-6 levels (but also large interindividual variations) in the CSF than the serum of the patients with a peak between days 4 and 14 including a maximum on day 5 after SAH. Individual CSF peak levels correlated significantly with DCI (mean day 4–14 peak, DCI: 26,291 ± 24,159 pg/ml vs. no DCI: 16,184 ± 13,163 pg/ml; P = 0.023). Importantly, CSF IL-6 levels differed significantly between cases with DCI and infarctions and patients with DCI and no infarction (mean day 4–14 peak, DCI with infarction: 37,209 ± 26,951 pg/ml vs. DCI, no infarction: 15,123 ± 11,239 pg/ml; P = 0.003), while findings in the latter patient group were similar to cases with no vasospasm (mean day 4–14 peak, DCI, no infarction: 15,123 ± 11,239 vs. no DCI: 15,840 ± 12,979; P = 0.873). Together, these data support a potential role for elevated CSF IL-6 levels as a biomarker for DCI with infarction rather than for DCI in general. This fits well with a growing body of evidence linking neuroinflammation to ischemia and infarction, but (together with the large interindividual variations observed) limits the diagnostic usefulness of CSF IL-6 levels in SAH patients.

Abstract
The correlation of neuroinflammation with the development of cerebral vasospasm following subarachnoid hemorrhage has been well documented in the literature; both clinical and preclinical. The exact mechanisms by which this process occurs, however, are poorly elucidated. Recent evidence indicates that interleukin-6 is not only an important prognostic biomarker for subarachnoid hemorrhage and subsequent vasospasm development but also an integral component in the progression of injury following initial insult. In this review, we briefly highlight other pathways under investigation and focus heavily on what has been discovered regarding the role of interleukin 6 and cerebral vasospasm following subarachnoid hemorrhage. A proposed mechanistic pathway is highlighted in written and graphical format. A discussion regarding the human correlative findings and initial pre-clinical mechanistic studies is addressed. Finally, in the future investigation section, innovative developments and a clear description of areas warranting further scientific inquiry are emphasized. This review will catalyze continued discovery in this area of emerging significance and aid in the quest for effective vasospasm treatment where limited clinical therapeutics currently exist.

Abstract
Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) is a devastating disease, which mainly caused by the rupture of an intracranial aneurysm. Clinical trials have demonstrated that cerebral vasospasm (CVS) is not the sole contributor to delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) and poor outcomes in patients with aSAH. Currently, accumulating evidence suggests that early brain injury (EBI), which occurs within 72 h after the onset of aSAH, lays the foundation for subsequent pathophysiological changes and poor outcomes of patients. The pathological mechanisms of EBI mainly include increased intracranial pressure, oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption, cerebral edema and cell death. Among them, the brain immune inflammatory responses involve a variety of immune cells and active substances, which play an important role in EBI after aSAH and may be related to DCI and long-term outcomes. Thus, attention should be paid to strategies targeting cerebral immune inflammatory responses. In this review, we discuss the role of immune inflammatory responses in the occurrence and development of aSAH, as well as some inflammatory biomarkers related to CVS, DCI, and aSAH outcomes. In addition, we also summarize the potential therapeutic drugs that target cerebral immune inflammatory responses for patients with aSAH in current research.

Abstract
Background and Purpose- We evaluated the association between 2 types of predictors of delayed cerebral ischemia after nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage, including biomarkers of the innate immune response and neurophysiologic changes on continuous electroencephalography. Methods- We studied subarachnoid hemorrhage patients that had at least 72 hours of continuous electroencephalography and blood samples collected within the first 5 days of symptom onset. We measured inflammatory biomarkers previously associated with delayed cerebral ischemia and functional outcome, including soluble ST2 (sST2), IL-6 (interleukin-6), and CRP (C-reactive protein). Serial plasma samples and cerebrospinal fluid sST2 levels were available in a subgroup of patients. Neurophysiologic changes were categorized into new or worsening epileptiform abnormalities (EAs) or new background deterioration. The association of biomarkers with neurophysiologic changes were evaluated using the Wilcoxon rank-sum test. Plasma and cerebrospinal fluid sST2 were further examined longitudinally using repeated measures mixed-effects models. Results- Forty-six patients met inclusion criteria. Seventeen (37%) patients developed new or worsening EAs, 21 (46%) developed new background deterioration, and 8 (17%) developed neither. Early (day, 0-5) plasma sST2 levels were higher among patients with new or worsening EAs (median 115 ng/mL [interquartile range, 73.8-197]) versus those without (74.7 ng/mL [interquartile range, 44.8-102]; P=0.024). Plasma sST2 levels were similar between patients with or without new background deterioration. Repeated measures mixed-effects modeling that adjusted for admission risk factors showed that the association with new or worsening EAs remained independent for both plasma sST2 (β=0.41 [95% CI, 0.09-0.73]; P=0.01) and cerebrospinal fluid sST2 (β=0.97 [95% CI, 0.14-1.8]; P=0.021). IL-6 and CRP were not associated with new background deterioration or with new or worsening EAs. Conclusions- In patients admitted with subarachnoid hemorrhage, sST2 level was associated with new or worsening EAs but not new background deterioration. This association may identify a link between a specific innate immune response pathway and continuous electroencephalography abnormalities in the pathogenesis of secondary brain injury after subarachnoid hemorrhage.

Abstract
Background Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a catastrophic disease with devastating consequences, including a high mortality rate and severe disabilities among survivors. Inflammation is induced following SAH, but the exact role and phenotype of innate immune cells remain poorly characterized. We investigated the inflammatory components of the early brain injury in an animal model and in SAH patients. Method SAH was induced through injection of blood in the subarachnoid space of C57Bl/6 J wild-type mice. Prospective blood collections were obtained at 12 h, days 1, 2, and 7 to evaluate the systemic inflammatory consequences of SAH by flow cytometry and enzyme-linked immunosorbent-assay (ELISA). Brains were collected, enzymatically digested, or fixed to characterize infiltrating inflammatory cells and neuronal death using flow cytometry and immunofluorescence. Phenotypic evaluation was performed at day 7 using the holding time and footprint tests. We then compared the identified inflammatory proteins to the profiles obtained from the plasma of 13 human SAH patients. Results Following SAH, systemic IL-6 levels increased rapidly, whereas IL-10 levels were reduced. Neutrophils were increased both in the brain and in the blood reflecting local and peripheral inflammation following SAH. More intracerebral pro-inflammatory monocytes were found at early time points. Astrocyte and microglia activation were also increased, and mice had severe motor deficits, which were associated with an increase in the percentage of caspase-3-positive apoptotic neurons. Similarly, we found that IL-6 levels in patients were rapidly increased following SAH. ICAM-1, bFGF, IL-7, IL-12p40, and MCP-4 variations over time were different between SAH patients with good versus bad outcomes. Moreover, high levels of Flt-1 and VEGF at admission were associated with worse outcomes. Conclusion SAH induces an early intracerebral infiltration and peripheral activation of innate immune cells. Furthermore, microglia and astrocytic activation are present at later time points. Our human and mouse data illustrate that SAH is a systemic inflammatory disease and that immune cells represent potential therapeutic targets to help this population of patients in need of new treatments.
