[PMID: 38857751 DOI: 10.1016/j.expneurol.2024.114852] [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: 03/26/2024] [Revised: 05/25/2024] [Accepted: 06/06/2024] [Indexed: 06/12/2024]
Abstract
In intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), the mechanical brain injury is a considerable and indispensable factor determining the neurological functions and poor outcomes. Previous studies indicate the mechanically gated ion channel-Piezo1 can transduce mechanical effects following ICH. Isoquercitrin (ISQ) is a well-studied ion channel inhibitor. Furthermore, whether the following Piezo1-mediated neurological impairment can be ameliorated by ISQ remains unclear. Herein, we constructed the hydrostatic pressure model and ICH rat model. Firstly, we found that Piezo1 agonists Yoda1 and Jedi1 facilitated extracellular calcium influx dramatically, but ISQ could depress intracellular Ca2+ overload under hydrostatic pressure in primary neurons. Then we detected the expression profile of Piezo1, NLRP3 and NF-κB p-p65 after ICH, and found that the expression of Piezo1 was much earlier than NLRP3 and NF-κB p-p65. Furthermore, by western blot and immunofluorescence, ISQ decreased the expression of Piezo1 and NLRP3 dramatically like GsMTx4, but Nigericin as a NLRP3 agonist failed to affect Piezo1. Besides, both ISQ and interfering Piezo1 suppressed the upregulated caspase-1, NF-κB p-p65, p-IκBα, Tunel-positive cells and inflammatory factors (IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α) in ICH. At last, the hydrostatic pressure or hematoma induced disturbed neural viability, disordered neural cytomorphology, and increased neurobehavioral and cognitive deficits, but they were improved by ISQ and GsMTx4 strongly. Therefore, ISQ could alleviate neurological injuries induced by Piezo1 via NLRP3 pathway. These observations indicated that Piezos might be the new therapeutic targets, and blocking Piezos/NLRP3 pathway by ISQ could be an auspicious strategy for the treatment of ICH.

Abstract
The detrimental effects of plastics on aquatic organisms, including those of macroplastics, microplastics, and nanoplastics, have been well established. However, knowledge on the interaction between plastics and terrestrial insects is limited. To develop effective strategies for mitigating the impact of plastic pollution on terrestrial ecosystems, it is necessary to understand the toxicity effects and influencing factors of plastic ingestion by insects. An overview of current knowledge regarding plastic ingestion by terrestrial insects is provided in this Review, and the factors influencing this interaction are identified. The pathways through which insects interact with plastics, which can lead to plastic accumulation and microplastic transfer to higher trophic levels, are also discussed using an overview and a conceptual model. The diverse impacts of plastic exposure on insects are discussed, and the challenges in existing studies, such as a limited focus on certain plastic types, are identified. Further research on standardized methods for sampling and analysis is crucial for reliable research, and long-term monitoring is essential to assess plastic trends and ecological impacts in terrestrial ecosystems. The mechanisms underlying these effects need to be uncovered, and their potential long-term consequences for insect populations and ecosystems require evaluation.

Abstract
Stroke remains a leading cause of disability. Motor recovery requires the interaction of top-down and bottom-up mechanisms, which reinforce each other. Injury to the brain initiates a biphasic neuroimmune process, which opens a window for spontaneous recovery during which the brain is particularly sensitive to activity. Physical activity during this sensitive period can lead to rapid recovery by potentiating anti-inflammatory and neuroplastic processes. On the other hand, lack of physical activity can lead to early closure of the sensitive period and downstream changes in muscles, such as sarcopenia, muscle stiffness, and reduced cardiovascular capacity, and blood flow that impede recovery.

Potential effect of physical exercise on the downregulation of BDNF mRNA expression in rat hippocampus following intracerebral hemorrhage. Neurosci Lett 2024; 824:137670. [PMID: 38342427 DOI: 10.1016/j.neulet.2024.137670] [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: 11/10/2023] [Revised: 01/24/2024] [Accepted: 02/05/2024] [Indexed: 02/13/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Physical exercise is known to induce expression of the neuroprotective brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in the hippocampus. This study examined the effects of physical exercise on hippocampal BDNF expression and the potential benefits for preventing remote secondary hippocampal damage and neurological impairment following intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). MATERIALS AND METHODS Wistar rats were randomly assigned to sham-operated, ICH, and ICH followed by exercise (ICH/Ex) groups. The two ICH groups were injected with type IV collagenase into the left basal ganglia, while sham animals were injected with equal-volume saline. The ICH/Ex group rats ran on a treadmill at 11 m/min for 30 min/day from day 3 to 16 post-ICH. All animals were examined for neurological function on day 2 pretreatment and from day 3 to 15 posttreatment, for spontaneous motor activity in the open field on day 15, and for cognitive ability using the object location test on day 16. Animals were then euthanized and bilateral hippocampi collected for gene expression analyses. RESULTS Experimental ICH induced neurological deficits that were not reversed by exercise. In contrast, ICH did not alter spontaneous activity or object location ability. Expression of BDNF mRNA of the ICH group was significantly downregulated in the ipsilateral hippocampus compared to the SHAM group, but this downregulation was not shown in the ICH/Ex group. The ICH/Ex group showed the downregulation of caspase-3 mRNA expression in the contralateral hippocampus compared to the SHAM group, while neither ICH nor exercise influenced toll-like receptor 4 mRNA expression. CONCLUSIONS ICH induced the secondary BDNF downregulation in the hippocampus remote from the lesion, whereas physical exercise might partially mitigate the downregulation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Changes in cognition and memory are common complications of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), although the exact cause of this phenomenon is still unknown. The objectives of our project were to assess the changes in long-term potentiation, inflammation, and cell damage in the bilateral hippocampus following striatal intracerebral hemorrhage at different time points. MATERIALS AND METHODS Unilateral ICH was induced in the striatum of 96 Wistar rats (6 control groups and 6 ICH groups). We measured changes in synaptic inputs in the bilateral hippocampus using the field potential recording method on days 3, 7, and 14 after ICH. After staining the section with hematoxylin, the volume and number of hippocampal cells were measured. The number of NF-κB positive cells was evaluated using the immunohistochemistry method. RESULTS There was a significant change in the amplitude and slope of the hippocampal excitatory potential in the ICH group compared to the sham group, but only on the 7th day after surgery. Specifically, the ipsilateral hippocampus in the ICH-7 group showed an increase in stimulation recording in 90 minutes compared to the sham-7 group (p<0.0001), while the contralateral hippocampus in the ICH-7 group exhibited a decrease in potential recording compared to the sham-7 group (p<0.0001). By day 14, the ICH group had a lower cell density in both the ipsilateral (p<0.05) and contralateral hippocampus (p<0.05) compared to the sham group, but there was no significant change in the hippocampal volume between the groups at any time interval. Furthermore, our immunohistochemical analysis revealed that the number of NF-kB-positive cells in both hemispheres of the ICH groups was significantly greater than that of the sham groups across all time intervals. CONCLUSIONS These findings suggest that striatal injury may lead to inflammation and cell death in the bilateral hippocampus, which can impair cognitive function after ICH.

Abstract
Neuroinflammation after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a crucial factor that determines the extent of the injury. Cofilin is a cytoskeleton-associated protein that drives neuroinflammation and microglia activation. A novel cofilin inhibitor (CI) synthesized and developed in our lab has turned out to be a potential therapeutic agent for targeting cofilin-mediated neuroinflammation in an in vitro model of ICH and traumatic brain injury. The current study aims to examine the therapeutic potential of CI in a mouse collagenase model of ICH and examine the neurobehavioral outcomes and its mechanism of action. Male mice were subjected to intrastriatal collagenase injection to induce ICH, and sham mice received needle insertion. Various concentrations (25, 50, and 100 mg/kg) of CI were administered to different cohorts of the animals as a single intravenous injection 3 h following ICH and intraperitoneally every 12 h for 3 days. The animals were tested for neurobehavioral parameters for up to 7 days and sacrificed to collect brains for hematoma volume measurement, Western blotting, and immunohistochemistry. Blood was collected for cofilin, TNF-α, and IL-1β assessments. The results indicated that 50 mg/kg CI improved neurological outcomes, reversed post-stroke cognitive impairment, accelerated hematoma resolution, mitigated cofilin rods/aggregates, and reduced microglial and astrocyte activation in mice with ICH. Microglia morphological analysis demonstrated that CI restored the homeostasis ramification pattern of microglia in mice treated with CI. CI suppressed endoplasmic reticulum stress-related neuroinflammation by inhibiting inflammasomes and cell death signaling pathways. We also showed that CI prevented synaptic loss by reviving the pre- and post-synaptic markers. Our results unveil a novel therapeutic approach to treating ICH and open a window for using CI in clinical practice.

Abstract
Pexidartinib (PLX3397) is a small molecule receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor of colony stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF1R) with moderate selectivity over other members of the platelet derived growth factor receptor family. It is approved for treatment of tenosynovial giant cell tumors (TGCT). CSF1R is highly expressed by microglia, which are macrophages of the central nervous system (CNS) that defend the CNS against injury and pathogens and contribute to synapse development and plasticity. Challenged by pathogens, apoptotic cells, debris, or inflammatory molecules they adopt a responsive state to propagate the inflammation and eventually return to a homeostatic state. The phenotypic switch may fail, and disease-associated microglia contribute to the pathophysiology in neurodegenerative or neuropsychiatric diseases or long-lasting detrimental brain inflammation after brain, spinal cord or nerve injury or ischemia/hemorrhage. Microglia also contribute to the growth permissive tumor microenvironment of glioblastoma (GBM). In rodents, continuous treatment for 1-2 weeks via pexidartinib food pellets leads to a depletion of microglia and subsequent repopulation from the remaining fraction, which is aided by peripheral monocytes that search empty niches for engraftment. The putative therapeutic benefit of such microglia depletion or forced renewal has been assessed in almost any rodent model of CNS disease or injury or GBM with heterogeneous outcomes, but a tendency of partial beneficial effects. So far, microglia monitoring e.g. via positron emission imaging is not standard of care for patients receiving Pexidartinib (e.g. for TGCT), so that the depletion and repopulation efficiency in humans is still largely unknown. Considering the virtuous functions of microglia, continuous depletion is likely no therapeutic option but short-lasting transient partial depletion to stimulate microglia renewal or replace microglia in genetic disease in combination with e.g. stem cell transplantation or as part of a multimodal concept in treatment of glioblastoma appears feasible. The present review provides an overview of the preclinical evidence pro and contra microglia depletion as a therapeutic approach.

Abstract
Acquired brain injuries, such as ischemic stroke, intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), and traumatic brain injury (TBI), can cause severe neurologic damage and even death. Unfortunately, currently, there are no effective and safe treatments to reduce the high disability and mortality rates associated with these brain injuries. However, environmental enrichment (EE) is an emerging approach to treating and rehabilitating acquired brain injuries by promoting motor, sensory, and social stimulation. Multiple preclinical studies have shown that EE benefits functional recovery, including improved motor and cognitive function and psychological benefits mediated by complex protective signaling pathways. This article provides an overview of the enriched environment protocols used in animal models of ischemic stroke, ICH, and TBI, as well as relevant clinical studies, with a particular focus on ischemic stroke. Additionally, we explored studies of animals with stroke and TBI exposed to EE alone or in combination with multiple drugs and other rehabilitation modalities. Finally, we discuss the potential clinical applications of EE in future brain rehabilitation therapy and the molecular and cellular changes caused by EE in rodents with stroke or TBI. This article aims to advance preclinical and clinical research on EE rehabilitation therapy for acquired brain injury. © 2024 American Physiological Society. Compr Physiol 14:5291-5323, 2024.

Abstract
Intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) commonly occurs as an extension of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) into the brain ventricular system, leading to worse outcomes without effective management. Using a mouse model of IVH, we found that impaired neurogenesis is evident in the subventricular zone (SVZ), along with persistent microglia activation, leukocyte infiltration and cell death. Pharmacological depletion of microglia using PLX3397, an inhibitor of colony stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF1R), promotes neurogenesis, and alleviated delayed functional impairments in IVH mice. Meanwhile, an elevated level of microglia-derived CC chemokine ligand 20 (CCL20) is observed in the SVZ following IVH, which can induce the upregulation of pro-inflammatory factors in microglia and impair the proliferation and survival of neural stem cells (NSCs) in vitro. Blocking CCL20 in microglia leads to downregulation of protein kinase B (Akt)/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR)/the nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) signaling pathway, which may contribute to CCL20-dependent pro-inflammatory responses and neural injury. These findings demonstrate a detrimental role of microglia in the neurogenesis and neurorepair after IVH in which CCL20 likely plays a role.

Abstract
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), which has high mortality and disability rate is associated with microglial pyroptosis and neuroinflammation, and the effective treatment methods are limited Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) has been found to play a cytoprotective role by regulating the anti-inflammatory response to pyroptosis in other systemic diseases. However, the role of EGCG in microglial pyroptosis and neuroinflammation after ICH remains unclear. In this study, we investigated the effects of EGCG pretreatment on neuroinflammation-mediated neuronal pyroptosis and the underlying neuroprotective mechanisms in experimental ICH. EGCG pretreatment was found to remarkably improved neurobehavioral performance, and decreased the hematoma volume and cerebral edema in mice. We found that EGCG pretreatment attenuated the release of hemin-induced inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-18, and TNF-α). EGCG significantly upregulated the expression of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), and downregulated the levels of pyroptotic molecules and inflammatory cytokines including Caspase-1, GSDMD, NLRP3, mature IL-1β, and IL-18. EGCG pretreatment also decreased the number of Caspase-1-positive microglia and GSDMD along with NLRP3-positive microglia after ICH. Conversely, an HO-1-specific inhibitor (ZnPP), significantly inhibited the anti-pyroptosis and anti-neuroinflammation effects of EGCG. Therefore, EGCG pretreatment alleviated microglial pyroptosis and neuroinflammation, at least in part through the Caspase-1/GSDMD/NLRP3 pathway by upregulating HO-1 expression after ICH. In addition, EGCG pretreatment promoted the polarization of microglia from the M1 phenotype to M2 phenotype after ICH. The results suggest that EGCG is a potential agent to attenuate neuroinflammation via its anti-pyroptosis effect after ICH.

Pharmacological inhibition of histone deacetylases ameliorates cognitive impairment after intracerebral hemorrhage with epigenetic alteration in the hippocampus. J Stroke Cerebrovasc Dis 2023; 32:107275. [PMID: 37523880 DOI: 10.1016/j.jstrokecerebrovasdis.2023.107275] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/24/2023] [Revised: 07/15/2023] [Accepted: 07/20/2023] [Indexed: 08/02/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI) interferes with neurorehabilitation in patients with stroke. Epigenetic regulation of the hippocampus has been targeted to ameliorate cognitive function. In particular, the acetylation level of histones is modulated by exercise, a potent therapy for patients with stroke. MATERIALS AND METHODS We examined the effects of exercise and pharmacological inhibition of histone deacetylase (HDAC) using sodium butyrate (NaB) on cognitive function and epigenetic factors in the hippocampus after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) to seek beneficial neuronal conditioning against PSCI. Forty rats were randomly assigned to five groups: sham, control, NaB, exercise, and NaB plus exercise groups (n=8 in each group). Except for those in the sham group, all rats underwent stereotaxic ICH surgery with a microinjection of collagenase solution. Intraperitoneal administration of NaB (300 mg/kg) and treadmill exercise (11 m/min for 30 min) were conducted for approximately 4 weeks starting 3 days post-surgery. RESULTS ICH reduced cognitive function, as detected by the object location test, accompanied by enhanced activity of HDACs. Although exercise did not modulate HDAC activity or cognitive function, repetitive NaB administration increased HDAC activity and ameliorated cognitive impairment induced by ICH. CONCLUSIONS This study suggests that pharmacological treatment with an HDAC inhibitor could potentially present an enriched epigenetic platform in the hippocampus and ameliorate PSCI for neurorehabilitation following ICH.

Abstract
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a significant health concern associated with high mortality. Cofilin plays a crucial role in stress conditions, but its signaling following ICH in a longitudinal study is yet to be ascertained. In the present study, we examined the cofilin expression in human ICH autopsy brains. Then, the spatiotemporal cofilin signaling, microglia activation, and neurobehavioral outcomes were investigated in a mouse model of ICH. Human autopsy brain sections from ICH patients showed increased intracellular cofilin localization within microglia in the perihematomal area, possibly associated with microglial activation and morphological changes. Various cohorts of mice were subjected to intrastriatal collagenase injection and sacrificed at time points of 1, 3, 7, 14, 21, and 28 days. Mice suffered from severe neurobehavioral deficits after ICH, lasting for 7 days, followed by a gradual improvement. Mice suffered post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI) both acutely and in the chronic phase. Hematoma volume increased from day 1 to 3, whereas ventricle size increased from day 21 to 28. Cofilin protein expression increased in the ipsilateral striatum on days 1 and 3 and then decreased from days 7 to 28. An increase in activated microglia was observed around the hematoma on days 1 to 7, followed by a gradual reduction up to day 28. Around the hematoma, activated microglia showed morphological changes from ramified to amoeboid. mRNA levels of inflammatory [tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin 1β (IL-1β), and interleukin-6 (IL-6) and anti-inflammatory markers [interleukin-10 (IL-10), transforming growth factor-β TGF-β, and arginase I (Arg1)] increased during the acute phase and decreased in the chronic phase. Blood cofilin levels increased on day 3 and matched the increase in chemokine levels. slingshot protein phosphatase 1 (SSH1) protein, which activates cofilin, was increased from day 1 to 7. These results suggest that microglial activation might be the sequel of cofilin overactivation following ICH, leading to widespread neuroinflammation and consequent PSCI.

Abstract
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is one of the most common causes of fatal stroke, yet has no specific drug therapies. Many attempts at passive intravenous (IV) delivery in ICH have failed to deliver drugs to the salvageable area around the hemorrhage. The passive delivery method assumes vascular leak through the ruptured blood-brain barrier will allow drug accumulation in the brain. Here we tested this assumption using intrastriatal injection of collagenase, a well-established experimental model of ICH. Fitting with hematoma expansion in clinical ICH, we showed that collagenase-induced blood leak drops significantly by 4 h after ICH onset and is gone by 24 h. We observed passive-leak brain accumulation also declines rapidly over ∼4 h for 3 model IV therapeutics (non-targeted IgG; a protein therapeutic; PEGylated nanoparticles). We compared these passive leak results with targeted brain delivery by IV monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) that actively bind vascular endothelium (anti-VCAM, anti-PECAM, anti-ICAM). Even at early time points after ICH induction, where there is high vascular leak, brain accumulation via passive leak is dwarfed by brain accumulation of endothelial-targeted agents: At 4 h after injury, anti-PECAM mAbs accumulate at 8-fold higher levels in the brain vs. non-immune IgG; anti-VCAM nanoparticles (NPs) deliver a protein therapeutic (superoxide dismutase, SOD) at 4.5-fold higher levels than the carrier-free therapeutic at 24 h after injury. These data suggest that relying on passive vascular leak provides inefficient delivery of therapeutics even at early time points after ICH, and that a better strategy might be targeted delivery to the brain endothelium, which serves as the gateway for the immune attack on the peri-hemorrhage inflamed brain region.

Abstract
Hemorrhagic stroke is the deadliest form of stroke and includes the subtypes of intracerebral hemorrhage and subarachnoid hemorrhage. A common cause of hemorrhagic stroke in older individuals is cerebral amyloid angiopathy. Intracerebral hemorrhage and subarachnoid hemorrhage both lead to the rapid collection of blood in the central nervous system and generate inflammatory immune responses that involve both brain resident and infiltrating immune cells. These responses are complex and can contribute to both tissue recovery and tissue injury. Despite the interconnectedness of these major subtypes of hemorrhagic stroke, few reviews have discussed them collectively. The present review provides an update on inflammatory processes that occur in response to intracerebral hemorrhage and subarachnoid hemorrhage, and the role of inflammation in the pathophysiology of cerebral amyloid angiopathy-related hemorrhage. The goal is to highlight inflammatory processes that underlie disease pathology and recovery. We aim to discuss recent advances in our understanding of these conditions and identify gaps in knowledge with the potential to develop effective therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a life-threatening stroke subtype with high rates of disability and mortality. Naoxueshu oral liquid is a proprietary Chinese medicine that absorbs hematoma and exhibits neuroprotective effects in patients with ICH. However, the underlying mechanisms remain obscure. PURPOSE Exploring and elucidating the pharmacological mechanism of Naoxueshu oral liquid in the treatment of ICH. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS The Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database was used to download the gene expression data on ICH. ICH-related hub modules were obtained by weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) of differentially co-expressed genes (DEGs). The Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analyses were conducted using the obtained key modules to identify the ICH-related signaling pathways. Network pharmacology technology was applied to forecast the targets of Naoxueshu oral liquid and to establish a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network of overlapping targets between Naoxueshu oral liquid and ICH. Functional annotation and enrichment pathway analyses of the intersectional targets were performed using the omicsbean database. Finally, we verified the therapeutic role and mechanism of Naoxueshu oral liquid in ICH through molecular docking and experiments. RESULTS Through the WGCNA analysis, combined with network pharmacology, it was found that immune inflammation was closely related to the early pathological mechanism of ICH. Naoxueshu oral liquid suppressed the inflammatory response; hence, it could be a potential drug for ICH treatment. Molecular docking further confirmed that the effective components of Naoxueshu oral liquid docked well with CD163. Finally, the experimental results showed that Naoxueshu oral liquid treatment in the ICH rat model attenuated neurological deficits and neuronal injury, decreased hematoma volume, and promoted hematoma absorption. In addition, Naoxueshu oral liquid treatment also significantly increased the levels of Arg-1, CD163, Nrf2, and HO-1 around hematoma after ICH. CONCLUSION This study demonstrated that Naoxueshu oral liquid attenuated neurological deficits and accelerated hematoma absorption, possibly by suppressing inflammatory responses, which might be related to the regulation of Nrf2/CD163/HO-1 that interfered with the activation of M2 microglia, thus accelerating the clearance and decomposition of hemoglobin in the hematoma.

Abstract
Cancers and neurological disorders are two major types of diseases. We previously developed a new concept termed "Aberrant Cell Cycle Diseases" (ACCD), revealing that these two diseases share a common mechanism of aberrant cell cycle re-entry. The aberrant cell cycle re-entry is manifested as kinase/oncogene activation and tumor suppressor inactivation, which are hallmarks of both tumor growth in cancers and neuronal death in neurological disorders. Therefore, some cancer therapies (e.g., kinase inhibition, tumor suppressor elevation) can be leveraged for neurological treatments. The United States Food and Drug Administration (US FDA) has so far approved 74 kinase inhibitors, with numerous other kinase inhibitors in clinical trials, mostly for the treatment of cancers. In contrast, there are dire unmet needs of FDA-approved drugs for neurological treatments, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), ischemic stroke (IS), traumatic brain injury (TBI), and others. In this review, we list these 74 FDA-approved kinase-targeted drugs and identify those that have been reported in preclinical and/or clinical trials for neurological disorders, with a purpose of discussing the feasibility and applicability of leveraging these cancer drugs (FDA-approved kinase inhibitors) for neurological treatments.

Abstract
Microglia are dynamic cells, constantly surveying their surroundings and interacting with neurons and synapses. Indeed, a wealth of knowledge has revealed a critical role of microglia in modulating synaptic transmission and plasticity in the developing brain. In the past decade, novel pharmacological and genetic strategies have allowed the acute removal of microglia, opening the possibility to explore and understand the role of microglia also in the adult brain. In this review, we summarized and discussed the contribution of microglia depletion strategies to the current understanding of the role of microglia on synaptic function, learning and memory, and behavior both in physiological and pathological conditions. We first described the available microglia depletion methods highlighting their main strengths and weaknesses. We then reviewed the impact of microglia depletion on structural and functional synaptic plasticity. Next, we focused our analysis on the effects of microglia depletion on behavior, including general locomotor activity, sensory perception, motor function, sociability, learning and memory both in healthy animals and animal models of disease. Finally, we integrated the findings from the reviewed studies and discussed the emerging roles of microglia on the maintenance of synaptic function, learning, memory strength and forgetfulness, and the implications of microglia depletion in models of brain disease.

Abstract
Immunosuppression commonly occurs after a stroke, which is believed to be associated with the increased risk of infectious comorbidities of stroke patients, while the mechanisms underlying post-stroke immunosuppression is yet to be elucidated. In the brains of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) patients and murine ICH models, we identified that neuron-derived programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) is reduced in the perihematomal area, associating increased soluble PD-L1 level in the peripheral blood. ICH induced a significant decrease of T and natural killer (NK) cell numbers in the periphery with an upregulation of programed death-1 (PD-1) in these cells. Blocking PD-1 pathway with an anti-PD1 monoclonal antibody prevented the T and NK cell compartment contraction and spleen atrophy post-ICH, with reduced pulmonary bacterial burden and improved neurological outcome. Thus, we here identified that brain-derived PD-L1 as a new mechanism driving post-stroke immunosuppression, and anti-PD1 treatment could be potentially developed to reducing the risk of post-stroke infections.

Concomitant vascular risk factors, including aging, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, dyslipidemia, or underlying pathologic conditions, such as chronic cerebral hypoperfusion, white matter hyperintensities, or Alzheimer’s disease pathology, can predispose patients to develop post-stroke dementia (PSD). Given the various clinical conditions associated with PSD, a single animal model for PSD is not possible. Animal models of PSD that consider these diverse clinical situations have not been well-studied. In this literature review, diverse rodent models that simulate the various clinical conditions of PSD have been evaluated. Heterogeneous rodent models of PSD are classified into the following categories: surgical technique, special structure, and comorbid condition. The characteristics of individual models and their clinical significance are discussed in detail. Diverse rodent models mimicking the specific pathomechanisms of PSD could provide effective animal platforms for future studies investigating the characteristics and pathophysiology of PSD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Persistent vegetative state (PVS) is a devastating and long-lasting clinical condition with high morbidity and mortality; currently, there are no available effective interventions.
CASE SUMMARY We report the case of an 11-year-old boy with PVS caused by severe intracerebral bleeding in the left hemisphere following anticoagulation treatment. The patient’s PVS severity showed no notable improvement after 2-mo neuroprotective treatment and rehabilitation, including nerve growth factor and baclofen, hyperbaric oxygen, and comprehensive bedside rehabilitation therapies. Daily inhalation treatment (4-6 h) of high-concentration hydrogen (H2) gas (66.6% H2 + 33.3% O2) was provided. Surprisingly, the patient’s orientation, consciousness, ability to speak, facial expressions, and locomotor function were significantly restored, along with improvements in essential general health status, after H2 gas inhalation treatment, which was consistent with stabilized neuropathology in the left hemisphere and increased Hounsfield unit values of computed tomography in the right hemisphere. The patient finally recovered to a near normal conscious state with a Coma Recovery Scale-Revised Score of 22 from his previous score of 3.
CONCLUSION Phase 1 clinical trials are needed to explore the safety and efficacy of H2 gas inhalation in patients with PVS.

Abstract
Stroke has become the second leading cause of death in people aged higher than 60 years, with cancer being the first. Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is the most lethal type of stroke. Using imaging techniques to evaluate the evolution of intracranial hematomas in patients with hemorrhagic stroke is worthy of ongoing research. The difficulty in obtaining ultra-early imaging data and conducting intensive dynamic radiographic imaging in actual clinical settings has led to the application of experimental animal models to assess the evolution of intracranial hematomas. Herein, we review the current knowledge on primary intracerebral hemorrhage mechanisms, focus on the progress of animal studies related to hematoma development and secondary brain injury, introduce preclinical therapies, and summarize related challenges and future directions.

Abstract
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a devastating disease, and there is currently no specific pharmacological treatment that can improve clinical outcomes. Y-2 sublingual tablets, each containing 30 mg edaravone and 6 mg (+)-borneol, is undergoing a phase III clinical trial for treatment of ischemic stroke in China. The purpose of the present study is to investigate the efficacy and potential mechanism of Y-2 in a rat model of collagenase IV injection induced ICH. Sublingual administration of Y-2 at the dose of 1, 3 and 6 mg/kg improved ICH-induced sensorimotor dysfunction, alleviated cell death and histopathological change, restored the hippocampal long-term potentiation (LTP), reduced brain edema and maintained blood-brain barrier (BBB) integrality in ICH rats. Further study demonstrated that Y-2 could reduce inflammatory response and oxidative stress by decreasing the levels of myeloperoxidase (MPO), ionized calcium-binding adaptor protein-1 (Iba-1), inflammatory cytokines and oxidative products, inhibit transcription factor nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) activation, cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and matrix metallopeptidase 9 (MMP-9) expression in brain tissue around in the core regions of hematoma. Importantly, the protective efficacy of Y-2 from ICH-induced injury was superior to edaravone. In conclusion, Y-2 sublingual tablets might be a promising therapeutic agent for the treatment of ICH.

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
Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a major comorbid condition that increases susceptibility to stroke. Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), a devastating type of stroke, accounts for only 13% of the total stroke cases but is associated with higher mortality. Multimorbid models of DM and ischemic stroke have been widely studied; however, fewer pieces of evidence are available on the impact of DM on the outcomes of ICH injury. In this study, we investigated the effect of DM on ICH-induced injury and cognitive impairments. Streptozotocin (STZ) induced type-I DM (T1DM) animal model was used, and experimental ICH was induced by intrastriatal injection of collagenase. Our results demonstrated that DM is associated with a significant increase in hematoma volume and deficits in post-stroke locomotor, sensorimotor, and cognitive behavior in mice. The levels of neuroinflammation, oxidative/nitrosative stress, and glial cell activation were also increased in the diabetic mice following ICH injury. This study provides a better understanding of the influence of DM comorbidity on hemorrhagic stroke outcomes and uncovers the important pathological mechanisms underlying DM-induced exacerbation of ICH injury.

Abstract
Acute brain insults elicit pronounced inflammation that amplifies brain damage in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). We profiled perihematomal tissue from patients with ICH, generating a molecular landscape of the injured brain, and identified formyl peptide receptor 1 (FPR1) as the most abundantly increased damage-associated molecular pattern (DAMP) receptor, predominantly expressed by microglia. Circulating mitochondrial N-formyl peptides, endogenous ligands of FPR1, were augmented and correlated with the magnitude of brain edema in patients with ICH. Interactions of formyl peptides with FPR1 activated microglia, boosted neutrophil recruitment, and aggravated neurological deficits in two mouse models of ICH. We created an FPR1 antagonist T-0080 that can penetrate the brain and bind both human and murine FPR1. T-0080 attenuated brain edema and improved neurological outcomes in ICH models. Thus, FPR1 orchestrates brain inflammation after ICH and could be targeted to improve clinical outcome in patients.

Abstract
Hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) plays a central role in the treatment of hematologic cancers. With the increasing survival of patients after HSCT, survivorship issues experienced by this population have become an important outcome. Cognitive impairment is an established sequela of HSCT, with studies to date establishing its presence, associated risk factors, and clinical phenotype. There are multiple potential contributors to cognitive impairment after HSCT. Efforts are ongoing to further characterize its clinical phenotype, associated biomarkers, and biologic underpinnings. A fundamental knowledge of post-HSCT cognitive impairment is of value for all clinicians who interface with this population, and further academic efforts are needed to more fully understand the impact of this cancer treatment on brain health. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: As survival outcomes after hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) improve, an awareness of the post-treatment challenges faced by this population has become central to its care. HSCT can have a sustained and broad impact on brain health, causing cognitive dysfunction, fatigue, disturbed mood, and sleep. In affected patients, autonomy, return to work, relationships, and quality of life may all be affected. A fundamental fluency in this area is important for clinicians interfacing with HSCT survivors, facilitating the identification and management of cognitive dysfunction and concurrent symptom clusters, and stimulating interest in these sequelae as areas for future clinical research.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disease which also causes cognitive deficits. Betaine (N,N,N-trimethylglycine), also known as trimethylglycine, has been shown to ameliorate diabetic symptoms in diabetic animals and improve cognitive ability in Alzheimer disease (AD) animals. However, the effects of betaine on cognitive deficits in diabetic animals have not been described yet. Therefore, in the current study, the effects of betaine on cognition in diabetic rats were evaluated. METHODS We established a diabetic rat model by injecting streptozotocin (STZ) into rats and administrated betaine to these diabetic rats. We monitored the metabolism index, and glucose and insulin levels in blood and cerebrospinal fluid. We measured inflammatory cytokine levels, including TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6, in serum and hippocampus. We also monitored oxidative stress in the hippocampus by measuring malondialdehyde (MDA) level and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity. We measured the learning and memory ability of diabetic rats using the Morris water and Y maze tests and tested the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt activation and p-mTOR level in the hippocampus. RESULTS Betaine improved glucose metabolism and suppressed the production of inflammatory cytokines, including TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6. Also, betaine decreased MDA concentration and increased SOD activity in the hippocampus of diabetic rats. Betaine ameliorated cognitive deficits in diabetic rats, and it promoted PI3K expression and Akt activation and decreased p-mTOR expression. CONCLUSION Betaine alleviates cognitive deficits in STZ-induced diabetic rats via regulating the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.

Abstract
There is a surge in diabetes incidence with an estimated 463 million individuals been diagnosed worldwide. Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a major stroke-related comorbid condition that increases the susceptibility of disabling post-stroke outcomes. Although less common, intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is the most dramatic subtype of stroke that is associated with higher mortality, particularly in DM population. Previous studies have focused mainly on the impact of DM on ischemic stroke. Few studies have focused on impact of DM on ICH and discussed the blood-brain barrier disruption, brain edema, and hematoma formation. However, more recently, investigating the role of oxidative damage and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in preclinical studies involving DM-ICH animal models has gained attention. But, little is known about the correlation between neuroinflammatory processes, glial cells activation, and peripheral immune cell invasion with DM-ICH injury. DM and ICH patients experience impaired abilities in multiple cognitive domains by relatively comparable mechanisms, which could get exacerbated in the setting of comorbidities. In this review, we discuss both the pathology of DM as a comorbid condition for ICH and the potential molecular therapeutic targets for the clinical management of the ICH and its recovery.

GDF11 alleviates secondary brain injury after intracerebral hemorrhage via attenuating mitochondrial dynamic abnormality and dysfunction. Sci Rep 2021; 11:3974. [PMID: 33597668 PMCID: PMC7889617 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-83545-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/15/2020] [Accepted: 02/03/2021] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a serious public health problem with high rates of death and disability. The neuroprotective effect of Growth Differentiation Factor 11 (GDF11) in ICH has been initially proved by our previous study. Oxidative stress (OS) plays crucial roles in mediating subsequent damage of ICH. However, whether and how mitochondrial dynamic events and function participated in ICH pathophysiology, and how mitochondrial function and OS interreacted in the neuroprotective process of GDF11 in ICH remains unclarified. Based on the rat model of ICH and in vitro cell model, we demonstrated that GDF11 could alleviate ICH induced neurological deficits, brain edema, OS status, neuronal apoptosis and inflammatory reaction. In addition, mitochondrial functional and structural impairments were obviously restored by GDF11. Treatment with antioxidant protected against erythrocyte homogenate (EH) induced cell injury by restoring OS status and mitochondrial fusion fission imbalance, which was similar to the effect of GDF11 treatment. Further, inhibition of mitochondrial division with Mdivi-1 attenuated mitochondrial functional defects and neuronal damages. In conclusion, our results for the first time proposed that GDF11 protected the post-ICH secondary injury by suppressing the feedback loop between mitochondrial ROS production and mitochondrial dynamic alteration, resulting in attenuated mitochondrial function and amelioration of neural damage.

Cognitive Impairment After Intracerebral Hemorrhage: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. World Neurosurg 2021; 148:141-162. [PMID: 33482414 DOI: 10.1016/j.wneu.2021.01.026] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/02/2020] [Revised: 01/07/2021] [Accepted: 01/08/2021] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The present systematic review and meta-analysis analyzes the available clinical literature on post-intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) cognitive impairment. METHODS We conducted a systematic review with meta-analysis following PRISMA guidelines. A search of bibliographic databases up to July 31, 2020 yielded 2155 studies. Twenty articles were included in our final qualitative systematic review and 18 articles in quantitative meta-analysis. RESULTS Based on analysis of data from 18 studies (3270 patients), we found prevalence of post-ICH cognitive impairment to be 46% (confidence interval, 35.9-55.9), with a follow-up duration ranging from 8 days to 4 years. The estimated pooled prevalence of cognitive decline decreased over longitudinal follow-up, from 55% (range, 37.7%-71.15%) within 6 months of ICH to 35% (range, 27%-42.7%) with >6 months to 4 years follow-up after ICH. The modalities used to evaluate cognitive performance after ICH in studies varied widely, ranging from global cognitive measures to domain-specific testing. The cognitive domain most commonly affected included nonverbal IQ, information processing speed, executive function, memory, language, and visuoconstructive abilities. Prognostic factors for poor cognitive performance included severity of cortical atrophy, age, lobar ICH location, and higher number of hemorrhages at baseline. CONCLUSIONS The prevalence of post-ICH cognitive impairment is high. Despite the heterogeneity among studies, the present study identified cognitive domains most commonly affected and predictors of cognitive impairment after ICH. In future, prospective cohort studies with larger sample sizes and standardized cognitive domains testing could more accurately determine prevalence and prognostic factors of post-ICH cognitive decline.

Inhibition of PTEN Ameliorates Secondary Hippocampal Injury and Cognitive Deficits after Intracerebral Hemorrhage: Involvement of AKT/FoxO3a/ATG-Mediated Autophagy. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2021; 2021:5472605.

Abstract
Spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) commonly causes secondary hippocampal damage and delayed cognitive impairments, but the mechanisms remain elusive. Here, we sought to identify the molecular mechanisms underlying these hemorrhagic outcomes in a rat autologous blood model of ICH. First, a significant increase in phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) expression was observed in nonhemorrhagic ipsilateral hippocampus. However, systemic administration of PTEN inhibitor BPV or hippocampal injection of PTEN siRNA could prevent hippocampal neuronal injury and cognitive dysfunctions after ICH. Furthermore, we also found that ICH robustly triggered autophagic neuronal death in the ipsilateral hippocampus, but which were strongly reduced by PTEN knockdown. Notably, suppression of autophagy effectively attenuated poststroke hippocampal inflammation, neuronal damage, and cognitive decline, suggesting the beneficial effects of PTEN deletion was associated with autophagy inactivation. Specifically, PTEN antagonized the PI3K/AKT signaling and downstream effector FoxO3a phosphorylation and subsequently enhanced nuclear translocation of FoxO3a to drive proautophagy gene program, but these changes were diminished upon PTEN inhibition. More importantly, lentivirus-mediated FoxO3a overexpression apparently abrogated the antiauotphagy effect of PTEN deletion via enhancing autophagy-related gene (ATG) transcription. Collectively, these results suggest that knockdown of PTEN alleviated progressive hippocampal injury and cognitive deficits by suppression of autophagy induction involving the AKT/FoxO3a/ATG axis after ICH. Thus, this study provides a novel and promising therapeutic target for the treatment of hemorrhagic stroke.

Abstract
RATIONALE Hemorrhagic complications represent a major limitation of intravenous thrombolysis using tPA (tissue-type plasminogen activator) in patients with ischemic stroke. The expression of tPA receptors on immune cells raises the question of what effects tPA exerts on these cells and whether these effects contribute to thrombolysis-related hemorrhagic transformation. OBJECTIVE We aim to determine the impact of tPA on immune cells and investigate the association between observed immune alteration with hemorrhagic transformation in ischemic stroke patients and in a rat model of embolic stroke. METHODS AND RESULTS Paired blood samples were collected before and 1 hour after tPA infusion from 71 patients with ischemic stroke. Control blood samples were collected from 27 ischemic stroke patients without tPA treatment. A rat embolic middle cerebral artery occlusion model was adopted to investigate the underlying mechanisms of hemorrhagic transformation. We report that tPA induces a swift surge of circulating neutrophils and T cells with profoundly altered molecular features in ischemic stroke patients and a rat model of focal embolic stroke. tPA exacerbates endothelial injury, increases adhesion and migration of neutrophils and T cells, which are associated with brain hemorrhage in rats subjected to embolic stroke. Genetic ablation of annexin A2 in neutrophils and T cells diminishes the effect of tPA on these cells. Decoupling the interaction between mobilized neutrophils/T cells and the neurovascular unit, achieved via a S1PR (sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor) 1 modulator RP101075 and a CCL2 (C-C motif chemokine ligand 2) synthesis inhibitor bindarit, which block lymphocyte egress and myeloid cell recruitment, respectively, attenuates hemorrhagic transformation and improves neurological function after tPA thrombolysis. CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest that immune invasion of the neurovascular unit represents a previously unrecognized mechanism underlying tPA-mediated brain hemorrhage, which can be overcome by precise immune modulation during thrombolytic therapy.

J Neuroinflammation 2021; 18:4.

Abstract
Background Cognitive decline occurs frequently in Parkinson’s disease (PD), which greatly decreases the quality of life of patients. However, the mechanisms remain to be investigated. Neuroinflammation mediated by overactivated microglia is a common pathological feature in multiple neurological disorders, including PD. This study is designed to explore the role of microglia in cognitive deficits by using a rotenone-induced mouse PD model. Methods To evaluate the role of microglia in rotenone-induced cognitive deficits, PLX3397, an inhibitor of colony-stimulating factor 1 receptor, and minocycline, a widely used antibiotic, were used to deplete or inactivate microglia, respectively. Cognitive performance of mice among groups was detected by Morris water maze, objective recognition, and passive avoidance tests. Neurodegeneration, synaptic loss, α-synuclein phosphorylation, glial activation, and apoptosis were determined by immunohistochemistry and Western blot or immunofluorescence staining. The gene expression of inflammatory factors and lipid peroxidation were further explored by using RT-PCR and ELISA kits, respectively. Results Rotenone dose-dependently induced cognitive deficits in mice by showing decreased performance of rotenone-treated mice in the novel objective recognition, passive avoidance, and Morris water maze compared with that of vehicle controls. Rotenone-induced cognitive decline was associated with neurodegeneration, synaptic loss, and Ser129-phosphorylation of α-synuclein and microglial activation in the hippocampal and cortical regions of mice. A time course experiment revealed that rotenone-induced microglial activation preceded neurodegeneration. Interestingly, microglial depletion by PLX3397 or inactivation by minocycline significantly reduced neuronal damage and α-synuclein pathology as well as improved cognitive performance in rotenone-injected mice. Mechanistically, PLX3397 and minocycline attenuated rotenone-induced astroglial activation and production of cytotoxic factors in mice. Reduced lipid peroxidation was also observed in mice treated with combined PLX3397 or minocycline and rotenonee compared with rotenone alone group. Finally, microglial depletion or inactivation was found to mitigate rotenone-induced neuronal apoptosis. Conclusions Taken together, our findings suggested that microglial activation contributes to cognitive impairments in a rotenone-induced mouse PD model via neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, and apoptosis, providing novel insight into the immunopathogensis of cognitive deficits in PD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a severe subtype of stroke with high mortality and morbidity. Serpin Family E Member 1 (SERPINE1) has been documented to be upregulated following ICH, however, the participation of SERPINE1 in the development of ICH has never been studied. METHODS Hemin was utilized to develop an in vitro model of ICH. Gene levels were evaluated by the use of quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction, Western blot, as well as enzyme-linked immunoassay assay. The activity of caspase-3 was determined using a commercial kit. Cell viability and apoptosis were assessed using 3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay and Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT) d UTP Nick-End Labeling assay. RESULTS SERPINE1 was upregulated in hemin-treated HT22 cells. Silencing of SERPINE1 attenuated hemin-induced inhibition of cell viability. Moreover, knockdown of SERPINE1 repressed hemin-induced apoptosis in HT22 cells, as evidenced by the decrease in the number of TUNEL positive cells, caspase-3 activity, and Bax expression, and the increase in Bcl-2 expression. Meanwhile, knockdown of SERPINE1 repressed hemin-induced inflammation in HT22 cells, as indicated by reduced levels of tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-1β, and inducible nitric oxide synthase. We also found that transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-β1) induced SERPINE1 expression in a dose-dependent manner. Besides, SERPINE1 knockdown attenuated the effects of TGF-β1 on hemin-induced neuronal damage. CONCLUSION TGF-β1-induced SERPINE1 activation exacerbated hemin-induced apoptosis and inflammation in HT22 cells, manifesting a novel mechanism for ICH progression.

Abstract
Proinflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF), with its now appreciated key roles in neurophysiology as well as neuropathophysiology, are sufficiently well-documented to be useful tools for enquiry into the natural history of neurodegenerative diseases. We review the broader literature on TNF to rationalize why abruptly-acquired neurodegenerative states do not exhibit the remorseless clinical progression seen in those states with gradual onsets. We propose that the three typically non-worsening neurodegenerative syndromes, post-stroke, post-traumatic brain injury (TBI), and post cardiac arrest, usually become and remain static because of excess cerebral TNF induced by the initial dramatic peak keeping microglia chronically activated through an autocrine loop of microglial activation through excess cerebral TNF. The existence of this autocrine loop rationalizes post-damage repair with perispinal etanercept and proposes a treatment for cerebral aspects of COVID-19 chronicity. Another insufficiently considered aspect of cerebral proinflammatory cytokines is the fitness of the endogenous cerebral anti-TNF system provided by norepinephrine (NE), generated and distributed throughout the brain from the locus coeruleus (LC). We propose that an intact LC, and therefore an intact NE-mediated endogenous anti-cerebral TNF system, plus the DAMP (damage or danger-associated molecular pattern) input having diminished, is what allows post-stroke, post-TBI, and post cardiac arrest patients a strong long-term survival advantage over Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease sufferers. In contrast, Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease patients remorselessly worsen, being handicapped by sustained, accumulating, DAMP and PAMP (pathogen-associated molecular patterns) input, as well as loss of the LC-origin, NE-mediated, endogenous anti-cerebral TNF system. Adrenergic receptor agonists may counter this.

Abstract
Apart from acute and chronic blood pressure lowering, we have no specific medications to prevent intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) or improve outcomes once bleeding has occurred. One reason for this may be related to particular limitations associated with the current pre-clinical models of ICH, leading to a failure to translate into the clinic. It would seem that a breakdown in the 'drug development pipeline' currently exists for translational ICH research which needs to be urgently addressed. Here, we review the most commonly used pre-clinical models of ICH and discuss their advantages and disadvantages in the context of translational studies. We propose that to increase our chances of successfully identifying new therapeutics for ICH, a bi-directional, 2- or 3-pronged approach using more than one model species/system could be useful for confirming key pre-clinical observations. Furthermore, we highlight that post-mortem/ex-vivo ICH patient material is a precious and underused resource which could play an essential role in the verification of experimental results prior to consideration for further clinical investigation. Embracing multidisciplinary collaboration between pre-clinical and clinical ICH research groups will be essential to ensure the success of this type of approach in the future.

Abstract
Although aging is a major risk factor for intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), there are very few studies comparing ICH pathology between young and early middle-aged mice. In this study, 8-month old mice (early middle-aged mice) were compared against 2-month old mice (young mice) in neurological and histological changes after ICH induction, such as body weight, lesion volume, astrocytic responses, and motor and cognitive functions. At day 8 after ICH, there was no significant difference in lesion volume between the two groups, and both groups did not exhibit significant cognitive decline, as assessed by spontaneous alternative Y-maze test. On the other hand, 8-month old mice showed delayed recovery from body weight loss, along with reduced astrocytic activation. Interestingly, in the two motor function tests (beam-walking test and corner turn test), 8-month old mice exhibited lower scores only in the beam-walking test, suggesting a partial disturbance in motor recovery after ICH. These results suggest that age-related differences in ICH pathology may already start to appear in early middle-aged brains.

Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is as a life-threatening condition that can occur in young adults, often causing long-term disability. Recent preclinical data suggest mesenchymal stromal cell (MSC)-based therapies as promising options to minimize brain damage after ICH. However, therapeutic evidence and mechanistic insights are still limited, particularly when compared with other disorders such as ischemic stroke. Herein, we employed a model of collagenase-induced ICH in young adult rats to investigate the potential therapeutic effects of an intravenous injection of human umbilical cord Wharton's jelly-derived MSCs (hUC-MSCs). Two doses of collagenase were used to cause moderate or severe hemorrhages. Magnetic resonance imaging showed that animals treated with hUC-MSCs after moderate ICH had smaller residual hematoma volumes than vehicle-treated rats, whereas the cell therapy failed to decrease the hematoma volume in animals with a severe ICH. Functional assessments (rotarod and elevated body swing tests) were performed for up to 21 days after ICH. Enduring neurological impairments were seen only in animals subjected to severe ICH, but the cell therapy did not induce statistically significant improvements in the functional recovery. The biodistribution of Technetium-99m-labeled hUC-MSCs was also evaluated, showing that most cells were found in organs such as the spleen and lungs 24 h after transplantation. Nevertheless, it was possible to detect a weak signal in the brain, which was higher in the ipsilateral hemisphere of rats subjected to a severe ICH. These data indicate that hUC-MSCs have moderately beneficial effects in cases of less severe brain hemorrhages in rats by decreasing the residual hematoma volume, and that optimization of the therapy is still necessary.

Abstract
Although many studies have focused on functional impairment after intracerebral hemorrhage, little is known about the relationship between secondary injuries to distal regions and neurological function. Our study aimed to evaluate the secondary injuries after intracerebral hemorrhage and explore their relationship to neurological functional outcome. Twenty-one patients with hemorrhages in supratentorial, deep locations and 10 healthy subjects were recruited. Longitudinal examinations of diffusion tensor imaging, hydrogen proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy imaging and neuropsychological assessment were performed after weeks 1 and 12 to elucidate the relationship between magnetic resonance imaging parameters and neurologic outcomes. By week 12, motor function had significantly improved, but cognitive function had deteriorated compared to week 1. Fractional anisotropy values for the ipsilateral cerebral peduncle correlated with motor function at week 1. No significant correlation between fractional anisotropy for the ipsilateral cerebral peduncle and the Fugl-Meyer Motor Scale was found at week 12. Fractional anisotropy values for the ipsilateral hippocampus were related to the Montreal Cognitive Assessment and Mini-Mental State Examination at weeks 1 and 12. Deep supratentorial hemorrhage may result in injury to distal regions, which correlate with impaired motor and cognitive function.

Abstract
The activation of microglia and inflammatory responses is essential for the process of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH)-induced secondary brain injury (SBI). In this study, we investigated the effects of luteolin on ICH-induced SBI and the potential mechanisms. Autologous blood was injected to establish the ICH model in vivo, and oxyhemoglobin (OxyHb) was used to mimic the ICH model in vitro. We found that the administration of luteolin significantly improved motor and sensory impairments and inhibited neuronal cell degeneration in vivo. In the in vitro study, the decrease of the neuronal cell viability induced by activated microglia was alleviated by luteolin treatment. Furthermore, by antagonizing the activation of the Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)/TNF receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF6)/nuclear transcription factor-κB (NF-κB) signaling pathway, the ICH-induced elevation of cytokine release was decreased after treatment with luteolin, which was confirmed both in vivo and in vitro. Additionally, we found that luteolin engaged with TRAF6 and inhibited the ubiquitination of TRAF6. Taken together, our findings demonstrate the neuroprotective effects of luteolin after ICH and the potential mechanisms, which suggest that luteolin is a potential therapeutic candidate for ICH treatment.

Abstract
Background and Purpose- Microglia are among the first cells to respond to intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), but the mechanisms that underlie their activity following ICH remain unclear. IL (interleukin)-15 is a proinflammatory cytokine that orchestrates homeostasis and the intensity of the immune response following central nervous system inflammatory events. The goal of this study was to investigate the role of IL-15 in ICH injury. Methods- Using brain slices of patients with ICH, we determined the presence and cellular source of IL-15. A transgenic mouse line with targeted expression of IL-15 in astrocytes was generated to determine the role of astrocytic IL-15 in ICH. The expression of IL-15 was controlled by a glial fibrillary acidic protein promoter (GFAP-IL-15tg). ICH was induced by intraparenchymal injection of collagenase or autologous blood. Results- In patients with ICH and wild-type mice subjected to experimental ICH, we found a significant upregulation of IL-15 in astrocytes. In GFAP-IL-15tg mice, we found that astrocyte-targeted expression of IL-15 exacerbated brain edema and neurological deficits following ICH. This aggravated ICH injury in GFAP-IL-15tg mice is accompanied by increased microglial accumulation in close proximity to astrocytes in perihematomal tissues. Additionally, microglial expression of CD86, IL-1β, and TNF-α is markedly increased in GFAP-IL-15tg mice following ICH. Furthermore, depletion of microglia using a colony stimulating factor 1 receptor inhibitor diminishes the exacerbation of ICH injury in GFAP-IL-15tg mice. Conclusions- Our findings identify IL-15 as a mediator of the crosstalk between astrocytes and microglia that exacerbates brain injury following ICH.
