Veliparib exerts protective effects in intracerebral hemorrhage mice by inhibiting the inflammatory response and accelerating hematoma resolution. Brain Res 2024; 1838:148988. [PMID: 38729332 DOI: 10.1016/j.brainres.2024.148988] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/22/2024] [Revised: 03/29/2024] [Accepted: 05/05/2024] [Indexed: 05/12/2024]
Abstract
Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors have potent anti-inflammatory effects, including the suppression of brain microglial activation. Veliparib, a well-known PARP1/2 inhibitor, exhibits particularly high brain penetration, but its effects on stroke outcome is unknown. Here, the effects of veliparib on the short-term outcome of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), the most lethal type of stroke, were investigated. Collagenase-induced mice ICH model was applied, and the T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging was performed to evaluate lesion volume. Motor function and hematoma volume were also measured. We further performed immunofluorescence, enzyme linked immunosorbent assay, flow cytometry, and blood-brain barrier assessment to explore the potential mechanisms. Our results demonstrated veliparib reduced the ICH lesion volume dose-dependently and at a dosage of 5 mg/kg, veliparib significantly improved mouse motor function and promoted hematoma resolution at days 3 and 7 post-ICH. Veliparib inhibited glial activation and downregulated the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Veliparib significantly decreased microglia counts and inhibited peripheral immune cell infiltration into the brain on day 3 after ICH. Veliparib improved blood-brain barrier integrity at day 3 after ICH. These findings demonstrate that veliparib improves ICH outcome by inhibiting inflammatory responses and may represent a promising novel therapy for ICH.

[PMID: 39113115 PMCID: PMC11305076 DOI: 10.1186/s12987-024-00563-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/14/2024] [Accepted: 07/31/2024] [Indexed: 08/10/2024] Open
Abstract
Cognitive decline covers a broad spectrum of disorders, not only resulting from brain diseases but also from systemic diseases, which seriously influence the quality of life and life expectancy of patients. As a highly selective anatomical and functional interface between the brain and systemic circulation, the blood-brain barrier (BBB) plays a pivotal role in maintaining brain homeostasis and normal function. The pathogenesis underlying cognitive decline may vary, nevertheless, accumulating evidences support the role of BBB disruption as the most prevalent contributing factor. This may mainly be attributed to inflammation, metabolic dysfunction, cell senescence, oxidative/nitrosative stress and excitotoxicity. However, direct evidence showing that BBB disruption causes cognitive decline is scarce, and interestingly, manipulation of the BBB opening alone may exert beneficial or detrimental neurological effects. A broad overview of the present literature shows a close relationship between BBB disruption and cognitive decline, the risk factors of BBB disruption, as well as the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying BBB disruption. Additionally, we discussed the possible causes leading to cognitive decline by BBB disruption and potential therapeutic strategies to prevent BBB disruption or enhance BBB repair. This review aims to foster more investigations on early diagnosis, effective therapeutics, and rapid restoration against BBB disruption, which would yield better cognitive outcomes in patients with dysregulated BBB function, although their causative relationship has not yet been completely established.

Stress hyperglycemia is associated with longer ICU length of stay after endoscopic intracerebral hemorrhage evacuation. J Stroke Cerebrovasc Dis 2024; 33:107911. [PMID: 39097120 DOI: 10.1016/j.jstrokecerebrovasdis.2024.107911] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/03/2024] [Revised: 07/15/2024] [Accepted: 07/31/2024] [Indexed: 08/05/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Stress hyperglycemia has been linked to poor outcomes in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Recent studies using the ratio of blood glucose to glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) as a marker for stress hyperglycemia have demonstrated greater discriminative power in predicting poor outcomes for stroke inpatients compared to blood glucose alone. Therefore, we aimed to investigate whether the preoperative glucose-to-HbA1c ratio is a predictor of postoperative outcomes in patients who have undergone minimally invasive ICH evacuation. METHODS Retrospective chart review was performed on ICH patients treated with minimally invasive surgery (MIS) in a single health system from 2015 to 2022. Stress hyperglycemia was defined as preoperative glucose-to-HbA1c ratio > calculated-median. Postoperative outcomes including modified Rankin Score (mRS) and length of stay (LOS) were collected. Univariate analyses were conducted to determine associations. Variables with p<0.05 were included in multivariate analyses. RESULTS Of 192 patients who underwent minimally invasive ICH evacuation and had available glucose data, 96 demonstrated stress hyperglycemia (glucose-to-HbA1c ratio > 1.23). Patients with stress hyperglycemia were more likely to have a history of diabetes (43 % vs. 27 %, p=0.034), IVH (54 % vs. 33 %, p=0.007), higher preoperative hematoma volumes (46.8 ml vs. 38.6 mL, p=0.02), higher postoperative hematoma volumes (6 ml vs. 2.9 mL, p=0.008), smaller evacuation percentages (86.7 % vs. 92.7 %, p=0.048), longer procedure lengths (2.78 hrs vs. 2.23 hrs, p=0.015), and prolonged ICU LOS (9.44 days vs. 5.68 days, p=0.003). In a multivariate analysis, stress hyperglycemia remained predictive of prolonged ICU LOS (OR=2.44; p=0.026) when controlling for initial NIHSS, IVH, time to evacuation, procedure time, and diabetes. CONCLUSIONS Stress hyperglycemia was strongly associated with prolonged ICU LOS after MIS for ICH. Understanding factors associated with LOS may provide predictive value for a patient's hospital course after minimally invasive ICH evacuation and further guide clinician expectations of recovery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the effect of different indicators on stress-induced hyperglycemia for predicting in-hospital outcomes of acute intracerebral hemorrhage. METHODS Using data from the Chinese Stroke Center Alliance database, which is a national, multicenter, prospective, and consecutive program. Stress-induced hyperglycemia was described as glycemic gap (GG, defined as fasting blood glucose [FBG] minus estimated average blood glucose) and stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR, defined as FBG-to-estimated average blood glucose ratio [SHR 1] or FBG-to-HbA1c ratio [SHR 2]). The primary outcome was in-hospital mortality, and the second outcome was hematoma expansion. RESULTS A total of 71,333 patients with acute intracerebral hemorrhage were included. In multivariate analyses, the highest levels of GG (OR 1.68, 95% CI 1.12-2.51), SHR 1 (OR 1.73, 95% CI 1.15-2.60), and SHR 2 (OR 2.07, 95% CI 1.33-3.23) were associated with in-hospital death (all the p trends <0.01). Only the highest level of SHR 2 (OR 1.24 [1.02-1.51], p trend >0.05) was related to hematoma expansion. No association between GG or SHR 1 and hematoma expansion was observed. The areas under the ROC curve of GG, SHR 1, and SHR 2 for in-hospital mortality were 0.8808 (95% CI 0.8603-0.9014), 0.8796 (95% CI 0.8589-0.9002), and 0.8806 (95% CI 0.8600-0.9012). The areas under the ROC curve of SHR 2 for hematoma expansion were 0.7133 (95% CI 0.6964-0.7302). INTERPRETATION SHR (FBG-to-HbA1c ratio) was associated with both in-hospital death and hematoma expansion in intracerebral hemorrhage, and might serve as an accessory indicator for the in-hospital prognosis of intracerebral hemorrhage.

Prognostic significance of the stress hyperglycemia ratio and admission blood glucose in diabetic and nondiabetic patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage. Diabetol Metab Syndr 2024; 16:58. [PMID: 38438889 PMCID: PMC10910766 DOI: 10.1186/s13098-024-01293-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/03/2024] [Accepted: 02/15/2024] [Indexed: 03/06/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The role of stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR) on the prognosis of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) in patients with different diabetic status has not been elucidated. This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of SHR and admission blood glucose (ABG) for the short- and long-term mortality in diabetic and nondiabetic populations with ICH. METHOD Participants with ICH were retrospectively retrieved from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care (MIMIC-IV). The primary outcome was all-cause 30-day and 1-year mortality. The association of SHR and ABG with the primary outcomes in diabetic and nondiabetic cohorts were assessed by Cox proportional hazard regression. RESULTS Overall, 1029 patients with a median age of 71.09 (IQR: 60.05-81.97) were included. Among them, 548 (53%) individuals were male, and 95 (19%) as well as 323 (31%) ones experienced the 30-day and 1-year mortality, respectively. After adjusting for confounding variables, individuals in quintile 5 of SHR had significantly higher risk of the 30-day and 1-year mortality than those in quintile 1 in the whole cohort (30-day mortality: HR 3.33, 95%CI 2.01-5.51; 1-year mortality: HR 2.09, 95% CI 1.46-3.00) and in nondiabetic patients (30-day mortality: HR 4.55, 95%CI 2.33-8.88; 1-year mortality: HR 3.06, 95%CI 1.93-4.86), but no significant difference was observed in diabetic patients. Similar results were observed for ABG as a categorical variable. As continuous variable, SHR was independently correlated with the 30-day and 1-year mortality in both of the diabetic and nondiabetic cohorts (30-day mortality: HR 2.63, 95%CI 1.50-4.60. 1-year mortality: HR 2.12, 95%CI 1.33-3.39), but this correlation was only observed in nondiabetic cohort for ABG (HR 1.00, 95%CI 0.99-1.01 for both of the 30-day and 1-year mortality). Moreover, compared with ABG, SHR can better improve the C-statistics of the original models regarding the 30-day and 1-year outcomes, especially in patients with diabetes (p < 0.001 in all models). CONCLUSION SHR might be a more useful and reliable marker than ABG for prognostic prediction and risk stratification in critically ill patients with ICH, especially in those with diabetes.

Abstract
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a lethal stroke with high mortality or disability. However, effective therapy for ICH damage is generally lacking. Previous investigations have suggested that lysosomal protein transmembrane 5 (LAPTM5) is involved in various pathological processes, including autophagy, apoptosis, and inflammation. In this study, we aimed to identify the expression and functions of LAPTM5 in collagenase-induced ICH mouse models and hemoglobin-induced cell models. We found that LAPTM5 was highly expressed in brain tissues around the hematoma, and double immunostaining studies showed that LAPTM5 was co-expressed with microglia cells, neurons, and astrocytes. Following ICH, the mice presented increased brain edema, blood-brain barrier permeability, and neurological deficits, while pathological symptoms were alleviated after the LAPTM5 knockdown. Adeno-associated virus 9-mediated downregulation of LAPTM5 also improves ICH-induced secondary cerebral damage, including neuronal degeneration, the polarization of M1-like microglia, and inflammatory cascades. Furthermore, LAPTM5 promoted activation of the nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) pathway in response to neuroinflammation. Further investigations indicated that brain injury improved by LAPTM5 knockdown was further exacerbated after the overexpression of receptor-interacting protein kinase 1 (RIP1), which is revealed to trigger the NF-κB pathway. In vitro experiments demonstrated that LAPTM5 silencing inhibited hemoglobin-induced cell function and confirmed regulation between RIP1 and LAPTM5. In conclusion, the present study indicates that LAPTM5 may act as a positive regulator in the context of ICH by modulating the RIP1/NF-κB pathway. Thus, it may be a candidate gene for further study of molecular or therapeutic targets.

Abstract
Objective Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy can lead to lifelong morbidity and premature death in full-term newborns. Here, we aimed to determine the efficacy of diffusion kurtosis (DK) [mean kurtosis (MK)] and diffusion tensor (DT) [fractional anisotropy (FA), mean diffusion (MD), axial diffusion (AD), and radial diffusion (RD)] parameters for the early diagnosis of early brain histopathological changes and the prediction of neurodegenerative events in a full-term neonatal hypoxic-ischemic brain injury (HIBD) rat model. Methods The HIBD model was generated in postnatal day 7 Sprague-Dawley rats to assess the changes in DK and DT parameters in 10 specific brain structural regions involving the gray matter, white matter, and limbic system during acute (12 h) and subacute (3 d and 5 d) phases after hypoxic ischemia (HI), which were validated against histology. Sensory and cognitive parameters were assessed by the open field, novel object recognition, elevated plus maze, and CatWalk tests. Results Repeated-measures ANOVA revealed that specific brain structures showed similar trends to the lesion, and the temporal pattern of MK was substantially more varied than DT parameters, particularly in the deep gray matter. The change rate of MK in the acute phase (12 h) was significantly higher than that of DT parameters. We noted a delayed pseudo-normalization for MK. Additionally, MD, AD, and RD showed more pronounced differences between males and females after HI compared to MK, which was confirmed in behavioral tests. HI females exhibited anxiolytic hyperactivity-like baseline behavior, while the memory ability of HI males was affected in the novel object recognition test. CatWalk assessments revealed chronic deficits in limb gait parameters, particularly the left front paw and right hind paw, as well as poorer performance in HI males than HI females. Conclusions Our results suggested that DK and DT parameters were complementary in the immature brain and provided great value in assessing early tissue microstructural changes and predicting long-term neurobehavioral deficits, highlighting their ability to detect both acute and long-term changes. Thus, the various diffusion coefficient parameters estimated by the DKI model are powerful tools for early HIBD diagnosis and prognosis assessment, thus providing an experimental and theoretical basis for clinical treatment.

Abstract
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a disastrous disease without effective treatment. An extensive body of evidence indicate that neuronal ferroptosis is a key contributor to neurological disfunctions after ICH. Omarigliptin, also known as MK3102, is an anti-diabetic drug that inhibits dipeptidyl peptidase (DPP4). Recently, MK3102 is reported to exhibit anti-ferroptosis and anti-oxidative effects in different pathological conditions. However, the anti-ferroptosis ability of MK3102 in ICH injury is unknown. Hemin was administrated to model ICH injury in cultured primary cortical neurons, and collagenase VII was used to induce ICH in C57BL/6 mice. MK3102 was administered after ICH. Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) was applied to detect cell viability. Neurological functions were assessed through the Focal deficits neurological scores and corner test. HE and TUNEL staining was applied to evaluate brain damage areas and cell death, respectively. Ferroptosis was evaluated in cultured neurons by fluorescent probe DCFH-DA, FerroOrange, Liperfluo and immunofluorescence of GPX4, AIFM2 and FACL4. Perls staining was performed to visualize Fe3+ deposition. Ferroptosis-related proteins in mouse brain were measured by immunohistochemistry and western blotting. MK3102 reduced the neurotoxicity of hemin in cultured primary cortical neurons. It improved neurological functions associated with a decrease in the number of dead neurons and the area of brain damage after ICH in mice. Moreover, MK3102 prominently upregulated glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) levels after ICH. In addition, the elevation of iron content, lipid peroxidation and FACL4 after ICH; and reduction of GPX4 and AIFM2; were mitigated by MK3102 in vitro and in vivo. The neuroprotective effect of MK3102 may be related to anti-ferroptosis by regulating GLP-1R after ICH injury.

Pre-stroke glycemic variability estimated by glycated albumin predicts hematoma expansion and poor outcomes in patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage. Sci Rep 2023; 13:12848. [PMID: 37553363 PMCID: PMC10409739 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-40109-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/07/2023] [Accepted: 08/04/2023] [Indexed: 08/10/2023] Open
Abstract
Glycemic variability has been shown to be correlated more with oxidative stress than chronic hyperglycemia. We evaluated the impact of pre-stroke glycemic variability measured using glycated albumin (GA) on hematoma expansion and clinical outcomes following spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). We consecutively enrolled 343 patients with ICH for 72 months using a single-center registry database. The primary outcome measure was hematoma expansion. The secondary outcome measures were early neurological deterioration (END), 1-month mortality, and 3-month poor functional outcomes (modified Rankin scale score of 4-6). The patients were divided into two groups based on pre-stroke glycemic variability: a higher GA group (GA ≥ 16.0%) and a lower GA group (GA < 16.0%). During the study period, there were 63 (18.4%) events of hematoma expansion, 61 (17.8%) of END, 45 (13.1%) of 1-month mortality, and 45 (13.1%) of 3-month poor functional outcomes after ICH. The higher GA group (36.4%) had higher rates of hematoma expansion, END, 1-month mortality, and 3-month poor functional outcomes than the lower GA group. Multivariate analysis showed that a higher GA level was significantly associated with increased hematoma expansion (adjusted odds ratio 5.83; 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.58-13.19, p < 0.001). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of GA (0.83; 95% CI 0.48-0.65) for predicting hematoma expansion was higher than that of glycated hemoglobin (0.57; 95% CI 0.48-0.65, p for DeLong's pairwise comparison < 0.001). Higher GA levels could be a reliable marker for predicting hematoma expansion and poor outcomes following ICH.

Abstract
Purpose Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a fatal disease without effective treatment. The damage of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a key cause of brain edema and herniation after ICH. Omarigliptin (also known as MK3102) is a potent antidiabetic that inhibits dipeptidyl peptidase (DPP4); the latter has the ability to bind and degrade matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). The present study aims to investigate the protective effects of omarigliptin against the destruction of BBB following ICH in mice. Methods and Materials Collagenase VII was used to induce ICH in C57BL/6 mice. MK3102 (7 mg/kg/day) was administered after ICH. The modified neurological severity scores (mNSS) were carried out to assess neurological functions. Nissl staining was applied to evaluate neuronal loss. Brain water content, Evans blue extravasation, Western blots, immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence were used to study the protective effects of BBB with MK3102 at 3 days after ICH. Results MK3102 reduced DPP4 expression and decreased hematoma formation and neurobehavioral deficits of ICH mice. This was correspondent with lowered activation of microglia/macrophages and infiltration of neutrophils after ICH. Importantly, MK3102 protected the integrity of the BBB after ICH, associated with decreased expression of MMP-9, and preservation of the tight junction proteins ZO-1 and Occludin on endothelial cells through putative degradation of MMP-9, and inhibition of the expression of CX43 on astrocytes. Conclusion Omarigliptin protects the integrity of the BBB in mice after ICH injury.

Abstract
BACKGROUND At least one-third of Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients have cerebrovascular abnormalities, micro- and macro-infarctions, and ischemic white matter alterations. Stroke prognosis impacts AD development due to vascular disease. Hyperglycemia can readily produce vascular lesions and atherosclerosis, increasing the risk of cerebral ischemia. Our previous studies have proved that protein O-GlcNAcylation-a dynamic and reversible post-translational modification, protects against ischemic stroke. However, the role of O-GlcNAcylation in hyperglycemia aggravating cerebral ischemia injury remained unclear. OBJECTIVE In the present study, we investigated the role and mechanism of protein O-GlcNAcylation in hyperglycemia exacerbating cerebral ischemia injury. METHODS High glucose-cultured brain microvascular endothelial (bEnd3) cells were injured by oxygen-glucose deprivation. Cell viability was used as the assay result. Stroke outcomes and hemorrhagic transformation incidence were assessed in mice after middle cerebral artery occlusion under high glucose and streptozotocin-induced hyperglycemic conditions. Western blot estimated that O-GlcNAcylation influenced apoptosis levels in vitro and in vivo. RESULTS In in vitro analyses showed that Thiamet-G induces upregulation of protein O-GlcNAcylation, which attenuates oxygen-glucose deprivation/R-induce injury in bEnd3 cells cultured under normal glucose conditions, while aggravated it under high glucose conditions. In in vivo analyses, Thiamet-G exacerbated cerebral ischemic injury and induced hemorrhagic transformation, accompanied by increased apoptosis. While blocking protein O-GlcNAcylation with 6-diazo-5-oxo-L-norleucine alleviated cerebral injury of ischemic stroke in different hyperglycemic mice. CONCLUSION Overall, our study indicates a critical role for O-GlcNAcylation in that hyperglycemia aggravates cerebral ischemia injury. O-GlcNAcylation may be a potential therapeutic drug for ischemic stroke associated with AD.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) is a term that defines a group of unstable compounds derived from exogenous sources or endogenous metabolism. Under physiological conditions, low levels of ROS play a key role in the regulation of signal transduction- or transcription-mediated cellular responses. In contrast, excessive and uncontrolled loading of ROS results in a pathological state known as oxidative stress (OS), a leading contributor to aging and a pivotal factor for the onset and progression of many disorders. Evolution has endowed cells with an antioxidant system involved in stabilizing ROS levels to a specific threshold, preserving ROS-induced signalling function and limiting negative side effects. In mammals, a great deal of evidence indicates that females defence against ROS is more proficient than males, determining a longer lifespan and lower incidence of most chronic diseases. In this review, we will summarize the most recent sex-related differences in the regulation of redox homeostasis. We will highlight the peculiar aspects of the antioxidant defence in sex-biased diseases whose onset or progression is driven by OS, and we will discuss the molecular, genetic, and evolutionary determinants of female proficiency to cope with ROS.

Abstract
For post-menopausal women, stroke is complicated by the variable effects of estrogen therapy and the age-related therapeutic consequences involved. Estrogen therapy has been shown to have an age-dimorphic effect, which is neuroprotective in young females, but non-neuroprotective, even neurotoxic in acyclic females. We hypothesized that arterial baroreflex (ABR) and its downstream acetylcholine-α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α7nAChR) anti-inflammatory pathways are involved in estrogen efficacy toward cerebral ischemic damage. Our data showed that estrogen supplements contributed to ABR improvement and neuroprotection in adult, not aged, ovariectomized (OVX) rats. In adult rats, OVX-induced estrogen deficiency aggravated middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO), which induced brain infarction and reduced ABR function, with decreased α7nAChR expression of the brain and exaggerated inflammation following MCAO; these effects were significantly prevented by supplementation with estrogen. ABR impairment by sinoaortic denervation partly attenuated the estrogen effect on baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) and ischemic damage in adult rats, as well as α7nAChR expression and inflammatory response. These data suggested that ABR and acetylcholine-α7nAChR anti-inflammatory pathways are involved in the neuroprotection of estrogen in adult OVX rats. In contrast, aged rats exhibited more severe ischemic damage and inflammatory response than adult rats, as well as poorer baroreflex function and lower α7nAChR expression. Estrogen supplements did not improve BRS or confer neuroprotection in aged rats without affecting brain α7nAChR and post-ischemic inflammation. Most importantly, ketanserin restored ABR function and significantly postponed the onset of stroke in aged female strokeprone spontaneously hypertensive rats, whereas estrogen treatment failed to delay the development of stroke. Our findings reveal that estrogen is protective against ischemic stroke (IS) in adult female rats and that ABR played a role in this beneficial action. Dysfunction of ABR and unresponsiveness to estrogen in aged female rats may contribute to a reduced estrogen efficacy against cerebral ischemia.

Abstract
The response of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) following a stroke, including subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), has been studied extensively. The main components of this reaction are endothelial cells, pericytes, and astrocytes that affect microglia, neurons, and vascular smooth muscle cells. SAH induces alterations in individual BBB cells, leading to brain homeostasis disruption. Recent experiments have uncovered many pathophysiological cascades affecting the BBB following SAH. Targeting some of these pathways is important for restoring brain function following SAH. BBB injury occurs immediately after SAH and has long-lasting consequences, but most changes in the pathophysiological cascades occur in the first few days following SAH. These changes determine the development of early brain injury as well as delayed cerebral ischemia. SAH-induced neuroprotection also plays an important role and weakens the negative impact of SAH. Supporting some of these beneficial cascades while attenuating the major pathophysiological pathways might be decisive in inhibiting the negative impact of bleeding in the subarachnoid space. In this review, we attempt a comprehensive overview of the current knowledge on the molecular and cellular changes in the BBB following SAH and their possible modulation by various drugs and substances.

Abstract
Background: Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a debilitating and fatal condition with continuously rising incidence globally, without effective treatment available. Zhilong Huoxue Tongyu (ZLHXTY) capsule is a traditional Chinese medicine that is used for ICH treatment in China. However, the evidence based mechanism is not clear. Purpose: To study the protective effects of ZLHXTY capsules against ICH pathogenesis via targetting nuclear factor kappa β (NFкβ) canonical signalling pathway. Methods: C57BL/6 J mice ICH models using autologous blood injection were used to study the effect of ZLHXTY (1.4 g/kg P.O.) after 24 and 72 hrs of ICH induction. The neurological scoring, corner turn test and balance beam with scoring was performed to assess neurological damage. Hematoxylin/eosin and nissl staining was used for histopathological evaluation. Levels of TNFα, NFкB, iNOS, COX2, IL1, IL6 were measured using real time qPCR and western blotting. Protein levels of IKKβ and IкBα were analyzed through western blotting. Immunofluorescence for co-expression of NeuN/TNFα, NeuN/NFкB, Iba1/TNFα, and Iba1/NFкB was also performed. Results: Treatment with ZLHXTY capsules after ICH ameliorated inflammatory brain injury after 24 and 72 h; revealed by neurological scoring, hematoxylin/eosin and nissl staining. The qPCR and western blot analyses demonstrated significant downregulation of TNFα, NFкB, iNOS, COX2, IL1β and IL6. Further, the IKKβ and IкBα revealed significant downregulation and upregulation respectively in western blot. Immunofluorescence also revealed attenuated expression of TNFα and NFкB in neurons and also low expression of Iba1. Conclusion: ZLHXTY capsules elicit its neuroprotective effect by targetting the NFкβ canonical signalling pathway, thereby ameliorating the ICH induced brain injury.

Abstract
This research aimed to investigate the estrogen-like effects of Leonurine hydrochloride (Leo). First, we developed a total synthesis of Leo from 3,4,5-trimethoxy-benzoic acid and the structure was confirmed through 1H NMR and mass spectrometry (MS). Then the estrogenic activity of Leo in vitro and in vivo was studied. The proliferation and proliferation inhibitory effects of Leo on MCF-7 cells and MDA-MB-231 cells indicate that Leo exerts estrogen-like effects through estrogen receptor α (ERα) and estrogen receptor β((ERβ) in vitro. Uterotrophic assay in juvenile mice showed that Leo has an estrogen-like effect in vivo, as it can promote the development of the uterus of juvenile mice, increase its uterine coefficient and the size of the uterine cavity, as well as the increased number of uterine glands and the thickened uterine wall. For further research, cyclophosphamide (CTX) was used to establish a mouse model of ovarian function decline. Through this model, we found that Leo can restore the estrous cycle of mice, increase the number of primordial and primary follicles in the ovaries of mice, and regulate the disordered hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian (HPOA) axis of mice. Finally, the pharmacokinetics of Leo was studied and oral bioavailability of Leo was calculated to be 2.21%. Leo was synthesized and the estrogen-like effect in vitro and in vivo was confirmed as well as its pharmacokinetics.

Abstract
PURPOSE Intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) is characterized as bleeding into the brain tissue, intracranial space, and ventricles and is the second most disabling form of stroke. Hematoma expansion (HE) following ICH has been correlated with significant neurological decline and death. For early detection of patients at risk, deep learning prediction models were developed to predict whether hematoma due to ICH will expand. This study aimed to explore the feasibility of HE prediction using a radiomic approach to help clinicians better stratify HE patients and tailor intensive therapies timely and effectively. MATERIALS AND METHODS Two hundred ICH patients with known hematoma evolution, were enrolled in this study. An open-source python package was utilized for the extraction of radiomic features from both non-contrast computed tomography (NCCT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans through characterization algorithms. A total of 99 radiomic features were extracted and different features were selected for network inputs for the NCCT and MR models. Seven supervised classifiers: Support Vector Machine, Naïve Bayes, Decision Tree, Random Forest, Logistic Regression, K-Nearest Neighbor and Multilayer Perceptron were used to build the models. A training:testing split of 80:20 and 20 iterations of Monte Carlo cross validation were performed to prevent overfitting and assess the variability of the networks, respectively. The models were fed training datasets from which they learned to classify the data based on pre-determined radiomic categories. RESULTS The highest sensitivity among the NCCT classifier models was seen with the support vector machine (SVM) and logistic regression (LR) of 72 ± 0.3% and 73 ± 0.5%, respectively. The MRI classifier models had the highest sensitivity of 68 ± 0.5% and 72 ± 0.5% for the SVM and LR models, respectively. CONCLUSIONS This study indicates that the NCCT radiomics model is a better predictor of HE and that SVM and LR classifiers are better predictors of HE due to their more cautious approach indicated by a higher sensitivity metric.

Ther Adv Neurol Disord 2022; 15:17562864211070681. [PMID: 35082921 PMCID: PMC8785298 DOI: 10.1177/17562864211070681] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/26/2021] [Accepted: 12/13/2021] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Different from diabetic hyperglycemia, stress-induced hyperglycemia (SIH) can better reflect elevated blood glucose owing to intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). However, studies about the outcome of ICH patients with SIH are still very limited. AIMS This study aimed to investigate whether SIH measured by stress-induced hyperglycemia ratio (SHR) was associated with hematoma expansion and poor outcomes in patients with ICH. METHODS A consecutive series of patients with spontaneous ICH from two clinical centers admitted within 24 h after symptom onset were enrolled for prospective analysis. SHR was defined as admission fasting blood glucose divided by estimated average glucose [1.59 × Hemoglobin A1c (%) - 2.59]. This study investigated the association between SHR and hematoma expansion, and short-term and long-term poor outcomes using univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses. RESULTS A total of 313 ICH patients were enrolled in the study. SHR was markedly higher in patients with hematoma expansion and poor outcomes (p < 0.001). The multivariate logistic regression analysis demonstrated SHR independently associated with hematoma expansion (p < 0.001) and poor outcomes, including secondary neurological deterioration within 48 h, 30-day mortality, and 3-month poor modified Rankin Scale (mRS 4-6) (p < 0.001), while the blood glucose only predicted 30-day mortality. Meanwhile, the diagnostic accuracy of SHR exhibited by area under the curve in receiver operating characteristic analysis was statistically equal to or higher than the well-known predictors. CONCLUSION SHR is a reliable predictor for early hematoma expansion and poor outcomes in patients with ICH.

MicroRNA Transcriptomics Analysis Identifies Dysregulated Hedgehog Signaling Pathway in a Mouse Model of Acute Intracerebral Hemorrhage Exposed to Hyperglycemia. J Stroke Cerebrovasc Dis 2022; 31:106281. [PMID: 35026495 DOI: 10.1016/j.jstrokecerebrovasdis.2021.106281] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/08/2021] [Revised: 10/22/2021] [Accepted: 12/19/2021] [Indexed: 11/22/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Hyperglycemia is often observed in the patients after acute stroke. This study aims to elucidate the potential effect and mechanism of hyperglycemia by screening microRNAs expression in intracerebral hemorrhage mice. METHODS We employed the collagenase model of intracerebral hemorrhage. Twenty male C57BL/6 mice were used and randomly divided in normo- and hyperglycemic. The hyperglycemia was induced by intraperitoneally injection of 50% of Dextrose (8 mL/kg) 3 hours after intracerebral hemorrhage. The neurologic impairment was investigated by neurologic deficit scale. To study the specific mechanisms of hyperglycemia, microRNAs expression in perihematomal area was investigated by RNA sequencing. MicroRNAs expression in hyperglycemic intracerebral hemorrhage animals were compared normoglycemic mice. Functional annotation analysis was used to indicate potential pathological pathway, underlying observed effects. Finally, polymerase chain reaction validation was administered. RESULTS Intraperitoneal injection of dextrose significantly increased blood glucose level. That was associated with aggravation of neurological deficits in hyperglycemic compared to normoglycemic animals. A total of 73 differentially expressed microRNAs were identified via transcriptomics analysis. Bioinformatics analyses showed that these microRNAs were significantly altered in several signaling pathways, of which the hedgehog signaling pathway was regarded as the most potential pathway associated with the effect of hyperglycemia on acute intracerebral hemorrhage. Furthermore, polymerase chain reaction results validated the correlation between microRNAs and hedgehog signaling pathway. CONCLUSIONS MicroRNA elevated in hyperglycemia group may be involved in worsening the neurological function via inhibiting the hedgehog signaling, which provides a novel molecular physiological mechanism and lays the foundation for treatment of intracerebral hemorrhage.

Activation of AdipoR1 with rCTRP9 Preserves BBB Integrity through the APPL1/AMPK/Nrf2 Signaling Pathway in ICH Mice. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2021; 2021:2801263. [PMID: 34925690 PMCID: PMC8674037 DOI: 10.1155/2021/2801263] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/28/2021] [Accepted: 11/06/2021] [Indexed: 12/26/2022]
Abstract
Background The disruption of the blood brain barrier (BBB) is the key factor leading to neurological impairment after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) injury. Adiponectin receptor 1 (AdipoR1) has an important effect contributing to the integrity of BBB. As a homologue of adiponectin, recombinant C1q/TNF-related protein 9 (rCTRP9) has neuroprotective effect in cerebrovascular diseases. The aim of this study was to investigate the protective effect of AdipoR1 activation with rCTRP9 on BBB integrity after ICH injury and the potential mechanisms. Methods 177 male mice were subjected in this study. ICH was induced by injecting collagenase into the right basal ganglia. rCTRP9 was treated intranasally at 1 hour after ICH. Selective siRNA was administered prior to ICH. Western blot, immunofluorescence staining, neurobehavioral tests, and BBB permeability were evaluated. Results ICH increased the expression of endogenous AdipoR1 and CTRP9. Administration of rCTRP9 ameliorated neurological deficits and reduced the BBB permeability at 24 hours in ICH mice. Furthermore, rCTRP9 promoted the expression of AdipoR1, APPL1, p-AMPK, Nrf2, and tight junctional proteins. The intervention of specific siRNA of AdipoR1, APPL1, and p-AMPK reversed the protective effects of rCTRP9. Conclusions Activation of AdipoR1 with rCTRP9 improved neurological functions and preserved BBB integrity through the APPL1/AMPK/Nrf2 signaling pathway in ICH mice. Therefore, CTRP9 could serve as a promising therapeutic method to alleviate BBB injury following ICH in patients.

Abstract
Sirt1, a member of the sirtuins family, is a nicotinamide adenosine dinucleotide (NAD+)-dependent deacetylase. It can be involved in the regulation of several processes including inflammatory response, apoptosis, oxidative stress, energy metabolism, and autophagy by exerting deacetylation. Nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB), a crucial nuclear transcription factor with specific DNA binding sequences, exists in almost all cells and plays a vital role in several biological processes involving inflammatory response, immune response, and apoptosis. As the hub of multiple intracellular signaling pathways, the activity of NF-κB is regulated by multiple factors. Sirt1 can both directly deacetylate NF-κB and indirectly through other molecules to inhibit its activity. We would like to emphasize that Sirt1/NF-κB is a signaling pathway that is closely related to neuroinflammation. Many recent studies have demonstrated the neuroprotective effects of Sirt1/NF-κB signaling pathway activation applied to the treatment of neurological related diseases. In this review, we focus on new advances in the neuroprotective effects of the Sirt1/NF-κB pathway. First, we briefly review Sirt1 and NF-κB, two key molecules of cellular metabolism. Next, we discuss the connection between NF-κB and neuroinflammation. In addition, we explore how Sirt1 regulates NF-κB in nerve cells and relevant evidence. Finally, we analyze the therapeutic effects of the Sirt1/NF-κB pathway in several common neuroinflammation-related diseases.

Abstract
Rolipram specifically inhibits phosphodiesterase (PDE) 4, thereby preventing inactivation of the intracellular second messenger cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP). Rolipram has been shown to play a neuroprotective role in some central nervous system (CNS) diseases. However, the role of PDE4 and the potential protective effect of rolipram on the pathophysiological process of intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) are still not entirely clear. In this study, a mouse model of ICH was established by the collagenase method. Rolipram reduced brain oedema, blood–brain barrier (BBB) leakage, neuronal apoptosis and inflammatory cytokine release and improved neurological function in our mouse model of ICH. Moreover, rolipram increased the levels of cAMP and silent information regulator 1 (SIRT1) and upregulated the phosphorylation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). Furthermore, these effects of rolipram could be reversed by the SIRT1 inhibitor sirtinol. In conclusion, rolipram can play a neuroprotective role in the pathological process of ICH by activating the cAMP/AMPK/SIRT1 pathway.

Abstract
Our previous study revealed that G-protein-coupled estrogen receptor-30 (GPR30) agonist G1 serves as a viable alternative neuroprotectant of 17β-estradiol (E2) to attenuate neuroinflammation and improve cognitive function after global cerebral ischemia (GCI). Aromatase, the key enzyme of E2 biosynthesis, is widely expressed in animal and human brain, and its expression and activity are mediated by selective estrogen receptor modulators. In the present study, we explored the long-term protective and reparative effects of G1 in ovariectomized rats after GCI. We used the aromatase inhibitor letrozole to elucidate whether G1 and brain-derived E2 together induce beneficial effects. Our results showed that G1 administration for 28 days a) significantly increased neurogenesis in the hippocampal sub-granular zone and CA1 regions; b) declined CA1 neuronal impairment in a long-term fashion; c) enhanced expression of synaptic proteins and cognitive function; d) and prevented reactive astrocytes loss, wherein aromatase and brain-derived estrogen levels were markedly increased. Additionally, expression and activation of transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) were increased in CA1 astrocytes of G1-treated animals. Letrozole abolished all of the observed benefits of G1. Our results suggest that GPR30 activation mediates long-term neuroprotection and neurogenesis in the hippocampus following GCI, with potential mechanism coupling with the activation of astroglial aromatase-STAT3 signaling.

Abstract
Estrogen is neuroprotective in brain injury models, and steroid receptor cofactor 3 (SRC3) mediates estrogen signaling. We aimed to investigate whether and how SRC3 is involved in the neuroprotective effects of 17ß-estradiol (E2) in a mouse model of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Ovariectomized female mice were treated with E2 after autologous blood injection-induced ICH. Brain damage was assessed by neurological deficit score, brain water content, and oxidative stress levels. Blood–brain barrier (BBB) integrity was evaluated by Evan's blue extravasation and claudin-5, ZO-1, and occludin levels. SRC3 expression and PI3K/Akt signaling pathway were examined in ICH mice treated with E2. The effect of SRC3 on E2-mediated neuroprotection was determined by examining neurological outcomes in SRC3-deficient mice undergone ICH and E2 treatment. We found that E2 alleviated ICH-induced brain edema and neurological deficits, protected BBB integrity, and suppressed oxidative stress. E2 enhanced SRC3 expression and PI3K-/Akt signaling pathway. SRC3 deficiency abolished the protective effects of E2 on ICH-induced neurological deficits, brain edema, and BBB integrity. Our results suggest that E2 suppresses ICH-induced brain injury and SRC3 plays a critical role in E2-mediated neuroprotection.

Abstract
AIMS Secondary bleeding and further hematoma expansion (HE) aggravate brain injury after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). The majority of HE results from hypertensive ICH. Previous study reported higher iron content in the brains of hypertensive patients. Iron overload exacerbates the risk of hemorrhagic transformation in thromboembolic stroke mice. Whether iron overload during the process of hypertension participates in secondary bleeding of hypertensive ICH remains unclear. METHODS Hypertension was induced by continuous infusion of angiotensin II (Ang II) with an osmotic pump into C57BL/6 mice. ICH was simulated by intrastriatal injection of the liquid polymer Onyx-18. Iron chelation and iron overload was achieved by deferoxamine mesylate or iron dextran injection. Secondary bleeding was quantified by measuring the hemoglobin content in the ipsilateral brain hemisphere. RESULTS Ang II-induced hypertensive mice showed increased iron accumulation in the brain and expanded secondary hemorrhage after ICH modeling. Moreover, iron chelation suppressed while iron overload aggravated secondary bleeding. Mechanistically, iron exacerbated the loss of contractile cerebral vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), aggravated blood-brain barrier (BBB) leakage in Ang II-induced hypertensive mice, and increased glial and MMP9 accumulation after ICH. CONCLUSION Iron overload plays a key role in secondary bleeding after ICH in Ang II-induced hypertensive mice. Iron chelation during the process of Ang II-induced hypertension suppresses secondary bleeding after ICH.

Abstract
RATIONALE Hematoma expansion (HE) aggravates brain injury after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and hypertension is a key contributor to HE. Plasma kallikrein (PK) is involved in hemorrhagic transformation in ischemic stroke mice. This study was conducted to explore the role of PK in HE in hypertensive ICH. METHODS Hypertension was achieved by continuous infusion of angiotensin II (Ang II) with an osmotic pump in C57BL/6 mice. ICH was achieved by stereotactic intrastriatal injection of blood. PK-specific antibody and platelet glycoprotein VI (GPVI) agonists were administered to intervene in hematoma expansion. The hematoma volume was indicated by the erythrocyte components hemoglobin and carbonic anhydrase-1 in the ipsilateral brain hemisphere. RESULTS Ang II-induced hypertensive mice showed enhanced hematoma expansion and worsened neurologic deficits after ICH modeling. Moreover, intrastriatal injection of blood from Ang II-treated mice into normal mice increased the area of secondary hemorrhage more than blood from untreated mice. Mechanistically, elevated PK was found in Ang II-infused mice whereas, inhibition of PK and administration of the GPVI agonist convulxin decreased hematoma expansion and improved neurologic deficits after ICH. CONCLUSIONS These findings suggest that PK inhibition and GPVI agonist treatment might serve as potential methods to intervene in HE after ICH.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common syndrome associated with high morbidity and mortality, despite progress in medical care. Many studies have shown that there are sex differences and different role of sex hormones particularly estrogens in kidney injury. In this regard, the incidence and rate of progression of kidney diseases are higher in men compared with women. These observations suggest that female sex hormone may be renoprotective. Silent information regulator 2 homolog 1 (SIRT1) is a histone deacetylase, which is implicated in multiple biologic processes in several organisms. In the kidneys, SIRT1 inhibits renal cell apoptosis, inflammation, and fibrosis. Studies have reported a link between SIRT1 and estrogen. In addition, SIRT1 regulates ERα expression and inhibition of SIRT1 activity suppresses ERα expression. This effect leads to inhibition of estrogen-responsive gene expression. In this text, we review the role of SIRT1 in mediating the protective effects of estrogen in the onset and progression of AKI.

Abstract
Nuclear factor (NF)-κB-mediated neuroinflammation is an important mechanism of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH)-induced neurotoxicity. Silent information regulator 1 (SIRT1) plays a multi-protective effect in a variety of diseases by deacetylating and inhibiting NF-κB/p65. However, the role of SIRT1 in brain damage following ICH remains unclear. We hypothesized that SIRT1 can protect against ICH-induced brain damage by inhibiting neuroinflammation through deacetylating NF-κB/p65. The ICH model was induced in vivo (with collagenase) and in vitro (with hemoglobin). Resveratrol and Ex527 were administered to activate or inhibit SIRT1, respectively. Western blot, immunohistochemistry, and immunofluorescence assays were performed to detect the expression of SIRT1 and p65. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) were used to explore tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and interleukin (IL)-1β release. The neurological score, brain water content, terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) staining, and brain hemoglobin content were determined to evaluate the neuroprotective effect of SIRT1. SIRT1 expression was decreased, whereas the level of acetylated p65 (Ac-p65) was elevated after ICH in vivo. Moreover, hemoglobin treatment decreased the expression of SIRT1 in vitro. Activation of SIRT1 by resveratrol had a neuroprotective effect, along with decreased levels of Ac-p65, IL-1β, TNF-α, and apoptosis after ICH. The effect of resveratrol was abolished by the SIRT1 inhibitor Ex527. Our results are consistent with the hypothesis that SIRT1 exerts a neuroprotective effect after ICH by deacetylating p65 to inhibit the NF-κB-dependent inflammatory response.

Abstract
We aimed to select an optimized hematoma expansion (HE) model and investigate the possible mechanism of blood-brain barrier (BBB) damage in mice. The results showed that HE occurred in the group with hypertension combined with hyperglycemia (HH-HE) from 3 to 72 h after intracerebral hemorrhage; this was accompanied by neurological deficits and hardly influenced the survival rate. The receiver operating characteristic curve suggested the criterion for this model was hematoma volume expansion ≥ 45.0%. Meanwhile, HH-HE aggravated BBB disruption. A protector of the BBB reduced HH-HE, while a BBB disruptor induced a further HH-HE. Aquaporin-4 (AQP4) knock-out led to larger hematoma volume and more severe BBB disruption. Furthermore, hematoma volume and BBB disruption were reduced by multiple connexin43 (Cx43) inhibitors in the wild-type group but not in the AQP4 knock-out group. In conclusion, the optimized HE model is induced by hypertension and hyperglycemia with the criterion of hematoma volume expanding ≥ 45.0%. HH-HE leads to BBB disruption, which is dependent on AQP4 and Cx43.

Abstract
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is the most lethal type of stroke, but there is no specific treatment. After years of effort, neurologists have found that hematoma expansion (HE) is a vital predictor of poor prognosis in ICH patients, with a not uncommon incidence ranging widely from 13 to 38%. Herein, the progress of studies on HE after ICH in recent years is updated, and the topics of definition, prevalence, risk factors, prediction score models, mechanisms, treatment, and prospects of HE are covered in this review. The risk factors and prediction score models, including clinical, imaging, and laboratory characteristics, are elaborated in detail, but limited by sensitivity, specificity, and inconvenience to clinical practice. The management of HE is also discussed from bench work to bed practice. However, the upmost problem at present is that there is no treatment for HE proven to definitely improve clinical outcomes. Further studies are needed to identify more accurate predictors and effective treatment to reduce HE.

Abstract
Spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) accounts for 10-30% of all strokes and affects more than one million people every year worldwide, and it is the stroke subtype associated with the highest rates of mortality and residual disability. So far, clinical trials have mainly targeted primary cerebral injury and have substantially failed to improve clinical outcomes. The understanding of the pathophysiology of early and delayed injury after ICH is, hence, of paramount importance to identify potential targets of intervention and develop effective therapeutic strategies. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) represent a ubiquitous superfamily of structurally related zinc-dependent endopeptidases able to degrade any component of the extracellular matrix. They are upregulated after ICH, in which different cell types, including leukocytes, activated microglia, neurons, and endothelial cells, are involved in their synthesis and secretion. The aim of this review is to summarize the available experimental and clinical evidence about the role of MMPs in brain injury following spontaneous ICH and provide critical insights into the underlying mechanisms.

Abstract
Compared to other organs, the brain is especially exposed to oxidative stress. In general, brains from young females tend to present lower oxidative damage in comparison to their male counterparts. This has been attributed to higher antioxidant defenses and a better mitochondrial function in females, which has been linked to neuroprotection in this group. However, these differences usually disappear with aging, and the incidence of brain pathologies increases in aged females. Sexual hormones, which suffer a decrease with normal aging, have been proposed as the key factors involved in these gender differences. Here, we provide an overview of redox status and mitochondrial function regulation by sexual hormones and their influence in normal brain aging. Furthermore, we discuss how sexual hormones, as well as phytoestrogens, may play an important role in the development and progression of several brain pathologies, including neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, stroke or brain cancer. Sex hormones are reduced with aging, especially in females, affecting redox balance. Normal aging is associated to a worse redox homeostasis in the brain. Young females show better mitochondrial function and higher antioxidant defenses. Development of brain pathologies is influenced by sex hormones and phytoestrogens.

Abstract
N-myc downstream-regulated gene 2 (NDRG2), a newly identified astrocytic stress response gene, is involved in the regulation of astrocytic morphology and function, and has been indicated to be a potential therapeutic target for some central nervous system (CNS) diseases. However, the role of NDRG2 in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) remains unknown. Here, we reported that NDRG2 suppression exerted neuroprotection effect against hemorrhagic brain injury in ICH mice and in oxyhemoglobin (OxyHb)-treated cells. Ndrg2 knockout (Ndrg2-/-) mice exhibited reduced hematoma volume and neuronal apoptosis in perihematoma although Ndrg2 deficiency showed little effect on the initial hematoma volume after ICH induction by collagenase injection. Moreover, contrary to the increase in NDRG2 expression after ICH, the expression of glutamate transporter 1 (GLT1) in astrocytes was dramatically decreased in WT (Ndrg2+/+) mice, while which could be more maintained in Ndrg2 knockout mice following ICH. Furthermore, in terms of the mechanism of epigenetic regulation of GLT1 by NDRG2, the results showed that NDRG2 directly interacted with NF-κB, and inhibited the nuclear import and DNA binding activity of the NF-κB p65 subunit after OxyHb treatment in primary astrocytes, decreasing GLT1 transcription and impairing glutamate uptake. Overall, our findings indicate that NDRG2 plays a key role in the pathology of ICH by regulating astrocytic GLT1 expression; thus suppressing NDRG2 may be a potential therapeutic target for ICH.

Activation of liver x receptors prevents the spinal LTP induced by skin/muscle retraction in the thigh via SIRT1/NF-Κb pathway. Neurochem Int 2019; 128:106-114.

Abstract
It has been reported that skin/muscle incision and retraction (SMIR) in the thigh, produces mechanical allodynia in the hind paw, far from the site of incision/retraction. The mechanical allodynia lasts about 22 days, indicating chronic post-operative pain develops. The precise mechanisms, however, are largely unclear. In the current study, we further found that SMIR surgery induced LTP of c-fiber evoked field potentials that lasted at least 4 h. The mRNA and protein level of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNFα) and acetylated nuclear factor-kappaB p65 (ac-NF-κB p65) in the lumbar spinal dorsal horn was gradually increased during LTP development, while pretreatment with either TNFα neutralization antibody or NF-κB inhibitor PDTC completely prevented the induction of LTP. Moreover, the expression of Silent information regulator 1 (SIRT1) in the lumbar spinal dorsal horn was decreased and activation of SIRT1 by SRT1720 also prevented the induction of LTP. Importantly, the spinal expression of Liver X receptors (LXRs) was increased, both at mRNA and protein level following SMIR. Application of LXRs agonist T0901317 to the spinal dorsal horn prevented LTP induction following SMIR. Mechanistically, T0901317 enhanced the expression of SIRT1 and decreased the expression of ac-NF-κB p65 and TNFα. Spinal application of SIRT1 antagonist EX-527, 30 min before T0901317 administration, completely blocked the inhibiting effect of T0901317 on LTP, and on expression of ac-NF-κB p65 and TNFα. These results indicated that activation of LXRs prevented SMIR-induced LTP by inhibiting NF-κB/TNFα pathway via increasing SIRT1 expression.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Intracerebral hemorrhage affects approximately 2 million individuals per year. While the incidence is roughly equal in men and women, few studies have examined the influence of sex on secondary injury and associated long-term functional outcomes. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) promote vessel rupture and worsen outcomes by potentiating blood-brain barrier breakdown after injury. We hypothesized that different MMP isoform levels would be predictive of injury severity, secondary injury, and long-term functional outcomes in males and females, respectively. METHODS We examined the levels of MMP isoforms in serum samples from a prospective patient biobank (n = 55). Baseline clinical, radiographic, and laboratory data were also analyzed. RESULTS We found that MMP-1 (P = .036), MMP-2 (P = .014), MMP-3 (P < .001), and MMP-9 (P = .02) levels gradually increased over time in male patients until 10 DPI. In female patients, we found a different pattern of activation: MMP-8 (P = .02) was the only isoform that significantly changed with time, which reached a peak at 3-5 days postinjury. Several MMP isoforms correlated with markers of secondary injury in female patients (all P < .05). Additionally, serum levels of MMP-3 (P = .011) in males and MMP-10 (P = .044) in females were significantly associated with long-term functional outcomes in a sex-specific manner. CONCLUSIONS This is the first sex-specific study to examine serum MMP levels and their correlation with clinicoradiologic measures after intracerebral hemorrhage, and identifies potential biomarkers of secondary injury and long-term outcomes in both sexes.

Abstract
Hyperglycemia was proved to cause neuron death in both animal experiments and poor outcome of hemorrhage patients, but the predictive ability of admission blood glucose level for early hematoma growth in patients with intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) is still controversial. Spot sign is a well-established imaging predictor for early hematoma growth, implying active microvascular bleeding. Here, we aim to assess associations between admission serum glucose and early hematoma expansion in ICH patients, as well as spot sign.We retrospectively reviewed all the patients with ICH from January 2017 to March 2018 in West China Hospital, Sichuan University. Admission blood glucose, clinical variables, radiological characteristics, and laboratorial parameters were obtained from medical record. According to computed tomography (CT) and computed tomography angiography (CTA) scan results, hematoma expansion and spot sign were identified by 2 experienced neuroradiologists. Multivariate logistic regression analyses were employed to adjust the associations of hematoma expansion and spot sign with other clinical parameters.Around 42 patients exhibited early hematoma expansions and 26 exhibited spot signs over 138 enrolled patients. The average level of admission blood glucose was 7.55 mmol/L. Multivariate logistic regression analyses revealed that Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score on admission, hematoma volume, spot sign, and hyperglycemia were associated with hematoma expansion, whereas admission serum glucose and hematoma size were only associated with spot sign, respectively.Admission blood glucose level is correlated with hematoma growth and incidence of spot sign. These results indicated that hyperglycemia probably plays a critical role in the pathological process of the active bleeding. Further studies should be drawn urgently to understand the potential molecular mechanism of systemic hyperglycemia in affecting prognosis of patients with ICH.

Abstract
Background Predictive values of admission blood glucose for early hematoma expansion in patients with intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) remain controversial. Blend sign is a novel image predictor for early hematoma growth that suggests presence of active bleeding. We investigated the association between hyperglycemia and blend sign in predicting early hematoma growth in ICH patients. Material/Methods All patients with intracranial hemorrhage were retrospectively reviewed. Clinical characteristics and radiological parameters were collected. Blood glucose was measured within 24 h after onset. CT scan results for hematoma expansion and blend sign were evaluated by 2 readers. Multivariate logistic regression analyses were applied to reveal the associations between hematoma growth and blend sign, as well as other variables. Results Out of 164 patients with ICH, 52 exhibited early hematoma growth and 18 of these were diagnosed with blend sign. Average blood glucose was 7.53 mmol/L among all patients. By using multivariate analyses, the time of CT scan baseline, GCS score, hematoma size, blend sign, and blood glucose were associated with hematoma expansion, whereas only hyperglycemia was associated with blend sign. Conclusions Admission hyperglycemia is associated with hematoma expansion in the presence of blend sign. These findings suggest that elevated blood glucose is a possible factor predicting continuous bleeding. Strategies to control blood glucose and ameliorate hematoma growth are urgently needed and will be investigated in our future studies.

Abstract
To develop and validate the prognosis model of hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage based on admission characteristics, which would be applied to predict the 3-month outcome.For developing the prognosis models, we studied data from 325 patients with retrospectively consecutive hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage admitted between 2012 and 2016. The predictive value of admission characteristics was tested in logistic regression models, presenting 3-month outcome as the primary outcome. The performance of the models was tested by discrimination and calibration. After development, internal and external validations were used to test the function.The multivariate analysis of logistic regression indicated that age, Glasgow coma scale score, pupillary light reflex, hypoxemia, intracerebral hemorrhage volume, blood glucose, and D-dimer level were independent factors of the hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage prognosis model. The prognosis model based on those admission risk factors worked well. The receiver operating characteristic curve was used to analyze the discriminant ability of model A, model A + B, and model A + B + C. Specifically, the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve increased from 0.816 (model A; 95% CI, 0.760-0.872) to 0.913 (model A + B + C; 95% CI, 0.881-0.946), and the models were not overoptimistic and were applicably confirmed by internal and external validations respectively.This prognosis model could be used to predict the prognosis of patients with hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage early, simply and accurately, contributing to the clinical treatment eventually.

Neuroprotective potential of glibenclamide is mediated by antioxidant and anti-apoptotic pathways in intracerebral hemorrhage. Brain Res Bull 2018; 142:18-24. [PMID: 29933037 DOI: 10.1016/j.brainresbull.2018.06.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/24/2018] [Revised: 06/04/2018] [Accepted: 06/14/2018] [Indexed: 12/17/2022]
Abstract
The sulfonylurea receptor 1 (SUR1)-regulated NCca-ATP channels were progressively upregulated and demonstrated unchecked opening in central nervous system (CNS) injury, which induced cerebral damage. Glibenclamide (GLI) can block NCca-ATP channels and consequently exert protective effects. Recent studies have found that GLI has antioxidative effects. In this study, we primarily explored the antioxidative effects of GLI in a rat model of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). We found that GLI could scavenge free radicals, reduce activated-caspase-3 expression, increase the Bcl-2/Bax ratio, inhibit apoptosis, and improve functional neurological outcomes in a rat model of ICH.

Abstract
Aim: Sirtuin3 (sirt3) plays a pivotal role in improving oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction which directly induced neuronal apoptosis after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Reactive oxygen species (ROS) is also a critical activator in triggering NACHT, LRR, and PYD domains-containing protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasomes activation which can regulate inflammatory responses in brain. Moreover, hyperglycemia can aggravate the ICH-induced damage. Hence, this study was designed to investigate the mechanisms of neuroprotection of sirt3 in hyperglycemic ICH. Methods: ICH model was established by autologous blood injection. Hyperglycemia was induced by intraperitoneal injection with streptozotocin. Honokiol (HKL, a pharmacological agonist of sirt3) was injected intraperitoneally at doses of 2.5, 5, or 10 mg/kg. Sirt3 small interfering RNA transfection was implemented through intracerebroventricular injection. The expression of sirt3 and its downstream signaling molecules were detected using Western blotting or immunofluorescence staining. Morphological changes of mitochondria were detected by electron microscopy. SH-SY5Y cells were incubated with 10 μM oxyhemoglobin for 48 h to establish an in vitro ICH model, and then JC-1 staining was used to determine mitochondrial membrane potential (Δψm). Results: Hyperglycemia could suppress sirt3 expression after ICH when compared with non-diabetic rats. Sirt3 protein expression was decreased to the minimum at 24 h in perihematoma tissues. Electron microscope analysis indicated that hyperglycemic ICH induced extensive mitochondrial vacuolization. HKL attenuated ROS accumulation, adenosine triphosphate reduction, and Δψm through Sirt3–superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2) and Sirt3–NRF1–TFAM pathway. Sirt3 knockdown could exacerbate the neuronal apoptosis and reverse the positive effects of HKL. Sirt3 activation could decrease NLRP3 and interleukin-1β levels through deacetylating SOD2 and scavenging ROS. Conclusion: HKL protects against hyperglycemic ICH-induced neuronal injury via a sirt3-dependent manner.

Abstract
Acute intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) complicated by hyperglycemia is associated with aggravation of post-stroke inflammation, leading to exacerbation of brain edema and predicting poor neurological outcomes and higher mortality of patients. Osteopontin (OPN) is a neuroprotective glycoprotein, which is able to attenuate brain injury induced by hemorrhagic stroke. In the current study we investigated whether OPN will decrease the inflammatory post-ICH response as well as attenuate brain edema and neurological deficits in hyperglycemic rats. We employed a collagenase model of ICH on male Sprague-Dawley rats (n = 148) rats and 50% of Dextrose was injected intraperitoneally (i.p) 3 h after ICH (ICH + HG). Intranasal administration of recombinant OPN (rOPN) was performed 1 h after ICH. The development of brain injury was evaluated by brain water content (BWC) and neurological deficits, western blot and immunohistochemistry study. Small interfering ribonucleic acid (siRNA) for integrin-β1 receptor and a JAK2 agonist, Coumermycin A1 (C-A1), were used for detailed investigation of the molecular pathway. The administration of OPN (3 μg) significantly improved neurobehavior and increased expression of OPN and integrin-β1 receptor in the brain followed with decrease of neutrophil infiltration, JAK2, STAT1, TNF-a, IL-1b, MMP-9 and brain edema in the ICH + HG + OPN rats compared with ICH + HG rats. The effects of OPN were reversed by the intervention of intergrin-β1 siRNA and C-A1. In conclusion, rOPN attenuated ICH-induced brain inflammation in hyperglycemic rats, leading to attenuation of brain edema and improving neurological functions. Effects of rOPN were mediated at least partly by integrin-β1 induced inhibition of JAK2/STAT1 pathway.

Stroke 2017; 48:3108-3116. [PMID: 29018127 DOI: 10.1161/strokeaha.117.017681] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/08/2016] [Revised: 08/21/2017] [Accepted: 08/23/2017] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a subtype of stroke with highest mortality and morbidity. Pronounced inflammation plays a significant role in the development of the secondary brain injury after ICH. Recently, SIK-2 (salt-inducible kinase-2) was identified as an important component controlling inflammatory response. Here we sought to investigate the role of SIK-2 in post-ICH inflammation and potential protective effects of SIK-2 inhibition after ICH. METHODS Two hundred and ninety-three male CD-1 mice were used. ICH was induced via injection of 30 μL of autologous blood. Recombinant SIK-2 was administrated 1 hour after ICH intracerebroventricularly. SIK-2 small interfering RNA was injected intracerebroventricularly 24 hours before ICH. Bosutinib, a clinically approved tyrosine kinase inhibitor with affinity to SIK-2, was given intranasally 1 hour or 6 hours after ICH. Effects of treatments were evaluated by neurological tests and brain water content calculation. Molecular pathways were investigated by Western blots and immunofluorescence studies. RESULTS Endogenous SIK-2 was expressed in microglia and neurons. SIK-2 expression was reduced after ICH. Exogenous SIK-2 aggravated post-ICH inflammation, leading to brain edema and the neurobehavioral deficits. SIK-2 inhibition attenuated post-ICH inflammation, reducing brain edema and ameliorating neurological dysfunctions. Bosutinib inhibited SIK-2-attenuating ICH-induced brain damage. Protective effects of Bosutinib were mediated, at least partly, by CRTC3 (cyclic amp-response element binding protein-regulated transcription coactivator 3)/cyclic amp-response element binding protein/NF-κB (nuclear factor-κB) pathway. CONCLUSIONS SIK-2 participates in inflammation induction after ICH. SIK-2 inhibition via Bosutinib or small interfering RNA decreased inflammation, attenuating brain injury. SIK-2 effects are, at least partly, mediated by CRTC3-cyclic amp-response element binding protein-NF-κB signaling pathway.

Abstract
Despite years of effort, intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) remains the most devastating form of stroke with more than 40% 30-day mortality worldwide. Hematoma expansion (HE), which occurs in one third of ICH patients, is strongly predictive of worse prognosis and potentially preventable if high-risk patients were identified in the early phase of ICH. In this review, we summarize data from recent studies on HE prediction and classify those potential indicators into four categories: clinical (severity of consciousness disturbance; blood pressure; blood glucose at and after admission); laboratory (hematologic parameters of coagulation, inflammation and microvascular integrity status), radiographic (interval time from ICH onset; baseline volume, shape and density of hematoma; intraventricular hemorrhage; especially the spot sign and modified spot sign) and integrated predictors (9-point or 24-point clinical prediction algorithm and PREDICT A/B). We discuss those predictors’ underlying pathophysiology in HE and present opportunities to develop future therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Netrin-1 (NTN-1) has been established to be a novel intrinsic regulator of blood-brain barrier (BBB) maintenance. This study was carried out to investigate the potential roles of exogenous NTN-1 in preserving BBB integrity after experimental subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) as well as the underlying mechanisms of its protective effects. METHODS AND RESULTS A total of 309 male Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to an endovascular perforation model of SAH. Recombinant NTN-1 was administered intravenously 1 hour after SAH induction. NTN-1 small interfering RNA or Deleted in Colorectal Cancer small interfering RNA was administered intracerebroventricular at 48 hours before SAH. Focal adhesion kinase inhibitor was administered by intraperitoneal injection at 1 hour prior to SAH. Neurological scores, brain water content, BBB permeability, RhoA activity, Western blot, and immunofluorescence staining were evaluated. The expression of endogenous NTN-1 and its receptor Deleted in Colorectal Cancer were increased after SAH. Administration of exogenous NTN-1 significantly reduced brain water content and BBB permeability and ameliorated neurological deficits at 24 and 72 hours after SAH. Exogenous NTN-1 treatment significantly promoted phosphorylated focal adhesion kinase activation and inhibited RhoA activity, as well as upregulated the expression of ZO-1 and Occludin. Conversely, depletion of endogenous NTN-1 aggravated BBB breakdown and neurological impairments at 24 hours after SAH. The protective effects of NTN-1 at 24 hours after SAH were also abolished by pretreatment with Deleted in Colorectal Cancer small interfering RNA and focal adhesion kinase inhibitor. CONCLUSIONS NTN-1 treatment preserved BBB integrity and improved neurological functions through a Deleted in Colorectal Cancer/focal adhesion kinase/RhoA signaling pathway after SAH. Thus, NTN-1 may serve as a promising treatment to alleviate early brain injury following SAH.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Energy depletion is a critical factor leading to cell death and brain dysfunction after ischemic stroke. In this study, we investigated whether energy depletion is involved in hyperglycemia-induced hemorrhagic transformation after ischemic stroke and determined the pathway underlying the beneficial effects of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO). METHODS After 2-hour middle cerebral artery occlusion, hyperglycemia was induced by injecting 50% dextrose (6 mL/kg) intraperitoneally at the onset of reperfusion. Immediately after it, rats were exposed to HBO at 2 atmospheres absolutes for 1 hour. ATP synthase inhibitor oligomycin A, nicotinamide phosphoribosyl transferase inhibitor FK866, or silent mating type information regulation 2 homolog 1 siRNA was administrated for interventions. Infarct volume, hemorrhagic volume, and neurobehavioral deficits were recorded; the level of blood glucose, ATP, and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide and the activity of nicotinamide phosphoribosyl transferase were monitored; the expression of silent mating type information regulation 2 homolog 1, acetylated p53, acetylated nuclear factor-κB, and cleaved caspase 3 were detected by Western blots; and the activity of matrix metalloproteinase-9 was assayed by zymography. RESULTS Hyperglycemia deteriorated energy metabolism and reduced the level of ATP and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide and exaggerated hemorrhagic transformation, blood-brain barrier disruption, and neurological deficits after middle cerebral artery occlusion. HBO treatment increased the levels of the ATP and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide and consequently increased silent mating type information regulation 2 homolog 1, resulting in attenuation of hemorrhagic transformation, brain infarction, as well as improvement of neurological function in hyperglycemic middle cerebral artery occlusion rats. CONCLUSIONS HBO induced activation of ATP/nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide/silent mating type information regulation 2 homolog 1 pathway and protected blood-brain barrier in hyperglycemic middle cerebral artery occlusion rats. HBO might be promising approach for treatment of acute ischemic stroke patients, especially patients with diabetes mellitus or treated with r-tPA (recombinant tissue-type plasminogen activator).

Abstract
AIMS Stroke is a major cause of mortality and disability, especially for postmenopausal women. In view of the protective action of estrogen, hormone therapy remains the only effective way to limit this risk. The objective of this study was to investigate the efficiency and underlying mechanisms of estrogen neuroprotection. METHODS Subcutaneous injection of 17β-estradiol in rats after ovariectomy (OVX) was used to manipulate estrogen level and explore the effects of estrogen in cerebral ischemic damage both in vivo and in vitro. Silent mating type information regulation 2 homolog 1 (SIRT1) knockout mice and adenosine monophosphate (AMP)-activated kinase (AMPK) inhibitor Compound C were also used to investigate the underlying pathway of estrogen. RESULTS Estrogen deficiency induced by OVX aggravated brain infarction in experimentally induced cerebral ischemia rats, whereas estrogen pretreatment reduced ischemia-induced cerebral injuries. Neurons of estrogen deficiency models were susceptible to apoptosis under oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD). In contrast, neurons with estrogen-supplemented serum exhibited restored resistance to cell apoptosis. In OGD neurons, estrogen promoted AMPK activation through estrogen receptor α, and neuroprotection of estrogen was prevented by AMPK inhibition. Estrogen increased SIRT1 expression and activation, and estrogen-induced AMPK activation disappeared in SIRT1 knockout neurons. Moreover, estrogen-induced neuroprotection was abolished in SIRT1 knockout mice and AMPK-inhibited rats. CONCLUSION Our data support that estrogen protects against ischemic stroke through preventing neuron death via the SIRT1-dependent AMPK pathway.
