Neuritin attenuates neuroinflammation and apoptosis in early brain injury after subarachnoid hemorrhage via endoplasmic reticulum stress-related inflammatory pathways. Brain Res 2024:149293. [PMID: 39454807 DOI: 10.1016/j.brainres.2024.149293] [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: 07/12/2024] [Revised: 10/11/2024] [Accepted: 10/22/2024] [Indexed: 10/28/2024]
Abstract
Neuroinflammation is a key destructive pathophysiological process in early brain injury (EBI) following subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Recent studies have discovered that endoplasmic reticulum stress-related inflammatory pathways include the IRE1α-TRAF2-NF-κB pathway, PERK-eIF2α-NF-κB pathway, and ATF6-AKT -NF-κB pathway leading to neuroinflammatory response. Neuritin is a neurotrophin that is involved in neuronal plasticity and regeneration. Studies have suggested that Neuritin has a vital role in reducing neuroinflammation, and can also decrease the expression of proteins related to endoplasmic reticulum stress following SAH. This suggests that Neuritin could be a potential therapeutic target for SAH and other neurological conditions. However, the regulatory mechanisms of Neuritin in ER stress-related inflammatory pathways after SAH are not yet fully understood. In this work, we discovered that the activation of ER stress-related inflammatory pathways leads to neuroinflammation, which further aggravates neuronal apoptosis after SAH. Our findings indicate that Neuritin overexpression play a neuroprotective role by inhibiting IRE1α-TRAF2-NF-κB pathway, PERK-eIF2α-NF-κB pathway, and ATF6-AKT-NF-κB pathway associated with endoplasmic reticulum stress. These inhibitory effects on neuroinflammation ultimately reduce nerve cell apoptosis.

TREM2 alleviates long-term cognitive dysfunction after subarachnoid hemorrhage in mice by attenuating hippocampal neuroinflammation via PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. Brain Res 2024; 1846:149235. [PMID: 39270995 DOI: 10.1016/j.brainres.2024.149235] [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: 07/07/2024] [Revised: 09/03/2024] [Accepted: 09/08/2024] [Indexed: 09/15/2024]
Abstract
Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) often leads to long-term cognitive deficits in patients, particularly due to injury to brain regions such as the hippocampus. This study aims to investigate the role of the triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM2) in mitigating hippocampal injury and associated cognitive impairments following SAH. To explore the protective effects of TREM2, we utilized the TREM2 agonist COG1410 to upregulate TREM2 expression and employed TREM2 knockout (KO) mice to verify the necessity of TREM2 for this protective role. The study further examined the involvement of the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway in TREM2-mediated neuroprotection. Our findings indicate that the upregulation of TREM2 significantly alleviated long-term cognitive deficits and promoted the recovery of hippocampal neural activity post-SAH. The neuroprotective effects were linked to reduced microglial activation and decreased secretion of inflammatory factors within the hippocampus. In contrast, TREM2 KO mice did not exhibit these protective effects. Furthermore, inhibition of the PI3K/Akt pathway also diminished these protective effects of TREM2 upregulation and worsened cognitive outcomes. In conclusion, TREM2 upregulation mitigates long-term cognitive dysfunction following SAH by attenuating hippocampal neuroinflammation via the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. These findings suggest that TREM2 could be a potential therapeutic target for improving cognitive outcomes after SAH.

Abstract
Background Terson syndrome (TS) is a neuro-ophthalmologic disease arising due to subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), resulting in the formation of subhyaloid hemorrhagic spots. These spots can affect the ability to see due to the alteration of the optic cameras. Although it often affects both eyes, the symptoms and the eye involvement can be asymmetrical in rare cases. Case Description We described the case of a 52-year-old female patient who developed Terson disease following the rupture of a right middle cerebral artery aneurysm occurring during coitus with SAH (Fisher grade III). The aneurysm was treated by endovascular coiling. Interestingly, despite the major involvement of the right eye, the patient primarily manifested symptoms of visual changes in the left eye. Conclusion TS is a frequent ocular complication of SAH, with symptoms typically affecting both eyes. Characterized by hemorrhagic spots in both subhyaloid layers, the syndrome's symptomatology is generally bilateral. However, in the case described, the manifestation is deemed atypical, primarily appearing contralateral to the hemisphere exhibiting a greater pattern of SAH.

Inflammasome Proteins Are Reliable Biomarkers of the Inflammatory Response in Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage. Cells 2024; 13:1370.

Abstract
Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) is caused by abnormal blood vessel dilation and subsequent rupture, resulting in blood pooling in the subarachnoid space. This neurological insult results in the activation of the inflammasome, a multiprotein complex that processes pro-inflammatory interleukin (IL)-1 cytokines leading to morbidity and mortality. Moreover, increases in inflammasome proteins are associated with clinical deterioration in many neurological diseases. Limited studies have investigated inflammasome protein expression following aSAH. Reliable markers of the inflammatory response associated with aSAH may allow for earlier detection of patients at risk for complications and aid in the identification of novel pharmacologic targets. Here, we investigated whether inflammasome signaling proteins may serve as potential biomarkers of the inflammatory response in aSAH. Serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from fifteen aSAH subjects and healthy age-matched controls and hydrocephalus (CSF) no-aneurysm controls were evaluated for levels of inflammasome signaling proteins and downstream pro-inflammatory cytokines. Protein measurements were carried out using Simple Plex and Single-Molecule Array (Simoa) technology. The area under the curve (AUC) was calculated using receiver operating characteristics (ROCs) to obtain information on biomarker reliability, specificity, sensitivity, cut-off points, and likelihood ratio. In addition, a Spearman r correlation matrix was performed to determine the correlation between inflammasome protein levels and clinical outcome measures. aSAH subjects demonstrated elevated caspase-1, apoptosis-associated speck-like protein with a caspase recruiting domain (ASC), IL-18 and IL-1β levels in serum, and CSF when compared to controls. Each of these proteins was found to be a promising biomarker of inflammation in aSAH in the CSF. In addition, ASC, caspase-1, and IL-1β were found to be promising biomarkers of inflammation in aSAH in serum. Furthermore, we found that elevated levels of inflammasome proteins in serum are useful to predict worse functional outcomes following aSAH. Thus, the determination of inflammasome protein levels in CSF and serum in aSAH may be utilized as reliable biomarkers of inflammation in aSAH and used clinically to monitor patient outcomes.

Abstract
Background Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) patients typically have poor prognoses. The anion gap (AG) has been proven to correlate with mortality in various critically ill patients. However, hypoalbuminemia can lead to underestimations of the true anion gap levels. This study was conducted to verify the prognostic value of single AG and albumin-corrected anion gap (ACAG) among aSAH patients. Methods Significant factors in the univariate logistic regression analysis were included in the multivariate logistic regression analysis to explore the risk factors for mortality in aSAH patients and to confirm the independent relationship between ACAG and mortality. The restricted cubic spline (RCS) was used to visually show the relationship between ACAG level and mortality risk of aSAH patients. The predictive model for mortality was developed by incorporating significant factors into the multivariate logistic regression analysis. The prognostic value of ACAG and the developed model was evaluated by calculating the area under the receiver operating characteristics curve (AUC). Results Among 710 aSAH patients, a 30-day mortality was observed in 20.3% of the cases. A positive relationship was demonstrated between the ACAG level and mortality in aSAH patients using the RCS curve. The multivariate logistic regression analysis helped discover that only six factors were finally and independently related to mortality of aSAH patients after adjusting for confounding effects, including the Hunt-Hess scale score (p = 0.006), surgical options (p < 0.001), white blood cell count (p < 0.001), serum chloride levels (p = 0.023), ACAG (p = 0.039), and delayed cerebral ischemia (p < 0.001). The AUC values for the AG, albumin, and ACAG in predicting mortality among aSAH patients were 0.606, 0.536, and 0.617, respectively. A logistic regression model, which includes the Hunt-Hess scale score, surgical options, white blood cell count, serum chloride levels, ACAG, and delayed cerebral ischemia, achieved an AUC of 0.911 for predicting mortality. Conclusion The ACAG is an effective prognostic marker for aSAH patients. A prognostic model incorporating ACAG could help clinicians evaluate the risk of poor outcomes among aSAH patients, thereby facilitating the development of personalized therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
Subarachnoid hemorrhage is a devastating sequela of aneurysm rupture. Because it disproportionately affects younger patients, the population impact of hemorrhagic stroke from subarachnoid hemorrhage is substantial. Secondary brain injury is a significant contributor to morbidity after subarachnoid hemorrhage. Initial hemorrhage causes intracranial pressure elevations, disrupted cerebral perfusion pressure, global ischemia, and systemic dysfunction. These initial events are followed by two characterized timespans of secondary brain injury: the early brain injury period and the delayed cerebral ischemia period. The identification of varying microglial phenotypes across phases of secondary brain injury paired with the functions of microglia during each phase provides a basis for microglia serving a critical role in both promoting and attenuating subarachnoid hemorrhage-induced morbidity. The duality of microglial effects on outcomes following SAH is highlighted by the pleiotropic features of these cells. Here, we provide an overview of the key role of microglia in subarachnoid hemorrhage-induced secondary brain injury as both cytotoxic and restorative effectors. We first describe the ontogeny of microglial populations that respond to subarachnoid hemorrhage. We then correlate the phenotypic development of secondary brain injury after subarachnoid hemorrhage to microglial functions, synthesizing experimental data in this area.

Abstract
Background Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) serves as a disease characterized by high incidence rate, which is exceedingly prevalent and severe. Presently, there is no unambiguous or efficacious intervention for the neurological impairment following SAH. Administering multi-targeted neuroprotective agents to reduce oxidative stress (OS) and neuroinflammation caused by early brain injury (EBI) has been demonstrated to improve neurological function and prognosis following SAH. Edaravone dexborneol (EDB), a novel multi targeted neuroprotective medication, combines four parts edaravone (EDA) with 1 part (+)-borneol in proportion. Clinical trials conducted in China have revealed during 2 days of acute ischemic stroke (AIS), early administration of EDB leads to improved therapeutic outcomes compared to treatment in EDA monotherapy. Currently, there is no clear evidence that EDB can effectively treat SAH, therefore, our study aims to investigate its potential therapeutic effects and mechanisms on EBI after SAH. Method We used the intravascular threading method to establish a mouse model of SAH to explore whether EDA and EDB could produce anti-OS and anti-apoptosis effects. Behavioral assessment of mice was conducted using the balance beam experiment and the modified Garcia scoring system. Neuronal damage due to OS and Keap1/Nrf2 signaling pathway were detected through techniques of immunofluorescence, Western blotting, spectrophotometry. The group of EDA and EDB were injected intraperitoneally for 72 h after SAH. Results The experiment results indicated that EDB lead to remarkably positive results by significantly enhancing neurological function, reducing blood-brain barrier (BBB) injury, and effectively inhibiting neuronal apoptosis after SAH. Further examination indicated EDB significantly reduced the expression of Keap1 and increased the expression of Nrf2, and it inhibited MDA, and enhanced SOD activity after SAH. These outcomes surpassed the effectiveness observed in EDA monotherapy. However, the application of ML385 reversed the anti-OS effects of EDB and EDA. Conclusion Our experimental findings indicated that EDB could activate Keap1/Nrf2 signaling pathway to reduce OS damage, thereby protecting neurological function and enhancing behavioral abilities after SAH. These outcomes could facilitate the creation of new approaches for the clinical management of SAH.

Abstract
Emerging evidence indicates that aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) elicits a response from both innate and adaptive immune systems. An upregulation of CD8 + CD161 + cells has been observed in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) after aSAH, yet the precise role of these cells in the context of aSAH is unkown. CSF samples from patients with aSAH and non-aneurysmal SAH (naSAH) were analyzed. Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq) was performed on CD8 + CD161 + sorted samples from aSAH patients. Cell populations were identified using "clustering." Gene expression levels of ten previously described genes involved in inflammation were quantified from aSAH and naSAH samples using RT-qPCR. The study focused on the following genes: CCL5, CCL7, APOE, SPP1, CXCL8, CXCL10, HMOX1, LTB, MAL, and HLA-DRB1. Gene clustering analysis revealed that monocytes, NK cells, and T cells expressed CD8 + CD161 + in the CSF of patients with aSAH. In comparison to naSAH samples, aSAH samples exhibited higher mRNA levels of CXCL10 (median, IQR = 90, 16-149 vs. 0.5, 0-6.75, p = 0.02). A trend towards higher HMOX1 levels was also observed in aSAH (median, IQR = 12.6, 9-17.6 vs. 2.55, 1.68-5.7, p = 0.076). Specifically, CXCL10 and HMOX1 were expressed by the monocyte subpopulation. Monocytes, NK cells, and T cells can potentially express CD8 + CD161 + in patients with aSAH. Notably, monocytes show high levels of CXCL10. The elevated expression of CXCL10 in aSAH compared to naSAH indicates its potential significance as a target for future studies.

Abstract
Cerebrovascular diseases are a major cause of stroke and dementia, both requiring long-term care. These diseases involve multiple pathophysiologies, with mitochondrial dysfunction being a crucial contributor to the initiation of inflammation, apoptosis, and oxidative stress, resulting in injuries to neurovascular units that include neuronal cell death, endothelial cell death, glial activation, and blood-brain barrier disruption. To maintain brain homeostasis against these pathogenic conditions, brain immune cells, including border-associated macrophages and microglia, play significant roles as brain innate immunity cells in the pathophysiology of cerebrovascular injury. Although microglia have long been recognized as significant contributors to neuroinflammation, attention has recently shifted to border-associated macrophages, such as perivascular macrophages (PVMs), which have been studied based on their crucial roles in the brain. These cells are strategically positioned around the walls of brain vessels, where they mainly perform critical functions, such as perivascular drainage, cerebrovascular flexibility, phagocytic activity, antigen presentation, activation of inflammatory responses, and preservation of blood-brain barrier integrity. Although PVMs act as scavenger and surveillant cells under normal conditions, these cells exert harmful effects under pathological conditions. PVMs detect mitochondrial dysfunction in injured cells and implement pathological changes to regulate brain homeostasis. Therefore, PVMs are promising as they play a significant role in mitochondrial dysfunction and, in turn, disrupt the homeostatic condition. Herein, we summarize the significant roles of PVMs in cerebrovascular diseases, especially ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke and dementia, mainly in correlation with inflammation. A better understanding of the biology and pathobiology of PVMs may lead to new insights on and therapeutic strategies for cerebrovascular diseases.

[PMID: 38610720 PMCID: PMC11012874 DOI: 10.3390/jcm13071955] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/27/2024] [Revised: 03/18/2024] [Accepted: 03/25/2024] [Indexed: 04/14/2024] Open
Abstract
Background: The present work aimed to determine whether a relationship exists between inflammatory parameters and the development of vasospasm (VS) and Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC), as well as clinical outcome, in patients suffering from spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Methods: In this study, the authors processed the prospectively collected laboratory and clinical data of spontaneous SAH patients admitted to the neurointensive care unit between March 2015 and October 2023. The highest values of neutrophils (NEUpeak), monocytes (MONOpeak), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLRpeak), and CRP (CRPpeak) during the initial 7 days were correlated with the occurrence of VS and TTC, and with the outcome measures at day 30 after onset. Results: Data were collected from 175 SAH patients. Based on ROC analysis, for the development of VS, MONOpeak was the most accurate indicator (AUC: 0.619, optimal cut-off: 1.45 G/L). TTC with severe left ventricular dysfunction (ejection fraction < 40%) was indicated most sensitively by NEUpeak (ROC: 0.763, optimal cut-off: 12.34 G/L). Both for GOS and Barthel Index at day 30, CRPpeak was the best predictor for the outcome (GOS: ROC: 0.846, optimal cut-off: 78.33 mg/L and Barthel Index: ROC: 0.819, optimal cut-off: 78.33 mg/L). Conclusions: Laboratory parameters referring to inflammation during the initial 7 days after SAH correlate with the development of VS and TTC, and thus may predict functional outcome.

Neuroscience 2024; 542:21-32. [PMID: 38340785 DOI: 10.1016/j.neuroscience.2024.01.022] [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: 10/02/2023] [Revised: 01/03/2024] [Accepted: 01/25/2024] [Indexed: 02/12/2024]
Abstract
Neuroinflammation is an early event of brain injury after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Whether the macrophage mediators in resolving inflammation 1 (MaR1) is involved in SAH pathogenesis is unknown. In this study, 205 male Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to SAH via endovascular perforation in the experimental and control groups. MaR1 was dosed intranasally at 1 h after SAH, with LGR6 siRNA and KG-501, GSK-J4 administered to determine the signaling pathway. Neurobehavioral, histological and biochemical data were obtained from the animal groups with designated treatments. The results showed: (i) The leucine-rich repeat containing G protein-coupled receptor 6 (LGR6) was decreased after SAH and reached to the lowest level at 24 h after SAH. Jumonji d3 (JMJD3) protein levels tended to increase and peaked at 24 h after SAH. LGR6 and JMJD3 expression were co-localized with microglia. (ii) MaR1 administration mitigated short-term neurological deficits, brain edema and long-term neurobehavioral performance after SAH, and attenuated microglial activation and neutrophil infiltration. (iii) Knockdown of LGR6, inhibition of CREB phosphorylation or JMJD3 activity abolished the anti-neuroinflammatory effect of MaR1 on the expression of CREB, CBP, JMJD3, IRF4, IRF5, IL-1β, IL-6 and IL-10, thus prevented microglial activation and neutrophil infiltration. Together, the results show that MaR1 can activate LGR6 and affect CREB/JMJD3/IRF4 signaling to attenuate neuroinflammation after SAH, pointing to a potential pharmacological utility in this disorder.

Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) can independently increase the risk of stroke, affecting both young and adult RA patients. Recent attention has been drawn to the association between stroke and RA, supported by mounting evidence. Given that stroke is a significant and an urgent public health concern, this review aims to highlight the relationship between stroke and RA, covering mechanisms, underlying risk factors, early detection tools, and treatment implications. By uncovering the connection that links RA to stroke, we can pave the way for targeted healthcare practices and the development of preventive strategies for individuals with RA. Therefore, further research is imperative to deepen our understanding of this association and, ideally, guide treatment decisions for individuals at risk of both RA and stroke.

JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2024; 319:117335. [PMID: 37863400 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2023.117335] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/12/2023] [Revised: 10/10/2023] [Accepted: 10/18/2023] [Indexed: 10/22/2023]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Early brain damage (EBI) following subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a long-lasting condition with a high occurrence. However, treatment options are restricted. Wu-zhu-yu Decoction (WZYD) can treat headaches and vomiting, which are similar to the early symptoms of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). However, it is yet unknown if WZYD can reduce EBI following SAH and its underlying mechanisms. AIM OF THE STUDY This study aimed to investigate whether WZYD protects against EBI following SAH by inhibiting oxidative stress through activating nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)/heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) signaling via Sirtuin 6 (SIRT6)-mediated histone H3 lysine 56 (H3K56) deacetylation. MATERIALS AND METHODS In the current investigation, the principal components of WZYD were identified using high-performance liquid chromatography-diode array detection (HPLC-DAD). The SAH model in rats using the internal carotid artery plug puncture approach and the SAH model in primary neurons using hemoglobin incubation were developed. WZYD with different doses (137 mg kg-1, 274 mg kg-1, 548 mg kg-1) and the positive drug-Nimodipine (40 mg kg-1) were intragastrically administered in SAH model rats, respectively. The PC12 cells were cultured with corresponding medicated for 24h. In our investigation, neurological scores, brain water content, Evans blue leakage, Nissl staining, TUNEL staining, oxidative stress, expression of apoptosis-related proteins, and Nrf2/HO-1 signaling were evaluated. The interaction between SIRT6 and Nrf2 was detected by co-immunoprecipitation. SIRT6 knockdown was used to confirm its role in WZYD's neuroprotection. RESULTS The WZYD treatment dramatically reduced cerebral hemorrhage and edema, and enhanced neurological results in EBI following SAH rats. WZYD administration inhibited neuronal apoptosis via reducing the expression levels of Cleaved cysteinyl aspartate specific proteinase-3(Cleaved Caspase-3), cysteinyl aspartate specific proteinase-3(caspase-3), and Bcl-2, Associated X Protein (Bax) and increasing the expression of B-cell lymphoma-2(Bal2). It also decreased reactive oxygen species and malondialdehyde levels and increased Nrf2 and HO-1 expression in the rat brain after SAH. In vitro, WZYD attenuated hemoglobin-induced cytotoxicity, oxidative stress and apoptosis in primary neurons. Mechanistically, WZYD enhanced SIRT6 expression and H3K56 deacetylation, activated Nrf2/HO-1 signaling, and promoted the interaction between SIRT6 and Nrf2. Knockdown of SIRT6 abolished WZYD-induced neuroprotection. CONCLUSIONS WZYD attenuates EBI after SAH by activating Nrf2/HO-1 signaling through SIRT6-mediated H3K56 deacetylation, suggesting its therapeutic potential for SAH treatment.

Machine learning predictors of risk of death within 7 days in patients with non-traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage in the intensive care unit: A multicenter retrospective study. Heliyon 2024; 10:e23943. [PMID: 38192749 PMCID: PMC10772257 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e23943] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/10/2023] [Revised: 11/04/2023] [Accepted: 12/15/2023] [Indexed: 01/10/2024] Open
Abstract
Non-traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a critical neurosurgical emergency with a high mortality rate, imposing a significant burden on both society and families. Accurate prediction of the risk of death within 7 days in SAH patients can provide valuable information for clinicians, enabling them to make better-informed medical decisions. In this study, we developed six machine learning models using the MIMIC III database and data collected at our institution. These models include Logistic Regression (LR), AdaBoosting (AB), Multilayer Perceptron (MLP), Bagging (BAG), Gradient Boosting Machines (GBM), and Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGB). The primary objective was to identify predictors of death within 7 days in SAH patients admitted to intensive care units. We employed univariate and multivariate logistic regression as well as Pearson correlation analysis to screen the clinical variables of the patients. The initially screened variables were then incorporated into the machine learning models, and the performance of these models was evaluated. Furthermore, we compared the performance differences among the six models and found that the MLP model exhibited the highest performance with an AUC of 0.913. In this study, we conducted risk factor analysis using Shapley values to identify the factors associated with death within 7 days in patients with SAH. The risk factors we identified include Gcsmotor, bicarbonate, wbc, spo2, heartrate, age, nely, glucose, aniongap, GCS, rbc, sysbp, sodium, and gcseys. To provide clinicians with a useful tool for assessing the risk of death within 7 days in SAH patients, we developed a web calculator based on the MLP machine learning model.

Abstract
Haptoglobin is the body's first line of defence against the toxicity of extracellular haemoglobin released following a subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH). We investigated the haptoglobin response after SAH in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and serum. Paired CSF and serum samples from 19 controls and 92 SAH patients were assayed as follows: ultra-performance liquid chromatography for CSF haemoglobin and haptoglobin, immunoassay for serum haptoglobin and multiplexed CSF cytokines, and colorimetry for albumin. There was marked CSF haptoglobin deficiency: 99% of extracellular haemoglobin was unbound. The quotients for both CSF/serum albumin (qAlb) and haptoglobin (qHp) were used to compute the CSF haptoglobin index (qHp/qAlb). CSF from SAH patients had a significantly lower haptoglobin index compared to controls, especially in Haptoglobin-1 allele carriers. Serum haptoglobin levels increased after SAH and were correlated with CSF cytokine levels. Haptoglobin variables were not associated with long-term clinical outcomes post-SAH. We conclude that: (1) intrathecal haptoglobin consumption occurs after SAH, more so in haptoglobin-1 allele carriers; (2) serum haptoglobin is upregulated after SAH, in keeping with the liver acute phase response to central inflammation; (3) haptoglobin in the CSF is so low that any variation is too small for this to affect long-term outcomes, emphasising the potential for therapeutic haptoglobin supplementation.

Abstract
Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) is a devastating disease with high morbidity and mortality rates. Within 24 hours after aSAH, monocytes are recruited and enter the subarachnoid space, where they mature into macrophages, increasing the inflammatory response and contributing, along with other factors, to delayed neurological dysfunction and poor outcomes. High-density lipoproteins (HDL) are lipid-protein complexes that exert anti-inflammatory effects but under pathological conditions undergo structural alterations that have been associated with loss of functionality. Plasma HDL were isolated from patients with aSAH and analyzed for their anti-inflammatory activity and protein composition. HDL isolated from patients lost the ability to prevent VCAM-1 expression in endothelial cells (HUVEC) and subsequent adhesion of THP-1 monocytes to the endothelium. Proteomic analysis showed that HDL particles from patients had an altered composition compared to those of healthy subjects. We confirmed by western blot that low levels of apolipoprotein A4 (APOA4) and high of serum amyloid A1 (SAA1) in HDL were associated with the lack of anti-inflammatory function observed in aSAH. Our results indicate that the study of HDL in the pathophysiology of aSAH is needed, and functional HDL supplementation could be considered a novel therapeutic approach to the treatment of the inflammatory response after aSAH.

Abstract
Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a prevalent cerebrovascular disease with significant global mortality and morbidity rates. Despite advancements in pharmacological and surgical approaches, the quality of life for SAH survivors has not shown substantial improvement. Traditionally, vasospasm has been considered a primary contributor to death and disability following SAH, but anti-vasospastic therapies have not demonstrated significant benefits for SAH patients' prognosis. Emerging studies suggest that early brain injury (EBI) may play a crucial role in influencing SAH prognosis. Sirtuins (SIRTs), a group of NAD + -dependent deacylases comprising seven mammalian family members (SIRT1 to SIRT7), have been found to be involved in neural tissue development, plasticity, and aging. They also exhibit vital functions in various central nervous system (CNS) processes, including cognition, pain perception, mood, behavior, sleep, and circadian rhythms. Extensive research has uncovered the multifaceted roles of SIRTs in CNS disorders, offering insights into potential markers for pathological processes and promising therapeutic targets (such as SIRT1 activators and SIRT2 inhibitors). In this article, we provide an overview of recent research progress on the application of SIRTs in subarachnoid hemorrhage and explore their underlying mechanisms of action.

Abstract
Background Sestrin2 functions as a neuroprotective factor. Herein, serum sestrin2 was investigated with respect to its associations with severity, delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) and prognosis of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). Methods In this prospective, observational, cohort, single-center study, serum sestrin2 levels were measured at entry into the study in 45 healthy controls and at admission in 135 aSAH patients. Also, they were gauged in other time points (namely, at days 1, 2, 3, 5 and 7) among 45 patients. Unfavorable prognosis was defined as extended Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOSE) scores of 1-4 at six months after aSAH. Results Serum sestrin2 levels were immediately raised at admission in patients, increased thereafter, peaked at day 2, declined afterwards till day 7, and were significantly higher than those in controls (all P<0.001). Serum sestrin2 levels had independent correlation with Hunt-Hess scores (beta, 1.715; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.595-2.835; P=0.003) and modified Fisher scores (beta, 2.505; 95% CI, 1.102-3.907; P=0.001). Alternatively, serum sestrin2 levels, which were independently correlated with 6-month GOSE scores (beta, -0.050; 95% CI, -0.099-0.001; P=0.044), were independently associated with DCI (odds ratio, 1.079; 95% CI, 1.008-1.156; P=0.029) and unfavorable prognosis (odds ratio, 1.093; 95% CI, 1.020-1.172; P=0.012). DCI and prognosis prediction models, which were composed of serum sestrin2, Hunt-Hess scores and modified Fisher scores, were comparatively stable and clinically beneficial under calibration curve and decision curve. Prognosis prediction model showed significantly higher area under receiver operating characteristic curve than serum sestrin2, Hunt-Hess scores and modified Fisher scores alone (all P<0.05). Conclusion A significant enhancement of serum sestrin2 levels after aSAH is independently related to severity, DCI and poor prognosis following aSAH. The models incorporating serum sestrin2 perform well in predicting the DCI and prognosis of aSAH patients. Presumably, determination of serum sestrin2 may be of clinical significance in aSAH.

Abstract
Emerging evidence suggests that neuroinflammation may play a potential role in aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). We aim to analyze the influence of anti-inflammatory therapy on survival and outcome in aSAH. Eligible randomized placebo-controlled prospective trials (RCTs) were searched in PubMed until March 2023. After screening the available studies for inclusion and exclusion criteria, we strictly extracted the main outcome measures. Dichotomous data were determined and extracted by odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Neurological outcome was graded using the modified Rankin Scale (mRS). We created funnel plots to analyze publication bias. From 967 articles identified during the initial screening, we included 14 RCTs in our meta-analysis. Our results illustrate that anti-inflammatory therapy yields an equivalent probability of survival compared to placebo or conventional management (OR: 0.81, 95% CI: 0.55-1.19, p = 0.28). Generally, anti-inflammatory therapy trended to be associated with a better neurologic outcome (mRS ≤ 2) compared to placebo or conventional treatment (OR: 1.48, 95% CI: 0.95-2.32, p = 0.08). Our meta-analysis showed no increased mortality form anti-inflammatory therapy. Anti-inflammatory therapy in aSAH patients tends to improve the neurological outcome. However, multicenter, rigorous, designed, prospective randomized studies are still needed to investigate the effect of fighting inflammation in improving neurological functioning after aSAH.

Abstract
The number of elderly patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) is increasing annually. The prognostic nutritional index (PNI) is used as a novel and valuable prognostic marker for various neoplastic diseases and other critical illnesses. This study aimed to identify the short-term prognostic value of preoperative PNI in elderly patients who underwent neurosurgical clipping for aSAH. This retrospective study included elderly patients with aSAH who underwent neurosurgical clipping from January 2018 to December 2020. Clinical variables and 6-month outcomes were collected and compared. Epidemiological data and effect factors of prognosis were evaluated. Multivariate logistic regression and receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve analyses were used to evaluate the predictive value of preoperative PNI. Multiple logistic regression was performed to establish a nomogram. A total of 124 elderly patients were enrolled. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that preoperative PNI (odds ratio (OR), 0.779; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.689-0.881; P < 0.001), Hunt-Hess grade (OR, 3.291; 95%CI, 1.816-5.966; P < 0.001), and hydrocephalus (OR, 9.423; 95%CI, 2.696-32.935; P < 0.001) were significant predictors. The area under the ROC curve of PNI was 0.829 (95% CI, 0.755-0.903; P < 0.001) with a sensitivity and specificity of 68.4% and 83.3%, respectively, and the cutoff value was 46.36. Patients with preoperative PNI of < 46.36 had a significantly unfavorable 6-months prognosis (F = 40.768, P < 0.001). Preoperative PNI is independently correlated with the 6-month prognosis in elderly patients who undergo neurosurgical clipping for aSAH.

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

Abstract
Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) represents a severe acute event with high morbidity and mortality due to the development of early brain injury (EBI), secondary delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI), and shunt-related hydrocephalus. Secondary events (SSE) such as neuroinflammation, vasospasm, excitotoxicity, blood-brain barrier disruption, oxidative cascade, and neuronal apoptosis are related to DCI. Despite improvement in management strategies and therapeutic protocols, surviving patients frequently present neurological deficits with neurocognitive impairment. The aim of this paper is to offer to clinicians a practical review of the actually documented pathophysiological events following subarachnoid hemorrhage. To reach our goal we performed a literature review analyzing reported studies regarding the mediators involved in the pathophysiological events following SAH occurring in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) (hemoglobin degradation products, platelets, complement, cytokines, chemokines, leucocytes, endothelin-1, NO-synthase, osteopontin, matricellular proteins, blood-brain barrier disruption, microglia polarization). The cascade of pathophysiological events secondary to SAH is very complex and involves several interconnected, but also distinct pathways. The identification of single therapeutical targets or specific pharmacological agents may be a limited strategy able to block only selective pathophysiological paths, but not the global evolution of SAH-related events. We report furthermore on the role of heparin in SAH management and discuss the rationale for use of intrathecal heparin as a pleiotropic therapeutical agent. The combination of the anticoagulant effect and the ability to interfere with SSE theoretically make heparin a very interesting molecule for SAH management.

Abstract
The subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is an important cause of death and long-term disability worldwide. As a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide-dependent deacetylase, silent information regulator 1 (Sirt1) is a multipotent molecule involved in many pathophysiological processes. A growing number of studies have demonstrated that Sirt1 activation may exert positive effects on SAHs by regulating inflammation, oxidative stress, apoptosis, autophagy, and ferroptosis. Thus, Sirt1 agonists may serve as potential therapeutic drugs for SAHs. In this review, we summarized the current state of our knowledge on the relationship between Sirt1 and SAHs and provided an updated overview of the downstream molecules of Sirt1 in SAHs.

Abstract
An aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) is a subtype of stroke with high morbidity and mortality. The main causes of a poor prognosis include early brain injury (EBI) and delayed vasospasm, both of which play a significant role in the pathophysiological process. As an important mechanism of EBI and delayed vasospasm, oxidative stress plays an important role in the pathogenesis of aSAH by producing reactive oxygen species (ROS) through the mitochondria, hemoglobin, or enzymatic pathways in the early stages of aSAH. As a result, antioxidant therapy, which primarily targets the Nrf2-related pathway, can be employed as a potential strategy for treating aSAH. In the early stages of aSAH development, increasing the expression of antioxidant enzymes and detoxifying enzymes can relieve oxidative stress, reduce brain damage, and improve prognosis. Herein, the regulatory mechanisms of Nrf2 and related pharmacological compounds are reviewed, and Nrf2-targeted drugs are proposed as potential treatments for aSAH.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Several results demonstrated that microglia and peripheral monocytes/macrophages infiltrating the central nervous system (CNS) are involved in cell response against toxic compounds. It has been shown that rotenone induces neurodegeneration in various in vitro experimental models. Baicalin, a natural compound, is able to attenuate cell damage through anti-oxidant, anti-microbial, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulatory action. Using THP-1 monocytes, we investigated rotenone effects on mitochondrial dysfunction and apoptosis, as well as baicalin ability to counteract rotenone toxicity. METHODS AND RESULTS THP-1 cells were exposed to rotenone (250 nM), in the presence/absence of baicalin (10-500 μM) for 2-24 h. Reactive Oxygen Species production (ROS), mitochondrial activity and transmembrane potential (Δψm), DNA damage, and caspase-3 activity were assessed. Moreover, gene expression of mitochondrial transcription factor a (mtTFA), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl2) and BCL2-associated X protein (Bax), together with apoptotic morphological changes, were evaluated. After 2 h of rotenone incubation, increased ROS production and altered Δψm were observed, hours later resulting in DNA oxidative damage and apoptosis. Baicalin treatment at 50 µM counteracted rotenone toxicity by modulating the expression levels of some proteins involved in mitochondrial biogenesis and apoptosis. Interestingly, at higher baicalin concentrations, rotenone-induced alterations persisted. CONCLUSIONS These results give evidence that exposure to rotenone may promote the activation of THP-1 monocytes contributing to enhanced neurodegeneration. In this context, baicalin at low concentration exerts beneficial effects on mitochondrial function, and thus may prevent the onset of neurotoxic processes.

Abstract
Stroke is a sudden and rapidly progressing ischemic or hemorrhagic cerebrovascular disease. When stroke damages the brain, the immune system becomes hyperactive, leading to systemic inflammatory response and immunomodulatory disorders, which could significantly impact brain damage, recovery, and prognosis of stroke. Emerging researches suggest that ischemic stroke-induced spleen contraction could activate a peripheral immune response, which may further aggravate brain injury. This review focuses on hemorrhagic strokes including intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) and discusses the central nervous system-peripheral immune interactions after hemorrhagic stroke induction. First, inflammatory progression after ICH and SAH is investigated. As a part of this review, we summarize the various kinds of inflammatory cell infiltration to aggravate brain injury after blood-brain barrier interruption induced by hemorrhagic stroke. Then, we explore hemorrhagic stroke-induced systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and discuss the interactions of CNS and peripheral inflammatory response. In addition, potential targets related to inflammatory response for ICH and SAH are discussed in this review, which may lead to novel therapeutic strategies for hemorrhagic stroke.

Abstract
Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a dominant cause of death and disability worldwide. A sharp increase in intracranial pressure after SAH leads to a reduction in cerebral perfusion and insufficient blood supply for neurons, which subsequently promotes a series of pathophysiological responses leading to neuronal death. Many previous experimental studies have reported that excitotoxicity, mitochondrial death pathways, the release of free radicals, protein misfolding, apoptosis, necrosis, autophagy, and inflammation are involved solely or in combination in this disorder. Among them, irreversible neuronal apoptosis plays a key role in both short- and long-term prognoses after SAH. Neuronal apoptosis occurs through multiple pathways including extrinsic, mitochondrial, endoplasmic reticulum, p53 and oxidative stress. Meanwhile, a large number of blood contents enter the subarachnoid space after SAH, and the secondary metabolites, including oxygenated hemoglobin and heme, further aggravate the destruction of the blood-brain barrier and vasogenic and cytotoxic brain edema, causing early brain injury and delayed cerebral ischemia, and ultimately increasing neuronal apoptosis. Even there is no clear and effective therapeutic strategy for SAH thus far, but by understanding apoptosis, we might excavate new ideas and approaches, as targeting the upstream and downstream molecules of apoptosis-related pathways shows promise in the treatment of SAH. In this review, we summarize the existing evidence on molecules and related drugs or molecules involved in the apoptotic pathway after SAH, which provides a possible target or new strategy for the treatment of SAH.

Abstract
Objective Red blood cell (RBC) parameters are associated with outcomes following aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH), but their predictive value remains uncertain. This study aimed to detect the association between RBC parameters and functional outcome in aSAH patients undergoing surgical clipping. Methods This retrospective observational study included aSAH patients who underwent surgical clipping at Affiliated Hospital of North Sichuan Medical College between August 2016 and September 2019. The functional outcome following aSAH was assessed by modified Rankin Scale (mRS), and mRS 3-6 was defined as poor functional outcome. Results Out of 187 aSAH patients included (62% female, 51-66 years old), 73 patients had poor functional outcome. Multivariate logistic regression of admission parameters showed that World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies (WFNS) grade (odds ratio [95% CI]: 1.322 [1.023-1.707], p = 0.033) and white blood cell (WBC) (odds ratio [95% CI]: 1.136 [1.044-1.236], p = 0.003) were independently associated with poor functional outcome. In postoperative parameters, RBC distribution width (RDW) (odds ratio [95% CI]: 1.411 [1.095-1.818], p = 0.008), mean platelet volume (MPV, odds ratio [95% CI]: 1.253 [1.012-1.552], p = 0.039) and admission WFNS grade (odds ratio [95% CI]: 1.439 [1.119-1.850], p = 0.005) were independently associated with poor functional outcome. The predictive model including WFNS grade, admission WBC, and postoperative RDW and MPV had significantly higher predictive power compared to WFNS grade alone (0.787 [0.722-0.852] vs. 0.707 [0.630-0.784], p = 0.024). The combination of WFNS grade and WBC on admission showed the highest positive predictive value (75.5%) and postoperative RDW and MPV combined with admission WFNS grade and WBC showed the highest negative predictive value (83.7%). Conclusion Postoperative RDW is independently associated with poor functional outcome in aSAH patients undergoing surgical clipping. A combined model containing postoperative RDW may help predict good outcome in patients with aSAH after timely aneurysm clipping.

Oxidative Stress and Intracranial Hypertension after Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage. Antioxidants (Basel) 2022; 11:antiox11122423. [PMID: 36552631 PMCID: PMC9774559 DOI: 10.3390/antiox11122423] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/10/2022] [Revised: 11/25/2022] [Accepted: 12/06/2022] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Intracranial hypertension is a common phenomenon in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). Elevated intracranial pressure (ICP) plays an important role in early brain injuries and is associated with unfavorable outcomes. Despite advances in the management of aSAH, there is no consensus about the mechanisms involved in ICP increases after aSAH. Recently, a growing body of evidence suggests that oxidative stress (OS) may play a crucial role in physio-pathological changes following aSAH, which may also contribute to increased ICP. Herein, we discuss a potential relation between increased ICP and OS, and resultantly propose antioxidant mechanisms as a potential therapeutic strategy for the treatment of ICP elevation following aSAH.

Abstract
Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is one of the common clinical neurological emergencies. Its incidence accounts for about 5-9% of cerebral stroke patients. Even surviving patients often suffer from severe adverse prognoses such as hemiplegia, aphasia, cognitive dysfunction and even death. Inflammatory response plays an important role during early nerve injury in SAH. Toll-like receptors (TLRs), pattern recognition receptors, are important components of the body's innate immune system, and they are usually activated by damage-associated molecular pattern molecules. Studies have shown that with TLR 4 as an essential member of the TLRs family, the inflammatory transduction pathway mediated by it plays a vital role in brain injury after SAH. After SAH occurrence, large amounts of blood enter the subarachnoid space. This can produce massive damage-associated molecular pattern molecules that bind to TLR4, which activates inflammatory response and causes early brain injury, thus resulting in serious adverse prognoses. In this paper, the process in research on TLR4-mediated inflammatory response mechanism in brain injury after SAH was reviewed to provide a new thought for clinical treatment.

J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11236879. [PMID: 36498453 PMCID: PMC9737062 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11236879] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/20/2022] [Revised: 11/08/2022] [Accepted: 11/20/2022] [Indexed: 11/24/2022] Open
Abstract
(1) Background: CC chemokine ligand 23 (CCL23) is a chemokine implicated in the inflammatory response following brain damage. The aim of this study is to identify the change in serum CCL23 levels within 24 h after aSAH and whether serum CCL23 levels are associated with initial clinical severity, delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI), and functional outcome in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). (2) Methods: 102 patients with aSAH and 61 controls were included in this prospective observational study. All clinical data were collected prospectively, and their serum CCL23 levels were measured. Initial clinical severity was reflected by the Hunt-Hess score and mFisher score. Functional outcome was evaluated in terms of the Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) score at 6-month follow-up. (3) Results: Patients with aSAH had higher serum CCL23 levels than controls. The temporal profile of serum CCL23 levels and neutrophils count exhibited a sustained increase within 24 h after aSAH. Serum CCL23 levels were related to blood neutrophils count, blood CRP levels, and initial clinical severity. Serum CCL23 level was an independent predictor of DCI and 6-month poor outcome in aSAH patients. (4) Conclusions: Serum CCL23 levels emerged as an independent predictor for DCI and poor outcome in patients with aSAH.

Abstract
Ferroptosis, characterized by lipid peroxidation and intracellular iron accumulation, has been reported to be involving in the pathophysiological of early brain injury (EBI) after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Although taurine reportedly yields neuroprotective effects in multiple central neurological diseases and can attenuated neuron damage after stroke, its role in EBI after SAH remains unclear. The present study indicated that taurine levels in cerebrospinal fluid were significantly reduced in SAH patients, which suggested that taurine treatment after SAH could improve neurological impairment, oxidative stress, iron accumulation, BBB integrity and neuronal ferroptosis in the SAH model in vivo. Taurine could attenuate MDA levels and ROS accumulation and regulate the expression of SLC7A11 and GPX4 and the AKT/GSK3β pathway in vitro. GABAB receptor inhibition and Ly294002 could reverse the therapeutic effects of taurine and significantly downregulate the levels of p-AKT, p-GSK3β, β-catenin, SLC7A11 and GPX4. The protective effects of taurine on SLC7A11 and GPX4 expression were reversed by ICG001 treatment in vitro. Taken together, our findings revealed that taurine could improve neurological function and alleviate cerebral edema, oxidative stress and BBB disruption after SAH, which reduced neuronal ferroptosis by regulating the GABAB/AKT/GSK3β/β-catenin signaling pathway.

Abstract
Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) as a devastating neurological disorder is closely related to heightened oxidative insults and neuroinflammatory injury. Pinocembrin, a bioflavonoid, exhibits different biological functions, such as immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, antioxidative, and cerebroprotective activities. Herein, we examined the protective effects and molecular mechanisms of pinocembrin in a murine model of SAH. Using an endovascular perforation model in rats, pinocembrin significantly mitigated SAH-induced neuronal tissue damage, including inflammatory injury and free-radical insults. Meanwhile, pinocembrin improved behavior function and reduced neuronal apoptosis. We also revealed that sirtuin-1 (SIRT1) activation was significantly enhanced by pinocembrin. In addition, pinocembrin treatment evidently enhanced peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ coactivator expression and suppressed ac-nuclear factor-kappa B levels. In contrast, EX-527, a selective SIRT1 inhibitor, blunted the protective effects of pinocembrin against SAH by suppressing SIRT1-mediated signaling. These results suggested that the cerebroprotective actions of pinocembrin after SAH were through SIRT1-dependent pathway, suggesting the potential application of pinocembrin for the treatment of SAH.

Systemic Inflammatory Response in Spontaneous Subarachnoid Hemorrhage from Aneurysmal Rupture versus Subarachnoid Hemorrhage of Unknown Origin. J Inflamm Res 2022; 15:6329-6342. [PMID: 36415221 PMCID: PMC9676007 DOI: 10.2147/jir.s380101] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/08/2022] [Accepted: 10/26/2022] [Indexed: 09/09/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE It is well known that spontaneous non-aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), also known as sine materia SAH (smSAH), has usually a better course and prognosis than its aneurysmal counterpart (aSAH). This might depend on different inflammatory mechanisms initiated by bleeding events of different origins. The aim of the present study was to explore the systemic inflammatory response in spontaneous SAH, comparing aSAH and smSAH. METHODS We performed a prospective observational study over a consecutive series of patients with SAH. For these patients, we collected all clinical data and, furthermore, performed venous blood sampling over six time points to analyze blood cells. We further performed the analysis of lymphocytes and monocytes by means of flow cytometry to quantify common subtypes. Statistical analysis included a t-student test, Chi-square test, multivariate logistic regression, and ROC analysis. RESULTS 48 patients were included: six (12.5%) with a diagnosis of spontaneous smSAH, and forty-two patients (87.5%) with aSAH. Significant differences on Day 0 were found for neutrophils and a systemic neuro-inflammatory index, namely, systemic inflammatory response index (SIRI). At the ROC analysis, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR), and SIRI exhibited satisfactory predictive power on day 0. At the multivariable logistic regression analysis, the combined index (NLR, LMR, SIRI at day 0) yielded an OR of 0.59 (95% CI 0.29-1.21]). LMR at day 0 yielded an OR of 1.25 ([95% CI 0.94-1.68]), NLR at day 0 exhibited an OR of 0.68 ([95% CI 0.42-1.09]), and SIRI at day 0 displayed an OR of 0.31 ([95% CI 0.06-1.49]). CONCLUSION This preliminary study indicated a possible role of some inflammatory indices that point out the importance of innate and adaptive immunity in the etiopathogenetic mechanisms. Drugs modulating these responses could eventually counteract or, at least, reduce secondary damage associated with SAH.

Abstract
Background: Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) is a devastating hemorrhagic stroke with high disability and mortality. Neuroinflammation and the immunological response after aSAH are complex pathophysiological processes that have not yet been fully elucidated. Therefore, attention should be paid to exploring the inflammation-related genes involved in the systemic response to the rupture of intracranial aneurysms. Methods: The datasets of gene transcriptomes were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus database. We constructed a gene co-expression network to identify cluster genes associated with aSAH and screened out differentially expressed genes (DEGs). The common gene was subsequently applied to identify hub genes by protein-protein interaction analysis and screen signature genes by machine learning algorithms. CMap analysis was implemented to identify potential small-molecule compounds. Meanwhile, Cibersort and ssGSEA were used to evaluate the immune cell composition, and GSEA reveals signal biological pathways. Results: We identified 602 DEGs from the GSE36791. The neutrophil-related module associated with aSAH was screened by weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) and functional enrichment analysis. Several small molecular compounds were predicted based on neutrophil-related genes. MAPK14, ITGAM, TLR4, and FCGR1A have been identified as crucial genes involved in the peripheral immune activation related to neutrophils. Six significant genes (CST7, HSP90AB1, PADI4, PLBD1, RAB32, and SLAMF6) were identified as signature biomarkers by performing the LASSO analysis and SVM algorithms. The constructed machine learning model appears to be robust by receiver-operating characteristic curve analysis. The immune feature analysis demonstrated that neutrophils were upregulated post-aSAH and PADI4 was positively correlated with neutrophils. The NETs pathway was significantly upregulated in aSAH. Conclusion: We identified core regulatory genes influencing the transcription profiles of circulating neutrophils after the rupture of intracranial aneurysms using bioinformatics analysis and machine learning algorithms. This study provides new insight into the mechanism of peripheral immune response and inflammation after aSAH.

Abstract
Objective To evaluate the correlation of serum biological markers and related scales to the occurrence of delayed cerebral ischemia and clinical prognosis in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) complicated with acute hydrocephalus before admission. Methods The clinical data of 227 patients with pre-admission aSAH complicated with acute hydrocephalus admitted to Henan Provincial People's Hospital from April 2017 to December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were grouped according to the presence or absence of delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) after surgery and the prognosis at 6 months after discharge. Univariate and multivariable logistic regression analysis were performed to analyze the relationship between serum biological indicators combined with aneurysm related clinical score scale and the occurrence and prognosis of delayed cerebral ischemia. ROC curves and nomogram were drawn. Results Multivariable Logistic regression analysis showed that high Hunt-Hess grade and surgical clipping were independent risk factors for postoperative DCI (P < 0.05). Older age, higher Hunt-Hess grade, higher CRP and neutrophil levels were independent risk factors for poor prognosis at 6 months after surgery (P < 0.05). ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve (AUC) of Hunt-Hess grade and surgical method for predicting DCI in patients with aSAH combined with hydrocephalus after surgery were 0.665 and 0.593. The combined AUC of Hunt-Hess grade and surgical method was 0.685, the sensitivity was 64.9%, and the specificity was 64.7%. The AUC of CRP, neutrophil, age and Hunt-Hess grade for predicting poor prognosis in patients with aSAH combined with hydrocephalus at 6 months after surgery were 0.804, 0.735, 0.596, 0.757, respectively. The combined AUC of CRP, neutrophil, age, Hunt-Hess grade was 0.879, the sensitivity was 79%, and the specificity was 84.5%. According to the correction curve, the predicted probability of the nomogram is basically consistent with the actual probability. Conclusion Hunt-Hess grade and surgical method are independent predictors of postoperative DCI in patients with aSAH complicated with hydrocephalus. “CRP,” “neutrophil,” “age” and “Hunt-Hess grade” at admission are independent predictors of clinical prognosis in patients with aSAH complicated with hydrocephalus. The combination of the above indicators has high predictive value.

Celecoxib and Etoricoxib may reduce risk of ischemic stroke in patients with rheumatoid arthritis: A nationwide retrospective cohort study. Front Neurol 2022; 13:1018521. [PMID: 36341096 PMCID: PMC9630581 DOI: 10.3389/fneur.2022.1018521] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/17/2022] [Accepted: 10/06/2022] [Indexed: 12/02/2022] Open
Abstract
Background and purpose Previous studies reported conflicting results about the risk of ischemic stroke associated with the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). We aimed to investigate two specific COX-2 inhibitors, Celecoxib and Etoricoxib, and their corresponding effects on the risk of ischemic stroke in patients with RA. Patients and methods 10,857 patients newly diagnosed with RA were identified and sampled from the Taiwanese National Health Insurance Research Database during the period from 2001 to 2009. The identification of RA was based on the criteria of ICD-9-CM diagnosis code 714.0. Patients diagnosed with cerebrovascular disease and those receiving RA treatment prior to the first diagnosis of RA were excluded. Study endpoint was ischemic stroke, defined by ICD-9-CM code. Cox proportional hazard models and Kaplan Meier curves were used to reveal covariates and differences by drugs in the risk of ischemic stroke. Dosages for Celecoxib were defined as ≤ 200 and >200 mg/day; those for Etoricoxib were 0 and >0 mg/day. Results Among 7,904 RA patients, 6,669 did not take Celecoxib and 564 (8.46%) of them experienced an ischemic stroke event. Of the 597 individuals who took ≤ 200 mg/day of Celecoxib, 58 (9.72%) had strokes. Of the 638 patients who took >200 mg/day of Celecoxib, 38 (5.96%) eventually experienced a stroke. Among the 7,681 patients who did not take Etoricoxib, 654 (8.51%) experienced an ischemic stroke, while 6 (2.69%) in 223 patients who consumed Etoricoxib had a stroke event. Consuming more than 200 mg of Celecoxib per day for <3.5 years lowered the incidence rate for strokes [hazard ratio (HR) 0.67, 95% Confidence Interval (CI) 0.48–0.93 for dosage and HR 0.22, 95% CI 0.10–0.46 for duration, both p < 0.001], while consuming any dosage of Etoricoxib significantly decreases the possibility (HR 0.35, 95% CI 0.16–0.80, p < 0.001). On the other hand, consuming Etoricoxib for 8 years might have a neutral or even a potentially protective effect compared to at 3.8 years. Conclusion This population-based retrospective cohort study has shown that Celecoxib and Etoricoxib reduce the risk of ischemic stroke in patients with RA in a dose- and time-dependent manner.

Abstract
Delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) continues to be a sequela of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) that carries significant morbidity and mortality. Aside from nimodipine, no therapeutic agents are available to reduce the incidence of DCI. Pathophysiologic mechanisms contributing to DCI are poorly understood, but accumulating evidence over the years implicates several factors. Those have included microvessel vasoconstriction, microthrombosis, oxidative tissue damage, and cortical spreading depolarization as well as large vessel vasospasm. Common to these processes is red blood cell leakage into the cerebrospinal fluids (CSF) and subsequent lysis which releases hemoglobin, a central instigator in these events. This has led to the hypothesis that early blood removal may improve clinical outcome and reduce DCI. This paper will provide a narrative review of the evidence of hemoglobin as an instigator of DCI. It will also elaborate on available human data that discuss blood clearance and CSF drainage as a treatment of DCI. Finally, we will address a recent novel device that is currently being tested, the Neurapheresis CSF Management System™. This is an automated dual-lumen lumbar drainage system that has an option to filter CSF and return it to the patient.

Isoliquiritigenin mitigates oxidative damage after subarachnoid hemorrhage in vivo and in vitro by regulating Nrf2-dependent Signaling Pathway via Targeting of SIRT1. PHYTOMEDICINE : INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PHYTOTHERAPY AND PHYTOPHARMACOLOGY 2022; 105:154262. [PMID: 35896045 DOI: 10.1016/j.phymed.2022.154262] [Citation(s) in RCA: 27] [Impact Index Per Article: 13.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/17/2022] [Revised: 05/31/2022] [Accepted: 06/08/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Oxidative stress is a crucial factor leading to subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH)-induced early brain injury (EBI). Isoliquiritigenin has been verified as a powerful anti-oxidant in a variety of diseases models and can activate sirtuin 1 and nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) pathways. However, the effects of isoliquiritigenin against EBI after SAH and the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. PURPOSE The primary goal of this study is to verify the therapeutic effects of isoliquiritigenin on EBI after SAH and the possible molecular mechanisms. STUDY DESIGN A prechiasmatic cistern SAH model in rats and a hemoglobin incubation SAH model in primary neurons were established. Isoliquiritigenin was administered after SAH induction. EX527 was employed to inhibit sirtuin 1 activation and ML385 was used to suppress Nrf2 signaling. METHODS In our study, neurological scores, brain edema, biochemical estimation, western blotting, and histopathological study were performed to explore the therapeutic action of isoliquiritigenin against SAH. RESULTS Our data revealed that isoliquiritigenin significantly mitigated oxidative damage after SAH as evidenced by decreased reactive oxygen species overproduction and enhanced intrinsic anti-oxidative system. Concomitant with the reduced oxidative insults, isoliquiritigenin improved neurological function and reduced neuronal death in the early period after SAH. Additionally, isoliquiritigenin administration significantly enhanced Nrf2 and sirtuin 1 expressions. Inhibition of Nrf2 by ML385 reversed the anti-oxidative and neuroprotective effects of isoliquiritigenin against SAH. Moreover, inhibiting sirtuin 1 by EX527 pretreatment suppressed isoliquiritigenin-induced Nrf2-dependent pathway and abated the cerebroprotective effects of isoliquiritigenin. In primary cortical neurons, isoliquiritigenin treatment also ameliorated oxidative insults and repressed neuronal degeneration. The beneficial aspects of isoliquiritigenin were attributed to the promotion of sirtuin 1 and Nrf2 signaling pathways and were counteracted by EX527. CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that isoliquiritigenin exerts cerebroprotective effects against SAH-induced oxidative insults by modulating the Nrf2-mediated anti-oxidant signaling in part through sirtuin 1 activation. Isoliquiritigenin might be a new potential drug candidate for SAH.

Abstract
Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH), resulting majorly from the rupture of intracranial aneurysms, is a potentially devastating disease with high morbidity and mortality. The bleeding aneurysms can be successfully secured; however, the toxic and mechanical impact of the blood extravasation into the subarachnoid space damages the brain cells leading to the release of different damage-associated molecular pattern molecules (DAMPs). DAMPs upregulate the inflammation after binding their cognate receptors on the immune cells and underlies the early and delayed brain injury after aSAH. Moreover, these molecules are also associated with different post-aSAH complications, which lead to poor clinical outcomes. Among these DAMPs, HMGB1 represents a prototypical protein DAMP that has been well characterized for its proinflammatory role after aSAH and during different post-aSAH complications. However, recent investigations have uncovered yet another face of HMGB1, which is involved in the promotion of brain tissue remodeling, neurovascular repair, and anti-inflammatory effects after SAH. These different faces rely on different redox states of HMGB1 over the course of time after SAH. Elucidation of the dynamics of these redox states of HMGB1 has high biomarker as well as therapeutic potential. This review mainly highlights these recent findings along with the conventionally described normal role of HMGB1 as a nuclear protein and as a proinflammatory molecule during disease (aSAH).

Abstract
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), the second most common subtype of stroke, remains a significant cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. The pathological mechanism of ICH is very complex, and it has been demonstrated that oxidative stress (OS) plays an important role in the pathogenesis of ICH. Previous studies have shown that OS is a therapeutic target after ICH, and antioxidants have also achieved some benefits in the treatment of ICH. This review aimed to explore the promise of natural products therapy to target OS in ICH. We searched PubMed using the keywords "oxidative stress in intracerebral hemorrhage" and "natural products in intracerebral hemorrhage". Numerous animal and cell studies on ICH have demonstrated the potent antioxidant properties of natural products, including polyphenols and phenolic compounds, terpenoids, alkaloids, etc. In summary, natural products such as antioxidants offer the possibility of treatment of OS after ICH. However, researchers still have a long way to go to apply these natural products for the treatment of ICH more widely in the clinic.

Abstract
Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a common acute and severe disease worldwide, which imposes a heavy burden on families and society. However, the current therapeutic strategies for SAH are unsatisfactory. Hydrogen sulfide (H2 S), as the third gas signaling molecule after carbon monoxide and nitric oxide, has been widely studied recently. There is growing evidence that H2 S has a promising future in the treatment of central nervous system diseases. In this review, we focus on the effects of H2 S in experimental SAH and elucidate the underlying mechanisms. We demonstrate that H2 S has neuroprotective effects and significantly reduces secondary damage caused by SAH via antioxidant, antiinflammatory, and antiapoptosis mechanisms, and by alleviating cerebral edema and vasospasm. Based on these findings, we believe that H2 S has great potential in the treatment of SAH and warrants further study to promote its early clinical application.

Abstract
The identification of robust circulating biomarkers of stroke may improve outcomes. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of serum concentrations of ischaemia-modified albumin (IMA) in subjects with or without acute ischaemic stroke (AIS), intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH), and subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH). We searched PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and Google Scholar from inception to March 2022. Risk of bias and certainty of evidence were assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal Checklist and GRADE, respectively. In 17 studies, IMA concentrations were significantly higher in patients with AIS (standard mean difference, SMD = 2.52, 95% CI 1.92 to 3.12; p < 0.001), ICH (SMD = 3.13, 95% CI 1.00 to 5.25; p = 0.004), and SAH (SMD = 4.50, 95% CI 0.91 to 7.01; p = 0.014) vs. controls (very low certainty of evidence). In AIS, the effect size was associated with the male gender, and was relatively larger in studies conducted in Egypt and India and those using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. IMA concentrations were progressively higher, by direct comparison, in SAH, ICH, and AIS. In sensitivity analysis, the pooled SMDs were not altered when individual studies were sequentially removed. Our meta-analysis suggests that IMA concentrations might be useful to diagnose stroke and discriminate between AIS, ICH, and SAH (PROSPERO registration number: CRD42021320535).

Abstract
Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a common cerebrovascular disease with high mortality and disability rates. Despite progressive advances in drugs and surgical techniques, neurological dysfunction in surviving SAH patients have not improved significantly. Traditionally, vasospasm has been considered the main cause of death and disability following SAH, but anti-vasospasm therapy has not benefited clinical prognosis. Many studies have proposed that early brain injury (EBI) may be the primary factor influencing the prognosis of SAH. Melatonin is an indole hormone and is the main hormone secreted by the pineal gland, with low daytime secretion levels and high nighttime secretion levels. Melatonin produces a wide range of biological effects through the neuroimmune endocrine network, and participates in various physiological activities in the central nervous system, reproductive system, immune system, and digestive system. Numerous studies have reported that melatonin has extensive physiological and pharmacological effects such as anti-oxidative stress, anti-inflammation, maintaining circadian rhythm, and regulating cellular and humoral immunity. In recent years, more and more studies have been conducted to explore the molecular mechanism underlying melatonin-induced neuroprotection. The studies suggest beneficial effects in the recovery of intracerebral hemorrhage, cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury, spinal cord injury, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and meningitis through anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and anti-apoptotic mechanisms. This review summarizes the recent studies on the application and mechanism of melatonin in SAH.

Edaravone Dexborneol Treatment Attenuates Neuronal Apoptosis and Improves Neurological Function by Suppressing 4-HNE-Associated Oxidative Stress After Subarachnoid Hemorrhage. Front Pharmacol 2022; 13:848529.

Abstract
Edaravone dexborneol is a novel neuroprotective drug that comprises edaravone and (+)-borneol in a 4:1 ratio. Phase II and III studies have demonstrated that Chinese patients treated with edaravone dexborneol within 48 h of AIS onset have better functional outcomes than those treated with edaravone alone. However, the effect of edaravone dexborneol on subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) has not yet been elucidated. This study aimed to investigate the therapeutic effects of edaravone dexborneol on SAH-induced brain injury and long-term behavioral deficits and to explore the possible mechanisms. The experimental rat SAH model was induced by an intraluminal puncture of the left middle cerebral artery (MCA). Edaravone dexborneol or edaravone at a clinical dose was infused into the tail vein for 3 days post-SAH surgery. Behavioral outcomes were assessed by a modified Garcia scoring system and rotarod, foot-fault, and corner tests. Immunofluorescence, Western blot, and ELISA methods were used to evaluate neuronal damage and oxidative stress. Our results showed that a post-SAH therapeutic regimen with edaravone dexborneol helped improve neurological function up to 21 days after SAH surgery and demonstrated a greater beneficial effect than edaravone alone, accompanied by an obvious inhibition of neuronal apoptosis in the CA1 hippocampus and basal cortex regions. Mechanistically, edaravone dexborneol not only suppressed the lipid peroxidation product malondialdehyde (MDA) but also improved the total antioxidant capability (TAC) 3 days after SAH. Notably, edaravone dexborneol treatment significantly inhibited the expression of another lipid peroxidation product, 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE), in the CA1 hippocampus and basal cortex, which are vital participants in the process of neuronal oxidative damage and death after SAH because of their acute cytotoxicity. Together, our results demonstrate that edaravone dexborneol confers neuroprotection and stabilizes long-term behavioral ability after SAH injury, possibly by suppressing 4-HNE-associated oxidative stress. These results may help develop new clinical strategies for SAH treatment.

Abstract
Background Inflammation is closely associated with prognosis in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH), which is orchestrated by inflammatory cytokines. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the levels of inflammatory cytokines in the early stage of aSAH and their predictive value for prognosis. Methods In this retrospective study, 206 patients with aSAH were recruited and assigned to a severe group (WFNS grade ≥ 4) and a mild group (WFNS grade < 4) according to the severity of patients on admission. Flow cytometry was performed to detect the levels of 12 inflammatory cytokines in the serum of patients. Then, patients were grouped into a poor prognosis group (mRS score ≥ 4) and a good prognosis group (mRS score < 4) based on their prognosis after 3 months of discharge to compare the relationship between cytokines and prognosis. Propensity score matching (PSM) was utilized to control confounding factors. The correlation between inflammatory factors and prognosis was determined using Spearman correlation, and the predictive efficacy of inflammatory factors was tested by a receiver operating characteristic curve. Results Serum IL-1β, IL-5, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IFN-γ, and TNF-α levels were significantly higher in the mild group than in the severe group and in the poor prognosis group than in the good prognosis group. After PSM, the differences in IL-1β, IL-5, IFN-α, and IFN-γ levels disappeared between the two groups, whereas IL-2, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, and TNF-α levels remained higher in the poor prognosis group than in the good prognosis group. Additionally, IL-2, IL-6, IL-8, and IL-10 levels were positively correlated with mRS scores. Moreover, the predictive value was found to be the highest for IL-6 and the lowest for TNF-α. Conclusion Inflammation degree was related to the severity of aSAH. Inflammatory markers, including IL-6, IL-10, IL-8, IL-2, and TNF-α, might predict the poor prognosis of aSAH.

Abstract
Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a substantial cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. Moreover, survivors after the initial bleeding are often subject to secondary brain injuries and delayed cerebral ischemia, further increasing the risk of a poor outcome. In recent years, the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) has been proposed as a target pathway for therapeutic interventions after brain injury. The RAS is a complex system of biochemical reactions critical for several systemic functions, namely, inflammation, vascular tone, endothelial activation, water balance, fibrosis, and apoptosis. The RAS system is classically divided into a pro-inflammatory axis, mediated by angiotensin (Ang)-II and its specific receptor AT1R, and a counterbalancing system, presented in humans as Ang-(1-7) and its receptor, MasR. Experimental data suggest that upregulation of the Ang-(1-7)/MasR axis might be neuroprotective in numerous pathological conditions, namely, ischemic stroke, cognitive disorders, Parkinson's disease, and depression. In the presence of SAH, Ang-(1-7)/MasR neuroprotective and modulating properties could help reduce brain damage by acting on neuroinflammation, and through direct vascular and anti-thrombotic effects. Here we review the role of RAS in brain ischemia, with specific focus on SAH and the therapeutic potential of Ang-(1-7).

Abstract
Background Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and MSCs-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) have emerged as potential novel therapies for subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). However, their effects remain incompletely understood. We aim to comprehensively evaluate the effect of MSCs-derived therapies in rodent models of SAH. Methods We searched PubMed, EMBASE, and Web of Science up to September 2021 to identify studies that reported the effects of MSCs or MSCs-derived EVs in a rodent SAH model. Neurobehavioral score was extracted as the functional outcome, and brain water content was measured as the histopathological outcome. A random-effects model was used to calculate the standardized mean difference (SMD) and confidence interval (CI). Results Nine studies published from 2018 to 2021 met the inclusion criteria. Studies quality scores ranged from 5 to 10, with a mean value of 7.22. Our results revealed an overall positive effect of MSCs and MSCs-derived EVs on the neurobehavioral score with a SMD of − 2.21 (95% CI − 3.14, − 1.08; p < 0.0001). Meanwhile, we also found that MSCs and MSCs-derived EVs reduced brain water content by a SMD of − 2.09 (95% CI − 2.99, − 1.19; p < 0.00001). Significant heterogeneity among studies was observed, further stratified and sensitivity analyses did not identify the source of heterogeneity. Conclusions Our results suggested that MSCs-derived therapies prominently improved functional recovery and reduced brain edema in the rodent models of SAH. Notably, the limitations of small sample size should be considered when interpreting the results, and large animal studies and human trials are needed for further investigation.
