Song Y, Luo X, Yao L, Chen Y, Mao X. A Novel Mechanism Linking Melatonin, Ferroptosis and Microglia Polarization via the Circodz3/HuR Axis in Subarachnoid Hemorrhage. Neurochem Res 2024; 49:2556-2572. [PMID: 38888828 DOI: 10.1007/s11064-024-04193-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/15/2024] [Revised: 05/23/2024] [Accepted: 06/06/2024] [Indexed: 06/20/2024]
Abstract
A subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is life-threatening bleeding into the subarachnoid space that causes brain damage. Growing evidence has suggested that melatonin provides neuroprotection following SAH. Exploring the mechanisms underlying melatonin-mediated neuroprotection contributes to its clinical application in SAH. The plasma and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) were collected from SAH patients, and SAH mice were established via pre-chiasmatic injection. Circodz3 expression, levels of IL-1β and TNF-α, brain water content, neurological and beam-waling scores were determined. Ferroptosis was evaluated by analyzing levels of iron, lipid ROS, MDA, and GSH. The colocalization of circodz3 and Iba-1 was analyzed by immunofluorescence staining. Interaction of circodz3 and HuR was determined with RNA pull-down and RNA immunoprecipitation assays. Herein, we found that circodz3 was highly abundant in SAH patients and mice. Colocalization of circodz3 and Iba-1 in the left hemisphere of SAH mice suggested the implication of circodz3 in regulating microglia activation following SAH. Melatonin alleviated brain edema, neurological impairment, and microglia activation and inhibited circodz3 expression in SAH mice. Moreover, melatonin inhibited M1 polarization, oxidative stress and ferroptosis and restrained circodz3 expression in primary microglia following SAH. These effects were abrogated by circodz3 overexpression. Circodz3 knockdown inhibited ferroptosis and M1 polarization of BV2 microglia after SAH. Circodz3 interacted with HuR to facilitate β-Trcp1-mediated ubiquitination and degradation, thus restraining the expression of SLC7A11 and GPX4. Collectively, melatonin exerted neuroprotection following SAH via inhibiting ferroptosis and M1 polarization through the circodz3/HuR axis. Our study suggests potential application of melatonin in the treatment of SAH.

Abstract
PURPOSE We aimed to investigate early effects of exogenously administered adropin (AD) on neurological function, endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) expression, nitrite/nitrate levels, oxidative stress, and apoptosis in subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). METHODS Following intracerebroventricular AD administration (10 µg/5 µl at a rate of 1 µl/min) SAH model was carried out in Sprague-Dawley rats by injection of autologous blood into the prechiasmatic cistern. The effects of AD were assessed 24 h following SAH. The modified Garcia score was employed to evaluate functional insufficiencies. Adropin and caspase-3 proteins were measured by ELISA, while nitrite/nitrate levels, total antioxidant capacity (TAC) and reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (ROS/RNS) were assayed by standard kits. eNOS expression and apoptotic neurons were detected by immunohistochemical analysis. RESULTS The SAH group performed notably lower on the modified Garcia score compared to sham and SAH + AD groups. Adropin administration increased brain eNOS expression, nitrite/nitrate and AD levels compared to SHAM and SAH groups. SAH produced enhanced ROS/RNS generation and reduced antioxidant capacity in the brain. Adropin boosted brain TAC and diminished ROS/RNS production in SAH rats and no considerable change amongst SHAM and SAH + AD groups were detected. Apoptotic cells were notably increased in intensity and number after SAH and were reduced by AD administration. CONCLUSIONS Adropin increases eNOS expression and reduces neurobehavioral deficits, oxidative stress, and apoptotic cell death in SAH model. Presented results indicate that AD provides protection in early brain injury associated with SAH.

Abstract
The mechanism by which subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) leads to chronic neurologic deficits is unclear. One possibility is that blood activates microglia to drive inflammation that leads to synaptic loss and impaired brain function. Using the endovascular perforation model of SAH in rats, we investigated short-term effects on microglia together with long-term effects on EEG and neurologic function for up to 3 months. Within the first week, microglia were increased both at the site of injury and diffusely across the cortex (2.5-fold increase in SAH compared to controls, p = 0.012). Concomitantly, EEGs from SAH animals showed focal increases in slow wave activity and diffuse reduction in fast activity. When expressed as a fast-slow spectral ratio, there were significant interactions between group and time (p < 0.001) with less ipsilateral recovery over time. EEG changes were most pronounced during the first week and correlated with neurobehavioral impairment. In vitro, the blood product hemin was sufficient to increase microglia phagocytosis nearly six-fold (p = 0.032). Immunomodulatory treatment with fingolimod after SAH reduced microglia, improved neurological function, and increased survival. These findings, which parallel many of the EEG changes seen in patients, suggest that targeting neuroinflammation could reduce long-term neurologic dysfunction following SAH.

Abstract
The Circle of Willis perforation (cWp) mouse model is a key tool in subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) research; however, inconsistent bleeding volumes can challenge experimental reliability. To address this issue, we introduced the ROB Scoring System, a novel protocol integrating Rotarod Tests (RT), Open-field Tests (OT) video analysis, and daily Body Weight Loss (BWL) monitoring to precisely categorize SAH severity. Forty C57BL/6 mice underwent cWp SAH induction, categorized by ROB into severity subgroups (severe, moderate, mild). Validation compared ROB trends in subgroups, and ROB outcomes with autopsy results on postoperative days three and seven for acute and sub-acute evaluations. Mortality rates were analyzed via the survival log-rank test, revealing a significant difference among SAH subgroups (P < 0.05). Strong correlations between ROB grades and autopsy findings underscored its precision. Notably, the severe group exhibited 100% mortality within 4 days post SAH onset. Single parameters (RT, OT, BWL) were insufficient for distinguishing SAH severity levels. The ROB score represents a significant advancement, offering an objective method for precise categorization and addressing inherent bleeding variations in the cWp SAH model. This standardized protocol enhances the reliability and effectiveness of the SAH translational research, providing a valuable tool for future investigations into this critical area.

Abstract
In this study, binary amorphous solid dispersions (ASDs, fisetin-Eudragit®) and ternary amorphous solid inclusions (ASIs, fisetin-Eudragit®-HP-β-cyclodextrin) of fisetin (FIS) were prepared by the mechanochemical method without solvent. The amorphous nature of FIS in ASDs and ASIs was confirmed using XRPD (X-ray powder diffraction). DSC (Differential scanning calorimetry) confirmed full miscibility of multicomponent delivery systems. FT-IR (Fourier-transform infrared analysis) confirmed interactions that stabilize FIS's amorphous state and identified the functional groups involved. The study culminated in evaluating the impact of amorphization on water solubility and conducting in vitro antioxidant assays: 2,2-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid)-ABTS, 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl-DPPH, Cupric Reducing Antioxidant Capacity-CUPRAC, and Ferric Reducing Antioxidant Power-FRAP and in vitro neuroprotective assays: inhibition of acetylcholinesterase-AChE and butyrylcholinesterase-BChE. In addition, molecular docking allowed for the determination of possible bonds and interactions between FIS and the mentioned above enzymes. The best preparation turned out to be ASI_30_EPO (ASD fisetin-Eudragit® containing 30% FIS in combination with HP-β-cyclodextrin), which showed an improvement in apparent solubility (126.5 ± 0.1 µg∙mL-1) and antioxidant properties (ABTS: IC50 = 10.25 µg∙mL-1, DPPH: IC50 = 27.69 µg∙mL-1, CUPRAC: IC0.5 = 9.52 µg∙mL-1, FRAP: IC0.5 = 8.56 µg∙mL-1) and neuroprotective properties (inhibition AChE: 39.91%, and BChE: 42.62%).

Abstract
Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) carries significant mortality and morbidity, with nearly half of SAH survivors having major cognitive dysfunction that impairs their functional status, emotional health, and quality of life. Apart from the initial hemorrhage severity, secondary brain injury due to early brain injury and delayed cerebral ischemia plays a leading role in patient outcome after SAH. While many strategies to combat secondary brain injury have been developed in preclinical studies and tested in late phase clinical trials, only one (nimodipine) has proven efficacious for improving long-term functional outcome. The causes of these failures are likely multitude, but include use of therapies targeting only one element of what has proven to be multifactorial brain injury process. Conditioning is a therapeutic strategy that leverages endogenous protective mechanisms to exert powerful and remarkably pleiotropic protective effects against injury to all major cell types of the CNS. The aim of this article is to review the current body of evidence for the use of conditioning agents in SAH, summarize the underlying neuroprotective mechanisms, and identify gaps in the current literature to guide future investigation with the long-term goal of identifying a conditioning-based therapeutic that significantly improves functional and cognitive outcomes for SAH patients.

Abstract
The murine model of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a valuable experimental tool for investigating molecular and cellular mechanisms, and the endovascular filament perforation technique can be used to simulate prominent pathophysiological features observed after human SAH; however, current validation methods for assessing an appropriate SAH model are limited. Here, we introduce a simple procedure for selecting a mouse model of diffuse SAH. SAH was induced in 24 mice using a standard filament perforation method. After confirming survival at 24 h, SAH was scored 0-1 based on T2*-weighted images on whole-brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and visual surveillance of the cisterna magna (CM) through the dura mater. The CM-based SAH grading correlated well with a reference parameter defined by extracted brain (r2 = 0.53, p < 0.0001). The receiver operating characteristic curve revealed a sensitivity of 85% and a specificity of 91% for detecting diffuse SAH, with a similar area under the curve (0.89 ± 0.06 [standard error of the mean]) as the MRI-based grading (0.72 ± 0.10, p = 0.12). Our data suggest that confirming an SAH clot in the CM is a valuable way to select a clinically relevant diffuse SAH model that can be used in future experimental studies.

Abstract
Subarachnoid hemorrhage is an acute life-threatening cerebrovascular disease with high socio-economic impact. The most frequent cause, the rupture of an intracerebral aneurysm, is accompanied by abrupt changes in intracerebral pressure, cerebral perfusion pressure and, consequently, cerebral blood flow. As aneurysms rupture spontaneously, monitoring of these parameters in patients is only possible with a time delay, upon hospitalization. To study alterations in cerebral perfusion immediately upon ictus, animal models are mandatory. This article addresses the points necessarily to be included in an animal project proposal according to EU directive 2010/63/EU for the protection of animals used for scientific purposes and herewith offers an insight into animal welfare aspects of using rodent models for the investigation of cerebral perfusion after subarachnoid hemorrhage. It compares surgeries, model characteristics, advantages, and drawbacks of the most-frequently used rodent models-the endovascular perforation model and the prechiasmatic and single or double cisterna magna injection model. The topics of discussing anesthesia, advice on peri- and postanesthetic handling of animals, assessing the severity of suffering the animals undergo during the procedure according to EU directive 2010/63/EU and weighing the use of these in vivo models for experimental research ethically are also presented. In conclusion, rodent models of subarachnoid hemorrhage display pathophysiological characteristics, including changes of cerebral perfusion similar to the clinical situation, rendering the models suited to study the sequelae of the bleeding. A current problem is low standardization of the models, wherefore reporting according to the ARRIVE guidelines is highly recommended. Animal welfare aspects of rodent models of subarachnoid hemorrhage. Rodent models for investigation of cerebral perfusion after subarachnoid hemorrhage are compared regarding surgeries and model characteristics, and 3R measures are suggested. Anesthesia is discussed, and advice given on peri- and postanesthetic handling. Severity of suffering according to 2010/63/EU is assessed and use of these in vivo models weighed ethically.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/IMPORTANCE Delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) is the second-leading cause of death and disability in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH), and is associated with cerebral arterial vasospasm (CAV). Current treatments for CAV are expensive, invasive, and have limited efficacy. Cervical sympathetic block (CSB) is an underappreciated, but potentially highly effective therapy for CAV. OBJECTIVE To provide a comprehensive review of the preclinical and human literature pertinent to CSB in the context of CAV. EVIDENCE REVIEW This study followed Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Extension for Scoping Reviews guidelines. We conducted a literature search using Embase, PubMed, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Scopus and Web of Science until February 2022, to identify abstracts, conference proceedings, and full-text papers pertinent to cervical sympathectomy and CAV in animal/adult patients. FINDINGS We included six human and six experimental studies. Human studies were mostly prospective observational, except one retrospective and one randomized clinical trial, and used various imaging modalities to measure changes in arterial diameter after the block. Studies that used digital subtraction angiography showed an improvement in cerebral perfusion without change in vessel diameter. Transcranial Doppler studies found an approximately 15% statistically significant decrease in velocities consistent with arterial vasodilatation. Overall, the results suggest an increase in cerebral arterial diameter and neurological improvement in patients receiving a CSB. Animal studies demonstrate that sympathetic system ablation vasodilates cerebral vasculature and decreases the incidence of symptomatic vasospasm. CONCLUSIONS This scoping review suggests that CSB may be a viable option for treatment and prevention of CAV/DCI in patients with aSAH, although the included studies were heterogeneous, mostly observational, and with a small sample size. Further research is needed to standardize the technique and prove its effectiveness to treat patients suffering of CAV/DCI after aSAH.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Brain perivascular macrophages (PVMs) are potential treatment targets for subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), and previous studies revealed that their depletion by clodronate (CLD) improved outcomes after experimental SAH. However, the underlying mechanisms are not well understood. Therefore, we investigated whether reducing PVMs by CLD pretreatment improves SAH prognosis by inhibiting posthemorrhagic impairment of cerebral blood flow (CBF). METHODS In total, 80 male Sprague-Dawley rats received an intracerebroventricular injection of the vehicle (liposomes) or CLD. Subsequently, the rats were categorized into the prechiasmatic saline injection (sham) and blood injection (SAH) groups after 72 h. We assessed its effects on weak and severe SAH, which were induced by 200- and 300-µL arterial blood injections, respectively. In addition, neurological function at 72 h and CBF changes from before the intervention to 5 min after were assessed in rats after sham/SAH induction as the primary and secondary end points, respectively. RESULTS CLD significantly reduced PVMs before SAH induction. Although pretreatment with CLD in the weak SAH group provided no additive effects on the primary end point, rats in the severe SAH group showed significant improvement in the rotarod test. In the severe SAH group, CLD inhibited acute reduction of CBF and tended to decrease hypoxia-inducible factor 1α expression. Furthermore, CLD reduced the number of PVMs in rats subjected to sham and SAH surgery, although no effects were observed in oxidative stress and inflammation. CONCLUSIONS Our study proposes that pretreatment with CLD-targeting PVMs can improve the prognosis of severe SAH through a candidate mechanism of inhibition of posthemorrhagic CBF reduction.

Effect of isolated intracranial hypertension on cerebral perfusion within the phase of primary disturbances after subarachnoid hemorrhage in rats. Front Cell Neurosci 2023; 17:1115385. [PMID: 37502465 PMCID: PMC10368889 DOI: 10.3389/fncel.2023.1115385] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/03/2022] [Accepted: 06/05/2023] [Indexed: 07/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Introduction Elevated intracranial pressure (ICP) and blood components are the main trigger factors starting the complex pathophysiological cascade following subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). It is not clear whether they independently contribute to tissue damage or whether their impact cannot be differentiated from each other. We here aimed to establish a rat intracranial hypertension model that allows distinguishing the effects of these two factors and investigating the relationship between elevated ICP and hypoperfusion very early after SAH. Methods Blood or four different types of fluids [gelofusine, silicone oil, artificial cerebrospinal fluid (aCSF), aCSF plus xanthan (CX)] were injected into the cisterna magna in anesthetized rats, respectively. Arterial blood pressure, ICP and cerebral blood flow (CBF) were continuously measured up to 6 h after injection. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays were performed to measure the pro-inflammatory cytokines interleukin 6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) in brain cortex and peripheral blood. Results Silicone oil injection caused deaths of almost all animals. Compared to blood, gelofusine resulted in lower peak ICP and lower plateau phase. Artificial CSF reached a comparable ICP peak value but failed to reach the ICP plateau of blood injection. Injection of CX with comparable viscosity as blood reproduced the ICP course of the blood injection group. Compared with the CBF course after blood injection, CX induced a comparable early global ischemia within the first minutes which was followed by a prompt return to baseline level with no further hypoperfusion despite an equal ICP course. The inflammatory response within the tissue did not differ between blood or blood-substitute injection. The systemic inflammation was significantly more pronounced in the CX injection group compared with the other fluids including blood. Discussion By cisterna magna injection of blood substitution fluids, we established a subarachnoid space occupying rat model that exactly mimicked the course of ICP in the first 6 h following blood injection. Fluids lacking blood components did not induce the typical prolonged hypoperfusion occurring after blood-injection in this very early phase. Our study strongly suggests that blood components rather than elevated ICP play an important role for early hypoperfusion events in SAH.

Abstract
Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage is a devastating condition causing significant morbidity and mortality. While outcomes from subarachnoid hemorrhage have improved in recent years, there continues to be significant interest in identifying therapeutic targets for this disease. In particular, there has been a shift in emphasis toward secondary brain injury that develops in the first 72 hours after subarachnoid hemorrhage. This time period of interest is referred to as the early brain injury period and comprises processes including microcirculatory dysfunction, blood-brain-barrier breakdown, neuroinflammation, cerebral edema, oxidative cascades, and neuronal death. Advances in our understanding of the mechanisms defining the early brain injury period have been accompanied by improved imaging and nonimaging biomarkers for identifying early brain injury, leading to the recognition of an elevated clinical incidence of early brain injury compared with prior estimates. With the frequency, impact, and mechanisms of early brain injury better defined, there is a need to review the literature in this area to guide preclinical and clinical study.

Abstract
Metabolomics has evolved into a particularly useful tool to study interactions between metabolites and serves as an aid in unraveling the complexity of entire metabolomes. Nonetheless, it is increasingly viewed as a methodology with practical applications in the clinical setting, where identifying and quantifying biomarkers of interest could prove useful for diagnostics. Starting from a concise overview of the most prominent analytical techniques employed in metabolomics, herein we present a review of its application in studies of brain metabolism and cerebrovascular diseases, paying most attention to its uses in researching aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. Both animal models and human studies are considered, and metabolites identified as potential biomarkers are highlighted.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Subarachnoid hemorrhage-induced hydrocephalus (SAIH) can affect the prognosis of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). The relationship between hydromyelia and SAIH has been rarely investigated. This experimental model aimed to identify the pathophysiological changes developed in the SAH and elucidate the relationship between hydromyelia and SAIH. MATERIAL AND METHODS 25 female rabbits were randomly divided into three groups. The SAH group (n = 15), sham group (n = 5), and control group (n = 5). In the former group, the injection of 0.5 mL/kg of autologous blood was carried out into the cisterna magna on days 0 and 2. All animals were decapitated 21 days thereafter. Histological examinations of the medulla spinalis and brain samples were performed. RESULTS The mean volumes of the central channel were 1.054, 1.287, and 1.776 mm3 in the control, sham, and SAH groups, respectively (p = 0.028). The mean normal ependymal cell densities were 4.210, 3.602, and 2.923 cells/mm2 in the control, sham, and SAH groups, respectively (p = 0.002). The mean ventricular Evans' indices were 0.31, 0.34, and 0.41, in the control, sham, and SAH groups, respectively (p = 0.006). Basement membrane rupture, desquamated ependymal cells, and central channel occlusion were observed on histological examinations of the SAH group. CONCLUSIONS Subependymal basement membrane destruction, blood cell accumulation on it, ependymal cell desquamation, increased cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) secretion, and increased ICP in the central channel that causes hydromyelia. When these pathological changes are chronically apparent, they may reflect on CSF pathways and cause permanent SAIH. Preventing long-time SAH-induced hydromyelia is believed to reduce the high rate of treatment-requiring SAIH.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Filament perforation is a widely-used method to induce subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) in mice. Whereas the perforation site has been assumed to be in the branching of middle cerebral artery (MCA) and anterior cerebral artery (ACA), we recently observed more proximal perforations. METHODS Filament perforation was performed in CD1- (n = 10) and C57Bl/6N-mice (n = 9) ex vivo. The filament was left in place and the perforation site was microscopically assessed. Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) was performed in CD1- (n = 9) and C57Bl/6J-mice (n = 29) and anatomical differences of the internal carotid artery (ICA) were determined. RESULTS Whereas in C57Bl/6N-mice perforation occurred in the proximal intracranial ICA in 89% (n = 8), in CD1-mice the perforation site was in the proximal ICA in 50% (n = 5), in the branching between MCA and ACA in 40% (n = 4), and in the proximal ACA in 10% (n = 1). DSA revealed a stronger angulation (p<0.001) of the ICA in CD1-mice (163.5±2.81°) compared to C57Bl/6J-mice (124.5±5.49°). Body weight and ICA-angle showed no significant correlation in C57Bl/6J- (r = -0.06, pweight/angle = 0.757) and CD1-mice (r = -0.468, pweight/angle = 0.242). CONCLUSION Filament perforation in mice occurs not only at the hitherto presumed branching between MCA and ACA, but seems to depend on mouse strain and anatomy as the proximal intracranial ICA may also be perforated frequently.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a subtype of stroke, and early brain injury (EBI) is a contributor to its unfavorable outcome. microRNA (miRNA) is abundantly expressed in the brain and participates in brain injury. This study investigated the effect of miR-452-3p on EBI after SAH. METHODS The murine model of SAH was established. miR-452-3p expression was detected 48 h after the model establishment. Neurobehavioral function, blood-brain barrier permeability, brain water content, neuronal apoptosis, and inflammatory factors were evaluated. The cell model of SAH was induced by oxygen hemoglobin. Apoptosis rate, lactate dehydrogenase, and reactive oxygen species were detected. The targeting relationship between miR-452-3p and histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3) was verified. The acetylation of p65 and the binding of HDAC3 to p65 were detected. The inhibitory protein of the nuclear factor κB pathway (IκBα) was detected. Suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid was injected into the SAH mice treated with miR-452-3p inhibitor. RESULTS SAH mice showed upregulated miR-452-3p expression; reduced the neurological score; increased blood-brain barrier permeability, brain water content, and neuronal apoptosis; elevated pro-inflammatory factors; and reduced anti-inflammatory factors. SAH increased the apoptosis rate, lactate dehydrogenase release, and reactive oxygen species levels in oxygen-hemoglobin-treated neuron cells. Inhibition of miR-452-3p reversed the above trends. miR-452-3p targeted HDAC3. SAH upregulated p65 acetylation. miR-452-3p inhibitor promoted the binding of HDAC3 to p65, decreased p65 acetylation, and upregulated IκBα. Suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid reversed the protective effect of miR-452-3p inhibitor on SAH mice and aggravated brain injury. CONCLUSIONS miR-452-3p targeted HDAC3 to inhibit the deacetylation of p65 and activate the nuclear factor κB pathway, thus aggravating EBI after SAH.

Abstract
AbstractSubarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a major health burden that accounts for approximately 5% of all strokes. The most common cause of a non-traumatic SAH is the rupture of a cerebral aneurysm. The most common symptom associated with SAH is a headache, often described as “the worst headache of my life.” Delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) is a major factor associated with patient mortality following SAH and is often associated with SAH-induced cerebral vasospasm (CV). Cannabidiol (CBD) is emerging as a potential drug for many therapeutic purposes, including epilepsy, anxiety, and pain relief. We aim to review the potential use of CBD as a treatment option for post-SAH critically ill patients. Through a literature review, we evaluated the known pharmacology and physiological effects of CBD and correlated those with the pathophysiological outcomes associated with cerebral vasospasm following subarachnoid hemorrhage. Although overlap exists, data were formatted into three major categories: anti-inflammatory, vascular, and neuroprotective effects. Based on the amount of information known about the actions of CBD, we hypothesize the anti-inflammatory effects are likely to be the most promising therapeutic mechanism. However, its cardiovascular effects through calcium regulation and its neuroprotective effects against cell death, excitotoxicity, and oxidative stress are all plausible mechanisms by which post-SAH critically ill patients may benefit from both early and late intervention with CBD. More research is needed to better understand if and how CBD might affect neurological and vascular functions in the brain following injury such as subarachnoid hemorrhage.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the association between serum iron (SI) and postoperative delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) following aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). We retrospectively analyzed 985 consecutive adult patients diagnosed with aSAH. Demographic, clinical, and laboratory data were recorded. Univariate and multivariate analyses were employed to assess the association between SI and DCI. Propensity-score matching (PSM) analysis was implemented to reduce confounding. Postoperative DCI developed in 14.38% of patients. Lower SI upon admission was detected in aSAH patients with severe clinical conditions and severe aSAH. SI was negatively correlated with WFNS grade (r = −0.3744, p < 0.001) and modified Fisher (mFisher) grade (r = −0.2520, p < 0.001). Multivariable analysis revealed lower SI was independently associated with DCI [odds ratios (OR) 0.281, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.177−0.448, p < 0.001], while WFNS grade and mFisher grade were not. The receiver-operating characteristics (ROC) curve analysis of SI for DCI gave an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.7 and an optimal cut-off of 7.5 μmol/L (95% CI 0.665 to 0.733, p < 0.0001). PSM demonstrated the DCI group had a significantly lower SI than the non-DCI group (10.91 ± 6.86 vs. 20.34 ± 8.01 μmol/L, p < 0.001). Lower SI remained a significant independent predictor for DCI and an independent poor prognostic factor of aSAH in multivariate analysis (OR 0.363, 95% CI 0.209−0.630, p < 0.001). The predictive performance of SI for poor outcome had a corresponding AUC of 0.718 after PSM. Lower SI upon admission is significantly associated with WFNS grade, mFisher grade, and predicts postoperative DCI and poor outcome at 90 days following aSAH.

Abstract
Functional connectivity (FC) is a sensitive metric that provides a readout of whole cortex coordinate neural activity in a mouse model. We examine the impact of experimental SAH modeled through endovascular perforation, and the effectiveness of subsequent treatment on FC, through three key questions: 1) Does the endovascular perforation model of SAH induce deficits in FC; 2) Does exposure to hypoxic conditioning provide protection against these FC deficits and, if so, is this neurovascular protection SIRT1-mediated; and 3) does treatment with the SIRT1 activator resveratrol alone provide protection against these FC deficits? Cranial windows were adhered on skull-intact mice that were then subjected to either sham or SAH surgery and either left untreated or treated with hypoxic post-conditioning (with or without EX527) or resveratrol for 3 days. Mice were imaged 3 days post-SAH/sham surgery, temporally aligned with the onset of major SAH sequela in mice. Here we show that the endovascular perforation model of SAH induces global and network-specific deficits in FC by day 3, corresponding with the time frame of DCI in mice. Hypoxic conditioning provides SIRT1-mediated protection against these network-specific FC deficits post-SAH, as does treatment with resveratrol. Conditioning-based strategies provide multifaceted neurovascular protection in experimental SAH.

Abstract
AbstractThere has been a constant endeavor to reduce the mortality and morbidity associated with acute brain injury. The associated complex mechanisms involving biomechanics, markers, and neuroprotective drugs/measures have been extensively studied in preclinical studies with an ultimate aim to improve the patients' outcomes. Despite such efforts, only few have been successfully translated into clinical practice. In this review, we shall be discussing the major hurdles in the translation of preclinical results into clinical practice. The need is to choose an appropriate animal model, keeping in mind the species, age, and gender of the animal, choosing suitable outcome measures, ensuring quality of animal trials, and carrying out systematic review and meta-analysis of experimental studies before proceeding to human trials. The interdisciplinary collaboration between the preclinical and clinical scientists will help to design better, meaningful trials which might help a long way in successful translation. Although challenging at this stage, the advent of translational precision medicine will help the integration of mechanism-centric translational medicine and patient-centric precision medicine.

Abstract
Nowadays, due to the decline in the number of microsurgical clippings for cerebral aneurysms and revascularization procedures, young neurosurgeons have fewer opportunities to participate and train on this type of surgery. Vascular neurosurgery is a demanding subspecialty that requires skills that can only be acquired with technical experience. This background pushes the new generations to be ready for such challenging cases by training hard on different available models, such as synthetic tubes, chicken wings, or placenta vessels. Although many training models for vascular neurosurgery have been described worldwide, one of the best is the rodent vessels model. It offers pulsation, coagulation, and real blood flow conditions in a physiologic atmosphere that mimics perfectly the intracranial human vessels environment, especially in terms of size. However, the current differences in governmental different regulations about the use of living animals in medical experimentation and the social awareness, as well as the lack of financial support, cause more difficulties for neurosurgeons to start with that kind of training. In this review, we describe the tools and techniques as basic steps for vascular microsurgery training by using rodent models, that provide an accurate copy of brain vessels environment under stable conditions. The initial three classical known microanastomoses for neurosurgeons are end-to-end, end-to-side, and side-to-side, but in literature, there have been described other more complex exercises for training and investigation, such as aneurysm models. Although there is still little data available, we aim to summarize and discuss aneurysm's training models and reviewed the current literature on the subject and its applications, including a detailed description of the techniques.

Comparing Protection of Remote Limb with Resveratrol Preconditioning following Rodent Subarachnoid Hemorrhage. Biomolecules 2022; 12:biom12040568. [PMID: 35454157 PMCID: PMC9026829 DOI: 10.3390/biom12040568] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/13/2022] [Revised: 03/31/2022] [Accepted: 04/07/2022] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Background: Preventing delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) remains an important therapeutic target. Preconditioning stimulates multiple endogenous protective mechanisms and may be a suitable treatment for DCI following SAH. We here compare remote limb conditioning with resveratrol conditioning in a clinically relevant SAH model. Methods: We produced a SAH in 39 male Sprague Dawley rats using a single injection model. Animals were randomized to four groups: repetitive limb conditioning with a blood pressure cuff, sham conditioning, intraperitoneal resveratrol (10 mg/kg) or intraperitoneal vehicle administered at 24, 48 and 72 h after SAH. On day 4 neurological and behavioral scores were obtained, and animals were euthanized. The cross-sectional area of the basilar artery was measured at the vertebrobasilar junction, and at the mid and distal segments. Hippocampal cells were counted in both hemispheres and normalized per mm length. We compared true limb preconditioning with sham conditioning and resveratrol with vehicle preconditioning. Results: The cross-sectional area of the mid-basilar artery in the true limb preconditioning group was significantly larger by 43% (p = 0.03) when compared with the sham preconditioning group. No differences in the cross-sectional area were found in the resveratrol-treated group when compared to the vehicle-treated group. We found no differences in the neuro score, behavioral score, and in mean hippocampal neuron counts between the groups. Conclusion: We found beneficial vascular effects of remote limb preconditioning on SAH-induced basilar artery vasoconstriction. Our findings support further studies of limb preconditioning as a potential treatment after SAH.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) is the most consequential secondary insult after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). It is a multifactorial process caused by a combination of large artery vasospasm and microcirculatory dysregulation. Despite numerous efforts, no effective therapeutic strategies are available to prevent DCI. The trigeminal nerve richly innervates cerebral blood vessels and releases a host of vasoactive agents upon stimulation. As such, electrical trigeminal nerve stimulation (TNS) has the capability of enhancing cerebral circulation. OBJECTIVE To determine whether TNS can restore impaired cerebral macrocirculation and microcirculation in an experimental rat model of SAH. METHODS The animals were randomly assigned to sham-operated, SAH-control, and SAH-TNS groups. SAH was induced by endovascular perforation on Day 0, followed by KCl-induced cortical spreading depolarization on day 1, and sample collection on day 2. TNS was delivered on day 1. Multiple end points were assessed including cerebral vasospasm, microvascular spasm, microthrombosis, calcitonin gene-related peptide and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 concentrations, degree of cerebral ischemia and apoptosis, and neurobehavioral outcomes. RESULTS SAH resulted in significant vasoconstriction in both major cerebral vessels and cortical pial arterioles. Compared with the SAH-control group, TNS increased lumen diameters of the internal carotid artery, middle cerebral artery, and anterior cerebral artery, and decreased pial arteriolar wall thickness. Additionally, TNS increased cerebrospinal fluid calcitonin gene-related peptide levels, and decreased cortical intercellular adhesion molecule-1 expression, parenchymal microthrombi formation, ischemia-induced hypoxic injury, cellular apoptosis, and neurobehavioral deficits. CONCLUSION Our results suggest that TNS can enhance cerebral circulation at multiple levels, lessen the impact of cerebral ischemia, and ameliorate the consequences of DCI after SAH.

Abstract
A subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), leading to severe disability and high fatality in survivors, is a devastating disease. Neuro-inflammation, a critical mechanism of cerebral vasospasm and brain injury from SAH, is tightly related to prognoses. Interestingly, studies indicate that 2-[(pyridine-2-ylmethyl)-amino]-phenol (2-PMAP) crosses the blood-brain barrier easily. Here, we investigated whether the vasodilatory and neuroprotective roles of 2-PMAP were observed in SAH rats. Rats were assigned to three groups: sham, SAH and SAH+2-PMAP. SAHs were induced by a cisterna magna injection. In the SAH+2-PMAP group, 5 mg/kg 2-PMAP was injected into the subarachnoid space before SAH induction. The administration of 2-PMAP markedly ameliorated cerebral vasospasm and decreased endothelial apoptosis 48 h after SAH. Meanwhile, 2-PMAP decreased the severity of neurological impairments and neuronal apoptosis after SAH. Furthermore, 2-PMAP decreased the activation of microglia and astrocytes, expressions of TLR-4 and p-NF-κB, inflammatory markers (TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6) and reactive oxygen species. This study is the first to confirm that 2-PMAP has vasodilatory and neuroprotective effects in a rat model of SAH. Taken together, the experimental results indicate that 2-PMAP treatment attenuates neuro-inflammation, oxidative stress and cerebral vasospasm, in addition to ameliorating neurological deficits, and that these attenuating and ameliorating effects are conferred through the TLR-4/NF-κB pathway.

Abstract
Background Many therapies designed to prevent delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) and improve neurological outcome in aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) have failed, likely because of targeting only one element of what has proven to be a multifactorial disease. We previously demonstrated that initiating hypoxic conditioning before SAH (hypoxic preconditioning) provides powerful protection against DCI. Here, we expanded upon these findings to determine whether hypoxic conditioning delivered at clinically relevant time points after SAH (hypoxic postconditioning) provides similarly robust DCI protection. Methods and Results In this study, we found that hypoxic postconditioning (8% O2 for 2 hours) initiated 3 hours after SAH provides strong protection against cerebral vasospasm, microvessel thrombi, and neurological deficits. By pharmacologic and genetic inhibition of SIRT1 (sirtuin 1) using EX527 and global Sirt1-/- mice, respectively, we demonstrated that this multifaceted DCI protection is SIRT1 mediated. Moreover, genetic overexpression of SIRT1 using Sirt1-Tg mice, mimicked the DCI protection afforded by hypoxic postconditioning. Finally, we found that post-SAH administration of resveratrol attenuated cerebral vasospasm, microvessel thrombi, and neurological deficits, and did so in a SIRT1-dependent fashion. Conclusions The present study indicates that hypoxic postconditioning provides powerful DCI protection when initiated at clinically relevant time points, and that pharmacologic augmentation of SIRT1 activity after SAH can mimic this beneficial effect. We conclude that conditioning-based therapies administered after SAH hold translational promise for patients with SAH and warrant further investigation.

Abstract
Delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) is the most feared complication of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). It increases the mortality and morbidity associated with aSAH. Previously, large cerebral artery vasospasm was thought to be the sole major contributing factor associated with increased risk of DCI. Recent literature has challenged this concept. We conducted a literature search using PUBMED as the prime source of articles discussing various other factors which may contribute to the development of DCI both in the presence or absence of large cerebral artery vasospasm. These factors include microvascular spasm, micro-thrombosis, cerebrovascular dysregulation, and cortical spreading depolarization. These factors collectively result in inflammation of brain parenchyma, which is thought to precipitate early brain injury and DCI. We conclude that diagnostic modalities need to be refined in order to diagnose DCI more efficiently in its early phase, and newer interventions need to be developed to prevent and treat this condition. These newer interventions are currently being studied in experimental models. However, their effectiveness on patients with aSAH is yet to be determined.

Abstract
Between 3.6% and 6.0% of the population has an intracranial aneurysm. The mechanisms underlying intracranial aneurysm formation and rupture are not fully known. Several rodent models have been developed to better understand intracranial aneurysm pathophysiology. Hypertension, hemodynamic changes, and vessel injury are all necessary for aneurysm induction; however, multiple invasive procedures may disrupt an animal’s physiology. Therefore, we hypothesized that our method for inducing hypertension could be modified to create a simpler model. We previously developed a highly reproducible murine model of intracranial aneurysm formation and rupture that involves hemodynamic changes through ligation of the left common carotid artery, vessel wall degradation using elastase and a lysyl oxidase inhibitor, and hypertension through a high-salt diet, continuous angiotensin II infusion, and right renal artery ligation. In order to create a simpler model, we sought to eliminate renal artery ligation. We assessed aneurysm formation, aneurysm rupture, and blood pressure in two separate cohorts of C57BL/6 mice: one cohort underwent our model as above, while another cohort did not receive right renal artery ligation. Our results demonstrate that intracranial aneurysm formation and rupture rates did not differ between each group. Further, the blood pressures between cohorts did not differ at various timepoints in the model. Both cohorts, however, did have a significant increase in blood pressure from baseline, suggesting that renal artery ligation is not needed for inducing hypertension. These findings demonstrate that our murine model can be modified to eliminate right renal artery ligation. Thus, we propose this modification to our murine model for studying intracranial aneurysm pathophysiology.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We investigated the effects of different doses of pregabalin on the pathophysiologic changes in early brain injury after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) in rats. METHODS Thirty-eight Wistar albino rats were divided into 4 groups: control (n = 8), SAH (n = 10), SAH plus 30 mg/kg/day of pregabalin (n = 10), and SAH plus 60 mg/kg/day of pregabalin (n = 10). SAH was induced with 0.3 mL of autologous blood injected to the cisterna magna of rats. Pregabalin was administered intraperitoneally. Oxidative stress markers, mRNA expression of endothelial nitric oxide synthase, hypoxia-inducible factor-1α, and vascular endothelial growth factor, and histopathological changes were evaluated. RESULTS Pregabalin increased mRNA expression of endothelial nitric oxide synthase, hypoxia-inducible factor-1α, and vascular endothelial growth factor in a dose-dependent manner. Significant improvement in the histopathological parameters was observed at 60 mg/kg, including a decrease in diffuse hemorrhagic areas, edema and apoptotic bodies in the associated cortical area, evident vacuolization in the hippocampal area, and apoptotic bodies. However, these improvements were not observed with the lower dose (30 mg/kg). In contrast, the antioxidant effect was greater with 30 mg/kg of pregabalin than with 60 mg/kg. CONCLUSIONS Although the antioxidant effect was significant with the lower dose of pregabalin, the anti-inflammatory effects via vasodilatation were more marked with the higher dose. Significant improvements in the histopathological changes were observed with the higher dose of pregabalin. The dose-dependent effects of pregabalin on SAH should be evaluated in animal studies as a function of time and in the acute and chronic phases.

Abstract
Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) leads to significant long-term cognitive deficits, which can be associated with alterations in resting state functional connectivity (RSFC). However, modalities such as fMRI-which is commonly used to assess RSFC in humans-have practical limitations in small animals. Therefore, we used non-invasive optical intrinsic signal imaging to determine the effect of SAH on RSFC in mice up to three months after prechiasmatic blood injection. We assessed Morris water maze (MWM), open field test (OFT), Y-maze, and rotarod performance from approximately two weeks to three months after SAH. Compared to sham, we found that SAH reduced motor, retrosplenial, and visual seed-based connectivity indices. These deficits persisted in retrosplenial and visual cortex seeds at three months. Seed-to-seed analysis confirmed early attenuation of correlation coefficients in SAH mice, which persisted in predominantly posterior network connections at later time points. Seed-independent global and interhemispheric indices of connectivity revealed decreased correlations following SAH for at least one month. SAH led to MWM hidden platform and OFT deficits at two weeks, and Y-maze deficits for at least three months, without altering rotarod performance. In conclusion, experimental SAH leads to early and persistent alterations both in hemodynamically derived measures of RSFC and in cognitive performance.

Abstract
Neurological disorders, including neurodegenerative diseases, have a significant negative impact on both patients and society at large. Since the prevalence of most of these disorders increases with age, the consequences for our aging population are only going to grow. It is now acknowledged that neurological disorders are multi-factorial involving disruptions in multiple cellular systems. While each disorder has specific initiating mechanisms and pathologies, certain common pathways appear to be involved in most, if not all, neurological disorders. Thus, it is becoming increasingly important to identify compounds that can modulate the multiple pathways that contribute to disease development or progression. One of these compounds is the flavonol fisetin. Fisetin has now been shown in preclinical models to be effective at preventing the development and/or progression of multiple neurological disorders including Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, Huntington’s disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, stroke (both ischemic and hemorrhagic) and traumatic brain injury as well as to reduce age-associated changes in the brain. These beneficial effects stem from its actions on multiple pathways associated with the different neurological disorders. These actions include its well characterized anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant effects as well as more recently described effects on the regulated cell death oxytosis/ferroptosis pathway, the gut microbiome and its senolytic activity. Therefore, the growing body of pre-clinical data, along with fisetin’s ability to modulate a large number of pathways associated with brain dysfunction, strongly suggest that it would be worthwhile to pursue its therapeutic effects in humans.

TRAF3 mediates neuronal apoptosis in early brain injury following subarachnoid hemorrhage via targeting TAK1-dependent MAPKs and NF-κB pathways. Cell Death Dis 2021; 12:10. [PMID: 33414375 PMCID: PMC7790824 DOI: 10.1038/s41419-020-03278-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 33] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/19/2019] [Revised: 10/30/2020] [Accepted: 11/02/2020] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
Neuronal apoptosis has an important role in early brain injury (EBI) following subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). TRAF3 was reported as a promising therapeutic target for stroke management, which covered several neuronal apoptosis signaling cascades. Hence, the present study is aimed to determine whether downregulation of TRAF3 could be neuroprotective in SAH-induced EBI. An in vivo SAH model in mice was established by endovascular perforation. Meanwhile, primary cultured cortical neurons of mice treated with oxygen hemoglobin were applied to mimic SAH in vitro. Our results demonstrated that TRAF3 protein expression increased and expressed in neurons both in vivo and in vitro SAH models. TRAF3 siRNA reversed neuronal loss and improved neurological deficits in SAH mice, and reduced cell death in SAH primary neurons. Mechanistically, we found that TRAF3 directly binds to TAK1 and potentiates phosphorylation and activation of TAK1, which further enhances the activation of NF-κB and MAPKs pathways to induce neuronal apoptosis. Importantly, TRAF3 expression was elevated following SAH in human brain tissue and was mainly expressed in neurons. Taken together, our study demonstrates that TRAF3 is an upstream regulator of MAPKs and NF-κB pathways in SAH-induced EBI via its interaction with and activation of TAK1. Furthermore, the TRAF3 may serve as a novel therapeutic target in SAH-induced EBI.

J Clin Med 2020; 10:jcm10010100. [PMID: 33396652 PMCID: PMC7794715 DOI: 10.3390/jcm10010100] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/11/2020] [Revised: 12/25/2020] [Accepted: 12/25/2020] [Indexed: 01/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Cerebral metabolic dysfunction has been shown to extensively mediate the pathophysiology of brain injury after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). The characterization of the alterations of metabolites in the brain can help elucidate pathophysiological changes occurring throughout SAH and the relationship between secondary brain injury and cerebral energy dysfunction after SAH. Cerebral microdialysis (CMD) is a tool that can measure concentrations of multiple bioenergetics metabolites in brain interstitial fluid. This review aims to provide an update on the implication of CMD on the measurement of metabolic dysfunction in the brain after SAH. A literature review was conducted through a general PubMed search with the terms “Subarachnoid Hemorrhage AND Microdialysis” as well as a more targeted search using MeSh with the search terms “Subarachnoid hemorrhage AND Microdialysis AND Metabolism.” Both experimental and clinical papers were reviewed. CMD is a suitable tool that has been used for monitoring cerebral metabolic changes in various types of brain injury. Clinically, CMD data have shown the dramatic changes in cerebral metabolism after SAH, including glucose depletion, enhanced glycolysis, and suppressed oxidative phosphorylation. Experimental studies using CMD have demonstrated a similar pattern of cerebral metabolic dysfunction after SAH. The combination of CMD and other monitoring tools has also shown value in further dissecting and distinguishing alterations in different metabolic pathways after brain injury. Despite the lack of a standard procedure as well as the presence of limitations regarding CMD application and data interpretation for both clinical and experimental studies, emerging investigations have suggested that CMD is an effective way to monitor the changes of cerebral metabolic dysfunction after SAH in real-time, and alternatively, the combination of CMD and other monitoring tools might be able to further understand the relationship between cerebral metabolic dysfunction and brain injury after SAH, determine the severity of brain injury and predict the pathological progression and outcomes after SAH. More translational preclinical investigations and clinical validation may help to optimize CMD as a powerful tool in critical care and personalized medicine for patients with SAH.

Abstract
Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) causes permanent neurological sequelae, but the underlying mechanism needs to be further clarified. Here, we show that inhibition of metabotropic glutamate receptor 1 (mGluR1) with negative allosteric modulator JNJ16259685 improves long-term neurobehavioral outcomes in an endovascular perforation model of SAH. JNJ16259685 improves cerebrovascular dysfunction through attenuation of cerebral blood flow (CBF) reduction, cerebral vasoconstrictio, and microthrombosis formation in a rat SAH model. Moreover, JNJ16259685 reduces experimental SAH-induced long-term neuronal damage through alleviation of neuronal death and degeneration. Mechanically, JNJ16259685 maintains phosphorylation of endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) and vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein (VASP) and decreases apoptosis-related factors Bax, active caspase-9, and active caspase-3 following experimental SAH. Altogether, our results suggest JNJ16259685 improves long-term functional impairment through neurovascular protection.

Abstract
Although the central canal is an integral component of the cerebral ventricular system, central canal dilation has not been examined adequately during the progression of subarachnoid hemorrhage-related hydrocephalus (SAH-H). Central canal dilation-associated ependymal cell desquamation or subependymal membrane rupture has been rarely reported. Herein, we try to describe possible mechanisms of central canal dilation "Hydromyelia," developing after SAH. A total of 25 New Zealand hybrid female rabbits were recruited. Five served as controls, and five received sham operations. In the remaining animals (n = 15), 0.5 mL/kg of autologous blood was injected into the cisterna magna twice on 0 and 2nd days. Five of these animals died within a few days. A total of 10 survivor animals decapitated 3 weeks later, and the brains and cervical spinal cords were histologically examined. Central canal volumes, ependymal cell numbers on the canal surfaces, and the Evans' indices of the ventricles were compared. On histological examination, central canal occlusion with desquamated ependymal cells and basement membrane rupture were evident. The mean Evans' index of the brain ventricles was 0.31, the mean central canal volume was 1.054 mm3, and the normal ependymal cell density was 4.210/mm2 in control animals; the respective values were 0.34, 1.287 mm3, and 3.602/mm2 for sham-operated animals, and 0.41, 1.776 mm3, and 2.923/mm2 in the study group. The differences were statistically significant (p < 0.05). Hydromyelia, an ignored complication of SAH-H, features ependymal cell desquamation, subependymal basement membrane destruction, blood cell accumulation on the subependymal cell basement membrane, and increased CSF pressure. Hydromyelia may be a significant complication following SAH.

Abstract
Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a devastating cerebral event caused by an aneurysmal rupture. In addition to neurological injury, SAH has significant effects on cardiac function and the peripheral microcirculation. Since these peripheral complications may exacerbate brain injury, the prevention and management of these peripheral effects are important for improving the overall clinical outcome after SAH. In this investigation, we examined the effects of SAH on cardiac function and vascular reactivity in a well-characterized blood injection model of SAH. Standard echocardiographic and blood pressure measurement procedures were utilized to assess cardiac function and hemodynamic parameters in vivo; we utilized a pressure myography approach to assess vascular reactivity in cremaster skeletal muscle resistance arteries ex vivo. We observed that elevated catecholamine levels in SAH stun the myocardium, reduce cardiac output and augment myogenic vasoconstriction in isolated cremaster arteries. These cardiac and vascular effects are driven by beta- and alpha-adrenergic receptor signaling, respectively. Clinically utilized adrenergic receptor antagonists can prevent cardiac injury and normalize vascular function. We found that tumor necrosis factor (TNF) gene deletion prevents the augmentation of myogenic reactivity in SAH: since membrane-bound TNF serves as a mechanosensor in the arteries assessed, alpha-adrenergic signaling putatively augments myogenic vasoconstriction by enhancing mechanosensor activity.

Abstract
Translational genomics represents a broad field of study that combines genome and transcriptome-wide studies in humans and model systems to refine our understanding of human biology and ultimately identify new ways to treat and prevent disease. The approaches to translational genomics can be broadly grouped into two methodologies, forward and reverse genomic translation. Traditional (forward) genomic translation begins with model systems and aims at using unbiased genetic associations in these models to derive insight into biological mechanisms that may also be relevant in human disease. Reverse genomic translation begins with observations made through human genomic studies and refines these observations through follow-up studies using model systems. The ultimate goal of these approaches is to clarify intervenable processes as targets for therapeutic development. In this review, we describe some of the approaches being taken to apply translational genomics to the study of diseases commonly encountered in the neurocritical care setting, including hemorrhagic and ischemic stroke, traumatic brain injury, subarachnoid hemorrhage, and status epilepticus, utilizing both forward and reverse genomic translational techniques. Further, we highlight approaches in the field that could be applied in neurocritical care to improve our ability to identify new treatment modalities as well as to provide important information to patients about risk and prognosis.

Abstract
The technology of drug delivery systems (DDS) has expanded into many applications, such as for treating neurological disorders. Nanoparticle DDS offer a unique strategy for targeted transport and improved outcomes of therapeutics. Stroke is likely to benefit from the emergence of this technology though clinical breakthroughs are yet to manifest. This review explores the recent advances in this field and provides insight on the trends, prospects and challenges of translating this technology to clinical application. Carriers of diverse material compositions are presented, with special focus on the surface properties and emphasis on the similarities and inconsistencies among in vivo experimental paradigms. Research attention is scattered among various nanoparticle DDS and various routes of drug administration, which expresses the lack of consistency among studies. Analysis of current literature reveals lipid- and polymer-based DDS as forerunners of DDS for stroke; however, cell membrane-derived vesicles (CMVs) possess the competitive edge due to their innate biocompatibility and superior efficacy. Conversely, inorganic and carbon-based DDS offer different functionalities as well as varied capacity for loading but suffer mainly from poor safety and general lack of investigation in this area. This review supports the existing literature by systematizing presently available data and accounting for the differences in drugs of choice, carrier types, animal models, intervention strategies and outcome parameters.

Abstract
Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage has a high mortality rate and, for those who survive this devastating injury, can lead to lifelong impairment. Clinical trials have demonstrated that cerebral vasospasm of larger extraparenchymal vessels is not the sole contributor to neurological outcome. Recently, the focus of intense investigation has turned to mechanisms of early brain injury that may play a larger role in outcome, including neuroinflammation and microvascular dysfunction. Extravasated blood after aneurysm rupture results in a robust inflammatory response characterized by activation of microglia, upregulation of cellular adhesion molecules, recruitment of peripheral immune cells, as well as impaired neurovascular coupling, disruption of the blood-brain barrier, and imbalances in endogenous vasodilators and vasoconstrictors. Each of these phenomena is either directly or indirectly associated with neuronal death and brain injury. Here, we review recent studies investigating these various mechanisms in experimental models of subarachnoid hemorrhage with special emphasis on neuroinflammation and its effect on microvascular dysfunction. We discuss the various therapeutic targets that have risen from these mechanistic studies and suggest the utility of a multi-targeted approach to preventing delayed injury and improving outcome after subarachnoid hemorrhage.

[PMID: 31554244 PMCID: PMC6958331 DOI: 10.3390/ph12040144] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/25/2019] [Revised: 09/08/2019] [Accepted: 09/19/2019] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
This review provides a synopsis of the published literature over the past two years on the heme-binding protein hemopexin (HPX), with some background information on the biochemistry of the HPX system. One focus is on the mechanisms of heme-driven pathology in the context of heme and iron homeostasis in human health and disease. The heme-binding protein hemopexin is a multi-functional protectant against hemoglobin (Hb)-derived heme toxicity as well as mitigating heme-mediated effects on immune cells, endothelial cells, and stem cells that collectively contribute to driving inflammation, perturbing vascular hemostasis and blood–brain barrier function. Heme toxicity, which may lead to iron toxicity, is recognized increasingly in a wide range of conditions involving hemolysis and immune system activation and, in this review, we highlight some newly identified actions of heme and hemopexin especially in situations where normal processes fail to maintain heme and iron homeostasis. Finally, we present preliminary data showing that the cytokine IL-6 cross talks with activation of the c-Jun N-terminal kinase pathway in response to heme-hemopexin in models of hepatocytes. This indicates another level of complexity in the cell responses to elevated heme via the HPX system when the immune system is activated and/or in the presence of inflammation.

[PMID: 31560866 DOI: 10.1016/j.abb.2019.108117] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/01/2019] [Revised: 08/19/2019] [Accepted: 09/24/2019] [Indexed: 12/25/2022]
Abstract
Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a devastating form of hemorrhagic stroke and is a serious medical condition caused by bleeding usually due to a ruptured aneurysm. Oxidative stress and inflammation from hemoglobin and heme released from lysed red blood cells are some postulated causes of vasospasm during SAH, which could lead to delayed cerebral ischemia. At low amounts, carbon monoxide (CO) gas may be neuroprotective through anti-inflammation, anti-cell death, and restoration of normal blood flow. Hence, this study focuses on a noninvasive strategy to treat SAH by using CO as a therapeutic medical gas. Mice were treated with 250 ppm CO or air for 1h started at 2h after SAH. Various anatomical and functional outcomes were monitored at 1 and 7d after SAH. CO decreased neurological deficit score (47.4 ± 10.5%) and increased activity (30.0 ± 9.1%) and stereotypic counts (261.5 ± 62.1%) at 7d. There was a significant increase in lumen area/wall thickness ratio in the middle cerebral artery (173.5 ± 19.3%), which tended to increase in the anterior cerebral artery (25.5 ± 4.3%) at 7d. This is the first report to demonstrate that CO minimizes delayed SAH-induced neurobehavioral deficits, which suggests that post-treatment with CO gas or CO-donors can be further tested as a potential therapy against SAH.

Neurobiol Dis 2019; 129:144-158. [PMID: 31082470 DOI: 10.1016/j.nbd.2019.05.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 32] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/19/2018] [Revised: 04/22/2019] [Accepted: 05/09/2019] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Necroptosis is a regulated form of necrosis that is mediated by a variety of proteins including tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and receptor-interacting proteins (RIPs). TNF-α, a critical inflammatory molecule, is one of the initiating signals in the necroptosis pathway, and RIP3 acts as a switch that commits the cell to necroptosis. Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a common type of hemorrhagic stroke with high mortality and disability rates. RIP3 has been studied in many central nervous system (CNS) diseases, but its role in SAH has not been investigated in depth. Here, we used an autologous-blood injection model to study the role of RIP3 in brain injury induced by SAH in rats. Several indexes such as brain edema, loss of blood-brain barrier (BBB) integrity, and behavioral tests of neurological function were used to evaluate brain damage in SAH-injured rats. We found that the expression of RIP3 was increased in the rat brain after SAH, reaching the highest point 24 h post-injury. We also showed that genetic or pharmacological inhibition of RIP3 or TNF-α reduced the brain damage induced by SAH, whereas overexpression of RIP3 aggravated brain injury and neurological damage. Additionally, we verified the presence of RIP3-mediated necroptosis in an in vitro SAH model of primary cultured neurons treated with conditioned medium from primary microglia activated by oxygen hemoglobin (OxyHb). Collectively, our findings indicated that RIP3 contributed to brain damage after SAH by inducing necroptosis.

Abstract
Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are induced after haemorrhagic stroke, which includes subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) and intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH). Most of these proteins function as neuroprotective molecules to protect cerebral neurons from haemorrhagic stroke and as markers to indicate cellular stress or damage. The most widely studied HSPs in SAH are HSP70, haeme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), HSP20 and HSP27. The subsequent pathophysiological changes following SAH can be divided into two stages: early brain injury and delayed cerebral ischaemia, both of which determine the outcome for patients. Because the mechanisms of HSPs in SAH are being revealed and experimental models in animals are continually maturing, new agents targeting HSPs with limited side effects have been suggested to provide therapeutic potential. For instance, some pharmaceutical agents can block neuronal apoptosis signals or dilate cerebral vessels by modulating HSPs. HO-1 and HSP70 are also critical topics for ICH research, which can be attributed to their involvement in pathophysiological mechanisms and therapeutic potential. However, the process of HO-1 metabolism can be toxic owing to iron overload and the activation of succedent pathways, for example, the Fenton reaction and oxidative damage; the overall effect of HO-1 in SAH and ICH tends to be protective and harmful, respectively, given the different pathophysiological changes in these two types of haemorrhagic stroke. In the present study, we focus on the current understanding of the role and therapeutic potential of HSPs involved in haemorrhagic stroke. Therefore, HSPs may be potential therapeutic targets, and new agents targeting HSPs are warranted.

Abstract
Stroke is one of the leading causes of death and long-term disability worldwide. However, effective therapeutic approaches are still limited. The disruption of blood supply triggers complicated temporal and spatial events involving hemodynamic, biochemical, and neurophysiologic changes, eventually leading to pathological disturbance and diverse clinical symptoms. Ginseng (Panax ginseng), a popular herb distributed in East Asia, has been extensively used as medicinal and nutritional supplements for a variety of disorders worldwide. In recent years, ginseng has displayed attractive beneficial effects in distinct neurological disorders including stroke, involving multiple protective mechanisms. In this article, we reviewed the literature on ginseng studies in the experimental stroke field, particularly focusing on the in vivo evidence on the preventive or therapeutic efficacy and mechanisms of ginseng and ginsenosides in various stroke models of mice and rats. We also summarized the efficacy and underlying mechanisms of ginseng and ginsenosides on short- and long-term stroke outcomes.

Abstract
In preclinical models, modification of experimental parameters associated with techniques of inducing subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) can greatly affect outcomes. To analyze how parameter choice affects the relevance and comparability of findings, we systematically reviewed 765 experimental studies of in vivo animal SAH models (2000-2014). During the last decade, we found marked increases in publications using smaller species and models for simulating acute events after SAH. Overall, the fewer types of species and models used did not correlate with an increased standardization in the experimental characteristics and procedures. However, by species, commonly applied, reliable parameters for each experimental SAH technique were identified in mouse, rat, rabbit, and dog models. Our findings can serve as a starting point for discussion toward a more uniform performance of SAH experiments, development of preclinical SAH common data elements, and establishment of standardized protocols for multicenter preclinical trials.
