Downstream TRPM4 Polymorphisms Are Associated with Intracranial Hypertension and Statistically Interact with ABCC8 Polymorphisms in a Prospective Cohort of Severe Traumatic Brain Injury.

ABSTRACT: Sulfonylurea-receptor-1(SUR1) and its associated transient-receptor-potential cation channel subfamily-M (TRPM4) channel are key contributors to cerebral edema and intracranial hypertension in traumatic brain injury (TBI) and other neurological disorders. Channel inhibition by glyburide is clinically promising. ABCC8 (encoding SUR1) single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are reported as predictors of raised intracranial pressure (ICP). This project evaluated whether TRPM4 SNPs predicted ICP and TBI outcome. DNA was extracted from 435 consecutively enrolled severe TBI patients. Without a priori selection, all 11 TRPM4 SNPs available on the multiplex platform (Illumina:Human-Core-Exome v1.0) were genotyped spanning the 25 exon gene. A total of 385 patients were analyzed after quality control. Outcomes included ICP and 6 month Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) score. Proxy SNPs, spatial modeling, and functional predictions were determined using established software programs. rs8104571 (intron-20) and rs150391806 (exon-24) were predictors of ICP. rs8104571 heterozygotes predicted higher average ICP (??=?10.3?mm Hg, p?=?0.00000029), peak ICP (??=?19.6?mm Hg, p?=?0.0007), and proportion ICP >25?mm Hg (??=?0.16 p?=?0.004). rs150391806 heterozygotes had higher mean (??=?7.2?mm Hg, p?=?0.042) and peak (??=?28.9?mm Hg, p?=?0.0015) ICPs. rs8104571, rs150391806, and 34 associated proxy SNPs in linkage-disequilibrium clustered downstream. This region encodes TRPM4's channel pore and a region postulated to juxtapose SUR1 sequences encoded by an ABCC8 DNA segment containing previously identified relevant SNPs. There was an interaction effect on ICP between rs8104571 and a cluster of predictive ABCC8 SNPs (rs2237982, rs2283261, rs11024286). Although not significant in univariable or a basic multivariable model, in an expanded model additionally accounting for injury pattern, computed tomographic (CT) appearance, and intracranial hypertension, heterozygous rs8104571 was associated with favorable 6 month GOS (odds ratio [OR]?=?16.7, p?=?0.007951). This trend persisted in a survivor-only subcohort (OR?=?20.67, p?=?0.0168). In this cohort, two TRPM4 SNPs predicted increased ICP with large effect sizes. Both clustered downstream, spanning a region encoding the channel pore and interacting with SUR1. If validated, this may guide risk stratification and eventually inform treatment-responder classification for SUR1-TRPM4 inhibition in TBI. Larger studies are warranted.

Project description:BackgroundAmong people who have suffered a traumatic brain injury, increased intracranial pressure continues to be a major cause of early death; it is estimated that about 11 people per 100 with traumatic brain injury die. Indomethacin (also known as indometacin) is a powerful cerebral vasoconstrictor that can reduce intracranial pressure and, ultimately, restore cerebral perfusion and oxygenation. Thus, indomethacin may improve the recovery of a person with traumatic brain injury.ObjectivesTo assess the effects of indomethacin for adults with severe traumatic brain injury.Search methodsWe ran the searches from inception to 23 August 2019. We searched the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL; 2019, Issue 8) in the Cochrane Library, Ovid MEDLINE, Ovid Embase, CINAHL Plus (EBSCO), four other databases, and clinical trials registries. We also screened reference lists and conference abstracts, and contacted experts in the field.Selection criteriaOur search criteria included randomised controlled trials (RCTs) that compared indomethacin with any control in adults presenting with severe traumatic brain injury associated with elevated intracranial pressure, with no previous decompressive surgery.Data collection and analysisTwo review authors independently decided on the selection of the studies. We followed standard Cochrane methods.Main resultsWe identified no eligible studies for this review, either completed or ongoing.Authors' conclusionsWe found no studies, either completed or ongoing, that assessed the effects of indomethacin in controlling intracranial hypertension secondary to severe traumatic brain injury. Thus, we cannot draw any conclusions about the effects of indomethacin on intracranial pressure, mortality rates, quality of life, disability or adverse effects. This absence of evidence should not be interpreted as evidence of no effect for indomethacin in controlling intracranial hypertension secondary to severe traumatic brain injury. It means that we have not identified eligible research for this review.

Project description:ObjectiveWhile existing guidelines support the treatment of intracranial hypertension in severe traumatic brain injury (TBI), it is unclear when to suspect and initiate treatment for high intracranial pressure (ICP). The objective of this study was to derive a clinical decision rule that accurately predicts intracranial hypertension.MethodsUsing Delphi methods, the authors identified a set of potential predictors of intracranial hypertension and a clinical decision rule a priori by consensus among a group of 43 neurosurgeons and intensivists who have extensive experience managing severe TBI without ICP monitoring. To validate these predictors, the authors used data from a Latin American trial (n = 150; BEST TRIP). To report on the performance of the rule, they calculated sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values with 95% confidence intervals. In a secondary analysis, the rule was validated using data from a North American trial (n = 131; COBRIT).ResultsThe final predictors and the clinical decision rule were approved by 97% of participants in the consensus working group. The predictors are divided into major and minor criteria. High ICP would be considered suspected in the presence of 1 major or ≥ 2 minor criteria. Major criteria are: compressed cisterns (CT classification of Marshall diffuse injury [DI] III), midline shift > 5 mm (Marshall DI IV), or nonevacuated mass lesion. Minor criteria are: Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) motor score ≤ 4, pupillary asymmetry, abnormal pupillary reactivity, or Marshall DI II. The area under the curve for the logistic regression model that contains all the predictors was 0.86. When high ICP was defined as > 22 mm Hg, the decision rule performed with a sensitivity of 93.9% (95% CI 85.0%-98.3%), a specificity of 42.3% (95% CI 31.7%-53.6%), a positive predictive value of 55.5% (95% CI 50.7%-60.2%), and a negative predictive value of 90% (95% CI 77.1%-96.0%). The sensitivity of the clinical decision rule improved with higher ICP cutoffs up to a sensitivity of 100% when intracranial hypertension was defined as ICP > 30 mm Hg. Similar results were found in the North American cohort.ConclusionsA simple clinical decision rule based on a combination of clinical and imaging findings was found to be highly sensitive in distinguishing patients with severe TBI who would suffer intracranial hypertension. It could be used to identify patients who require ICP monitoring in high-resource settings or start ICP-lowering treatment in environments where resource limitations preclude invasive monitoring.Clinical trial registration no.: NCT02059941 (clinicaltrials.gov).

Project description:ObjectiveABCC8 encodes sulfonylurea receptor 1, a key regulatory protein of cerebral oedema in many neurological disorders including traumatic brain injury (TBI). Sulfonylurea-receptor-1 inhibition has been promising in ameliorating cerebral oedema in clinical trials. We evaluated whether ABCC8 tag single-nucleotide polymorphisms predicted oedema and outcome in TBI.MethodsDNA was extracted from 485 prospectively enrolled patients with severe TBI. 410 were analysed after quality control. ABCC8 tag single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were identified (Hapmap, r2>0.8, minor-allele frequency >0.20) and sequenced (iPlex-Gold, MassArray). Outcomes included radiographic oedema, intracranial pressure (ICP) and 3-month Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) score. Proxy SNPs, spatial modelling, amino acid topology and functional predictions were determined using established software programs.ResultsWild-type rs7105832 and rs2237982 alleles and genotypes were associated with lower average ICP (β=-2.91, p=0.001; β=-2.28, p=0.003) and decreased radiographic oedema (OR 0.42, p=0.012; OR 0.52, p=0.017). Wild-type rs2237982 also increased favourable 3-month GOS (OR 2.45, p=0.006); this was partially mediated by oedema (p=0.03). Different polymorphisms predicted 3-month outcome: variant rs11024286 increased (OR 1.84, p=0.006) and wild-type rs4148622 decreased (OR 0.40, p=0.01) the odds of favourable outcome. Significant tag and concordant proxy SNPs regionally span introns/exons 2-15 of the 39-exon gene.ConclusionsThis study identifies four ABCC8 tag SNPs associated with cerebral oedema and/or outcome in TBI, tagging a region including 33 polymorphisms. In polymorphisms predictive of oedema, variant alleles/genotypes confer increased risk. Different variant polymorphisms were associated with favourable outcome, potentially suggesting distinct mechanisms. Significant polymorphisms spatially clustered flanking exons encoding the sulfonylurea receptor site and transmembrane domain 0/loop 0 (juxtaposing the channel pore/binding site). This, if validated, may help build a foundation for developing future strategies that may guide individualised care, treatment response, prognosis and patient selection for clinical trials.

Project description:To evaluate the clinical effectiveness of bolus-dose fentanyl and midazolam to treat episodic intracranial hypertension in children with severe traumatic brain injury.Retrospective cohort.PICU in a university-affiliated children's hospital level I trauma center.Thirty-one children 0-18 years of age with severe traumatic brain injury (Glasgow Coma Scale score of ? 8) who received bolus doses of fentanyl and/or midazolam for treatment of episodic intracranial hypertension.None.The area under the curve from high-resolution intracranial pressure-time plots was calculated to represent cumulative intracranial hypertension exposure: area under the curve for intracranial pressure above 20 mm Hg (area under the curve-intracranial hypertension) was calculated in 15-minute epochs before and after administration of fentanyl and/or midazolam for the treatment of episodic intracranial hypertension. Our primary outcome measure, the difference between predrug and postdrug administration epochs (?area under the curve-intracranial hypertension), was calculated for all occurrences. We examined potential covariates including age, injury severity, mechanism, and time after injury; time after injury correlated with ?area under the curve-intracranial hypertension. In a mixed-effects model, with patient as a random effect, drug/dose combination as a fixed effect, and time after injury as a covariate, intracranial hypertension increased after administration of fentanyl and/or midazolam (overall aggregate mean ?area under the curve-intracranial hypertension = +17 mm Hg × min, 95% CI, 0-34 mm Hg × min; p = 0.04). The mean ?area under the curve-intracranial hypertension increased significantly after administration of high-dose fentanyl (p = 0.02), low-dose midazolam (p = 0.006), and high-dose fentanyl plus low-dose midazolam (0.007). Secondary analysis using age-dependent thresholds showed no significant impact on cerebral perfusion pressure deficit (mean ?area under the curve-cerebral perfusion pressure).Bolus dosing of fentanyl and midazolam fails to reduce the intracranial hypertension burden when administered for episodic intracranial hypertension. Paradoxically, we observed an overall increase in intracranial hypertension burden following drug administration, even after accounting for within-subject effects and time after injury. Future work is needed to confirm these findings in a prospective study design.

Project description:Purpose of reviewStandard clinical protocols for treating cerebral edema and intracranial hypertension after severe TBI have remained remarkably similar over decades. Cerebral edema and intracranial hypertension are treated interchangeably when in fact intracranial pressure (ICP) is a proxy for cerebral edema but also other processes such as extent of mass lesions, hydrocephalus, or cerebral blood volume. A complex interplay of multiple molecular mechanisms results in cerebral edema after severe TBI, and these are not measured or targeted by current clinically available tools. Addressing these underpinnings may be key to preventing or treating cerebral edema and improving outcome after severe TBI.Recent findingsThis review begins by outlining basic principles underlying the relationship between edema and ICP including the Monro-Kellie doctrine and concepts of intracranial compliance/elastance. There is a subsequent brief discussion of current guidelines for ICP monitoring/management. We then focus most of the review on an evolving precision medicine approach towards cerebral edema and intracranial hypertension after TBI. Personalization of invasive neuromonitoring parameters including ICP waveform analysis, pulse amplitude, pressure reactivity, and longitudinal trajectories are presented. This is followed by a discussion of cerebral edema subtypes (continuum of ionic/cytotoxic/vasogenic edema and progressive secondary hemorrhage). Mechanisms of potential molecular contributors to cerebral edema after TBI are reviewed. For each target, we present findings from preclinical models, and evaluate their clinical utility as biomarkers and therapeutic targets for cerebral edema reduction. This selection represents promising candidates with evidence from different research groups, overlap/inter-relatedness with other pathways, and clinical/translational potential. We outline an evolving precision medicine and translational approach towards cerebral edema and intracranial hypertension after severe TBI.
