Lectin complement pathway initiators after subarachnoid hemorrhage - an observational study.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:This exploratory study investigated the time-course of lectin complement pathway (LCP) initiators in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and plasma in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), as well as their relationship to delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) and functional outcome. METHODS:Concentrations of ficolin-1, ficolin-2, ficolin-3, and mannose-binding lectin (MBL) were analyzed in CSF and plasma from patients with SAH. Samples were collected daily from admission until day 9 (CSF; N_PATIENTS = 63, n_SAMPLES = 399) and day 8 (plasma; N_PATIENTS = 50, n_SAMPLES = 358), respectively. Twelve neurologically healthy patients undergoing spinal anesthesia and 12 healthy blood donors served as controls. The development of DCI during hospitalization and functional outcome at 3?months (modified Rankin Scale) were registered for patients. RESULTS:On admission, CSF levels of all LCP initiators were increased in SAH patients compared with healthy controls. Levels declined gradually over days in patients; however, a biphasic course was observed for ficolin-1. Increased CSF levels of all LCP initiators were associated with a poor functional outcome in univariate analyses. This relationship persisted for ficolin-1 and MBL in multivariate analysis after adjustments for confounders (age, sex, clinical severity, distribution and amount of blood on CT-imaging) and multiple testing (1.87?ng/mL higher in average, 95% CI, 1.17 to 2.99 and 1.69?ng/mL higher in average, 95% CI, 1.09 to 2.63, respectively). In patients who developed DCI compared with those without DCI, CSF levels of ficolin-1 and MBL tended to increase slightly more over time (p_interaction = 0.021 and 0.033, respectively); however, no association was found after adjustments for confounders and multiple testing (p-adj_interaction = 0.086 and 0.098, respectively). Plasma ficolin-1 and ficolin-3 were lower in SAH patients compared with healthy controls on all days. DCI and functional outcome were not associated with LCP initiator levels in plasma. CONCLUSION:Patients with SAH displayed elevated CSF levels of ficolin-1, ficolin-2, ficolin-3, and MBL. Increased CSF levels of ficolin-1 and MBL were associated with a poor functional outcome. TRIAL REGISTRATION:This study was a retrospective analysis of samples, which had been prospectively sampled and stored in a biobank. Registered at clinicaltrials.gov ( NCT01791257 , February 13, 2013, and NCT02320539 , December 19, 2014).

Project description:BackgroundNimodipine improves outcomes following aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). Guidelines recommend that all patients should receive a fixed-dose nimodipine for 21 days. However, studies reported variability of nimodipine concentrations in aSAH. It is not clear if reduced systemic exposure contributes to worsening outcomes. The aim of this study was to compare nimodipine systemic exposure in those who experienced poor outcomes to those who experienced favorable outcomes.MethodsThis was a pilot prospective observational study in 30 adult patients admitted to the University of Alberta Hospital with aSAH. Data were collected from the electronic health records following enrollment. Blood samples were collected around one nimodipine 60 mg dose at a steady state, and nimodipine [total, (+)-R and (-)-S enantiomers] plasma concentrations were determined. The poor outcome was defined as a modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score at 90 days of 3-6, while the favorable outcome was an mRS score of 0-2. The correlation between nimodipine concentrations and percent changes in mean arterial pressure (MAP) before and after nimodipine administration was also determined. Furthermore, covariates potentially associated with nimodipine exposure were explored.ResultsIn total, 20 (69%) participants had favorable outcomes and 9 (31%) had poor outcomes. Following the exclusion of those with delayed presentation (>96 h from aSAH onset), among those presented with the World Federation of Neurological Surgeons (WFNS) grade 3-5, nimodipine median (interquartile range) area under the concentration time curve (AUC0-3h) in those with favorable outcomes were 4-fold higher than in those with poor outcomes [136 (52-192) vs. 33 (23-39) ng.h/mL, respectively, value of p = 0.2]. On the other hand, among those presented with WFNS grade 1-2, nimodipine AUC0-3h in those with favorable outcomes were significantly lower than in those with poor outcomes [30 (28-36) vs. 172 (117-308) ng.h/mL, respectively, value of p = 0.03)]. (+)-R-nimodipine AUC0-3h in those who did not develop vasospasm were 4-fold significantly higher than those who had vasospasm (value of p = 0.047). (-)-S-nimodipine was significantly correlated with percentage MAP reduction. Similar results were obtained when the whole cohort was analyzed.ConclusionThe study was the first to investigate the potential association between nimodipine exposure following oral dosing and outcomes. In addition, it suggests differential effects of nimodipine enantiomers, shedding light on the potential utility of nimodipine enantiomers. Larger studies are needed.

Project description:The diagnosis of cerebral vasospasm after Subarachnoid-Hemorrhage is currently very difficult, additional tools such as blood biomarkers are necessary. We tested the ability of gene expression profiles of blood cells to predict vasospasm. 32 patients suffering subarachnoid-hemorrhage were included in this prospective monocentre study. They were grouped according to have a complicated cerebral vasospasm (Vasospasm) or not (Control) and Paired according to age (+/- 10 years), sex, Fisher grade (+/- 1), location, smoking (at least 3 first parameters). Gene expression profiles of blood cells were determined using 25,000~gene microarray. Blood sample: 2.5 mL harvested in PAXgene® Blood RNA tubes (PreAnalytix) RNA extraction: PAXgene® Blood RNA kit (Qiagen). We used a Universel Reference RNA (Stratagene). RNA amplification and labelling: kit Amino Allyl MessageAmp II (Ambion). We hybridized 4 microarrays per patient using pangenomic microarrays from the "Réseau National des Génopôles" (Illkirch, France). 2 slides were hybridized with reference RNA labelled Cy3 and patient RNA labelled Cy5, and 2 slides were hybridized with reference RNA labelled Cy5 and patient RNA labelled Cy3. Hybridation : Agilent protocol with few modifications : 750 ng of each labelled RNA were hubriddized at 60°C during 17 hours in an Aglient hybridization oven. After washings, Slides were scanned with a GenePix 4000B scanner (Molecular Devices). Image intensity data were extracted with GenePix Pro 6.0 analysis software. Quantification of Cy3 and Cy5 and selection of good spots were performed using the MAIA software (Novikov E and Barillot E. Software package for automatic microarray image analysis (MAIA). The ACUITY software was then used to normalize log ratios Cy3/Cy5 with Lowess non linear normalization, to filter out genes not present in at least 3 slides out of 4, to evaluate the reproducibility of the 4 microarrays of each patient (hierarchical clustering, Self Organizing Maps). Statistical analyses to insure reproducibility was performed using Excel (correlation coefficients, ANOVA). Only slides that passed all reprocubility tests were validated.
