Project description:Traumatic and ischemic brain injury induce plasmalemma permeability and necrosis; however, no studies have examined these aspects of cellular injury in intracerebral hemorrhage models.In vivo propidium iodide (PI) and YOYO-1 were used to assess plasmalemma damage after collagenase-induced intracerebral hemorrhage in mice. Ex vivo aspartylglutamylvalylaspartic acid, terminal deoxynucleotidyltransferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling, and electron microscopy were used to assess the relationship between plasmalemma permeability and mode of cell death. Cell types vulnerable to plasmalemma damage were determined by immunohistochemistry.Plasmalemma permeability was first detected in the lesion at 1 to 3 hours and peaked at 48 to 72 hours. Neurons and IBA-1-positive cells with morphological features of monocytes were sensitive, whereas resident microglia and astrocytes were resistant to plasmalemma permeability. PI+ cells colocalized with fluorescent-labeled caspase substrates and terminal deoxynucleotidyltransferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling beginning at 3 to 6 hours. At 48 hours, greater than half of injured cells were PI+/aspartylglutamylvalylaspartic acid- or PI+/terminal deoxynucleotidyltransferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling- suggesting necrosis, and <5% were PI-/terminal deoxynucleotidyltransferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling+ or PI-/aspartylglutamylvalylaspartic acid+. Electron microscopy confirmed ultrastructural features of necrosis at 24 hours after intracerebral hemorrhage, high mobility group box protein-1 was released from permeable cells, and mice deficient in receptor interacting protein kinase (RIPK) 3, a known necrosis trigger, had 50% less PI+ cells at 24 hours. Permeable cells remained in the brain for at least 24 hours with <10% spontaneous resealing.Necrosis contributes to cell demise after intracerebral hemorrhage. Programmed necrosis and plasmalemma damage may represent novel therapeutic targets to prevent cell death or rescue injured cells after intracerebral hemorrhage.

Project description:BackgroundIntracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) accounts for up to 15% of all strokes and is characterized by high rates of mortality and morbidity. The post-ICH brain injury can be distinguished in 1) primary, which are caused by disruption and mechanical deformation of brain tissue due to hematoma growth and 2) secondary, which are induced by microglia activation, mitochondrial dysfunction, neurotransmitter and inflammatory mediator release. Although these events typically lead to necrosis, the occurrence of programmed cell death has also been reported after ICH.MethodsWe reviewed recent publications describing advance in pre- and clinic ICH research.ResultsAt present, treatment of ICH patients is based on oral anticoagulant reversal, management of blood pressure and other medical complications. Several pre-clinical studies showed promising results and demonstrated that anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory treatments reduced neuronal cell death, however, to date, all of these attempts have failed in randomized controlled clinical trials. Yet, the time frame of administration may be crucial in translation from animal to clinical studies. Furthermore, the latest pre-clinical research points toward the existence of other, apoptosisunrelated forms kinds of programmed cell death.ConclusionOur review summarizes current knowledge of pathways leading to programmed cell death after ICH in addition to data from clinical trials. Some of the pre-clinical results have not yet demonstrated clinical confirmation, however they significantly contribute to our understanding of post-ICH pathology and can contribute to development of new therapeutic approaches, decreasing mortality and improving ICH patients' quality of life.

Project description:Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a life-threatening condition associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying ICH and its severe form is crucial for developing effective therapeutic strategies. This study investigates transcriptomic alterations in rodent models of ICH and severe intracerebral hemorrhage to shed light on the genetic pathways involved in hemorrhagic brain injury. We performed principal component analysis, revealing distinct principal component segments of normal rats compared to intracerebral hemorrhage and severe intracerebral hemorrhage rats. We further employed heatmaps and volcano plots to identify differentially expressed genes and utilized bar plots and KEGG pathway analysis to elucidate the different molecular pathways involved. Using comprehensive RNA sequencing and bioinformatics analyses, we identified a multitude of differentially expressed genes in both the ICH and severe ICH models. Our results revealed 5679 common genes among the normal, intracerebral hemorrhage, and severe intracerebral hemorrhage groups in the upregulated genes group, and 1196 common genes in the downregulated genes. A volcano plot comparing the groups further highlighted common genes, including PDPN, TIMP1, SERPINE1, TUBB6, and CD44. These findings underscore the complex interplay of genes involved in inflammation, oxidative stress, and neuronal damage. Furthermore, pathway enrichment analysis uncovered key signaling pathways, including the TNF signaling pathway, protein processing in the endoplasmic reticulum, MAPK signaling pathway, and Fc gamma R-mediated phagocytosis, implicated in the pathogenesis of ICH.

Project description:Hydrogen inhalation was neuroprotective in several brain injury models. Its mechanisms are believed to be related to antioxidative stress. We investigated the potential neurovascular protective effect of hydrogen inhalation especially effect on mast cell activation in a mouse model of intracerebral hemorrhage.Controlled in vivo laboratory study.Animal research laboratory.One hundred seventy-one 8-week-old male CD-1 mice were used.Collagenase-induced intracerebral hemorrhage model in 8-week-old male CD-1 mice was used. Hydrogen was administrated via spontaneous inhalation. The blood-brain barrier permeability and neurologic deficits were investigated at 24 and 72 hours after intracerebral hemorrhage. Mast cell activation was evaluated by Western blot and immuno-staining. The effects of hydrogen inhalation on mast cell activation were confirmed in an autologous blood injection model intracerebral hemorrhage.At 24 and 72 hours post intracerebral hemorrhage, animals showed blood-brain barrier disruption, brain edema, and neurologic deficits, accompanied with phosphorylation of Lyn kinase and release of tryptase, indicating mast cell activation. Hydrogen treatment diminished phosphorylation of Lyn kinase and release of tryptase, decreased accumulation and degranulation of mast cells, attenuated blood-brain barrier disruption, and improved neurobehavioral function.Activation of mast cells following intracerebral hemorrhage contributed to increase of blood-brain barrier permeability and brain edema. Hydrogen inhalation preserved blood-brain barrier disruption by prevention of mast cell activation after intracerebral hemorrhage.

Project description:Previous studies have shown that intraparenchymal transplantation of neural stem cells ameliorates neurological deficits in animals with intracerebral hemorrhage. However, hemoglobin in the host brain environment causes massive grafted cell death and reduces the effectiveness of this approach. Several studies have shown that preconditioning induced by sublethal hypoxia can markedly improve the tolerance of treated subjects to more severe insults. Therefore, we investigated whether hypoxic preconditioning enhances neural stem cell resilience to the hemorrhagic stroke environment and improves therapeutic effects in mice. To assess whether hypoxic preconditioning enhances neural stem cell survival when exposed to hemoglobin, neural stem cells were exposed to 5% hypoxia for 24 hours before exposure to hemoglobin. To study the effectiveness of hypoxic preconditioning on grafted-neural stem cell recovery, neural stem cells subjected to hypoxic preconditioning were grafted into the parenchyma 3 days after intracerebral hemorrhage. Hypoxic preconditioning significantly enhanced viability of the neural stem cells exposed to hemoglobin and increased grafted-cell survival in the intracerebral hemorrhage brain. Hypoxic preconditioning also increased neural stem cell secretion of vascular endothelial growth factor. Finally, transplanted neural stem cells with hypoxic preconditioning exhibited enhanced tissue-protective capability that accelerated behavioral recovery. Our results suggest that hypoxic preconditioning in neural stem cells improves efficacy of stem cell therapy for intracerebral hemorrhage.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Neuroinflammation is an important host defense response to secondary brain injury after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM2) confers strong neuroprotective effects by attenuating neuroinflammation in experimental ischemic stroke. Recent studies suggest that apolipoprotein E (apoE) is a novel, high-affinity ligand of TREM2. This study aimed to investigate the effects of TREM2 activation on neuroinflammation and neuronal apoptosis in a mouse model of ICH. METHODS:Adult male CD1 mice (n = 216) were subjected to intrastriatal injection of bacterial collagenase. The TREM2 ligand, apoE-mimetic peptide COG1410 was administered intranasally at 1?h after ICH induction. To elucidate the underlying mechanism, TREM2 small interfering RNA (siRNA) and the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitor LY294002 were administered intracerebroventricularly prior to COG1410 treatment. Neurobehavioral tests, brain water content, immunofluorescence, western blotting, and Fluoro-Jade C- and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling staining were performed. RESULTS:Endogenous TREM2 expression was increased and peaked at 24?h after ICH. TREM2 was expressed on microglia, astrocytes, and neurons. COG1410 improved both short-term and long-term neurological functions, reduced brain edema, inhibited microglia/macrophage activation and neutrophil infiltration, and suppressed neuronal apoptotic cell death in perihematomal areas after ICH. Knockdown of endogenous TREM2 by TREM2 siRNA aggravated neurological deficits and decreased the expression of TREM2 in naïve and ICH mice. COG1410 was associated with upregulation of TREM2, PI3K, phosphorylated-Akt, and Bcl-2 and downregulation of TNF-?, IL-1?, and Bax after ICH. The neuroprotective effects of COG1410 were abolished by both TREM2 siRNA and PI3K inhibitor LY294002. CONCLUSIONS:Our finding demonstrated that TREM2 activation improved neurological functions and attenuated neuroinflammation and neuronal apoptosis after ICH, which was, at least in part, mediated by activation of PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. Therefore, activation of TREM2 may be a potential therapeutic strategy for the management of ICH patients.

Project description:Polarized microglia play a dual (beneficial/detrimental) role in neurological diseases. However, the status and the factors that modulate microglia polarization in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) remain unclear. In the present study, we investigated the role of protease-activated receptor-1 (PAR-1, a thrombin receptor) in ICH-induced microglia polarization in mice. Male wild-type (WT) and PAR-1 knockout (PAR-1 KO) mice received an infusion of 30-μL autologous blood or saline into the right basal ganglia. Mice were euthanized at different time points and the brains were used for Western blotting and immunohistochemistry. Some mice had magnetic resonance imaging. We found that ICH induced microglia activation and polarization. M1 phenotypic markers were markedly increased and reached a peak as early as 4 h, remained high at 3 days and decreased 7 days after ICH. M2 phenotypic markers were upregulated later than M1 markers reaching a peak at day 1 and declining by day 7 after ICH. PAR-1 was upregulated after ICH and expressed in the neurons and microglia. ICH induced less brain swelling and neuronal death in PAR-1 KO mice, and this was associated with less M1 polarization and reduced proinflammatory cytokine levels in the brain. In conclusion, these results suggest that polarized microglia occur dynamically after ICH and that PAR-1 plays a role in the microglia activation and polarization.

Project description:The activation of C-C chemokine receptor type 1 (CCR1) has been shown to be pro-inflammatory in several animal models of neurological diseases. The objective of this study was to investigate the activation of CCR1 on neuroinflammation in a mouse model of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and the mechanism of CCR1/tetratricopeptide repeat 1 (TPR1)/extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) signaling pathway in CCR1-mediated neuroinflammation. Adult male CD1 mice (n = 210) were used in the study. The selective CCR1 antagonist Met-RANTES was administered intranasally at 1 h after autologous blood injection. To elucidate potential mechanism, a specific ERK1/2 activator (ceramide C6) was administered prior to Met-RANTES treatment; CCR1 activator (recombinant CCL5, rCCL5) and TPR1 CRISPR were administered in naïve mouse. Neurobehavioral assessments, brain water content, immunofluorescence staining, and western blot were performed. The endogenous expressions of CCR1, CCL5, TPR1, and p-ERK1/2 were increased in the brain after ICH. CCR1 were expressed on microglia, neurons, and astrocytes. The inhibition of CCR1 with Met-RANTES improved neurologic function, decreased brain edema, and suppressed microglia/macrophage activations and neutrophil infiltration after ICH. Met-RANTES treatment decreased expressions of CCR1, TPR1, p-ERK, TNF-α, and IL-1β, which was reversed by ceramide C6. The brain CCR1 activation by rCCL5 injection in naïve mouse resulted in neurological deficits and increased expressions of CCR1, TPR1, p-ERK, TNF-α, and IL-1β. These detrimental effects of rCCL5 were reversed by TPR1 knockdown using TPR1 CRISPR. Our study demonstrated that CCR1 activation promoted neuroinflammation through CCR1/TPR1/ERK1/2 signaling pathway after ICH in mice. CCR1 inhibition with Met-RANTES attenuated neuroinflammation, thereby reducing brain edema and improving neurobehavioral functions. Targeting CCR1 activation may provide a promising therapeutic approach in the management of ICH patients.

Project description:Oxidative stress and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) contribute to hemorrhagic transformation after ischemic stroke and brain injury after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). The goal of this study was to develop a new model of spontaneous ICH, based on the hypothesis that acute, superimposed on chronic, hypertension produces ICH. We hypothesized that increases in angiotensin II (AngII)-mediated oxidative stress and activation of MMPs are associated with, and may precede, spontaneous ICH during hypertension. In C57BL/6 mice, chronic hypertension was produced with AngII infusion and an inhibitor of nitric oxide synthase. During chronic hypertension, mice with acute hypertension from injections of AngII developed ICH. Oxidative stress and MMP levels increased in the brain even before developing ICH. Active MMPs colocalized with a marker of oxidative stress, especially on cerebral vessels that appeared to lead toward regions with ICH. Incidence of ICH and levels of oxidative stress and MMP-9 were greater in mice with acute hypertension produced by AngII than by norepinephrine. In summary, we have developed an experimental model of ICH during hypertension that may facilitate studies in genetically altered mice. We speculate that acute hypertension, especially when induced by AngII, may be critical in spontaneous ICH during chronic hypertension, possibly through oxidative stress and MMP-9.

Project description:Minocycline ameliorates deficits in models of acute and chronic neurological diseases, but many publications do not replicate these results. We tested the hypothesis that a key factor in achieving neurological benefits is the exposure of neural cells to local high concentrations of minocycline. This hypothesis was evaluated by using human neurons in culture and in a mouse model of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). In culture, neurons were very vulnerable to blood-induced toxicity, with 60% lost within 24 hours in an environment of 5% blood in culture medium. Minocycline reduced blood-induced neurotoxicity in a concentration-dependent manner. In vivo, the introduction of blood into the striatum of mice to simulate ICH resulted in a massive lesion by 24 hours. When minocycline was mixed with the blood used to inflict ICH, the resulting extent of neuropathology was significantly less than that achieved with intraperitoneal administration of medication. The combination of intracerebral and intraperitoneal minocycline improved neuroprotection compared with either alone. We then delayed minocycline treatment and injected it into the hematoma 1 hour after ICH. We found greater alleviation of brain damage and neuronal death with increasing concentrations of minocycline injected locally, which was reflected in limited behavioral and histological recovery. We conclude that the prospect of neuroprotection with minocycline is improved by high concentrations of minocycline delivered locally into the central nervous system with supplementation from systemic administration.
