TMT-based quantitative proteomics reveals the protective mechanism of tenuigenin after experimental intracerebral hemorrhage in mice. JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2024; 319:117213. [PMID: 37739103 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2023.117213] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/19/2023] [Revised: 09/17/2023] [Accepted: 09/20/2023] [Indexed: 09/24/2023]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Tenuigenin (TNG) is an extract obtained from Polygalae Radix. It possesses anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and neuroprotective properties. However, the potential mechanism of TNG in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) has not been well studied. AIM OF THE STUDY In the present study, we aimed to identify the prospective mechanism of TNG in treating ICH. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 120 mice were divided into five groups: Sham group, ICH + vehicle group, ICH + TNG(8 mg/kg), ICH + TNG(16 mg/kg), and ICH + TNG(32 mg/kg). The modified Garcia test and beam walking test were carried out at 24 h and 72 h after ICH. Brain water content, haematoma volume and hemoglobin content examinations were performed at 72 h after ICH. TMT-based quantitative proteomics combined with bioinformatics analysis methods was used to distinguish differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) to explore potential pharmacological mechanisms. Western blotting was performed to validate representative proteins. RESULTS Our results showed that the optimal dose of TNG was 16 mg/kg, which could markedly improve neurological functions, and reduce cerebral oedema, haematoma volume and hemoglobin levels 72 h after ICH. A total of 404 DEPs (353 up-and 51 downregulated) were identified in the ICH + vehicle vs. sham group, while 342 DEPs (306 up-and 36 downregulated) and 76 DEPs (28 up-and 48 downregulated) were quantified in the TNG vs. sham group and TNG vs. ICH + vehicle group, respectively. In addition, a total of 26 DEPs were selected according to strict criteria. Complement and coagulation cascades were the most significantly enriched pathways, and two proteins (MBL-C and Car1) were further validated as hub molecules. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggested that the therapeutic effects of TNG on ICH were closely associated with the complement system, and that MBL-C and Car1 might be potential targets of TNG for the treatment of ICH.

Naoxueshu oral liquid promotes hematoma absorption by targeting CD36 in M2 microglia via TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB signaling pathway in rats with intracerebral hemorrhage. JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2024; 319:117116. [PMID: 37659762 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2023.117116] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/10/2023] [Revised: 08/25/2023] [Accepted: 08/30/2023] [Indexed: 09/04/2023]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a major public health issue that leads to elevated rates of death and disability and has few proven treatments. Naoxueshu oral liquid (NXS), a TCM patent drug, is widely used in patients with ICH. Although a series of clinical studies have confirmed the efficacy and safety of NXS, the underlying mechanism of hematoma absorption is unclear. AIM OF THE STUDY Our work aimed to elucidate the effect and mechanism of NXS on hematoma absorption in rats with ICH. MATERIALS AND METHODS Induction of ICH model in the rats with intracerebral injection of collagenase VII, followed by treatment with NXS and Edaravone as a control neuroprotection medication. Neural functional recovery was assessed using mNSS, foot fault test, corner test, forelimb grip-traction test, and adhesive removal test. Hematoma absorption was assessed by the spectrophotometric hemoglobin assay with Drabkin's reagent. The protein expression of CD36, M2 microglia marker (CD206 and YM-1) and TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB pathway related proteins were determined by Western blot and immunofluorescence. RESULTS NXS could significantly ameliorate the ICH recovery of neural and locomotor function as well as reduce hemorrhage volume. NXS could increase the expression of CD36 expressed in M2 microglia and promote M2 microglia polarization. Simultaneously, NXS significantly suppressed protein expressions of TLR4, MyD88, and NF-κB following ICH in rats. The results indicated that lipopolysaccharide (LPS), TLR4 specific agonist, could partially reverse the change in ICH rats administrated with NXS. CONCLUSIONS NXS promotes hematoma absorption by targeting CD36 expression in M2 microglia via TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB signaling pathway in rats with ICH. Collectively, current research provides a novel theoretical basis for the clinical application of NXS.

Abstract
The process of ferroptosis, a recently identified form of regulated cell death (RCD) is associated with the overloading of iron species and lipid-derived ROS accumulation. Ferroptosis is induced by various mechanisms such as inhibiting system Xc, glutathione depletion, targeting excess iron, and directly inhibiting GPX4 enzyme. Also, ferroptosis inhibition is achieved by blocking excessive lipid peroxidation by targeting different pathways. These mechanisms are often related to the pathophysiology and pathogenesis of diseases like cancer and Alzheimer's. Fundamentally distinct from other forms of cell death, such as necrosis and apoptosis, ferroptosis differs in terms of biochemistry, functions, and morphology. The mechanism by which ferroptosis acts as a regulatory factor in many diseases remains elusive. Studying the activation and inhibition of ferroptosis as a means to mitigate the progression of various diseases is a highly intriguing and actively researched topic. It has emerged as a focal point in etiological research and treatment strategies. This review systematically summarizes the different mechanisms involved in the inhibition and induction of ferroptosis. We have extensively explored different agents that can induce or inhibit ferroptosis. This review offers current perspectives on recent developments in ferroptosis research, highlighting the disease's etiology and presenting references to enhance its understanding. It also explores new targets for the treatment of cancer and Alzheimer's disease.

Abstract
Glioblastoma (GBM) is among the deadliest malignancies facing modern oncology. While our understanding of certain aspects of GBM biology has significantly increased over the last decade, other aspects, such as the role of bioactive metals in GBM progression, remain understudied. Iron is the most abundant transition metal found within the earth's crust and plays an intricate role in human physiology owing to its ability to participate in oxidation-reduction reactions. The importance of iron homeostasis in human physiology is apparent when examining the clinical consequences of iron deficiency or iron overload. Despite this, the role of iron in GBM progression has not been well described. Here, we review and synthesize the existing literature examining iron's role in GBM progression and patient outcomes, as well as provide a survey of iron's effects on the major cell types found within the GBM microenvironment at the molecular and cellular level. Iron represents an accessible target given the availability of already approved iron supplements and chelators. Improving our understanding of iron's role in GBM biology may pave the way for iron-modulating approaches to improve patient outcomes.

Abstract
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) remains the most lethal type of stroke, and effective clinical therapies that can speed up hematoma resolution after ICH are still lacking. While the beneficial effects of IL-10 on ICH recovery have been demonstrated, the clinical translation of IL-10 requires effective delivery methods by which sufficient IL-10 can be delivered to ICH-affected regions in the brain. Here we report the use of a phosphatidylserine (PS) liposome (PSL)-based nanoparticle system for microglia/macrophage-targeted delivery of IL-10 in ICH. We first prepared IL-10-conjugated PSL (PSL-IL10) and characterized their immunomodulating effects in vitro. Then we evaluated the therapeutic effects, including hematoma absorption, short-term outcomes, and neuroinflammation, of intranasally administered PSL-IL10 (3 μg IL-10 per mouse, 2 h post-ICH) in a collagenase-induced ICH mouse model. We also isolated microglia/macrophages from the mouse brains with ICH to analyze their morphology, phagocytosis ability, and polarization. Our study reveals that, 1) PSL-IL10 treatment resulted in significantly improved outcomes and accelerated hematoma resolution in the acute phase of ICH; 2) PSL-IL10 inhibited glial activation and down-regulated pro-inflammatory cytokine production; 3) PSL-IL10 induced Iba1+ cells with a stronger phagocytosis ability; 4) PSL-IL10 activated STAT3 and upregulated CD36 expression in microglia/macrophage. These findings collectively show that PSL-IL10 is a promising nanotherapeutic for effectively ameliorating ICH.

Abstract
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a subtype of stroke with a high mortality rate. Oxidative stress cascades play an important role in brain injury after ICH. Cannabidiol, a major non-psychotropic phytocannabinoids, has drawn increasing interest in recent years as a potential therapeutic intervention for various neuropsychiatric disorders. Here we provide a comprehensive review of the potential therapeutic effects of cannabidiol in countering oxidative stress resulting from ICH. The review elaborates on the various sources of oxidative stress post-ICH, including mitochondrial dysfunction, excitotoxicity, iron toxicity, inflammation, and also highlights cannabidiol's ability to inhibit ROS/RNS generation from these sources. The article also delves into cannabidiol's role in promoting ROS/RNS scavenging through the Nrf2/ARE pathway, detailing both extranuclear and intranuclear regulatory mechanisms. Overall, the review underscores cannabidiol's promising antioxidant effects in the context of ICH and suggests its potential as a therapeutic option.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a frequent type of hemorrhagic stroke. Numerous studies have suggested that inflammation plays an important role in the injury and recovery of ICH. β2-microglobulin (β2M) is an inflammatory indicator with an unclear association with ICH development. This study aimed to explore the role of β2M in the outcome of patients with ICH after 3 months of ICH onset. METHODS The β2M and other baseline information of 231 patients with ICH were assessed (83 females and 148 males). We followed up with all patients 3 months after ICH onset, and severe disability or a worse outcome was our main focus. We collected the serum β2M levels, National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) and modified Rankin scale (mRS) scores, and other relevant baseline information of each patient. We used multiple regression analysis to explore the association between β2M levels and follow-up outcomes. RESULTS Our results indicated that the β2M level of the good outcome (2.35 ± 0.84 mg/l) group was significantly lower than that of the poor outcome group (3.06 ± 1.71 mg/l) (P < 0.001). Further multiple regression analysis showed that β2M was regarded as a risk factor that was closely associated with the poor outcome 3 months after ICH onset (odds ratio = 2.26, 95% confidence interval = 1.22-4.19, P = 0.009). Further correlation analysis revealed that β2M was significantly correlated with NIHSS scores (r = 0.187, P = 0.004) and follow-up mRS scores (r = 0.25, P < 0.001). CONCLUSION β2M was a risk factor for early outcome after ICH onset, and high β2M level was associated with short-time poor prognosis of ICH patients.

Abstract
Emerging evidence suggests that ferroptosis, a unique regulated cell death modality that is morphologically and mechanistically different from other forms of cell death, plays a vital role in the pathophysiological process of neurodegenerative diseases, and strokes. Accumulating evidence supports ferroptosis as a critical factor of neurodegenerative diseases and strokes, and pharmacological inhibition of ferroptosis as a therapeutic target for these diseases. In this review article, the core mechanisms of ferroptosis are overviewed and the roles of ferroptosis in neurodegenerative diseases and strokes are described. Finally, the emerging findings in treating neurodegenerative diseases and strokes through pharmacological inhibition of ferroptosis are described. This review demonstrates that pharmacological inhibition of ferroptosis by bioactive small-molecule compounds (ferroptosis inhibitors) could be effective for treatments of these diseases, and highlights a potential promising therapeutic avenue that could be used to prevent neurodegenerative diseases and strokes. This review article will shed light on developing novel therapeutic regimens by pharmacological inhibition of ferroptosis to slow down the progression of these diseases in the future.

Abstract
Post-stroke depression exacerbates neurologic deficits and quality of life. Depression after ischemic stroke is known to some extent. However, depression after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is relatively unknown. Increasing evidence shows that exposure to an enriched environment (EE) after cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury has neuroprotective effects in animal models, but its impact after ICH is unknown. In this study, we investigated the effect of EE on long-term functional outcomes in mice subjected to collagenase-induced striatal ICH. Mice were subjected to ICH with the standard environment (SE) or ICH with EE for 6 h/day (8:00 am-2:00 pm). Depressive, anxiety-like behaviors and cognitive tests were evaluated on day 28 with the sucrose preference test, tail suspension test, forced swim test, light-dark transition experiment, morris water maze, and novel object recognition test. Exposure to EE improved neurologic function, attenuated depressive and anxiety-like behaviors, and promoted spatial learning and memory. These changes were associated with increased expression of transcription factor Nrf2 and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and inhibited glutaminase activity in the perihematomal tissue. However, EE did not change the above behavioral outcomes in Nrf2-/- mice on day 28. Furthermore, exposure to EE did not increase BDNF expression compared to exposure to SE in Nrf2-/- mice on day 28 after ICH. These findings indicate that EE improves long-term outcomes in sensorimotor, emotional, and cognitive behavior after ICH and that the underlying mechanism involves the Nrf2/BDNF/glutaminase pathway.

Cell Signal 2023; 104:110594. [PMID: 36646297 DOI: 10.1016/j.cellsig.2023.110594] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/16/2022] [Revised: 01/03/2023] [Accepted: 01/10/2023] [Indexed: 01/15/2023]
Abstract
Ferroptosis is a form of iron-dependent programmed cell death discovered in recent years that has been shown to be involved in diverse neurological disorders. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is an important signaling molecule with neuroprotective effects, including antioxidation. However, whether the protective mechanism of H2S is related to ferroptosis remains unknown. Therefore, in this study, we focused on the protective mechanisms of sodium hydrosulfide (NaHS, a donor of H2S) against ferroptosis caused by intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) using a hemin-induced BV2 cell injury model in vitro. Our results indicated that NaHS enhanced cell viability and reduced hemin-induced lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release. NaHS suppressed ferroptosis after hemin treatment, which was confirmed by attenuated reactive oxygen species (ROS) and lipid peroxidation, maintained iron homeostasis, recovery of the expression of glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) and solute carrier family 7-member 11 (SLC7A11), and increased glutathione (GSH) production. Moreover, we demonstrated that inhibiting ferroptosis improved cell survival and prevented hemin-induced oxidative stress. In addition, NaHS was also able to block ferroptosis inducer RSL3-induced ferroptotic cell death. We also found that NaHS increased cystathionine-β-synthase (CBS) expression and H2S levels after hemin treatment. Furthermore, NaHS-induced ferroptosis reduction was inhibited by the CBS inhibitor aminooxyacetic acid (AOAA) as well as by CBS small interference RNA (siCBS). In summary, these findings demonstrated that NaHS protects against hemin-induced ferroptosis by reducing lipid peroxidation, inhibiting iron overload, increasing GSH production, and improving GPX4 and SLC7A11 via the CBS/H2S system. The CBS/H2S system may be a promising target for preventing ferroptosis after ICH.

Abstract
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a serious cerebrovascular disease with high rates of morbidity, mortality, and disability. Optimal treatment of ICH is a major clinical challenge, as the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Ferroptosis, a newly identified form of non-apoptotic programmed cell death, is characterized by the iron-induced accumulation of lipid reactive oxygen species (ROS), leading to intracellular oxidative stress. Lipid ROS causes damage to nucleic acids, proteins, and cell membranes, eventually resulting in ferroptosis. In the past 10 years, ferroptosis has resulted in plenty of discoveries and breakthroughs in cancer, neurodegeneration, and other diseases. Some studies have also reported that ferroptosis does occur after ICH in vitro and in vivo and contribute to neuronal death. However, the studies on ferroptosis following ICH are still in the preliminary stage. In this review, we will summarize the current evidence on the mechanism underlying ferroptosis after ICH. And review the traditional modes of neuronal death to identify the crosstalk with ferroptosis in ICH, including apoptosis, necroptosis, and autophagy. Additionally, we also aim to explore the promising therapeutic application of ferroptosis in cell death-based ICH.

Abstract
Hemorrhagic stroke is a devastating cerebrovascular disease with high morbidity and mortality, for which effective therapies are currently unavailable. Based on different bleeding sites, hemorrhagic stroke can be generally divided into intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), whose pathogenesis share some similarity. Ferroptosis is a recently defined programmed cell deaths (PCDs), which is a critical supplement to the hypothesis on the mechanism of nervous system injury after hemorrhagic stroke. Ferroptosis is characterized by distinctive morphological changes of mitochondria and iron-dependent accumulation of lipid peroxides. Moreover, scientists have successfully demonstrated the involvement of ferroptosis in animal models of ICH and SAH, indicating that ferroptosis is a promising target for hemorrhagic stroke therapy. However, the studies on ferroptosis still faces a serious of technical and theoretical challenges. This review systematically elaborates the role of ferroptosis in the pathogenesis of hemorrhagic stroke and puts forward some opinions on the dilemma of ferroptosis research.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Noninvasive imaging of molecular alterations after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) could provide valuable information to guide and monitor treatments. Chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) magnetic resonance imaging has demonstrated promises in identifying proliferation, necrosis, and changes in cellularity in brain tumors. Here, we applied CEST magnetic resonance imaging to monitor molecular changes in hematoma without and with treatment noninvasively over 2 weeks at 3T using endogenous contrast. METHODS CEST contrast related to proteins at 3.5 ppm (amide proton transfer) and proteins/lipids at -3.5 ppm (relayed nuclear overhauser effect [rNOE]) were examined over 14 days in a collagenase-induced ICH mouse model. Imaging findings were validated with immunohistochemistry based on the ICH neuropathology. We also examined iron-containing phantoms that mimicked iron concentrations in hematoma to ensure the iron will not attenuate the CEST contrast during disease progression. Based on the validity of the CEST contrast of hematoma, we further examined related molecular alterations under iron-chelation treatment with deferoxamine. RESULTS We observed the temporal and spatial differences of CEST contrasts between rNOE at -3.5 ppm and amide proton transfer at 3.5 ppm, in which the core and perihematoma could be identified by rNOE on day 3 and day 14, and amide proton transfer on day 1, day 7, and day 14. Moreover, we observed a 25.7% significant reduction (P<0.05) of rNOE contrast after deferoxamine treatment to the ICH mice on day 3, which was not observable in amide proton transfer contrast. Our histology data indicated that rNOE primarily correlated with the myelin pathology, and amide proton transfer could reflect the cellularity increase at hematoma up to day 7. CONCLUSIONS Significant rNOE changes correlated well with histologic findings, especially myelin lipids, and regional characteristics in hematoma indicate the uniqueness of CEST magnetic resonance imaging in monitoring molecular changes during ICH and treatment.

Abstract
The current animal models of stroke primarily model a single intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) attack, and there is a lack of a reliable model of recurrent ICH. In this study, we established 16-month-old C57BL/6 male mouse models of ICH by injecting collagenase VII-S into the left striatum. Twenty-one days later, we injected collagenase VII-S into the right striatum to simulate recurrent ICH. Our results showed that mice subjected to bilateral striatal hemorrhage had poorer neurological function at the early stage of hemorrhage, delayed recovery in locomotor function, motor coordination, and movement speed, and more obvious emotional and cognitive dysfunction than mice subjected to unilateral striatal hemorrhage. These findings indicate that mouse models of bilateral striatal hemorrhage can well simulate clinically common recurrent ICH. These models should be used as a novel tool for investigating the pathogenesis and treatment targets of recurrent ICH.

Abstract
Monitoring ferroptosis-related miRNAs is crucial for the treatment and prognosis of patients with intracerebral hemorrhage. In this work, a novel hydrophobic paper (h-paper)-based plasmonic substrate was produced by dropping DS Au nanorods with a narrow range of sizes and morphologies onto h-paper. Raman reporter molecules were adsorbed to the array surface, and surface-enhanced Raman scattering spectra at randomly selected points reveal uniform and significant SERS enhancement. Hairpin DNAs labelled with Raman reporters and hybridized with placeholder DNAs were decorated on SERS substrate to fabricate SERS biosensor. Target miRNAs initiated the "inverse Molecular Sentinel" process. During the process, PHs were removed and the conformation of HPs changed toward the hairpin structure, thus eliciting the proximity of Raman reporter to substrate and a stronger SERS signal. The proposed SERS biosensor performs well in terms of stability, reproducibility, and selectivity. The limits of detection of miR-122-5p and miR-140-5p in serum were 4.17 aM and 4.49 aM, respectively. Finally, the fabricated SERS biosensor was applied to detect miR-122-5p and miR-140-5p in ICH patients and healthy subjects, and the results obtained by SERS were consistent with the results from quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, revealing the accuracy of the method. This simple, rapid approach offers great potential for the simultaneous detection of miRNAs in practical clinical applications.

Abstract
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a neurological disease with high mortality and disability. Recent studies showed that white matter injury (WMI) plays an important role in motor dysfunction after ICH. WMI includes WMI proximal to the lesion and WMI distal to the lesion, such as corticospinal tract injury located at the cervical enlargement of the spinal cord after ICH. Previous studies have tended to focus only on gray matter (GM) injury after ICH, and fewer studies have paid attention to WMI, which may be one of the reasons for the poor outcome of previous drug treatments. Microglia and astrocyte-mediated neuroinflammation are significant mechanisms responsible for secondary WMI following ICH. The NOD-like receptor family, pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome activation, has been shown to exacerbate neuroinflammation and brain injury after ICH. Moreover, NLRP3 inflammasome is activated in microglia and astrocytes and exerts a vital role in microglia and astrocytes-mediated neuroinflammation. We speculate that NLRP3 inflammasome activation is closely related to the polarization of microglia and astrocytes and that NLRP3 inflammasome activation may exacerbate WMI by polarizing microglia and astrocytes to the pro-inflammatory phenotype after ICH, while NLRP3 inflammasome inhibition may attenuate WMI by polarizing microglia and astrocytes to the anti-inflammatory phenotype following ICH. Therefore, NLRP3 inflammasome may act as leveraged regulatory fulcrums for microglia and astrocytes polarization to modulate WMI and WM repair after ICH. This review summarized the possible mechanisms by which neuroinflammation mediated by NLRP3 inflammasome exacerbates secondary WMI after ICH and discussed the potential therapeutic targets.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The formation and degradation of an intracerebral hemorrhage causes protracted cell death, and an extended window for intervention. Experimental studies find that rehabilitation mitigates late cell death, with accelerated hematoma clearance as a potential mechanism. OBJECTIVE We assessed whether early, intense, enriched rehabilitation (ER, environmental enrichment and massed skills training) enhances functional benefit, reduces brain injury, and augments hematoma clearance. METHODS In experiment 1, rats (n = 56) were randomized to intervention in the light (-L) or dark phase (-D) of their housing cycle, then to 10 days of ER or control (CON) treatment after collagenase-induced striatal intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). ER rats were treated from 5 to 14 days after ICH. Behavior and residual hematoma volume was assessed on day 14. In experiment 2, rats (n = 72) were randomized to ER-D10, ER-D20, or CON-D. ER rats completed 10 or 20 days of training in the dark. Rats were euthanized on day 60 for histology. In both experiments, behavioral assessment was completed pre-ICH, pre-ER (day 4 post-ICH), and post-ER (experiment 1: days 13-14; experiment 2: days 16-17 and 30-31). RESULTS Reaching intensity was high but similar between ER-D10 and ER-L10. Unlike previous work, rehabilitation did not alter skilled reaching or hematoma resolution. Varying ER duration also did not affect reaching success or lesion volume. CONCLUSIONS In contrast to others, and under these conditions, our findings show that striatal ICH was generally unresponsive to rehabilitation. This highlights the difficulty of replicating and extending published work, perhaps owing to small inter-study differences.

Abstract
Stroke is the second highest cause of death globally, with an increasing incidence in developing countries. Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) accounts for 10-15% of all strokes. ICH is associated with poor neurological outcomes and high mortality due to the combination of primary and secondary injury. Fortunately, experimental therapies are available that may improve functional outcomes in patients with ICH. These therapies targeting secondary brain injury have attracted substantial attention in their translational potential. Here, we summarize recent advances in therapeutic strategies and directions for ICH and discuss the barriers and issues that need to be overcome to improve ICH prognosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Ferroptosis is a newly emerged form of cell apoptosis and one of the characters of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Currently there are limited therapeutic approaches for ICH. This study aims to explore the possible regulatory mechanism of ferroptosis in ICH. METHODS Hemoglobin (Hb) was used to treat neurons to mimic ICH cell model. The cell viability was assessed by CCK-8 assay. The contents of iron ion, reactive oxygen species (ROS), malondialdehyde (MDA) and glutathione (GSH) were also measured. The expressions of ferroptosis related proteins were determined by qRT-PCR and Western blot. The interaction among circAFF1, GSK-3β and miR-140-5p was verified. In vivo ICH models were established and assessed using mNSS. The morphology and wet/dry ratio of brain were also observed and calculated. RESULTS circAFF1 was highly expressed in ICH cell model. Knockdown of circAFF1 attenuated Hb-induced neuronal ferroptosis, as evidenced by inhibiting cell viability, ROS, MDA and iron ion, and promoting GDH levels, which can be counteracted by miR-140-5p knockdown. circAFF1 can target miR-140-5p, and GSK-3β was a target gene of miR-140-5p. The effect of miR-140-5p on neuronal ferroptosis can be reversed by GSK-3β overexpression. In vivo experiments identified knockdown of circAFF1 suppress ICH injury and inhibits neuronal ferroptosis through regulating miR-140-5p/GSK-3β axis. CONCLUSION circAFF1 knockdown can suppress neuronal ferroptosis in vivo to attenuate ICH injury, which was associated with its targeting with miR-140-5p to up-regulate GSK-3β and to suppress Wnt/β-catenin signal pathway.

Abstract
Microglia are the resident immune cells of the central nervous system (CNS) and play a key role in neurological diseases, including intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Microglia are activated to acquire either pro-inflammatory or anti-inflammatory phenotypes. After the onset of ICH, pro-inflammatory mediators produced by microglia at the early stages serve as a crucial character in neuroinflammation. Conversely, switching the microglial shift to an anti-inflammatory phenotype could alleviate inflammatory response and incite recovery. This review will elucidate the dynamic profiles of microglia phenotypes and their available shift following ICH. This study can facilitate an understanding of the self-regulatory functions of the immune system involving the shift of microglia phenotypes in ICH. Moreover, suggestions for future preclinical and clinical research and potential intervention strategies are discussed.

Molecular, Pathological, Clinical, and Therapeutic Aspects of Perihematomal Edema in Different Stages of Intracerebral Hemorrhage. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2022; 2022:3948921. [PMID: 36164392 PMCID: PMC9509250 DOI: 10.1155/2022/3948921] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/12/2022] [Revised: 08/17/2022] [Accepted: 09/03/2022] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
Acute intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a devastating type of stroke worldwide. Neuronal destruction involved in the brain damage process caused by ICH includes a primary injury formed by the mass effect of the hematoma and a secondary injury induced by the degradation products of a blood clot. Additionally, factors in the coagulation cascade and complement activation process also contribute to secondary brain injury by promoting the disruption of the blood-brain barrier and neuronal cell degeneration by enhancing the inflammatory response, oxidative stress, etc. Although treatment options for direct damage are limited, various strategies have been proposed to treat secondary injury post-ICH. Perihematomal edema (PHE) is a potential surrogate marker for secondary injury and may contribute to poor outcomes after ICH. Therefore, it is essential to investigate the underlying pathological mechanism, evolution, and potential therapeutic strategies to treat PHE. Here, we review the pathophysiology and imaging characteristics of PHE at different stages after acute ICH. As illustrated in preclinical and clinical studies, we discussed the merits and limitations of varying PHE quantification protocols, including absolute PHE volume, relative PHE volume, and extension distance calculated with images and other techniques. Importantly, this review summarizes the factors that affect PHE by focusing on traditional variables, the cerebral venous drainage system, and the brain lymphatic drainage system. Finally, to facilitate translational research, we analyze why the relationship between PHE and the functional outcome of ICH is currently controversial. We also emphasize promising therapeutic approaches that modulate multiple targets to alleviate PHE and promote neurologic recovery after acute ICH.

Abstract
Background Previous meta-analysis had concluded that desferrioxamine mesylate (DFO) could effectively treat intracerebral hematoma (ICH) in animal models. We hope to confirm that DFO could treat ICH patients effectively through the systemic review and meta-analysis of clinical researches. Method Data extraction included hematoma volume (HV), reduction of National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) scores, and relative perihematomal edema (RPHE). The standard mean difference (SMD) and 95% confidence interval (95%CI) were calculated by fixed effects model. I-square (I2) statistic was used to test the heterogeneity. All p values were two-side with a significant level at 0.05. Results Five randomized controlled trials were included in the meta-analysis, which included 239 patients. At 7 days after onset, there was significant difference of RPHE development (− 1.87 (− 2.22, − 1.51) (I2 = 0, p = 0.639)) and significant difference of HV absorption (− 0.71 (− 1.06, 0.36) (I2 = 17.5%, p = 0.271)) between DFO and control groups. There was significant difference of reduction of NHISS scores (0.25 (0.05, 0.46) (I2 = 0, p = 0.992)) between DFO and control groups at 30 days after onset. Conclusion DFO reduced HV and perihematomal edema in ICH patients at 7 days after onset and improve neurological function at 30 days after onset efficiently and safely. DFO might be a new route of improving treatment of ICH.

Abstract
COVID-19 caused by SARS-CoV-2 can cause various systemic diseases such as acute pneumonia with cytokine storm. Constituted of necroptosis, pyroptosis, and ferroptosis, regulated necrosis constitutes the cell death patterns under the low apoptosis condition commonly observed in COVID-19. Regulated necrosis is involved in the release of cytokines like TNF-α, IL-1 β, and IL-6 and cell contents such as alarmins, PAMPs, and DAMPs, leading to more severe inflammation. Uncontrolled regulated necrosis may explain the poor prognosis and cytokine storm observed in COVID-19. In this review, the pathophysiology and mechanism of regulated necrosis with the double-edged sword effect in COVID-19 are thoroughly discussed in detail. Furthermore, this review also focuses on the biomarkers and potential therapeutic targets of the regulated necrosis pathway in COVID-19, providing practical guidance to judge the severity, prognosis, and clinical treatment of COVID-19 and guiding the development of clinical anti-SARS-CoV-2 drugs.

Abstract
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a fatal disease with high mortality and poor prognosis that triggers multiple severe brain injuries associated with an inflammatory cascade response that cannot be treated with any effective medication. Atorvastatin (ATO) suppresses inflammation, alleviates brain trauma, and eliminates subdural hematoma. Dexamethasone (DXM) also has the capacity to inhibit inflammation. Thus, we combined ATO with low-dose DXM to treat ICH mice in vivo to examine whether the combined treatment can inhibit secondary inflammation around the cerebral hemorrhage and decrease overall mortality. Compared to the monotherapy by either ATO or DXM, the combined treatment significantly improves the survivorship of the ICH mice, accelerates their recovery of impaired neurological function, and modulates the circulating cytokines, oxidative products, and apoptosis. Moreover, the benefit of ATO-DXM combination therapy was most pronounced on day 3 after dosing compared to ATO or DXM alone. Thus, early administration of ATO combined with low-dose-DXM promotes better survival of ICH and improves neurological function by reducing neuroinflammation and brain edema in their early phase.

Abstract
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a devastating form of stroke with high rates of morbidity, mortality, and disability. It induces cell death that is responsible for the secondary brain injury (SBI). The underlying mechanism of SBI after ICH is still unclear, and whether it is related to iron overload is worthy to be discussed. Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent non-apoptotic modes of cell death and plays a particularly important role in the occurrence and progression of ICH. Many ICH-induced regulators and signalling pathways of ferroptosis have been reported as promising targets for treating ICH. In this article, we review the definition, characteristics, and inhibition methods of neuronal ferroptosis caused by iron deposition after ICH, and review the biomarkers for ferroptosis.

Abstract
As a neurological disease with high morbidity, disability, and mortality, the pathological mechanism underlying stroke involves complex processes such as neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, apoptosis, autophagy, and excitotoxicity; but the related research on these molecular mechanisms has not been effectively applied in clinical practice. As a form of iron-dependent regulated cell death, ferroptosis was first discovered in the pathological process of cancer, but recent studies have shown that ferroptosis is closely related to the onset and development of stroke. Therefore, a deeper understanding of the relationship between ferroptosis and stroke may lead to more effective treatment strategies. Herein, we reviewed the mechanism(s) underlying the onset of ferroptosis in stroke, the potential role of ferroptosis in stroke, and the crosstalk between ferroptosis and other pathological mechanisms. This will further deepen our understanding of ferroptosis and provide new approaches to the treatment of stroke.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hematoma leads to progressive neurological deficits and poor outcomes after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Early clearance of hematoma is widely recognized as an essential treatment to limit the damage and improve the clinical prognosis. CD163, alias hemoglobin (Hb) scavenger receptor on microglia, plays a pivotal role in hematoma absorption, but CD163 on neurons permits Hb uptake and results in neurotoxicity. In this study, we focus on how to specially promote microglial but not neuronal CD163 mediated-Hb uptake and hematoma absorption. METHODS RNA sequencing was used to explore the potential molecules involved in ICH progression, and hematoma was detected by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Western blot and immunofluorescence were used to evaluate the expression and location of fractalkine (FKN) after ICH. Erythrophagocytosis assay was performed to study the specific mechanism of action of FKN in hematoma clearance. Small interfering RNA (siRNA) transfection was used to explore the effect of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ (PPAR-γ) on hematoma absorption. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to determine the serum FKN concentration in ICH patients. RESULTS FKN was found to be significantly increased around the hematoma in a mouse model after ICH. With its unique receptor CX3CR1 in microglia, FKN significantly decreased the hematoma size and Hb content, and improved neurological deficits in vivo. Further, FKN could enhance erythrophagocytosis of microglia in vitro via the CD163/ hemeoxygenase-1 (HO-1) axis, while AZD8797 (a specific CX3CR1 inhibitor) reversed this effect. Moreover, PPAR-γ was found to mediate the increase in the CD163/HO-1 axis expression and erythrophagocytosis induced by FKN in microglia. Of note, a higher serum FKN level was found to be associated with better hematoma resolution in ICH patients. CONCLUSIONS We systematically identified that FKN may be a potential therapeutic target to improve hematoma absorption and we shed light on ICH treatment.

Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused devastating loss of life and a healthcare crisis worldwide. SARS-CoV-2 is the causative pathogen of COVID-19 and is transmitted mainly through the respiratory tract, where the virus infects host cells by binding to the ACE2 receptor. SARS-CoV-2 infection is associated with acute pneumonia, but neuropsychiatric symptoms and different brain injuries are also present. The possible routes by which SARS-CoV-2 invades the brain are unclear, as are the mechanisms underlying brain injuries with the resultant neuropsychiatric symptoms in patients with COVID-19. Ferroptosis is a unique iron-dependent form of non-apoptotic cell death, characterized by lipid peroxidation with high levels of glutathione consumption. Ferroptosis plays a primary role in various acute and chronic brain diseases, but to date, ferroptosis in COVID-19-related brain injuries has not been explored. This review discusses the mechanisms of ferroptosis and recent evidence suggesting a potential pathogenic role for ferroptosis in COVID-19-related brain injury. Furthermore, the possible routes through which SARS-CoV-2 could invade the brain are also discussed. Discoveries in these areas will open possibilities for treatment strategies to prevent or reduce brain-related complications of COVID-19.

Reduction of lactoferrin aggravates neuronal ferroptosis after intracerebral hemorrhagic stroke in hyperglycemic mice. Redox Biol 2022; 50:102256.

Abstract
Diabetic hyperglycemia aggravates the prognosis of intracerebral hemorrhagic stroke (ICH) in the clinic. In addition to hematoma expansion and increased inflammation, how diabetic hyperglycemia affects the outcomes of ICH is still unclear. We found that streptozotocin-induced diabetic hyperglycemia not only increased neutrophil infiltration, but also changed the gene expression profile of neutrophils, including lactoferrin (Ltf) encoding gene Ltf. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) transcribed Ltf and the lack of neutrophilic Ltf transcription and secretion exacerbated neuronal ferroptosis by accumulating intraneuronal iron. Furthermore, the administration of recombinant Ltf protected against neuronal ferroptosis and improved neurobehavior in hyperglycemic ICH mice, and vice versa. These results indicate that supplementing Ltf or inhibiting neuronal ferroptosis are promising potential strategies to improve the acute outcomes of diabetic ICH in the clinic. Neutrophil infiltration and ICH prognosis are aggravated in hyperglycemic mice. Hyperglycemia impairs PPAR-γ activity and decreases Ltf expression in neutrophils. The lack of neutrophilic Ltf fails to decrease intraneuronal iron and ferroptosis. rLtf eases neuronal ferroptosis and neurologic deficits in hyperglycemic ICH mice.

Abstract
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) refers to hemorrhage caused by non-traumatic vascular rupture in the brain parenchyma, which is characterized by acute onset, severe illness, and high mortality and disability. The influx of blood into the brain tissue after cerebrovascular rupture causes severe brain damage, including primary injury caused by persistent hemorrhage and secondary brain injury (SBI) induced by hematoma. The mechanism of brain injury is complicated and is a significant cause of disability after ICH. Therefore, it is essential to understand the mechanism of brain injury after ICH to develop drugs to prevent and treat ICH. Studies have confirmed that many traditional Chinese medicines (TCM) can reduce brain injury by improving neurotoxicity, inflammation, oxidative stress (OS), blood-brain barrier (BBB), apoptosis, and neurological dysfunction after ICH. Starting from the pathophysiological process of brain injury after ICH, this paper summarizes the mechanisms by which TCM improves cerebral injury after ICH and its comparison with conventional western medicine, so as to provide clues and a reference for the clinical application of TCM in the prevention and treatment of hemorrhagic stroke and further research and development of new drugs.

Abstract
Trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO), an intestinal flora metabolite of choline, may aggravate atherosclerosis by inducing a chronic inflammatory response and thereby promoting the occurrence of cerebrovascular diseases. Knowledge about the influence of TMAO-related inflammatory response on the pathological process of acute stroke is limited. This study was designed to explore the effects of TMAO on neuroinflammation, brain injury severity, and long-term neurologic function in mice with acute intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). We fed mice with either a regular chow diet or a chow diet supplemented with 1.2% choline pre- and post-ICH. In this study, we measured serum levels of TMAO with ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry at 24 h and 72 h post-ICH. The expression level of P38-mitogen-protein kinase (P38-MAPK), myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MyD88), high-mobility group box1 protein (HMGB1), and interleukin-1β (IL-1β) around hematoma was examined by western blotting at 24 h. Microglial and astrocyte activation and neutrophil infiltration were examined at 72 h. The lesion was examined on days 3 and 28. Neurologic deficits were examined for 28 days. A long-term choline diet significantly increased serum levels of TMAO compared with a regular diet at 24 h and 72 h after sham operation or ICH. Choline diet-induced high serum levels of TMAO did not enhance the expression of P38-MAPK, MyD88, HMGB1, or IL-1β at 24 h. However, it did increase the number of activated microglia and astrocytes around the hematoma at 72 h. Contrary to our expectations, it did not aggravate acute or long-term histologic damage or neurologic deficits after ICH. In summary, choline diet-induced high serum levels of TMAO increased the cellular inflammatory response probably by activating microglia and astrocytes. However, it did not aggravate brain injury or worsen long-term neurologic deficits. Although TMAO might be a potential risk factor for cerebrovascular diseases, this exploratory study did not support that TMAO is a promising target for ICH therapy.

Abstract
Iron is one of the most crucial elements in the human body. In recent years, a kind of programmed, non-apoptotic cell death closely related to iron metabolism-called ferroptosis- has aroused much interest among many scientists. Ferroptosis also interacts with other pathways involved in cell death including iron abnormality, the cystine/glutamate antiporter and lipid peroxidation. Together these pathological pathways exert great impacts on intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), a lethal cerebrovascular disease with a high incidence rate and mortality rate. Furthermore, the ferroptosis also affects different brain cells (neurons and neuroglial cells) and different organelles (mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum). Clinical treatments for ferroptosis in ICH have been closely investigated recently. This perspective provides a comprehensive summary of ferroptosis mechanisms after ICH and its interaction with other cell death patterns. Understanding the role of ferroptosis in ICH will open new windows for the future treatments and preventions for ICH and other intracerebral diseases.

Abstract
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a highly fatal type of stroke that leads to various types of neuronal death. Recently, ferroptosis, a form of cell death resulting from iron-dependent lipid peroxide accumulation, was observed in a mouse ICH model. N-hydroxy-N'-(4-n-butyl-2-methylphenyl)-formamidine (HET0016), which inhibits synthesis of the arachidonic acid metabolite 20-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (20-HETE), has shown a protective effect after ICH. However, the underlying mechanisms of the neuroprotective effect need further investigation. We explored whether 20-HETE participates in ICH-induced ferroptosis ex vivo by using hemoglobin-treated organotypic hippocampal slice cultures (OHSCs) and in vivo by using a collagenase-induced ICH mouse model. Ex vivo, we found that the 20-HETE synthesis inhibitor HET0016 and antagonist 20-6,15-HEDGE reduced hemoglobin-induced cell death, iron deposition, and lipid reactive oxygen species levels in OHSCs. Furthermore, 20-HETE inhibition in OHSCs increased the expression of glutathione peroxidase (GPX) 4, an antioxidant enzyme that serves as a main regulator of ferroptosis. In contrast, exposure of OHSCs to the 20-HETE stable mimetic 20-5,14-HEDGE induced cell death that was significantly inhibited by the ferroptosis inhibitor ferrostatin-1. In vivo, HET0016 treatment ameliorated focal deficits, reduced lesion volume, and decreased iron accumulation around the lesion at day 3 and 7 after ICH. In addition, lipid peroxidation was decreased and expression of GPX4 was increased in the HET0016-treated ICH group. The mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway also was inhibited by HET0016 in vivo. These results indicate that 20-HETE contributes to ICH-induced acute brain injury in part by activating ferroptosis pathways, thereby providing an upstream target for inhibiting ferroptosis.

Abstract
Hemorrhagic stroke is a leading cause of death. The causes of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH)-induced brain damage are thought to include lysis of red blood cells, hemin release and iron overload. These mechanisms, however, have not proven very amenable to therapeutic intervention, and so other mechanistic targets are being sought. Here we report that accumulation of endogenously formed zinc protoporphyrin (ZnPP) also critically contributes to ICH-induced brain damage. ICH caused a significant accumulation of ZnPP in brain tissue surrounding hematoma, as evidenced by fluorescence microscopy of ZnPP, and further confirmed by fluorescence spectroscopy and supercritical fluid chromatography-mass spectrometry. ZnPP formation was dependent upon both ICH-induced hypoxia and an increase in free zinc accumulation. Notably, inhibiting ferrochelatase, which catalyzes insertion of zinc into protoporphyrin, greatly decreased ICH-induced endogenous ZnPP generation. Moreover, a significant decrease in brain damage was observed upon ferrochelatase inhibition, suggesting that endogenous ZnPP contributes to the damage in ICH. Our findings reveal a novel mechanism of ICH-induced brain damage through ferrochelatase-mediated formation of ZnPP in ICH tissue. Since ferrochelatase can be readily inhibited by small molecules, such as protein kinase inhibitors, this may provide a promising new and druggable target for ICH therapy.

Abstract
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH)-induced brain injury is a continuous pathological process that involves the deterioration of neurological functions, such as sensory, cognitive or motor functions. Cytotoxic byproducts of red blood cell lysis, especially free iron, appear to be a significant pathophysiologic mechanism leading to ICH-induced injury. Free iron has a crucial role in secondary brain injury after ICH. Chelating iron may attenuate iron-induced neurotoxicity and may be developed as a therapeutic candidate for ICH treatment. In this review, we focused on the potential role of iron toxicity in ICH-induced injury and iron chelation therapy in the management of ICH. It will hopefully advance our understanding of the pathogenesis of ICH and lead to new approaches for treatment.

Abstract
Disruption of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and the subsequent formation of brain edema is the most severe consequence of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), leading to drastic neuroinflammatory responses and neuronal cell death. A better understanding of ICH pathophysiology to develop effective therapy relies on selecting appropriate animal models. The collagenase injection ICH model and the autologous arterial whole blood infusion ICH model have been developed to investigate the pathophysiology of ICH. However, it remains unclear whether the temporal progression and the underlying mechanism of BBB breakdown are similar between these two ICH models. In this study, we aimed to determine the progression and the mechanism of BBB disruption via the two commonly used murine ICH models: the collagenase-induced ICH model (c-ICH) and the double autologous whole blood ICH model (b-ICH). Intrastriatal injection of 0.05 U collagenase or 20 μL autologous blood was used for a comparable hematoma volume in these two ICH models. Then we analyzed BBB permeability using Evan’s blue and IgG extravasation, evaluated tight junction (TJ) damage by transmission electron microscope (TEM) and Western blotting, and assessed matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) activity and aquaporin 4 (AQP4) mRNA expression by Gelatin gel zymography and RT-PCR, respectively. The results showed that the BBB leakage was associated with a decrease in TJ protein expression and an increase in MMP-9 activity and AQP4 expression on day 3 in the c-ICH model compared with that on day 5 in the b-ICH model. Additionally, using TEM, we found that the TJ was markedly damaged on day 3 in the c-ICH model compared with that on day 5 in the b-ICH model. In conclusion, the BBB was disrupted in the two ICH models; compared to the b-ICH model, the c-ICH model presented with a more pronounced disruption of BBB at earlier time points, suggesting that the c-ICH model might be a more suitable model for studying early BBB damage and protection after ICH.

Pyridoxal Isonicotinoyl Hydrazone Improves Neurological Recovery by Attenuating Ferroptosis and Inflammation in Cerebral Hemorrhagic Mice. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2021; 2021:9916328. [PMID: 34541001 PMCID: PMC8445720 DOI: 10.1155/2021/9916328] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/30/2021] [Revised: 08/07/2021] [Accepted: 08/17/2021] [Indexed: 01/08/2023]
Abstract
Ferroptosis and inflammation induced by cerebral hemorrhage result in an excessive inflammatory response and irreversible neuronal injury. Alleviating ferroptosis might be an effective way to prevent neuroinflammatory injury and promote neural functional recovery. Pyridoxal isonicotinoyl hydrazine (PIH), a lipophilic iron-chelating agent, has been reported to reduce excess iron-induced cytotoxicity. However, whether PIH could ameliorate the effects of hemorrhagic stroke is not completely understood. In the present study, the preventive effects of PIH in an intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) mouse model were investigated. Neurological score, rotarod test, and immunofluorescence around the hematoma were assessed to evaluate the effects of PIH on hemorrhagic injury. The involvement of ferroptosis and inflammation was also examined in vitro to explore the underlying mechanism. Results showed that administration of PIH prevented neuronal cell death and reduced lipid peroxidation in Erastin-treated PC-12 cells. In vivo, mice treated with PIH after ICH attenuated neurological deficit scores. Additionally, we found PIH reduced ROS production, iron accumulation, and lipid peroxidation around the hematoma peripheral tissue. Meanwhile, ICH mice treated with PIH showed an upregulation of the key ferroptosis enzyme, glutathione peroxidase 4, and downregulation of cyclooxygenase-2. Moreover, PIH administration inhibited proinflammatory polarization and reduced interleukin-1 beta and tumor necrosis factor alpha in ICH mice. Collectively, these results demonstrated that PIH protects mice against hemorrhage stroke, which was associated with mitigation of inflammation and ferroptosis.

Abstract
AIMS Numerous evidence demonstrated that macrophage mediated inflammation contributed to brain injury following ICH, but the molecular mechanism had not been well studied. V-set immunoglobulin-domain-containing 4 (VSIG4), specifically expresses in resting tissue-resident macrophages, can deliver anti-inflammatory signals into various inflammatory diseases. However, the role of VSIG4 on ICH has not been reported. METHODS In the present study, we investigated the levels of VSIG4 in macrophages following ICH. Furthermore, Macrophage M1/M2 polarization, pro-inflammatory cytokine production, BBB disruption, brain water content and neurological function were examined in ICH mice. In addition, TLR4/NF-κβ downstream signals were also analyzed. RESULTS The results showed that VSIG4 levels of macrophage decreased following ICH, leading to macrophage M1 polarization. Up-regulation of VSIG4 inhibited macrophage M1 polarization, pro-inflammatory cytokine production, BBB disruption, as well as neurological deficits. Up-regulation of VSIG4 attenuated macrophage TLR4 levels following ICH. Co-IP demonstrated that VSIG4 could interact with TLR4 and inhibit its expression. CONCLUSIONS Our data demonstrated that VSIG4 was negatively correlated with TLR4 and involved in the pathogenesis of ICH, which prevented brain injury and attenuated deleterious inflammatory responses following ICH. In addition, the anti-inflammatory effect of VSIG4 was mainly through the blockage of TLR4/NF-κβ signaling.

Scalp Acupuncture Protects Against Neuronal Ferroptosis by Activating The p62-Keap1-Nrf2 Pathway in Rat Models of Intracranial Haemorrhage. J Mol Neurosci 2021; 72:82-96. [PMID: 34405366 PMCID: PMC8755669 DOI: 10.1007/s12031-021-01890-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/17/2021] [Accepted: 07/11/2021] [Indexed: 02/08/2023]
Abstract
Intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) can be a catastrophic event; even if the initial stages of the pathology were well-managed, a number of patients experience varied residual neurological deficits following the insult. Ferroptosis is a recently identified type of cell demise which is tightly linked to the neurological impairment associated with ICH. In the current work, the prophylactic impact of scalp acupuncture (SA) therapy on autologous blood injection murine models of ICH was investigated in order to establish whether SA could mitigate the secondary damage arising following ICH by moderating ferroptosis. The pathophysiological mechanisms associated with this process were also explored. Ludmila Belayev tests were utilised for the characterisation of neurological damage. Haematoxylin–eosin staining was employed in order to determine the cerebral impact of the induced ICH. Malondialdehyde (MDA) and iron titres in peri-haemorrhagic cerebral tissues were appraised using purchased assay kits. Transmission electron microscopy delineated mitochondrial appearances within nerve cell bodies from the area of haemorrhage. Western blotting techniques were utilised to assay the degree of protein expression of NeuN, sequestosome 1 (p62), nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1), glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) and ferritin heavy chain 1 (FTH1). The frequencies of Nrf2, GPX4 and FTH1 positive cells, respectively, were documented with immunohistochemical staining. The results demonstrated that therapy with SA after ICH mitigated MDA and iron sequestration, diminished the appearance of contracted mitochondria with increased outer mitochondrial membrane diameter within the nerve cell bodies, and suppressed neuronal ferroptosis. The pathways responsible for these effects may encompass amplified p62, Nrf2, GPX4 and FTH1 expression, together with decreased Keap1 expression. Application of SA reduced identified neurobehavioural abnormalities after ICH; no disparities were observed between the consequences of SA therapy and deferoxamine delivery. It can be surmised that intervention with SA enhanced recovery after ICH by triggering the antioxidant pathway, p62/Keap1/Nrf2, and causing FTH1 and GPX4 upregulation, factors that participate in diminishing excess iron and thus in mitigating lipid peroxidation insults arising from ferroptosis following ICH.

Abstract
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is the second most common type of stroke and has one of the highest fatality rates of any disease. There are many clinical signs and symptoms after ICH due to brain cell injury and network disruption resulted from the rupture of a tiny artery and activation of inflammatory cells, such as motor dysfunction, sensory impairment, cognitive impairment, and emotional disturbance, etc. Thus, researchers have established many tests to evaluate behavioral changes in rodent ICH models, in order to achieve a better understanding and thus improvements in the prognosis for the clinical treatment of stroke. This review summarizes existing protocols that have been applied to assess neurologic function outcomes in the rodent ICH models such as pain, motor, cognition, and emotion tests. Pain tests include mechanical, hot, and cold pain tests; motor tests include the following 12 types: neurologic deficit scale test, staircase test, rotarod test, cylinder test, grid walk test, forelimb placing test, wire hanging test, modified neurologic severity score, beam walking test, horizontal ladder test, and adhesive removal test; learning and memory tests include Morris water maze, Y-maze, and novel object recognition test; emotion tests include elevated plus maze, sucrose preference test, tail suspension test, open field test, and forced swim test. This review discusses these assessments by examining their rationale, setup, duration, baseline, procedures as well as comparing their pros and cons, thus guiding researchers to select the most appropriate behavioral tests for preclinical ICH research.

Abstract
Spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) accounts for 15% of all stroke cases. ICH is a devastating form of stroke associated with high morbidity, mortality, and disability. Preclinical studies have explored the mechanisms of neuronal death and gray matter damage after ICH. However, few studies have examined the development of white matter injury (WMI) following ICH. Research on WMI indicates that its pathophysiological presentation involves axonal damage, demyelination, and mature oligodendrocyte loss. However, the detailed relationship and mechanism between WMI and ICH remain unclear. Studies of other acute brain insults have indicated that WMI is strongly correlated with cognitive deficits, neurological deficits, and depression. The degree of WMI determines the short- and long-term prognosis of patients with ICH. This review demonstrates the structure and functions of the white matter in the healthy brain and discusses the pathophysiological mechanism of WMI following ICH. Our review reveals that the development of WMI after ICH is complex; therefore, comprehensive treatment is essential. Understanding the relationship between WMI and other brain cells may reveal therapeutic targets for the treatment of ICH.

Abstract
The relationship between cerebral glucose metabolism and glucose transporter expression after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is unclear. Few studies have used positron emission tomography (PET) to explore cerebral glucose metabolism after ICH in rodents. In this study, we produced ICH in mice with an intrastriatal injection of collagenase to investigate whether glucose metabolic changes in 18F-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (FDG)-PET images are associated with expression of glucose transporters (GLUTs) over time. On days 1 and 3 after ICH, the ipsilateral striatum exhibited significant hypometabolism. However, by days 7 and 14, glucose metabolism was significantly higher in the ipsilateral striatum than in the contralateral striatum. The contralateral hemisphere did not show hypermetabolism at any time after ICH. Qualitative immunofluorescence and Western blotting indicated that the expression of GLUT1 in ipsilateral striatum decreased on days 1 and 3 after ICH and gradually returned to baseline by day 21. The 18F-FDG uptake after ICH was associated with expression of GLUT1 but not GLUT3 or GLUT5. Our data suggest that ipsilateral cerebral glucose metabolism decreases in the early stage after ICH and increases progressively in the late stage. Changes in 18F-FDG uptake on PET imaging are associated with the expression of GLUT1 in the ipsilateral striatum.

Abstract
Microglia are the resident immune cells of the central nervous system (CNS). It is well established that microglia are activated and polarized to acquire different inflammatory phenotypes, either pro-inflammatory or anti-inflammatory phenotypes, which act as a critical component in the neuroinflammation following intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Microglia produce pro-inflammatory mediators at the early stages after ICH onset, anti-inflammatory microglia with neuroprotective effects appear to be suppressed. Previous research found that driving microglia towards an anti-inflammatory phenotype could restrict inflammation and engulf cellular debris. The principal objective of this review is to analyze the phenotypes and dynamic profiles of microglia as well as their shift in functional response following ICH. The results may further the understanding of the body's self-regulatory functions involving microglia following ICH. On this basis, suggestions for future clinical development and research are provided.

Abstract
Inhibition of histone deacetylases (HDACs) has been shown to reduce inflammation and white matter damage after various forms of brain injury via modulation of microglia/macrophage polarization. Previously we showed that the HDAC inhibitor scriptaid could attenuate white matter injury (WMI) after ICH. To access whether modulation of microglia/macrophage polarization might underlie this protection, we investigated the modulatory role of HDAC2 in microglia/macrophage polarization in response to WMI induced by intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and in primary microglia and oligodendrocyte co-cultures. HDAC2 activity was inhibited via conditional knockout of the Hdac2 gene in microglia or via administration of scriptaid. Conditional knockout of the Hdac2 gene in microglia and HDAC inhibition with scriptaid both improved neurological functional recovery and reduced WMI after ICH. Additionally, HDAC inhibition shifted microglia/macrophage polarization toward the M2 phenotype and reduced proinflammatory cytokine secretion after ICH in vivo. In vitro, a transwell co-culture model of microglia and oligodendrocytes also demonstrated that the HDAC inhibitor protected oligodendrocytes by modulating microglia polarization and mitigating neuroinflammation. Moreover, we found that scriptaid decreased the expression of pJAK2 and pSTAT1 in cultured microglia when stimulated with hemoglobin. Thus, HDAC inhibition ameliorated ICH-mediated neuroinflammation and WMI by modulating microglia/macrophage polarization.

Abstract
The secondary injury process after traumatic brain injury (TBI) results in motor dysfunction, cognitive and emotional impairment, and poor outcomes. These injury cascades include excitotoxic injury, mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, ion imbalance, inflammation, and increased vascular permeability. Electron microscopy is an irreplaceable tool to understand the complex pathogenesis of TBI as the secondary injury is usually accompanied by a series of pathologic changes at the ultra-micro level of the brain cells. These changes include the ultrastructural changes in different parts of the neurons (cell body, axon, and synapses), glial cells, and blood–brain barrier, etc. In view of the current difficulties in the treatment of TBI, identifying the changes in subcellular structures can help us better understand the complex pathologic cascade reactions after TBI and improve clinical diagnosis and treatment. The purpose of this review is to summarize and discuss the ultrastructural changes related to neurons (e.g., condensed mitochondrial membrane in ferroptosis), glial cells, and blood–brain barrier in the existing reports of TBI, to deepen the in-depth study of TBI pathomechanism, hoping to provide a future research direction of pathogenesis and treatment, with the ultimate aim of improving the prognosis of patients with TBI.

Abstract
There are few effective preventive or therapeutic strategies to mitigate the effects of catastrophic intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) in humans. Heme oxygenase is the rate-limiting enzyme in heme metabolism; heme oxygenase-2 (HO-2) is a constitutively expressed heme oxygenase. We explored the involvement of HO-2 in a collagenase-induced mouse model of ICH in C57BL/6 wild-type and HO-2 knockout mice. We assessed oxidative stress injury, blood-brain barrier permeability, neuronal damage, late-stage angiogenesis, and hematoma clearance using immunofluorescence, Western blot, MRI, and special staining methods. Our results show that HO-2 reduces brain injury volume and brain edema, alleviates cytotoxic injury, affects vascular function in the early stage of ICH, and improves hematoma absorbance and angiogenesis in the late stage of ICH in this model. Thus, we found that HO-2 has a protective effect on brain injury after ICH.

METHODS CX3CR1GFP/GFP, CX3CR1GFP/+ and C57BL/6 male mice were randomly divided into 3 groups. We used a controlled cortical impact (CCI) to establish a TBI model and T2wt MRI to detect the TBI lesion. FA and DTI allowed for quantitative evaluation of the structural integrity of white matter tracts. Several behavior tests were used to investigate nerve function; a computer-based tracing system was used to trace and analyze dendrites and cell bodies of microglia and astrocytes in the peri-lesional brain areas. We also used RT-PCR and western blot to detect the effect of CX3CL1/CX3CR1 axis on CD36/15LO/NR4A1 signal. RESULTS The fractional anisotropy (FA) at the corpus callosum area of brain was decreased at 3 days post TBI, the average lesion volume CX3CR1GFP/GFP group was increased, and the neurologic deficit scores of mice of Cx3Cr1GFP/+ and wild-type groups were significantly increased compared to Cx3Cr1GFP/GFP group mice. In the Corner turn test, TBI induced impairments in forelimb function that were more severe than Cx3Cr11GFP/+ and wild-type TBI mice. We operated the Y-maze at 3 days post-TBI and the NOR test at 28 days after TBI. There was a significant TBI effect induced in decreased percentage entries into the novel arm in Cx3Cr1GFP/+ and wild-type TBI mice, compared with Cx3Cr1GFP/GFP; Cx3Cr1GFP/+. Wild-type mice showed decreased exploration time in new objects compared with Cx3Cr1GFP/GFP. Those two behavior tests demonstrated that Cx3Cr1 knock-out increased the damage caused by TBI to memory. In the tail suspension and force swimming tests, there was no significant difference between those three groups. CD36 increased in Cx3Cr1GFP/GFP compared with the other three groups at 3 days after TBI. TBI inhibited the expression of NR4A1 at 3 d after damage. Cx3Cr1 deficiency can induce high expression of 15LO, this was unaffected by TBI. CONCLUSION CX3CR1 deletion can enhance white matter injury. It increased the expression of CD36 and 15LO and increased expression of NR4A1. The lack of CX3CR1 can affect the recovery of nerve function.

Abstract
Hematoma size after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) significantly affects patient outcome. However, our knowledge of endogenous mechanisms that underlie hematoma clearance and the potential role of the anti-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-10 (IL-10) is limited. Using organotypic hippocampal slice cultures and a collagenase-induced ICH mouse model, we investigated the role of microglial IL-10 in phagocytosis ex vivo and hematoma clearance in vivo. In slice culture, exposure to hemoglobin induced IL-10 expression in microglia and enhanced phagocytosis that depended on IL-10-regulated expression of CD36. Following ICH, IL-10-deficient mice had more severe neuroinflammation, brain edema, iron deposition, and neurologic deficits associated with delayed hematoma clearance. Intranasal administration of recombinant IL-10 accelerated hematoma clearance and improved neurologic function. Additionally, IL-10-deficient mice had weakened in vivo phagocytic ability owing to decreased expression of microglial CD36. Moreover, loss of IL-10 significantly increased monocyte-derived macrophage infiltration and enhanced brain inflammation in vivo. These results indicate that IL-10 regulates microglial phagocytosis and monocyte-derived macrophage infiltration after ICH and that CD36 is a key phagocytosis effector regulated by IL-10. Leveraging the innate immune response to ICH by augmenting IL-10 signaling may provide a useful strategy for accelerating hematoma clearance and improving neurologic outcome in clinical translation studies.
