Abstract
BACKGROUND Fatigue is prevalent in subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) survivors. Biological mechanisms underlying fatigue post-SAH are not clear. Inflammation may contribute to the development of fatigue. This study aimed to examine the associations between inflammatory markers and fatigue during the first 6 months post-SAH. Specific biomarkers examined included both early and concurrent expression of Toll-Like Receptor 4 (TLR4) messenger RNA (mRNA) and plasma concentrations of pro-inflammatory cytokines, Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha (TNF-α), Interleukin (IL)1β, and IL6. METHODS We conducted a 6-month longitudinal study with a convenience sample of 43 SAH survivors. We collected blood samples on days 2, 3, and 7 and 2, 3, and 6 months post-SAH to assess biomarkers. Fatigue was assessed by the PROMIS Fatigue Scale at 2, 3, and 6 months. Linear mixed models were used to test the associations between early (days 2, 3, and 7) and concurrent (2, 3, and 6 months) TLR4 mRNA expression (TagMan gene expression assays) and TNF-α, IL1β, and IL6 plasma concentrations (multiplex assays) and concurrent fatigue. RESULTS 28% of SAH survivors experienced fatigue during the first 6 months post-SAH. Fatigue levels in SAH survivors were higher than those of the U.S. population and consistent during the 6 months. Experience of fatigue during the 6 months post-SAH was associated with higher IL1β plasma concentrations on day 7 and IL1β, IL6, and TNF-α plasma concentrations during the 6 months post-SAH. CONCLUSION Inflammation appears to underlie the development of fatigue in SAH survivors.

Abstract
Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a stroke subtype with high mortality, and its severity is closely related to the short-term prognosis of SAH patients. S100 calcium-binding protein A9 (S100A9) has been shown to be associated with some neurological diseases. In this study, the concentration of S100A9 in clinical cerebrospinal fluid samples was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and the relationship between S100A9 and the prognosis of patients was explored. In addition, WT mice and S100A9 knockout mice were used to establish an in vivo SAH model. Neurological scores, brain water content, and histopathological staining were performed after a specified time. A co-culture model of BV2 and HT22 cells was treated with heme chloride to establish an in vitro SAH model. Our study confirmed that the expression of S100A9 protein in the CSF of SAH patients is increased, and it is related to the short-term prognosis of SAH patients. S100A9 protein is highly expressed in microglia in the central nervous system. S100A9 gene knockout significantly improved neurological function scores and reduced neuronal apoptosis. S100A9 protein can activate TLR4 receptor, promote nuclear transcription of NF-κB, increase the activation of inflammatory body, and ultimately aggravate nerve injury.

Abstract
Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) carries high mortality and disability rates, which are substantially driven by complications. Early brain injury and vasospasm can happen after SAH and are crucial events to prevent and treat to improve prognosis. In recent decades, immunological mechanisms have been implicated in SAH complications, with both innate and adaptive immunity involved in mechanisms of damage after SAH. The purpose of this review is to summarize the immunological profile of vasospasm, highlighting the potential implementation of biomarkers for its prediction and management. Overall, the kinetics of central nervous system (CNS) immune invasion and soluble factors' production critically differs between patients developing vasospasm compared to those not experiencing this complication. In particular, in people developing vasospasm, a neutrophil increase develops in the first minutes to days and pairs with a mild depletion of CD45+ lymphocytes. Cytokine production is boosted early on after SAH, and a steep increase in interleukin-6, metalloproteinase-9 and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) anticipates the development of vasospasm after SAH. We also highlight the role of microglia and the potential influence of genetic polymorphism in the development of vasospasm and SAH-related complications.

Abstract
Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is one of the common clinical neurological emergencies. Its incidence accounts for about 5-9% of cerebral stroke patients. Even surviving patients often suffer from severe adverse prognoses such as hemiplegia, aphasia, cognitive dysfunction and even death. Inflammatory response plays an important role during early nerve injury in SAH. Toll-like receptors (TLRs), pattern recognition receptors, are important components of the body's innate immune system, and they are usually activated by damage-associated molecular pattern molecules. Studies have shown that with TLR 4 as an essential member of the TLRs family, the inflammatory transduction pathway mediated by it plays a vital role in brain injury after SAH. After SAH occurrence, large amounts of blood enter the subarachnoid space. This can produce massive damage-associated molecular pattern molecules that bind to TLR4, which activates inflammatory response and causes early brain injury, thus resulting in serious adverse prognoses. In this paper, the process in research on TLR4-mediated inflammatory response mechanism in brain injury after SAH was reviewed to provide a new thought for clinical treatment.

Abstract
Subarachnoid hemorrhage is associated with severe neurological deficits for survivors. Among survivors of the initial bleeding, secondary brain injury leads to additional brain damage. Apart from cerebral vasospasm, secondary brain injury mainly results from cerebral inflammation taking place in the brain parenchyma after bleeding. The brain’s innate immune system is activated, which leads to disturbances in brain homeostasis, cleavage of inflammatory cytokines and, subsequently, neuronal cell death. The toll-like receptor (TLR)4 signaling pathway has been found to play an essential role in the pathophysiology of acute brain injuries such as subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). TLR4 is expressed on the cell surface of microglia, which are key players in the cellular immune responses of the brain. The participants in the signaling pathway, such as TLR4-pathway-like ligands, the receptor itself, and inflammatory cytokines, can act as biomarkers, serving as clues regarding the inflammatory status after SAH. Moreover, protein complexes such as the NLRP3 inflammasome or receptors such as TREM1 frame the TLR4 pathway and are indicative of inflammation. In this review, we focus on the activity of the TLR4 pathway and its contributors, which can act as biomarkers of neuroinflammation or even offer potential new treatment targets for secondary neuronal cell death after SAH.

Abstract
The Earth's 24-h planetary rotation, with predictable light and heat cycles, has driven profound evolutionary adaptation, with prominent impacts on physiological mechanisms important for surviving critical illness. Pathways of interest include inflammation, mitochondrial function, energy metabolism, hypoxic signaling, apoptosis, and defenses against reactive oxygen species. Regulation of these by the cellular circadian clock (BMAL-1 and its network) has an important influence on pulmonary inflammation; ventilator-associated lung injury; septic shock; brain injury, including vasospasm; and overall mortality in both animals and humans. Whether it is cytokines, the inflammasome, or mitochondrial biogenesis, circadian medicine represents exciting opportunities for translational therapy in intensive care, which is currently lacking. Circadian medicine also represents a link to metabolic determinants of outcome, such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease. More than ever, we are appreciating the problem of circadian desynchrony in intensive care. This review explores the rationale and evidence for the importance of the circadian clock in surviving critical illness.

Abstract
SUMMARY In this review, we discuss the utility of quantitative EEG parameters for the detection of delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage in the context of the complex pathophysiology of DCI and the limitations of current diagnostic methods. Because of the multifactorial pathophysiology of DCI, methodologies solely assessing blood vessel narrowing (vasospasm) are insufficient to detect all DCI. Quantitative EEG has facilitated the exploration of EEG as a diagnostic modality of DCI. Multiple quantitative EEG parameters such as alpha power, relative alpha variability, and alpha/delta ratio show reliable detection of DCI in multiple studies. Recent studies on epileptiform abnormalities suggest that their potential for the detection of DCI. Quantitative EEG is a promising, continuous, noninvasive, monitoring modality of DCI implementable in daily practice. Future work should validate these parameters in larger populations, facilitated by the development of automated detection algorithms and multimodal data integration.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the molecular mechanism under the pathophysiology of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) and identify the potential biomarkers for predicting the risk of SAH. Differentially expressed mRNAs (DEGs), microRNAs, and lncRNAs were screened. Protein-protein interaction (PPI), drug-gene, and competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) networks were constructed to determine candidate RNAs. The optimized RNAs signature was established using least absolute shrinkage and selection operator and recursive feature elimination algorithms. A total of 124 SAH-related DEGs were identified, and were enriched in inflammatory response, TNF signaling pathway, and others. PPI network revealed 118 hub genes such as TNF, MMP9, and TLR4. Drug-gene network revealed that chrysin targeted more genes, such as TNF and MMP9. JMJD1C-AS-hsa-miR-204-HDAC4/SIRT1 and LINC01144-hsa-miR-128-ADRB2/TGFBR3 regulatory axes were found from ceRNA network. From these networks, 125 candidate RNAs were obtained. Of which, an optimal 38 RNAs signatures (2 lncRNAs, 1 miRNA, and 35 genes) were identified to construct a Support Vector Machine classifier. The predictive value of 38 biomarkers had an AUC of 0.990. Similar predictive performance was found in external validation dataset (AUC of 0.845). Our findings provided the potential for 38 RNAs to serve as biomarkers for predicting the risk of SAH. However, their application values should be further validated in clinical.

Abstract
Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is one of the major health issues known to society and has a higher mortality rate. The clinical factors with computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance image (MRI), and electroencephalography (EEG) data were used to evaluate the performance of the developed method. In this paper, various methods such as statistical analysis, logistic regression, machine learning, and deep learning methods were used in the prediction and detection of SAH which are reviewed. The advantages and limitations of SAH prediction and risk assessment methods are also being reviewed. Most of the existing methods were evaluated on the collected dataset for the SAH prediction. In some researches, deep learning methods were applied, which resulted in higher performance in the prediction process. EEG data were applied in the existing methods for the prediction process, and these methods demonstrated higher performance. However, the existing methods have the limitations of overfitting problems, imbalance data problems, and lower efficiency in feature analysis. The artificial neural network (ANN) and support vector machine (SVM) methods have been applied for the prediction process, and considerably higher performance is achieved by using this method.

Abstract
Hemolysis is a physiological condition in which red blood cells (RBCs) lyse, releasing their contents into the extracellular environment. Hemolysis can be a manifestation of several diseases and conditions, such as sickle cell disease, hemorrhagic stroke, and trauma. Heme and hemoglobin are among the unique contents of RBCs that are released into the environment. Although these contents can cause oxidative stress, especially when oxidized in the extracellular environment, they can also initiate a proinflammatory response because they bind to receptors such as the Toll-like receptor (TLR) family. This review seeks to clarify the mechanism by which TLRs initiate a proinflammatory response to heme, hemoglobin, and their oxidized derivatives, as well as the possibility of using soluble TLRs (sTLRs) as therapeutic agents. Furthermore, this review explores the possibility of using sTLRs in hemorrhagic disorders in which mitigating inflammation is essential for clinical outcomes, including hemorrhagic stroke and its subtypes, intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), and subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH).

Abstract
Emerging evidence suggests that the bactericidal/permeability-increasing protein (BPI) is involved in the process of cognitive impairment in diabetes. However, its underlying mechanism remains elusive. In this study, we found that BPI affects cognitive impairment due to diabetes through the lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-lipopolysacharide-binding protein (LBP)-toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) signaling pathway. We examined the expression of BPI, LPS, LBP, CD14, and TLR4 in established mouse models of diabetes induced by high-fat diet (HFD) in combination with streptozotocin (STZ). Diabetic mice were then injected with adeno-associated-virus carrying BPI overexpression vectors and LPS. Fasting blood glucose, plasma insulin, and serum levels of inflammatory factors were examined. Then, glucose tolerance and, insulin resistance tests were used to measure systemic insulin sensitivity. Next, hippocampal tissue injury and cell apoptosis were examined by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP-biotin nick end labeling (TUNEL) staining. Diabetic mice displayed increased LPS expression and activation of the LPS-CD14-TLR4 signaling pathway. HFD mice following LPS treatment showed significantly increased serum levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin (IL)-1β, and IL-6, and expressions of Bcl-2-associated X protein (Bax) and Aβ but decreased expression of Bcl-2 in hippocampal tissues, as well as enhanced fasting blood glucose, plasma insulin, glucose tolerance, insulin tolerance, cell apoptosis, aggravated hippocampal tissue injury and, ultimately, cognitive impairment. However, overexpression of BPI was able to rescue the aforementioned phenotypes driven by LPS treatment. Taken together, BPI could potentially provide relief from cognitive impairment in diabetic mice by disrupting the LPS-LBP-TLR4 signaling pathway, underscoring a possible alternative therapeutic strategy against the cognitive impairment associated with diabetes.

Abstract
Hemorrhagic stroke (HS) is a major cause of death and disability worldwide, despite being less common, it presents more aggressively and leads to more severe sequelae than ischemic stroke. There are two types of HS: Intracerebral Hemorrhage (ICH) and Subarachnoid Hemorrhage (SAH), differing not only in the site of bleeding, but also in the mechanisms responsible for acute and subacute symptoms. This is a systematic review of databases in search of works of the last five years relating to the comprehension of both kinds of HS. Sixty two articles composed the direct findings of the recent literature and were further characterized to construct the pathophysiology in the order of events. The road to the understanding of the spontaneous HS pathophysiology is far from complete. Our findings show specific and individual results relating to the natural history of the disease of ICH and SAH, presenting common and different risk factors, distinct and similar clinical manifestations at onset or later days to weeks, and possible complications for both.

Abstract
Background Microglia-driven cerebral spreading inflammation is a key contributor to secondary brain injury after SAH. Genetic depletion or deactivation of microglia has been shown to ameliorate neuronal cell death. Therefore, clinically feasible anti-inflammatory approaches counteracting microglia accumulation or activation are interesting targets for SAH treatment. Here, we tested two different methods of interference with microglia-driven cerebral inflammation in a murine SAH model: (i) inflammatory preconditioning and (ii) pharmacological deactivation. Methods 7T-MRI-controlled SAH was induced by endovascular perforation in four groups of C57Bl/6 mice: (i) Sham-operation, (ii) SAH naïve, (iii) SAH followed by inflammatory preconditioning (LPS intraperitoneally), and (iv) SAH followed by pharmacological microglia deactivation (colony-stimulating factor-1 receptor-antagonist PLX3397 intraperitoneally). Microglia accumulation and neuronal cell death (immuno-fluorescence), as well as activation status (RT-PCR for inflammation-associated molecules from isolated microglia) were recorded at day 4 and 14. Toll-like receptor4 (TLR4) status was analyzed using FACS. Results Following SAH, significant cerebral spreading inflammation occurred. Microglia accumulation and pro-inflammatory gene expression were accompanied by neuronal cell death with a maximum on day 14 after SAH. Inflammatory preconditioning as well as PLX3397-treatment resulted in significantly reduced microglia accumulation and activation as well as neuronal cell death. TLR4 surface expression in preconditioned animals was diminished as a sign for receptor activation and internalization. Conclusions Microglia-driven cerebral spreading inflammation following SAH contributes to secondary brain injury. Two microglia-focused treatment strategies, (i) inflammatory preconditioning with LPS and (ii) pharmacological deactivation with PLX3397, led to significant reduction of neuronal cell death. Increased internalization of inflammation-driving TLR4 after preconditioning leaves less receptor molecules on the cell surface, providing a probable explanation for significantly reduced microglia activation. Our findings support microglia-focused treatment strategies to overcome secondary brain injury after SAH. Delayed inflammation onset provides a valuable clinical window of opportunity.

Abstract
The correlation of neuroinflammation with the development of cerebral vasospasm following subarachnoid hemorrhage has been well documented in the literature; both clinical and preclinical. The exact mechanisms by which this process occurs, however, are poorly elucidated. Recent evidence indicates that interleukin-6 is not only an important prognostic biomarker for subarachnoid hemorrhage and subsequent vasospasm development but also an integral component in the progression of injury following initial insult. In this review, we briefly highlight other pathways under investigation and focus heavily on what has been discovered regarding the role of interleukin 6 and cerebral vasospasm following subarachnoid hemorrhage. A proposed mechanistic pathway is highlighted in written and graphical format. A discussion regarding the human correlative findings and initial pre-clinical mechanistic studies is addressed. Finally, in the future investigation section, innovative developments and a clear description of areas warranting further scientific inquiry are emphasized. This review will catalyze continued discovery in this area of emerging significance and aid in the quest for effective vasospasm treatment where limited clinical therapeutics currently exist.

Abstract
Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) is a prevalent condition affecting a large portion of the population, many of them still in productive ages. Memory impairment is a common factor amongst those patients. Memory exerts a pivotal role in productivity. That is why it is important to understand how it can be affected in post-aSAH patients. There are certain areas most affected in cases of memory disturbances, as well as its functional connections with crucial cerebral regions. Active research on functional magnetic resonance and diffusion tension imaging is used to identify compromised areas within the brain. There are suggested factors regarding poor performance, such as cerebrospinal fluid drainage and new infarction areas, which should be addressed properly to benefit these patients and simultaneously help them return to a productive and functional life.

Abstract
Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), mostly caused by aneurysm rupture, is a pathological condition associated with oxidative stress and neuroinflammation. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are a family of key regulators of neuroinflammation, and RNF216 is an E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase that regulates TLRs via ubiquitination and proteolytic degradation. However, the role of RNF216 in SAH has not been determined. In this study, we investigated the biological function of RNF216 in experimental SAH models both in vitro and in vivo. The expression of RNF216 was found to be upregulated in cortical neurons after oxyhemoglobin (OxyHb) treatment, and increased RNF216 expression was also observed in brain tissues in the single-hemorrhage model of SAH. Downregulation of RNF216 expression by short interfering RNA (siRNA) transfection significantly reduced cytotoxicity and apoptosis after OxyHb exposure. The results of western blot showed that the RNF216-mediated neuronal injury in vitro was associated with the regulation of the Arc-AMPAR pathway, which was related to intracellular Ca2+ dysfunction, as evidenced by Ca2+ imaging. In addition, knockdown of RNF216 in vivo using intraventricular injection of siRNA was found to attenuate brain injury and neuroinflammation via the Arc-AMPAR pathway after SAH in the animal model. In summary, we demonstrated that silence of RNF216 expression protects against neuronal injury and neurological dysfunction in experimental SAH models. These data support for the first time that RNF216 may represent a novel candidate for therapies against SAH.

Abstract
Background and Purpose- We evaluated the association between 2 types of predictors of delayed cerebral ischemia after nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage, including biomarkers of the innate immune response and neurophysiologic changes on continuous electroencephalography. Methods- We studied subarachnoid hemorrhage patients that had at least 72 hours of continuous electroencephalography and blood samples collected within the first 5 days of symptom onset. We measured inflammatory biomarkers previously associated with delayed cerebral ischemia and functional outcome, including soluble ST2 (sST2), IL-6 (interleukin-6), and CRP (C-reactive protein). Serial plasma samples and cerebrospinal fluid sST2 levels were available in a subgroup of patients. Neurophysiologic changes were categorized into new or worsening epileptiform abnormalities (EAs) or new background deterioration. The association of biomarkers with neurophysiologic changes were evaluated using the Wilcoxon rank-sum test. Plasma and cerebrospinal fluid sST2 were further examined longitudinally using repeated measures mixed-effects models. Results- Forty-six patients met inclusion criteria. Seventeen (37%) patients developed new or worsening EAs, 21 (46%) developed new background deterioration, and 8 (17%) developed neither. Early (day, 0-5) plasma sST2 levels were higher among patients with new or worsening EAs (median 115 ng/mL [interquartile range, 73.8-197]) versus those without (74.7 ng/mL [interquartile range, 44.8-102]; P=0.024). Plasma sST2 levels were similar between patients with or without new background deterioration. Repeated measures mixed-effects modeling that adjusted for admission risk factors showed that the association with new or worsening EAs remained independent for both plasma sST2 (β=0.41 [95% CI, 0.09-0.73]; P=0.01) and cerebrospinal fluid sST2 (β=0.97 [95% CI, 0.14-1.8]; P=0.021). IL-6 and CRP were not associated with new background deterioration or with new or worsening EAs. Conclusions- In patients admitted with subarachnoid hemorrhage, sST2 level was associated with new or worsening EAs but not new background deterioration. This association may identify a link between a specific innate immune response pathway and continuous electroencephalography abnormalities in the pathogenesis of secondary brain injury after subarachnoid hemorrhage.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Development of clinical biomarkers to guide therapy is an important unmet need in aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). A wide spectrum of plausible biomarkers has been reported for SAH, but none have been validated due to significant variabilities in study design, methodology, laboratory techniques, and outcome endpoints. METHODS A systematic review of SAH biomarkers was performed per the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. The panel's recommendations focused on harmonization of (1) target cellular and molecular biomarkers for future investigation in SAH, (2) standardization of best-practice procedures in biospecimen and biomarker studies, and (3) experimental method reporting requirements to facilitate meta-analyses and future validation of putative biomarkers. RESULTS No cellular or molecular biomarker has been validated for inclusion as "core" recommendation. Fifty-four studies met inclusion criteria and generated 33 supplemental and emerging biomarker targets. Core recommendations include best-practice protocols for biospecimen collection and handling as well as standardized reporting guidelines to capture the heterogeneity and variabilities in experimental methodologies and biomarker analyses platforms. CONCLUSION Significant variabilities in study design, methodology, laboratory techniques, and outcome endpoints exist in SAH biomarker studies and present significant barriers toward validation and translation of putative biomarkers to clinical use. Adaptation of common data elements, recommended biospecimen protocols, and reporting guidelines will reduce heterogeneity and facilitate future meta-analyses and development of validated clinical biomarkers in SAH.

Abstract
Growing evidences suggest that stroke is a systemic disease affecting many organ systems beyond the brain. Stroke-related systemic inflammatory response and immune dysregulations may play an important role in brain injury, recovery, and stroke outcome. The two main phenomena in stroke-related peripheral immune dysregulations are systemic inflammation and post-stroke immunosuppression. There is emerging evidence suggesting that the spleen contracts following ischemic stroke, activates peripheral immune response and this may further potentiate brain injury. Whether similar brain-immune crosstalk occurs in hemorrhagic strokes such as intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is not established. In this review, we systematically examined animal and human evidence to date on peripheral immune responses associated with hemorrhagic strokes. Specifically, we reviewed the impact of clinical systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS), inflammation- and immune-associated biomarkers, the brain-spleen interaction, and cellular mediators of peripheral immune responses to ICH and SAH including regulatory T cells (Tregs). While there is growing data suggesting that peripheral immune dysregulation following hemorrhagic strokes may be important in brain injury pathogenesis and outcome, details of this brain-immune system cross-talk remain insufficiently understood. This is an important unmet scientific need that may lead to novel therapeutic strategies in this highly morbid condition.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) is common after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) and represents a significant cause of poor functional outcome. DCI was mainly thought to be caused by cerebral vasospasm; however, recent clinical trials have been unable to confirm this hypothesis. Studies in humans and animal models have since supported the notion of a multifactorial pathophysiology of DCI. This review summarizes some of the main mechanisms under investigation including cerebral vascular dysregulation, microthrombosis, cortical spreading depolarizations, and neuroinflammation. RECENT FINDINGS Recent guidelines have differentiated between DCI and angiographic vasospasm and have highlighted roles of the microvasculature, coagulation and fibrinolytic systems, cortical spreading depressions, and the contribution of the immune system to DCI. Many therapeutic interventions are underway in both preclinical and clinical studies to target these novel mechanisms as well as studies connecting these mechanisms to one another. Clinical trials to date have been largely unsuccessful at preventing or treating DCI after SAH. The only successful pharmacologic intervention is the calcium channel antagonist, nimodipine. Recent studies have provided evidence that cerebral vasospasm is not the sole contributor to DCI and that additional mechanisms may play equal if not more important roles.

Abstract
Background Early brain injury (EBI) is considered a major contributor to the high morbidity and mortality associated with subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH). Both of sterile inflammation and apoptosis are considered the important causes of EBI. Recently, it was confirmed that thioredoxin-interacting protein (TXNIP) not only participates in inflammatory amplification but also stimulates the apoptosis signalling cascade pathway. However, whether the effects of TXNIP influence the pathogenesis of SAH remains unclear. Here, we hypothesize that TXNIP activity induced by endoplasmic reticulum stress (ER stress) may contribute to the pathogenesis of EBI through pro-inflammatory and pro-apoptotic mechanisms. Methods A total of 299 male Sprague–Dawley rats were used to create SAH models. Resveratrol (RES, 60 mg/kg) and two TXNIP small interfering RNA (siRNA) were used to inhibit TXNIP expression. The specific inhibitors of ER stress sensors were used to disrupt the link between TXNIP and ER stress. SAH grade, neurological deficits, brain water content and blood–brain barrier (BBB) permeability were evaluated simultaneously as prognostic indicators. Fluorescent double-labelling was employed to detect the location of TXNIP in cerebral cells. Western blot and TUNEL were performed to study the mechanisms of TXNIP and EBI. Results We found that TXNIP expression significantly increased after SAH, peaking at 48 h (0.48 ± 0.04, up to 3.2-fold) and decreasing at 72 h after surgery. This process was accompanied by the generation of inflammation-associated factors. TXNIP was expressed in the cytoplasm of neurons and was widely co-localized with TUNEL-positive cells in both the hippocampus and the cortex of SAH rats. We discovered for the first time that TXNIP was co-localized in neural immunocytes (microglia and astrocytes). After administration of RES, TXNIP siRNA and ER stress inhibitors, TXNIP expression was significantly reduced and the crosstalk between TXNIP and ER stress was disrupted; this was accompanied by a reduction in inflammatory and apoptotic factors, as well as attenuation of the prognostic indices. Conclusions These results may represent the critical evidence to support the pro-inflammatory and pro-apoptotic effects of TXNIP after SAH. Our data suggest that TXNIP participates in EBI after SAH by mediating inflammation and apoptosis; these pathways may represent a potential therapeutic strategy for SAH treatment.

Abstract
Object Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) is a common cause of death or long-term disability. Despite advances in neurocritical care, there is still only a very limited ability to monitor the development of secondary brain injury or to predict neurological outcome after aSAH. Soluble urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR) has shown potential as a prognostic and as an inflammatory biomarker in a wide range of critical illnesses since it displays an association with overall immune system activation. This is the first time that suPAR has been evaluated as a prognostic biomarker in aSAH. Methods In this prospective population-based study, plasma suPAR levels were measured in aSAH patients (n = 47) for up to 5 days. suPAR was measured at 0, 12, and 24 h after patient admission to the intensive care unit (ICU) and daily thereafter until he/she was transferred from the ICU. The patients’ neurological outcome was evaluated with the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) at 6 months after aSAH. Results suPAR levels (n = 47) during the first 24 h after aSAH were comparable in groups with a favorable (mRS 0–2) or an unfavorable (mRS 3–6) outcome. suPAR levels during the first 24 h were not associated with the findings in the primary brain CT, with acute hydrocephalus, or with antimicrobial medication use during 5-days’ follow-up. suPAR levels were associated with generally accepted inflammatory biomarkers (C-reactive protein, leukocyte count). Conclusion Plasma suPAR level was not associated with either neurological outcome or selected clinical conditions. While suPAR is a promising biomarker for prognostication in several conditions requiring intensive care, it did not reveal any value as a prognostic biomarker after aSAH.

Abstract
High-mobility group box 1 protein (HMGB1) has been implicated in inflammatory responses, and is also associated with cerebral vasospasm after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). However, there are no direct evident links between HMGB1 and cerebral vasospasm. We therefore investigated the effects of HMGB1 on pial arteriole reactivity following SAH in rats. We initially found that SAH induced a significant decrease in pial arteriole dilating responses to sciatic nerve stimulation (SNS), hypercapnia (CO2), and the topical suffusion of acetylcholine (ACh), adenosine (ADO), and s-nitroso-N-acetylpenicillamine (SNAP) over a 7-day period after SAH. The percent change of arteriolar diameter was decreased to the lowest point at 48 h after SAH, in response to dilating stimuli (i.e., it decreased from 41.0 ± 19.0% in the sham group to 11.00 ± 0.70% after SNS) (n = 5, p < 0.01). HMGB1 infusion in the lateral ventricle in normal rats for 48 h did not change the pial arteriole dilating response. In addition, inhibitors of HMGB1-receptor for advanced glycation end-product or HMGB1-toll-like receptor 2/4 interaction, or the HMBG1 antagonist did not improve pial arteriole reactivity 48 h after SAH. These findings suggest that HMGB1 may not be a major player in cerebral vascular dilating dysfunction after SAH.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Inflammatory responses are correlated with secondary brain injury after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). Galectin-3 (Gal-3) is a novel biomarker reflecting inflammation status, and its elevated circulating levels are associated with poor prognosis of some inflammatory diseases. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between Gal-3 plasma levels and prognosis in a group of aSAH patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS We assessed plasma Gal-3 levels in 120 patients and 120 healthy individuals. 6-month clinical outcomes included mortality and unfavorable outcome (Glasgow Outcome Scale score of 1-3). Associations of plasma Gal-3 levels with clinical outcomes were investigated using multivariate analysis. RESULTS Patients showed significantly higher Gal-3 levels as compared to controls. Circulating Gal-3 was significantly and independently associated with 6-month clinical outcomes in the logistic regression analysis. Moreover, we observed a significant correlation between circulating Gal-3 and World Federation of Neurological Surgeons scores and modified Fisher scores. Furthermore, Gal-3 possessed high area under receiver operating characteristic curve for prognostic assessment. CONCLUSION Our findings indicate the associations between Gal-3 levels and the severity and poor prognosis following aSAH. This suggests the possible role of Gal-3 in the prognostic prediction after aSAH.
