In subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), occurrence of cerebral vasospasm (CVS) mediated by endothelin (ET)-1 might be a result of a compartmental inflammatory response with interleukin (IL)-6 release. We aim to investigate the relationship between ET-1 and IL-6 in association of CVS.
A total of 24 New Zealand white rabbits where randomly allocated into 3 groups: SAH (N.=10), IL-6 (N.=10), and sham (N.=4). SAH was induced by a closed cranium extracranial-intracranial shunt model. In the IL-6 group, IL-6 was injected into the cisterna magna. CVS of the basilar artery was assessed by digital subtraction angiography. IL-6 and ET-1 concentrations were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Neuronal damage was assessed by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling.
A significant increase between baseline (day 0) and follow-up (day 3) was found in CSF IL-6 levels of animals in the SAH and IL-6 group. There was a statistically significant correlation between IL-6 and ET-1 levels in the CSF (Pearson's r=0.454, P=0.003). CVS at day 3 was more pronounced in the SAH than in the IL-6 group: 26.0 ±7.2 % and 16.7 ±5.0 % respectively. TUNEL positive apoptotic neurons in the hippocampal formation were present in the SAH group and in a lesser degree in the IL-6 group.
The results indicate that IL-6 triggered CVS after SAH is ET-1 dependent. IL-6 may be a target for new therapeutic approaches.
在蛛网膜下腔出血(SAH)中,由内皮素(ET)-1介导的脑血管痉挛(CVS)的发生可能是伴有白细胞介素(IL)-6释放的局部炎症反应的结果。我们旨在研究ET-1与IL-6在CVS关联中的关系。
将总共24只新西兰白兔随机分为3组:SAH组(n = 10)、IL-6组(n = 10)和假手术组(n = 4)。通过闭合颅骨的颅外-颅内分流模型诱导SAH。在IL-6组中,将IL-6注入枕大池。通过数字减影血管造影评估基底动脉的CVS。使用酶联免疫吸附测定法测量IL-6和ET-1浓度。通过末端脱氧核苷酸转移酶dUTP缺口末端标记评估神经元损伤。
SAH组和IL-6组动物的脑脊液IL-6水平在基线(第0天)和随访(第3天)之间显著升高。脑脊液中IL-6和ET-1水平之间存在统计学显著相关性(Pearson相关系数r = 0.454,P = 0.003)。SAH组第3天的CVS比IL-6组更明显:分别为26.0±7.2%和16.7±5.0%。SAH组海马结构中存在TUNEL阳性凋亡神经元,IL-6组程度较轻。
结果表明,SAH后IL-6引发的CVS依赖于ET-1。IL-6可能是新治疗方法的靶点。
