Long-Term Elevated Siglec-10 in Cerebral Spinal Fluid Heralds Better Prognosis for Patients with Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage.

The presence of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) is usually accompanied by excessive inflammatory response leading to damage of the central nervous system, and the sialic acid-binding Ig-like lectin 10 (Siglec-10) is a recognized factor being able to modify the inflammatory reaction. To investigate the potential role of Siglec-10 in aSAH, we collected the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of control ( = 11) and aSAH ( = 14) patients at separate times and measured the Siglec-10 concentration utilizing the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and evaluated the alterations of GOS and GCS during the disease process. In accordance with the STROBE statement, results showed that Siglec-10 in CSF rose quickly in response aSAH attack and then fell back to a slightly higher range above baseline, while it remained at relative high concentration and last longer in several severely injured patients. In general, higher Siglec-10 expression over a longer period usually indicated a better clinical prognosis. This prospective cohort study suggested that Siglec-10 could possibly be used as a biomarker for predicting prognosis of aSAH due to its ability to balance aSAH-induced nonsterile inflammation. Additionally, these findings might provide novel therapeutic perspectives for aSAH and other inflammation-related diseases.
