Glibenclamide pretreatment attenuates early hematoma expansion of warfarin-associated intracerebral hemorrhage in rats by alleviating perihematomal blood-brain barrier dysfunction.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Hematoma expansion is a determinant of poor outcome of intracerebral hemorrhage but occurs frequently, especially in warfarin-associated intracerebral hemorrhage (W-ICH). In the present study, we employ the warfarin-associated intracerebral hemorrhage (W-ICH) rat model, to explore the efficacy and potential mechanism of glibenclamide pretreatment on hematoma expansion after intracerebral hemorrhage, hoping to provide proof of concept that glibenclamide in stroke primary and secondary prevention is also potentially beneficial for intracerebral hemorrhage patients at early stage.

Methods

In the present study, we tested whether glibenclamide, a common hypoglycemic drug, could attenuate hematoma expansion in a rat model of W-ICH. Hematoma expansion was evaluated using magnetic resonance imaging; brain injury was evaluated by brain edema and neuronal death; and functional outcome was evaluated by neurological scores. Then blood-brain barrier integrity was assessed using Evans blue extravasation and tight junction-related protein.

Results

The data indicated that glibenclamide pretreatment significantly attenuated hematoma expansion at 24 h after W-ICH, thus mitigating brain edema and neuronal death and promoting neurological function recovery, which may benefit from alleviating blood-brain barrier disruption by suppressing matrix metallopeptidase-9.

Conclusions

The results indicate that glibenclamide pretreatment in stroke primary and secondary prevention might be a promising therapy for hematoma expansion at the early stage of W-ICH.

Project description:ImportanceMany clinical trials focus on restricting hematoma expansion following acute intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), but selecting those patients at highest risk of hematoma expansion is challenging.ObjectiveTo develop a prediction score for hematoma expansion in patients with primary ICH.Design, setting, and participantsProspective cohort study at 2 urban academic medical centers among patients having primary ICH with available baseline and follow-up computed tomography for volumetric analysis (817 patients in the development cohort and 195 patients in the independent validation cohort).Main outcomes and measuresHematoma expansion was assessed using semiautomated software and was defined as more than 6 mL or 33% growth. Covariates were tested for association with hematoma expansion using univariate and multivariable logistic regression. A 9-point prediction score was derived based on the regression estimates and was subsequently tested in the independent validation cohort.ResultsHematoma expansion occurred in 156 patients (19.1%). In multivariable analysis, predictors of expansion were as follows: warfarin sodium use, the computed tomography angiography spot sign, and shorter time to computed tomography (≤ 6 vs >6 hours) (P < .001 for all), as well as baseline ICH volume (<30 [reference], 30-60 [P = .03], and >60 [P = .005] mL). The incidence of hematoma expansion steadily increased with higher scores. In the independent validation cohort (n = 195), our prediction score performed well and showed strong association with hematoma expansion (odds ratio, 4.59; P < .001 for a high vs low score). The C statistics for the score were 0.72 for the development cohort and 0.77 for the independent validation cohort.Conclusions and relevanceA 9-point prediction score for hematoma expansion was developed and independently validated. The results open a path for individualized treatment and trial design in ICH aimed at patients at highest risk of hematoma expansion with maximum potential for therapeutic benefit.

Project description:Background and Purpose- It is unknown whether blood pressure (BP) reduction influences secondary brain injury in spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). We tested the hypothesis that intensive BP reduction is associated with decreased perihematomal edema expansion rate (PHER) in deep ICH. Methods- We performed an exploratory analysis of the ATACH-2 randomized trial (Antihypertensive Treatment of Acute Cerebral Hemorrhage-2). Patients with deep, supratentorial ICH were included. PHER was calculated as the difference in perihematomal edema volume between baseline and 24-hour computed tomography scans divided by hours between scans. We used regression analyses to determine whether intensive BP reduction was associated with PHER and if PHER was associated with poor outcome (3-month modified Rankin Scale score 4-6). We then used interaction analyses to test whether specific deep location (basal ganglia versus thalamus) modified these associations. Results- Among 1000 patients enrolled in ATACH-2, 870 (87%) had supratentorial, deep ICH. Of these, 780 (90%) had neuroimaging data (336 thalamic and 444 basal ganglia hemorrhages). Baseline characteristics of the treatment groups remained balanced (P>0.2). Intensive BP reduction was associated with a decrease in PHER in univariable (β= -0.15; 95% CI, -0.26 to -0.05; P=0.007) and multivariable (β=-0.12; 95% CI, -0.21 to -0.02; P=0.03) analyses. PHER was not independently associated with outcome in all deep ICH (odds ratio, 1.14; 95% CI, 0.93-1.41; P=0.20), but this association was modified by the specific deep location involved (multivariable interaction P=0.02); in adjusted analyses, PHER was associated with poor outcome in basal ganglia (odds ratio, 1.42; 1.05-1.97; P=0.03) but not thalamic (odds ratio, 1.02; 95% CI, 0.74-1.40; P=0.89) ICH. Conclusions- Intensive BP reduction was associated with decreased 24-hour PHER in deep ICH. PHER was not independently associated with outcome in all deep ICH but was associated with poor outcome in basal ganglia ICH. PHER may be a clinically relevant end point for clinical trials in basal ganglia ICH.

Project description:BackgroundHematoma expansion (HE) after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is associated with worse outcome. Lobar ICHs are known to have better outcomes compared to deep ICH; however, it is unclear whether there are HE differences between these locations. We sought to investigate the hypothesis that lobar ICH has less HE compared to deep ICH.MethodsPrimary ICH patients admitted between 2009 and 2016 were included in a prospective single-center ICH cohort study. Patients with preceding anticoagulant use, coagulopathy on admission labs, or presenting after 24 h from symptom onset were excluded. Lobar and deep ICH patients with baseline and follow-up computed tomography (CT) (within 24 h of admission CT) were evaluated. HE was defined primarily as relative growth > 33% given expected baseline hematoma volume differences between locations. Other commonly utilized definitions of HE: > 6 mL, and > 33% or > 6 mL, were additionally assessed. Multivariable logistic regression was used to assess the association of ICH location with HE while adjusting for previously identified covariates of HE.ResultsThere were 59 lobar and 143 deep ICH patients analyzed. Lobar ICH patients had significantly larger baseline hematoma volumes, lower admission systolic blood pressure, and longer times to admission CT compared to deep ICH. Multivariable logistic regression revealed an association of lobar ICH with lower odds of HE (> 33%) [odds ratio (OR) 0.32; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.11-0.93; p = 0.04] compared to deep ICH after adjusting for baseline ICH volume, blood pressure, and time to CT. Secondary analysis did not identify an association of lobar ICH with HE defined as > 6 mL (adjusted OR 1.44; 95% CI 0.59-3.50; p = 0.41) or > 33% or > 6 mL (adjusted OR 0.71; 95% CI 0.29-1.70; p = 0.44).ConclusionWe identified less HE in lobar compared to deep ICH. The use of absolute growth thresholds in defining HE may be limited when assessing groups with largely different baseline hematoma sizes. Further study is required to replicate our findings and investigate mechanisms for HE differences between lobar and deep ICH locations.
