Edema from intracerebral hemorrhage: the role of thrombin

Abstract: The mechanism by which intracerebral hemorrhage leads to the formation of brain edema is unknown. This study assesses the components of blood to determine if any are toxic to surrounding brain. Various solutions were infused stereotactically into the right basal ganglia of rats. The animals were sacrificed 24 hours later; brain edema and ion contents were measured. Whole blood caused an increase in brain water content and ion changes consistent with brain edema. Concentrated blood cells, serum from clotted blo… Show more

“…The high doses of thrombin (∼20 U) used in previous studies indicating that thrombin can damage dopaminergic neurons in vivo [5,9] are similar to the amount that may be produced by a 100 μL cerebral hemorrhage [26]. The current study, however, indicates that a much smaller dose (1 U) can exacerbate brain injury at the time of 6-OHDA infusion.…”

“…Thrombin is a key mediator of edema formation and cell death in experimental stroke [26,37,41]. Recent evidence also suggests that thrombin may modulate brain injury in Parkinson's disease (PD).…”

“…At the cellular level, several cell lines, such as neurons, 16,21,23,24,27,29,30 glial/ependymal cells, 26 and endothelium, 25 are known to express receptors for this protein in the CNS. 31 Hoff and coworkers 17,[32][33][34][35][36] studied the effects that blood and its components have on rodent brain tissue and concluded that thrombin induces vasogenic edema as well as direct neurotoxicity.…”

“…[7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] Recent porcine experiments confirm that intrahematomal heparin can prevent such hyperacute perihematomal edema formation and that intrahematomal tissue plasminogen activator instillation can reduce it. 16 Further supportive human study evidence includes data from a prospective pilot study designed to analyze the effects of thrombocytopathia and/or thrombocytopenia and SICH.…”
