Abstract

Background

Mild hypothermia has been identified to reduce brain injury following intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) by protecting neuron cells through several pathways. However, the role of hypothermia in brain function following ICH and the related mechanisms have not been well identified. Ubiquitination-mediated inflammation plays important roles in the pathogenesis of immune diseases. The experiment analyzed anti-inflammatory effects of mild hypothermia following ICH.

Methods

The model of ICH was induced by injecting autologous blood. Neuregulin receptor degradation protein-1 (Nrdp1) and downstream molecule were analyzed. In addition, brain inflammatory response, brain edema, and neurological functions of ICH mice were also assessed.

Results

We found that mild hypothermia attenuated proinflammatory factors production after ICH. Mild hypothermia significantly inhibited BBB injury, water content, and neurological damage following ICH in vivo. Moreover, mild hypothermia also increased Nrdp1/MyD88 levels and thus affect neuronal apoptosis and inflammation.

Conclusions

Taken together, these results suggest that mild hypothermia can attenuate the neuroinflammatory response and neuronal apoptosis after ICH through the regulation of the Nrdp1 levels.
