- Treatment with dimethyl fumarate after intracerebral hemorrhage in mice:
- Activated casein kinase 2 and Nrf2 signaling pathway
- Ameliorated inflammation
- Improved neurological function and protected blood-brain barrier integrity
Background and purposeEdema formation, inflammation and increased blood-brain barrier permeability contribute to poor outcomes after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). This study examined the therapeutic effect of dimethyl fumarate (DMF), a fumaric acid ester that activates nuclear factor erythroid-2 related factor 2 (Nrf2) and Nrf2 heterodimerization effector protein musculo-aponeurotic fibrosarcoma-G (MAFG) in a murine ICH model.MethodsMale CD-1 mice (n = 176) were subjected to intrastriatal infusion of bacterial collagenase (n = 126), autologous blood (n = 18) or sham surgery (n = 32). Four (4) animals not subjected to ICH (naive) were also included in the study. After ICH, animals either received vehicle, dimethyl fumarate (10 mg or 100 mg/kg) or casein kinase 2 inhibitor (E)-3-(2,3,4,5-tetrabromophenyl)acrylic acid (TBCA). Thirty-two mice also received scrambled siRNA or MAFG siRNA 24 h before ICH. Brain water content and neurological function were evaluated.ResultsDimethyl fumarate reduced Evans blue dye extravasation, decreased brain water content, and improved neurological deficits at 24 and 72 h after ICH. Casein kinase 2 inhibitor TBCA and MAFG siRNA prevented the effect of dimethyl fumarate on brain edema and neurological function. After ICH, ICAM-1 levels increased and casein kinase 2 levels decreased. Dimethyl fumarate reduced ICAM-1 but enhanced casein kinase 2 levels. Again, casein kinase 2 inhibitor TBCA and MAFG siRNA abolished the effect of dimethyl fumarate on ICAM-1 and casein kinase 2. Dimethyl fumarate preserved pNrf2 and MAFG expression in the nuclear lysate after ICH and the effect of dimethyl fumarate was abolished by casein kinase 2 inhibitor TBCA and MAFG siRNA. Dimethyl fumarate reduced microglia activation in peri-hematoma areas after ICH. The protective effect of dimethyl fumarate on brain edema and neurological function was also observed in a blood injection mouse model.ConclusionDimethyl fumarate ameliorated inflammation, reduced blood-brain barrier permeability, and improved neurological outcomes by casein kinase 2 and Nrf2 signaling pathways after experimental ICH in mice.
