Abstract

Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is one of the most severe subtypes of stroke with high morbidity and mortality. Although a lot of drug discovery studies have been conducted, the drugs with satisfactory therapeutic effects for motor paralysis after ICH have yet to reach clinical application. Transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 (TRPV4), a Ca2+-permeable cation channel and activated by hypoosmolarity and warm temperature, is expressed in various cell types. The present study investigated whether TRPV4 would participate in the brain damage in a mouse model of ICH. ICH was induced by intrastriatal treatment of collagenase. Administration of GSK1016790A, a selective TRPV4 agonist, attenuated neurological and motor deficits. The inhibitory effects of the TRPV4 agonist in collagenase-injected WT mice were completely disappeared in TRPV4-KO mice. The TRPV4 agonist did not alter brain injury volume and brain edema at 1 and 3 days after ICH induction. The TRPV4 agonist did not show any differences with respect to the increased number of Iba1-positive microglia/macrophages, GFAP-positive astrocytes, and Gr1-positive neutrophils at 1 and 3 days after ICH induction. Quantitative RT-PCR experiments revealed that the TRPV4 agonist significantly upregulated the expression level of c-fos, a marker of neuronal activity, while the agonist gave no effects on the expression level of cytokines/chemokines at 1 day after ICH induction, These results suggest that stimulation of TRPV4 would ameliorate ICH-induced brain injury, presumably by increased neuronal activity and TRPV4 provides a novel therapeutic target for the treatment for ICH.
