Abstract

Objective: This study’s purpose is to investigate the neuroprotective role of ethyl pyruvate (EP) in the pathogenesis of diabetic intracerebral hemorrhage.

Methods: The present study used a mouse model of collagenase-induced intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and streptozotocin-induced diabetes. The C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into 3 groups: sham operation, diabetic cerebral hemorrhage, and diabetic cerebral hemorrhage with EP. The EP (80 mg/kg) and EP (50 mg/kg) were injected intraperitoneally one day and one hour before modeling. The protein expression levels of high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) and NOD-like receptors 3 (NLRP3) were detected with western blot. The mRNA levels of HMGB1 and toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) were measured by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Immunofluorescence and ELISA were performed to confirm some inflammatory factors.

Results: Compared to the normal diabetic intracerebral hemorrhage group, the mRNA and protein expression levels of HMGB1 and TLR4 were downregulated in the EP-affected group with diabetic cerebral hemorrhage, together with the downregulation of the expression of inflammasomes, including NLRP3, apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing CARD (ASC), and caspase 1.

Conclusion: EP can reduce the inflammatory response after diabetic intracerebral hemorrhage and may inhibit the activation of inflammasomes by the HMGB1/TLR4 pathway.

Keywords: Diabetic cerebral hemorrhage, EP, inflammasome, HMGB1, TLR4, ethyl pyruvate.
