Abstract
Background: Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a major cause of death and disability globally. As a type of secondary injury after ICH, treatment for cell death can promote the recovery of neurological function.
Methods: Among all the cell death, neuronal necroptosis has recently been demonstrated of significance in the pathogenesis of ICH. However, the administration of drugs against necroptosis has many limitations.
Results: In the present study, we found that metformin, a first-line medication for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, can effectively inhibit neuronal necroptosis after ICH by activating the AMPK related pathway, thereby significantly improving neurological function scores and reducing brain edema.
Conclusion: These results will provide a new perspective for future research in necroptosis.
Keywords: ICH, necroptosis, metformin, AMPK, rotarod test, western blot analysis.
