Bilirubin oxidation products, oxidative stress, and intracerebral hemorrhage

Abstract: Hematoma and perihematomal regions after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) are biochemically active environments known to undergo potent oxidizing reactions. We report facile production of bilirubin oxidation products (BOXes) via hemoglobin/Fenton reaction under conditions approximating putative in vivo conditions seen following ICH. Using a mixture of human hemoglobin, physiological buffers, unconjugated solubilized bilirubin, and molecular oxygen and/or hydrogen peroxide, we generated BOXes, confirmed by spectr… Show more

“…24 Blood may remain for weeks after hemorrhage; acute clots obstruct ventricular CSF pathways, and clot degradation products obstruct extraventricular CSF pathways. When present, blood degradation products continue to contribute to patients' poor clinical statuses 5,6,[9][10][11] and are responsible for chronic shunt-dependent hydrocephalus in more than 30% of them. [15][16][17]30 At present, reduction in the ventricular clot size seems to be the only method for reducing mortality rates after the ICH has stabilized.…”

“…Although direct effects of BOXes on white matter were not assessed here, the importance of BOXes is supported by studies detecting BOXes in brain tissue around experimental ICH. 12,32 Compounds with other molecular weights were identified and their contribution to toxicity needs to be determined.…”

“…As is known, after a cerebral hemorrhage, oxidations in the hematoma produce a cocktail of dangerous metabolites released into the brain's parenchyma (Wagner et al 2003;Clark et al 2008). To investigate if excitation of glutamatergic EPSPs and inhibition of GABA B ergic IPSPs observed in piriform cortex in the onset of perfusion with autologous blood was dependent on the influence of different products of blood (clot) degradation, we performed experiments to examine the changes of synaptic activity in slices under the influence of the fractions derived from the blood centrifugation.…”
