Erythrolysis occurs in the clot after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), and the release of hemoglobin causes brain injury, but it is unclear when such lysis occurs. The present study examined early erythrolysis in rats. ICH rats had an intracaudate injection of 100 μl autologous blood, and sham rats had a needle insertion. All rats had T2 and T2* magnetic response imaging (MRI) scanning, and brains were used for histology and CD163 (a hemoglobin scavenger receptor) and DARPP-32 (a neuronal marker) immunohistochemistry. There was marked heterogeneity within the hematoma on T2* MRI, with a hyperintense or isointense core and a hypointense periphery. Hematoxylin and eosin staining in the same animals showed significant erythrolysis in the core with the formation of erythrocyte ghosts. The degree of erythrolysis correlated with the severity of perihematomal neuronal loss. Perihematomal CD163 was increased by day 1 after ICH and may be involved in clearing hemoglobin caused by early hemolysis. Furthermore, ICH resulted in more severe erythrolysis, neuronal loss, and perihematomal CD163 upregulation in spontaneously hypertensive rats compared to Wistar-Kyoto rats. In conclusion, T2*MRI-detectable early erythrolysis occurred in the clot after ICH and activated CD163. Hypertension is associated with enhanced erythrolysis in the hematoma.

Effects of Haptoglobin on Early Brain Injury, Vasospasm, and Lymphatic Drainage After Subarachnoid Hemorrhage in Mice.

Article Synopsis
- Erythrolysis releases free hemoglobin, which contributes to early brain injury and cerebral vasospasm after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH); the study aimed to assess if haptoglobin (Hp) supplementation could mitigate these effects in a mouse model.
- The study involved 317 male mice divided into groups with varying concentrations of Hp, and the outcomes were evaluated after 24 and 48 hours following SAH modeling.
- Results indicated that high concentrations of Hp significantly reduced mortality, brain edema, neurological impairments, and prevented neuronal apoptosis and vasospasm, while also promoting lymphatic drainage of free hemoglobin.

Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage(SAH) causes brain injury and systemic complications, including cardiopulmonary dysfunction, which mutually affect each other. Post-SAH brain injury includes early brain injury(EBI) and delayed cerebral ischemia(DCI). EBI is a non-iatrogenic pathology occurring within 72 h of clinical SAH, primarily induced by increased intracranial pressure, subsequent transient global cerebral ischemia, and extravasated blood components.

Article Synopsis
- Blood components from erythrolysis contribute to secondary brain injury and posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus (PHH) following intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH).
- The study tested N-acetylheparin (NAH), a complement inhibitor, on aged rats to see its effects on erythrolysis, PHH, and iron buildup after IVH.
- Results showed that NAH reduced complement activation, minimized brain injury, decreased ventricular volume, and lowered iron accumulation, suggesting it could be a therapeutic approach for managing complications from IVH.

This review article discusses the role of MR imaging-based biomarkers in understanding and managing hemorrhagic strokes, focusing on intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. ICH is a severe type of stroke with high mortality and morbidity rates, primarily caused by the rupture of small blood vessels in the brain, resulting in hematoma formation. MR imaging-based biomarkers, including brain iron quantification, ultra-early erythrolysis detection, and diffusion tensor imaging, offer valuable insights for hemorrhagic stroke management.

Background And Purpose: Early erythrolysis occurs within the hematoma following intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), and the release of erythrocyte cytoplasmic proteins such as hemoglobin and Prx2 (peroxiredoxin 2) can cause brain injury. Complement activation can induce erythrolysis. This study determined the function of complement component 3 (C3) in erythrolysis in hematoma and brain injury after ICH in mice.
