Activation of nuclear factor-κB in the brain after experimental subarachnoid hemorrhage and its potential role in delayed brain injury.
It has been reported that inflammation is involved in brain injury after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) is a key transcriptional regulator of inflammatory genes. Here, we used pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate(PDTC), an inhibitor of NF-κB, through intracisternal injection to stud...

It has been reported that inflammation is involved in brain injury after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) is a key transcriptional regulator of inflammatory genes. Here, we used pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate(PDTC), an inhibitor of NF-κB, through intracisternal injection to study the role of NF-κB in delayed brain injury after SAH. A total of 55 rabbits were randomly divided into five groups: the control group; the SAH groups including Day-3, 5, and 7 SAH groups (the rabbits in these groups were sacrificed at 3, 5, 7 days after SAH, respectively); and the PDTC group (n = 11 for each group). Electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA) was performed to detect NF-κB DNA-binding activity. The mRNA levels of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-1β, and intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1 were evaluated by RT-PCR analysis.
