Abstrakt: Background: Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a severe type of stroke with high mortality. Persistent hyperglycemia following ICH is linked to deteriorated neurological functions and death. However, the exacerbating effect of hyperglycemia on ICH injury at the molecular level is still unclear. Therefore, this study explores the impact of diabetes on ICH injury using a non-obese diabetic (NOD) mouse model of type I diabetes mellitus. Methods: NOD and non-diabetic (non-obese resistant) mice subjected to ICH by intrastriatal injection of collagenase were sacrificed three days following the ICH. Brains were collected for hematoma volume measurement and immunohistochemistry. Neurobehavioral assays were conducted 24 h before ICH and then repeated at 24, 48 and 72 h following ICH. Results: NOD mice showed increased hematoma volume and impairment in neurological function, as revealed by rotarod and grip strength analyses. Immunohistochemical staining showed reduced glial cell activation, as indicated by decreased GFAP and Iba1 staining. Furthermore, the expression of oxidative/nitrosative stress markers represented by 3-nitrotyrosine and inducible nitric oxide synthase was reduced in the diabetic group. Conclusions: Overall, our findings support the notion that hyperglycemia exacerbates ICH injury and worsens neurological function and that the mechanism of injury varies depending on the type of diabetes model used.
