Popis: Spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH) is a disabling stroke sub-type, and tobacco use is a prominent risk factor for sICH. We showed that chronic nicotine exposure enhances bleeding post-sICH. Reduction of hematoma growth is a promising effective therapy for sICH in smoking subjects. Red-blood-cell-derived microparticles (RMPs) are hemostatic agents that limit hematoma expansion following sICH in naïve rats. Considering the importance of testing the efficacy of experimental drugs in animal models with a risk factor for a disease, we tested RMP efficacy and the therapeutic time window in limiting hematoma growth post-sICH in rats exposed to nicotine. Young rats were chronically treated with nicotine using osmotic pumps. sICH was induced in rats using an injection of collagenase in the right striatum. Vehicle/RMPs were administered intravenously. Hematoma volume and neurological impairment were quantified ≈24 h after sICH. Hematoma volumes in male and female nicotine-exposed rats that were treated with RMPs at 2 h post-sICH were significantly lower by 26 and 31% when compared to their respective control groups. RMP therapy was able to limit hematoma volume when administered up to 4.5 h post-sICH in animals of both sexes. Therefore, RMPs may limit hematoma growth in sICH patients exposed to tobacco use.
