ObjectiveDelayed tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) treatment increases the risk of intracerebral hemorrhage in patients with ischemic stroke. We previously demonstrated that tPA treatment caused hemorrhagic complications in a 4-h middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) mouse model when administered after reperfusion. In the present study, we administered an anti-high mobility group box 1 (αHMGB1) antibody to 4-h MCAO mice to evaluate the usability of αHMGB1 antibody treatment in the delayed phase of ischemia, beyond the therapeutic time window of tPA.MethodsαHMGB1 antibody, tPA and control IgG were dissolved in normal saline and administered intravenously into the tail vein of the mice after reperfusion. Infarct volume, hemorrhagic volume, brain swelling, functional outcomes and levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as HMGB1, interleukin (IL)-6 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, were evaluated 24 h after MCAO.ResultstPA treatment was not only ineffective but also caused a massive intracerebral hemorrhage. Treatment with αHMGB1 antibody reduced the infarct volume and swelling and ameliorated neurologic impairment and motor coordination without hemorrhagic complications by inhibiting HMGB1 activity. Moreover, the αHMGB1 antibody suppressed pathways of secondary inflammatory responses, such as IL-6 and TNF-α, after cerebral ischemia.ConclusionThese results indicate that αHMGB1 antibody may be therapeutically efficient in the delayed phase of ischemia, where tPA treatment is no longer an eligible option. Treatment with an αHMGB1 antibody may be an effective therapeutic option in patients who exceed the tPA therapeutic time window.
