Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a pervasive and devastating condition in which inflammatory and apoptotic pathways contribute to poor outcome. Interleukin-33 (IL-33) plays a crucial role in the inflammatory and apoptotic pathways through binding of the transmembrane ST2 receptor. This study investigated the expression and cellular localization of IL-33 in the cerebral cortex after SAH in order to clarify the role of IL-33 after SAH. Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into sham and SAH groups and evaluated 2, 6, and 12 h and 1, 2, 3, and 5 days after the surgery, with SAH animals subjected to prechiasmatic cistern SAH. IL-33 expression was measured by western blot analysis, real-time PCR, immunohistochemistry, and immunofluorescence. The mRNA levels of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha and IL-1 beta were also assessed. The expression of IL-33, IL-1 beta, and TNF-alpha was markedly elevated in the SAH as compared to the sham group; IL-33 was mainly localized in neurons and astrocytes and not microglia after SAH. Moreover, a significant positive association was observed between IL-33 and IL-1 beta expression. These findings indicate that IL-33 might play an important role in the inflammatory response following SAH.
