TBI contributes to morbidity in children and boys are disproportionately represented. Autoregulation is impaired more in male compared to female piglets after TBI through sex dependent upregulation of the spasmogen ET-1 and ERK mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK, a family of 3 kinases, ERK, p38 and JNK). Elevation of mean arterial pressure (MAP) leading to increased cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) via phenylephrine (Phe) improves impairment of autoregulation after TBI in female but not male piglets through modulation of ET-1 and ERK MAPK upregulation, blocked in females, but aggravated in males. We hypothesized that pressor choice to elevate CPP is important in improving cerebral hemodynamics after TBI and that dopamine (DA) will prevent impairment of autoregulation in both male and female piglets through blockade of ET-1 and ERK MAPK. Prospective, randomized animal study. University laboratory. Newborn (1–5 day old) pigs. CPP and pial artery diameter were determined before and after lateral fluid percussion brain injury was produced in piglets equipped with a closed cranial window. DA (15 μg/Kg/min iv) was administered 30 min post FPI. CSF ERK MAPK was determined by ELISA. DA increased CPP equivalently in both sexes and prevented sex dependent reductions in pial artery diameter after FPI. Loss of pial artery dilation during hypotension was greater in male compared to female piglets after FPI, but DA prevented such impairment equivalently in both sexes post injury. ET-1 and ERK MAPK release was greater in male compared to female piglets after FPI, but DA also blocked their upregulation equivalently in male and female piglets after FPI. These data indicate that DA is protective of autoregulation after FPI in both sexes. These observations advocate for the consideration of development of sex based therapies for treatment of hemodynamic sequalae of pediatric TBI.
