We recently observed early white matter injury after experimental subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) but the underlying mechanisms are uncertain. This study investigated the potential role of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 in blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption and consequent white matter injury. SAH was induced by endovascular perforation in adult male mice. The following three experiments were devised: (1) mice underwent MRI at 24 h after SAH and were euthanized to determine BBB disruption and MMP-9 activation in white matter; (2) to investigate the role of MMP-9 in BBB disruption, lesion volumes on MRI were compared between wild-type (WT) and MMP-9-knockout (MMP-9−/−) mice at 24 h after SAH; (3) WT and MMP-9−/− mice underwent MRI at 1 and 8 days after SAH to detect time-dependent changes in brain injury. Brains were used to investigate myelin integrity in white matter. In WT mice with SAH, white matter showed BBB disruption (albumin leakage) and T2-hyperintensity on MRI. MMP-9 activity was elevated at 24 h after SAH. MMP-9−/− mice had less white matter T2-hyperintensity after SAH than WT mice. At 8 days after SAH, WT mice had decreased myelin integrity and MMP-9−/− mice developed less white matter injury. SAH causes BBB disruption and consequent injury in white matter. MMP-9 plays an important role in those pathologies and could be a therapeutic target for SAH-induced white matter injury.
