Mechanisms of brain injury in intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) of premature infants are elusive; and no therapeutic strategy exists to prevent the brain damage in these infants. Therefore, there is a need to develop an in vitro organotypic forebrain slice-culture model to advance mechanistic studies and therapeutic developments for this disorder. We cultured forebrain slices from E29 rabbit pups and treated the cultured slices (CS) with moderate (50 μl) or large (100 μl) amount of autologous blood to mimic moderate and severe IVH. Blood-induced damage to CS was evaluated for propidium-iodide staining, LDH levels, microglial density, neuronal degeneration, myelination, and gliosis over 2 weeks after the initiation of culture. CS were viable for at least 14 days in vitro (DIV). The application of blood induced significant neural cell degeneration. Degenerating cells were more abundant and LDH levels were elevated in a dose-dependent manner in CS treated with 50 or 100 μl of blood compared to untreated controls. Microglial density was higher in blood-treated CS compared to controls at both 7 and 14 days post-treatment. Myelination was reduced and gliosis enhanced in blood-treated CS. Selective application of blood fractions revealed that CS treated with plasma displayed more hypomyelination and gliosis compared to RBC-treated slices. This study developed and characterized a novel rabbit forebrain-slice culture model of IVH that exhibits neuropatholgical changes similar to human infants with IVH. Importantly, plasma appears to induce greater white matter damage than erythrocytes in IVH, indicating plasma a source of neurotoxic components.
