Caspase-1 inhibitor prevents neurogenic pulmonary edema after subarachnoid hemorrhage in mice

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: We examined the effects of a caspase-1 inhibitor, N-Ac-Tyr-Val-Ala-Asp-chloromethyl ketone (Ac-YVAD-CMK), on neurogenic pulmonary edema in the endovascular perforation model of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) in mice.

METHODS: Ninety-seven mice were assigned to sham, SAH+vehicle, SAH+Ac-YVAD-CMK (6 or 10 mg/kg), and SAH+Z-Val-Ala-Asp-fluoromethylketone (Z-VAD-FMK, 6 mg/kg) groups. Drugs were intraperitoneally injected 1 hour post-SAH. Pulmonary edema measurements, Western blot for interleukin-1beta, interleukin-18, myeloperoxidase, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2, MMP-9, cleaved caspase-3 and zona occludens-1, MMP zymography, terminal deoxynucleotidyltransferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling staining, and immunostaining were performed on the lung at 24 hours post-SAH.

RESULTS: Ten- but not 6-mg/kg of Ac-YVAD-CMK significantly inhibited a post-SAH increase in the activation of interleukin-1beta and caspase-3 and the number of terminal deoxynucleotidyltransferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling-positive pulmonary endothelial cells, preventing neurogenic pulmonary edema. Another antiapoptotic drug, Z-VAD-FMK, also reduced neurogenic pulmonary edema. SAH did not change interleukin-18, myeloperoxidase, MMP-2, MMP-9, zona occludens-1 levels, or MMP activity.

CONCLUSIONS: We report for the first time that Ac-YVAD-CMK prevents lung cell apoptosis and neurogenic pulmonary edema after SAH in mice.
