To minimize the neurotoxic injury by clot-derived substances after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) on the surrounding brain tissue, minimally invasive neurosurgical protocols have evolved evacuating the hematoma by stereotaxic injection of a fibrinolytic agent such as recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rtPA), followed by aspiration of the lysed clot. However, the possible contribution of the presence of exogenous tPA itself to the toxic effects of hematoma-derived factors complicates the rationale and efficacy of this therapeutic approach. To clarify the role of exogenous rtPA on edema development, we examined the extent of edema formation in a murine model of collagenase-induced ICH, which included tPA-deficient (tPA(-/-)) and wild-type (wt) mice. In 16 (7 tPA(-/-) and 9 wt mice) out of 32 mice, 1 mg/kg r-tPA was injected into the hematoma 5 h after ICH induction followed by aspiration of the liquefied clot 20 min later. In the control group (8 tPA(-/-) and 8 wt mice), only collagenase was injected. The edema volume was quantified using SPOT software on Luxol Fast Blue and Cresyl violet-stained cross-sections 24 h, 3, and 7 days post surgery. Twenty-four hours after ICH induction, tPA(-/-) mice had a significantly smaller edema volume (P < 0.0 1), even when rtPA was administered. Between days 3 and 7 after ICH, exogenous rtPA exerts its edema-promoting effect irrespective of the underlying genotype and exhibits an extensive microglial activation adjacent to the clot. In conclusion, the role of the endogenous tPA appears to be limited to the early phase of edema formation, whereas exogenous rtPA is edema-promoting between days 3 and 7 after ICH.
