摘要

Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) is a debilitating condition with significant morbidity and mortality rates. Despite advancements in treatment, understanding the underlying pathophysiology, particularly the inflammatory response, remains crucial for improving patient outcomes. In this study, we investigated the presence of transmembrane protein 119 (TMEM119) of microglial cells in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) as a potential marker for neuroinflammation following aSAH. CSF samples were collected from aSAH patients, pathological and healthy controls, processed, and analyzed using immunocytochemistry. TMEM119-positive microglial cells were consistently identified in the CSF of aSAH patients, exhibiting amoeboid morphology and intense staining. Importantly, microglial cells were detected as early as the first day post-bleeding, persisting throughout the acute phase in some cases. Analysis of consecutive samples revealed varying trends in microglial cell numbers, with a peak during the initial phase followed by a gradual decline. Our findings suggest that microglia may migrate into the CSF following aSAH, potentially serving as an early predictor of inflammatory-related CNS damage. This study underscores the importance of understanding neuroinflammatory processes in aSAH and opens avenues for further research on the role of microglia in CNS disorders by liquid biopsy.
