Gene transfer of calcitonin gene-related peptide prevents vasoconstriction after subarachnoid hemorrhage.
We sought to determine whether adenovirus-mediated gene transfer in vivo of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), a potent vasodilator, ameliorates cerebral vasoconstriction after experimental subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Arterial blood was injected into the cisterna magna of rabbits to mimic SAH 5 days after injection of AdRSVCGRP (8x10(8) pfu), AdRSVbetagal (control virus), or vehicle. Af...
متن کاملCalcitonin Gene-related Peptide in Serum after Spontaneous Subarachnoid Hemorrhage
Endogenous Calcitonin Gene-Related Peptide (CGRP) stored in perivascular nerve fibers around the cerebral arteries mediates vasodilation and regulates cerebral blood flow under physiological conditions. Increased levels of CGRP have been continually reported in patients with migraine, but the role of CGRP in the pathophysiology of Subarachnoid Hemorrhage (SAH) has not yet been sufficiently eval...
متن کاملEffect of subarachnoid hemorrhage on calcitonin gene-related peptide-induced relaxation in rabbit basilar artery.
An isometric tension measurement of ring segments was performed in the rabbit basilar and common carotid arteries in vitro to investigate the regional differences in the calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP)-induced vasodilation and the effect of subarachnoid hemorrhage on CGRP-induced vasodilation. CGRP elicited vasodilation of the rabbit basilar artery in a dose-dependent fashion when the ar...
متن کاملGene transfer of calcitonin gene-related peptide to cerebral arteries.
Overexpression of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), an extremely potent vasodilator, to blood vessels is a possible strategy for prevention of vasospasm. We constructed an adenoviral vector that encodes prepro-CGRP (Adprepro-CGRP) and examined the effects of gene transfer on cultured cells and cerebral arteries. Transfection of Adprepro-CGRP to Cos-7 and NIH-3T3 cells increased CGRP-like ...
متن کاملDifferentiating reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome with subarachnoid hemorrhage from other causes of subarachnoid hemorrhage.
IMPORTANCE Reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS) is a clinical-angiographic syndrome characterized by recurrent thunderclap headaches and reversible segmental multifocal cerebral artery narrowing. More than 30% of patients with RCVS develop subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Patients with RCVS with SAH (RCVS-SAH) are often misdiagnosed as having potentially ominous conditions such as...
