Abstract: Objective To investigate the changes of interleukin-1β (IL-1β) in rat brain after subarachnoid hemorhage (SAH) and its relation to cerebral edema and vasospasm.Methods Subarachnoid hemorrhage rat model was produced by anterior cerebral artery perforation method.The brain water content was measured by dry-wet weight method.Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining was used to assess vasospasm in the basilar artery,and the expression of IL-1β after SAH was examined by Western blot.Results After SAH,the cerebral edema gradually occured from 1 d,reached the peak at 7d.The level of IL-1β protein started to increase in 1 d,reached its peak in 7d,and remained at a relative high level in 14d.There's correlation between the level of IL-1β protein and changes of cerebral edema.Conclusion After SAH,The level of IL-1β gradually rised and fits remarkably well with the time course of cerebral edema,which may indicate that IL-1β leads to the development of cerebral edema after SAH.
