Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is the second most common type of stroke with no satisfactory treatment. Recent studies from our group and others indicated a potential positive effect of verapamil, a commonly prescribed calcium channel blocker, with thioredoxin-interacting protein (TXNIP) inhibitor properties, in ischemic stroke and cognitive disorders. It is unclear whether there would be a beneficial effect of verapamil administration in ICH. Therefore, this study was designed to determine the neuroprotective effects of verapamil in a murine ICH model. ICH was induced by stereotactic injection of collagenase type VII (0.075 U) into the right striatum of adult male C57BL/6 mice. Verapamil (0.15 mg/kg) or saline was administered intravenously at 1 h post-ICH followed by oral (1 mg/kg/d) administration in drinking water for 28 days. Motor and cognitive function were assessed using established tests for motor coordination, spatial learning, short- and long-term memory. A subset of animals was sacrificed at 72 h after ICH for molecular analysis. Verapamil treatment reduced expression of TXNIP and NOD-like receptor pyrin domain-containing-3 inflammasome activation in the perihematomal area. These protective effects of verapamil were associated with decreased proinflammatory mediators, microglial activation, and blood-brain barrier permeability markers and paralleled less phosphorylated nuclear factor kappa B level. Our findings also demonstrate that long-term low-dose verapamil effectively attenuated motor and cognitive impairments. Taken together, these data indicate that verapamil has therapeutic potential in improving acute motor function after ICH. Further investigations are needed to confirm whether verapamil treatment could be a promising candidate for clinical trials.
