Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is devastating neurodegenerative disease that results from the leakage of blood constituents into brain parenchyma. Our previous research showed that leukotriene B4 (LTB4), a lipid mediator, promotes neutrophil invasion after ICH onset and exacerbates ICH pathology. Here we focused on microglia as the source of LTB4 production. First, we checked the expression profiles of LTB4 and other arachidonic acid metabolites in ICH brain. Male C57BL/6J mice were received the injection of typeⅦ collagenase (0.025 U) into striatum. Lipidomics analysis based on LC-MS/MS revealed the LTB4 increase at 12 h after ICH induction. Then, we examined the effect of microglia-secreted mediators in ICH. Differentiated human promyelocytic leukemia cells (dHL-60) were seeded on upper layer of cell culture inserts with 3.0 μm pore, and treated culture supernatant of BV-2 cells with 12 h thrombin (30 U/mL) treatment to bottom layer. Culture supernatant of thrombin-treated BV-2 cells promotes infiltration of dHL-60 cells into the bottom layer, but U75302, a LTB4 receptor 1 (BLT1) antagonist, suppressed the infiltration. These results suggest that LTB4 secreted by microglia promote neutrophils invasion in ICH.
