Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) results from the rupture of blood vessels and the leakage of blood constituents. Especially, thrombin, a blood coagulation factor, activates microglia and promotes ICH pathology. Furthermore, neutrophils infiltrated by blood leakage also exacerbates the ICH. Our previous study showed that leukotriene B4 (LTB4), a bioactive lipid, promotes pathological progression of ICH (Hijioka et al., 2017). In this study, we focused on lipoxin A4 (LXA4), other bioactive lipid synthesized by the enzymes producing LTB4. Thrombin (30 U/mL) treatment for 12 h increased mRNA expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in BV-2 microglia. Then, differentiated human promyelocytic leukemia cells (dHL-60) induced by dimethyl sulfoxide 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 treatment to bottom layer. Culture supernatant of thrombin-treated BV-2 cells promotes infiltration of dHL-60 cells into the bottom layer, but LXA4 treatment suppressed the infiltration. These results suggest that mediators secreted by microglia promote neutrophils invasion and LXA4 can be suppress the neutrophils invasion followed to ICH.
