Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a major cause of stroke, with high mortality and morbidity. There is no effective pharmacological therapy for ICH. Previous studies have indicated that CXCR4 antagonists reduced microglia activation, attenuated infiltration of T cells, and improved functional recovery in ischemic stroke animals. The interaction of CXCR4 antagonists and ICH has not been characterized. The purpose of this study is to examine the neuroprotective action of a novel CXCR4 antagonist CX807 against ICH. In primary cortical neuronal and BV2 microglia co-culture, CX807 reduced glutamate-mediated neuronal loss and microglia activation. Adult rats were locally administered with collagenase VII to induce ICH. CX807 was given systemically after the ICH. Early post-treatment with CX807 improved locomotor activity in ICH rats. Brain tissues were collected for qRTPCR and histological staining. ICH upregulated the expression of CXCR4, CD8, TNFα, IL6, and TLR4. The immunoreactivity of IBA1 and CD8, as well as TUNEL labeling, were enhanced in the perilesioned area. CX807 significantly mitigated these responses. In conclusion, our data suggest that CX807 is neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory against ICH. CX807 may have clinical implications for the treatment of hemorrhagic stroke.
