Oral e-Poster Presentations - Booth 1: Vascular A (Aneurysms), September 25, 2023, 1:00 PM - 2:30 PM Background: Vitamin D has been promoted to vascular regeneration in non-cerebral arteries because of its anti-inflammatory properties. Systematic inflammatory reaction as a multifactorial complication after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), correlated with higher mortality and poor outcome, is the result of a multifactorial mechanism with vasoactive inflammation on extracranial vessels. We therefore hypothesized that vitamin D attenuates the systemic vascular inflammatory reaction. Methods: We investigated the effect of vitamin D pretreatment (100 ng/kg/d; 5 days) in a blood injection SAH model in adult male C57BL6 mice. Vasomotor function (via wire myograph) of carotid and femoral artery and neurological deficits were measured. Different inflammatory factors such as tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), interleukin 6 (IL-6), vascular cell adhesion molecule (VCAM) and intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM), were also tested. Results: A significantly enhanced vasorelaxation was identified in Vitamin D pretreated mice (SAH-VitD versus SAH-control: p〈0,001; n=10). Missing a relevant difference in vasocontraction of carotid and femoral artery comparing SAH mice with and without vitamin D treatment, there was a significantly higher endothelial related vasorelaxing effect in treated SAH mice (p〈0,01, n=5). Neurological deficits in vitamin D pre-treated SAH mice were significantly decreased (p〈0,05; n=10). All tested inflammatory factors were down-regulated in vitamin D pre-treated mice (SAH-VitD versus SAH-control: p〈0,0001; n=10). Conclusions: Extracranial vascular Inflammation after SAH, as one of the influencing components in the follow-up after SAH onset, was significantly attenuated by Vitamin D pretreatment. Furthermore, anti-inflammatory effect of vitamin D resulted in a decrease of extracranial vasoconstriction and neurological deficits. Further research should be focused on vitamin D to optimize therapeutic strategies for SAH patients in critical care units.
