The blood coagulation factor thrombin that leaks from ruptured vessels initiates brain tissue damage after intracerebral hemorrhage. We have recently shown that mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) activated by thrombin exacerbate hemorrhagic brain injury via supporting survival of neuropathic microglia. Here, we investigated whether induction of heme oxygenase (HO)-1 is involved in these events. Zinc protoporphyrin IX (ZnPP IX), a HO-1 inhibitor, attenuated thrombin-induced injury of cortical cells in a concentration-dependent manner (0.3-3 microM) and tended to inhibit shrinkage of the striatal tissue at 0.3 microM. HO-1 expression was induced by thrombin in microglia and astrocytes in both the cortex and the striatum. The increase of HO-1 protein was suppressed by a p38 MAPK inhibitor SB203580, and early activation of p38 MAPK after thrombin treatment was observed in neurons and microglia in the striatum. Notably, concomitant application of a low concentration (0.3 microM) of ZnPP IX with thrombin induced apoptotic cell death in striatal microglia and significantly decreased the number of activated microglia in the striatal region. On the other hand, a carbon monoxide releaser reversed the protective effect of ZnPP IX on thrombin-induced injury of cortical cells. Overall, these results suggest that p38 MAPK-dependent induction of HO-1 supports survival of striatal microglia during thrombin insults. Thrombin-induced cortical injury may be also regulated by the expression of HO-1 and the resultant production of heme degradation products such as carbon monoxide.
