Abstract

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the expression of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) and the clinical significance thereof. Forty-three patients with SAH and 23 healthy individuals were enrolled in this study. Patients were divided into the cerebral vasospasm (CVS) and non-cerebral vasospasm (non-CVS) groups, or the good and poor prognosis groups. Serum levels of MMP-9 and IL-6 were detected by ELISA. Expression levels of MMP-9 and IL-6 mRNAs were detected by RT‑qPCR. Expression levels of MMP-9 and IL-6 were elevated with the increase of grades as determined by the Hunt‑Hess grading method. Serum levels of MMP-9 and IL-6 in the CVS and poor prognosis groups were significantly higher than those in the control group. Expression levels of MMP-9 and IL-6 in the CVS group were significantly higher than those in the non-CVS group (P<0.05). Compared with the good prognosis group, the expression levels of MMP-9 and IL-6 were significantly increased in the poor prognosis group at 1, 4, 7 and 10 days after SAH (P<0.05). Additionally, the expression level of MMP-9 was significantly positively correlated with that of IL-6 (P<0.05). Expression levels of MMP-9 and IL-6 were significantly increased in patients with SAH, and the expression level of MMP-9 was positively correlated with that of IL-6. Thus, MMP-9 and IL-6 are involved in the development of SAH.
