Targeting tPA, MMP 9, or both may provide a new approach for preventing cerebral hemorrhage associated with antithrombotic therapy for stroke in humans.
The authors investigated how MMP-9 gene deficiency enhances hemorrhage and increases mortality and neurologic deficits in a collagenase-induced intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) model in MMP-9-knockout mice.

We demonstrate that edaravone inhibits rtPA-induced cerebral hemorrhage in the ischemic brain of rats via the inhibition of MMP-9 expression in vivo, which is substantiated by inhibition of MMP-9 expression and NF-kappaB activation in HBECs.
