Abstract

Background: Intracranial aneurysms (IA) frequently cause subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) and have poor prognosis. However, the molecular mechanisms and diagnostic biomarkers associated with IA and ruptured IA (rIA) remain poorly understood.

Methods: In this study, single-cell and transcriptome datasets were obtained from the GEO database. The cell populations were annotated to identify potential pathogenic subpopulations, followed by intercellular communication, pseudotime, and SCENIC analyses. Proteome-wide and transcriptome-wide Mendelian randomization (MR) analyses were conducted to identify risk factors for IA and SAH. The major pathological changes and diagnostic biomarkers of IA and SAH were identified based on the transcriptome datasets. A clinical cohort was established to identify the diagnostic biomarkers and validate the results.

Results: Macrophages and neutrophils were predominantly increased in IA and rIA tissues, and neutrophils were markedly upregulated in the blood of SAH patients. SPP1 Macrophage was progressively elevated in aneurysms, promoting vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) phenotypic transformation and collagen matrix remodeling through the SPP1 and TGF-β pathways. Furthermore, HIF1α regulon was enriched in SPP1 Macrophage, mediating inflammation and metabolic reprogramming, which contributed to IA progression. Integrated MR analysis identified CD36 as a risk factor for both IA and SAH, and it has been recognized as an effective blood biomarker for SAH. Neutrophils and their related indicators have emerged as excellent biomarkers of SAH in clinical cohorts.

Conclusion: This study highlighted the detrimental role of SPP1 Macrophage in IA and SAH using single-cell sequencing and MR analyses. CD36 was identified as a risk factor for IA and SAH and was also an efficient blood biomarker for SAH. In a clinical cohort, neutrophils and related indicators were valuable for the early diagnosis of SAH.
