Following intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), clot-derived factors cause secondary brain damage. In particular, hemoglobin released during erythrolysis has been the focus of a large body of research due to its iron-containing heme cofactors. When not bound to O2, heme-bound iron exists in a ferrous (Fe2+) state capable of performing radical chemistry to create dangerous reactive oxygen species. Several studies have highlighted the hemoglobin-induced damage caused to neuronal populations during hemorrhagic stroke, suggesting the existence of pathways by which hemoglobin-associated iron can enter neurons and inflict oxidative injury [1–3]. While there are several known mechanisms by which free iron and heme can enter cells, the number of known hemoglobin uptake mechanisms is limited. The best characterized is CD163, long thought to be a marker of monocytes/macrophages. Recent evidence shows that CD163 can also be expressed in neuronal populations following ICH, providing a mechanism for hemoglobin uptake into neurons [2, 4]. This commentary discusses the potential beneficial roles of CD163 in microglia/macrophages after ICH and compares them to potentially detrimental effects the receptor may have in neurons.
