Intraventricular extension of hemorrhage is a predictor of poor outcome in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and iron overload contributes to brain injury after ICH. The current study investigated the role of iron in ventricular dilatation and neuronal death in a rat model of intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH). There were two parts in this study. First, male Sprague-Dawley rats had a 200-μl injection of either autologous blood or saline into the right lateral ventricle and were euthanized at different time points. Rats had magnetic resonance imaging and brains were used for Western blot analysis, immunohistochemistry, histology and brain tissue non-heme iron measurements. Second, rats had IVH and were treated with deferoxamine (DFX) or vehicle, and rats were euthanized 4 weeks later for brain tissue loss and lateral ventricle size measurements. IVH resulted in brain iron accumulation, bilateral enlargement of the lateral ventricles and hippocampal brain tissue loss. Iron accumulation was associated with upregulation of heme oxygenase-1 and ferritin. Systemic DFX treatment reduced IVH-induced ventricular enlargement (e.g. day 28: 32.7±10.6 vs. 43.8±9.7 mm3 in vehicle-treated group, n=8–9, p<0.05) and hippocampal brain tissue loss (hippocampal volume: 89.0±2.7 vs. 85.2±4.1 mm3 in the vehicle-treated group, p<0.05). Iron has a role in brain injury following IVH. DFX may be a therapy for patients with IVH or intraventricular extension after ICH.
