ABSTRACT
Heme release from hemoglobin may contribute to secondary injury after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). The primary endogenous defense against heme toxicity is hemopexin, a 57 kDa glycoprotein that is depleted in the CNS after hemorrhagic stroke. We hypothesized that systemic administration of exogenous hemopexin would reduce perihematomal injury and improve outcome after experimental ICH. Intraperitoneal treatment with purified human plasma hemopexin beginning 2 h after striatal ICH induction and repeated daily for the following two days reduced blood-brain barrier disruption and cell death at 3 days. However, it had no effect on neurological deficits at 4 or 7 days or striatal cell viability at 8 days. Continuous daily hemopexin administration had no effect on striatal heme content at 3 or 7 days, and did not attenuate neurological deficits, inflammatory cell infiltration, or perihematomal cell viability at 8 days. These results suggest that systemic hemopexin treatment reduces early injury after ICH, but this effect is not sustained, perhaps due to an imbalance between striatal tissue heme and hemopexin content at later time points. Future studies should investigate its effect when administered by methods that more efficiently target CNS delivery.
