ABSTRACT
Iron has a key role in the activation of the autophagic pathway in rats with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), and hepcidin has the ability to reduce brain iron in ICH-rats. We therefore hypothesized that hepcidin might be able to inhibit autophagy by reducing iron in an ICH brain. Here, we investigated the effects of Ad-hepcidin and/or hepcidin peptide on autophagic activities in ICH models in vitro and in vivo. We demonstrated that ad-hepcidin and hepcidin peptide both inhibited hemin-induced increase in LC3-II/LC3-I conversion ratio and reversed the reduction in p62 content in cortical neurons in vitro. We also showed that ad-hepcidin inhibited ICH-induced increase in LC3-II/LC3-I conversion ratio and reversed ICH-induced reduction in p62 content in the brain cortex of rats in vivo. Based on these findings plus previous data on the effects of ad-hepcidin and/or hepcidin peptide on iron contents in ICH models, we suggested that hepcidin-induced inhibition of autophagy might be mediated via reducing iron in hemin-treated neurons in vitro and ICH-rat brain in vivo.
