Treatment with deferoxamine (DFO) is protective against focal ischemia with global hypoxia when given as a preconditioning stimulus in neonatal rodents. DFO acts as an iron chelator and may stabilize HIF1 alpha. Therefore, we hypothesized that DFO would protect against pure ischemia-reperfusion injury when given after the insult and that the protection would be associated with expression of hypoxia-inducible factor 1 alpha (HIF1 alpha) and downstream target genes such as erythropoietin (Epo). To test these hypotheses, we performed middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusion in postnatal day 10 (P10) rats for 1.5 h followed by treatment with DFO or vehicle upon reperfusion. Preserved brain volumes were measured with cresyl violet staining 1 week after the insult. HIF1 alpha and Epo expression were determined by Western blot and immumocytochemical analyses at different time points after injury. We found that DFO treatment preserved brain volumes when compared to vehicle (P < 0.05). In DFO-treated ischemic cortices, HIF1 alpha expression peaked early, while Epo expression was seen in two phases and in different cell populations. Epo immunoreactivity colocalized with neuronal markers at 8 h but with astrocytic markers at 1 week. These results suggest that DFO is protective when administered after neonatal ischemic stroke and that this protection may be like that afforded by preconditioning through the upregulation of similar downstream pathways.
