BACKGROUND: Deferoxamine (DFX) has been reported to have neuroprotective effect. This study aimed to investigate the neuroprotective effect of DFX and its effect on hypoxia-inducible factor 1 alpha (HIF-1α) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in rats after traumatic brain injury (TBI).
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Rats were randomly divided into sham operation, TBI + DFX, and TBI + vehicle groups. The rats in the TBI + DFX group were intraperitoneally injected with DFX 2 and 6 h after injury, thereafter once every 12 h. The rats in the TBI + vehicle group were intraperitoneally injected with saline at the same time points. At 6, 12, 24, and 48 h after TBI, 6 rats in each group were euthanized, and the brains were harvested. The expression of HIF-1α and VEGF in the pericontusional area was detected using real-time polymerase chain reaction and Western blot analysis. TBI-induced apoptosis was investigated using the TdT-mediated dUTP nick-end labeling (TUNEL) method. Three days after TBI, the density of microvessels was examined via immunohistochemical staining.
RESULTS: DFX treatment upregulated the expression of HIF-1α and VEGF after TBI. DFX treatment reduced apoptosis and improved the neurobehavioral score after TBI. The density of microvessels was higher in the TBI + DFX group than that in the TBI + vehicle group 3 d after TBI.
CONCLUSIONS: DFX can stimulate angiogenesis, inhibit apoptosis, and play a protective role after TBI. The protective effect of DFX may, at least in part, be through upregulating the expression of HIF-1α and its downstream target gene VEGF.
