Introduction: Iron-dependent formation of reactive oxygen species has been implicated in the development of vasospasm (VSP) and neuronal injury following experimental subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). We report the association between unbound (“free”) iron in CSF of SAH patients and the risk of angiographic vasospasm and cerebral infarcts (CI) on neuroimaging from a recently completed pilot study. Methods: Samples of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) were obtained on days 1, 3, and 5. A fluorometric assay that relies on an oxidation sensitive probe was used to measure redox active iron (REDOX-Fe). Ceruloplasmin (Cp) concentration and levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), a marker of lipid peroxidation were also measured. We prospectively collected and recorded demographic, clinical, and radiological data. Logistic regression and Wilcoxon Rank Sum test were used. Results: Five of 12 patients developed angiographic VSP (41.6%) and eight developed CI (66.6%). Mean REDOX-Fe was higher in patients with CI (3.96 ± 0.97 Vs. 2.77 ± 0.87 mcg/dl, p 0.07), particularly in patients with deep-seated strokes (4.56 ± 0.67 Vs. 3.35 ± 0.89, p 0.03). Levels of Cp at day 3 were lower in patients with deep strokes (34,092 ± 23,780 Vs. 86,045 ± 34,752 ng/ml, p 0.03). A trend towards higher REDOX-Fe on day 3 in patients who developed VSP (4.52 ± 1.16 Vs. 2.96 ± 0.71, p 0.07), and lower Cp levels on day 5 (45,033 ± 29,079 Vs. 63,044 ± 24,821, p 0.1) was found. Levels of MDA were higher in patients who developed CI (10.36 ± 4.36 Vs. 5.9 ± 4.2 nmol, p 0.08). Conclusions: In this preliminary study we found higher concentrations of redox active iron in CSF of SAH patients who develop deep-seated CI on neuroimaging. Evidence of increased oxidative damage correlated with development of CI. A possible association between non-protein bound iron and angiographic VSP is suggested as well. Ceruloplasmin may exert a protective effect in this setting. Further studies are needed to validate these findings.

Although previous studies using iron chelators suggest that iron-catalyzed reactions exacerbate myocardial injury, a direct demonstration of the timing, sites, and mechanisms of iron-mediated damage during reperfusion has been lacking. Catalytic doses of redox-active iron react with exogenously administered oxygen radical-generating systems to exacerbate myocardial injury. In an analogous manner, catalytic doses (5 microM) of excess iron present during early reperfusion should augment oxidative injury, if the redox-active iron is present in the same compartment as both the oxygen radicals generated during reperfusion as well as the critical biochemical targets of oxidative injury. We determined whether catalytic doses of iron given during early reperfusion could exacerbate myocardial injury and whether iron-catalyzed injury required intra- or extracellular iron. Buffer-perfused rabbit hearts underwent 30 min of 37 degrees C global ischemia and 30 min of reperfusion. Iron (5 microM), attached to ligands that either restrict iron to the extracellular space (ADP) or facilitate the entry of iron into myocytes (omadine, tropolone), was infused during the last 3 min of ischemia and the first 4 min of reperfusion. Recovery of developed pressure was decreased (P < 0.05) in omadine-iron and tropolone-iron compared with ADP-iron and noniron hearts treated with ligands alone. Tissue lipid peroxide levels, an index of oxidative injury, were increased (P < 0.05) by omadine-iron and tropolone-iron, but not ADP-iron. The oxidative damage caused by omadine-iron was blocked by pretreatment with dimethylthiourea, a cell-permeable scavenger of the hydroxyl radical.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
