Disability or death due to intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is attributed to blood lysis, liberation of iron and consequent oxidative stress. Iron chelators bind to free iron and prevent neuronal death induced by oxidative stress and disability due to ICH, but the mechanisms for this effect remain unclear. Here we show that the hypoxia-inducible factor prolyl-hydroxylase (HIF- PHD) family of iron-dependent oxygen sensing enzymes are effectors of iron chelation. Molecular reduction of the three HIF-PHD enzyme isoforms in mouse striatum improved functional recovery following ICH. A low molecular weight hydroxyquinoline inhibitor of the HIF-PHDs, adaptaquin, reduced neuronal death and behavioral deficits following ICH in several rodent models without affecting total iron or zinc distribution in the brain. Unexpectedly, protection from oxidative death in vitro or from ICH in vivo by adaptaquin was associated with suppression of expression of the prodeath factor ATF4 rather than activation of a HIF-dependent prosurvival pathway. In conclusion, together these findings demonstrate that brain-specific inactivation of the HIF-PHD metalloenzymes with the blood-brain barrier permeable inhibitor adaptaquin can improve functional outcomes following ICH in multiple rodent species.
