Fig. 3From: Elevated CSF inflammatory markers in patients with idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus do not promote NKCC1 hyperactivity in rat choroid plexusThe inflammatory markers CCL28, CCL23, and CCL3 do not modulate the NKCC1 activity. a Schematic illustration of the inflammatory markers in cocktail 1 (CCL28, CCL23, and CCL3) and their corresponding receptors. b 86Rb+ efflux from the rat choroid plexus as a function of time in the control setting (black, n = 4) or with exposure to cocktail 1 (green, n = 4) containing CCL28 (100 ng/ml), CCL23 (200 ng/ml), and CCL3 (100 ng/ml). The y-axis represents the natural logarithm of the 86Rb+ amount left in the choroid plexus at time T (AT) divided by the initial amount at time 0 (A0). c 86Rb+ efflux rate constant in the control setting (0.80 ± 0.09 min−1, n = 4) or with exposure to cocktail 1 (0.70 ± 0.12 min−1, n = 4, CCL28 (100 ng/ml), CCL23 (200 ng/ml), and CCL3 (100 ng/ml). P = 0.21. d 86Rb+ efflux rate constant in the control setting (0.82 ± 0.11 min−1, n = 4) or with exposure to high concentrations of cocktail 1 (0.80 ± 0.19 min−1, n = 4, CCL28 (500 ng/ml), CCL23 (500 ng/ml), and CCL3 (500 ng/ml), P = 0.86. Error bars in b, c and d represent standard deviation and statistical significance was tested with an unpaired two-tailed t-test. NS, not significantBack to article page
