The choroid plexus (CP), located at the walls of the brain ventricles, produces and secretes cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Hydrocephalus is a neurological disorder in which the CP abnormally secretes excess amounts of CSF into the ventricles. There is currently no information on the vascular dynamics of the CP in adult brains under normal and hydrocephalic conditions. In the present study, we reported the continuous proliferation of endothelial cells in the CP of normal mice, which depended on vascular endothelial cell growth factor (VEGF). The proliferation of endothelial cells increased in mice with intraventricular hemorrhage, which was attenuated by a pretreatment with the toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) inhibitor... More
