Extended Data Fig. 9. CSF drainage into deep cervical lymph nodes increased by topical application of low concentration of phenylephrine or sodium nitroprusside to deep cervical lymphatics.

Extended Data Fig. 9

a, Diagram of experimental sequence of intracisternal (i.c.) infusion of TMR-Dextran at 1.0 μl/min for 3 min, removal of injection needle, topical application of phenylephrine (PE) or sodium nitroprusside (SNP) to deep cervical lymphatics, and measurement of TMR-Dextran fluorescence in deep cervical lymph nodes (dcLN) of Prox1-GFP mice. b,c, Fluorescence images and measurements of TMR-Dextran fluorescence in dcLNs (outlined by green dashed lines) at 30 min after application of multiple concentrations of PE or SNP. Scale bars, 200 μm. Each dot is the value for one mouse; PBS (n = 18), 10 nM PE (n = 10), 1 μM PE (n = 10), 5 mM PE (n = 7), 3 μM SNP (n = 8), 30 μM SNP (n = 10) in five independent experiments. Error bars indicate mean ± s.e.m. AU, arbitrary unit. P values were calculated by two-way ANOVA test followed by two-tailed Dunnett’s T3 multiple comparison post-hoc test.
