Current therapy for hydrocephalus involves surgical diversion of excess ventricular fluid. The water-transporting protein aquaporin-4 (AQP4) is expressed at the brain-CSF and blood-brain barriers. Here, we provide evidence for AQP4-facilitated CSF absorption in hydrocephalus by a transparenchymal pathway into the cerebral vasculature. A mouse model of obstructive hydrocephalus was created by injecting kaolin (2.5 mg\/mouse) into the cisterna magna. Intracranial pressure (ICP) was ~5mm Hg and ventricular size &lt; 0.3 mm<jats:sup>3<\/jats:sup> in control mice. Lateral ventricle volume increased to 3.7 \u00b1 0.5 and 5.1 \u00b10.5 mm<jats:sup>3<\/jats:sup> in AQP4 null mice at 3 and 5 days after injection, respectively, significantly greater than 2.6 \u00b1 0.3 and 3.5 \u00b1 0.5 mm<jats:sup>3<\/jats:sup> in wildtype mice ( P &lt; 0.005). The corresponding ICP was 22 \u00b1 2 mm Hg at 3 days in AQP4 null mice, significantly greater than 14 \u00b1 1 mm Hg in wildtype mice ( P &lt; 0.005). Brain parenchymal water content increased by 2% to 3% by 3 days, corresponding to ~50 \u03bcL of fluid, indicating backflow of CSF from the ventricle into the parenchymal extracellular space. A multi-compartment model of hydrocephalus based on experimental data from wildtype mice accurately reproduced the greater severity of hydrocephalus in AQP4 null mice, and predicted a much reduced severity if AQP4 expression\/function were increased. Our results indicate a significant role for AQP4-mediated transparenchymal CSF absorption in hydrocephalus and provide a rational basis for evaluation of AQP4 induction as a nonsurgical therapy for hydrocephalus.
