Effect of SDH on the expression of lymphoid markers in the meninges. a Representative Western blot images of LYVE 1, FOXC 2 and VEGF-C in the meninges of rats in the sham and SDH groups at 6 h, 24 h, 3 d and 7 d after SDH establishment. B-actin was used as an internal reference protein. b Quantification of LYVE 1, FOXC 2 and VEGF-C expression. The expression levels of these three lymphatic protein markers decreased in the SDH group at 6 h and 1 d after the modelling and returned to the baseline on days 3 and 7. The data are presented as the mean ± SD. *P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01, ^NSP > 0.05, n = 4/group
