The homeostatic role of the third ventricle choroid plexus (3VCP) in the maintenance of CSF electrolytes was investigated by quantifying alterations in CP epithelial ion concentrations induced by chemical perturbations of plasma in adult Sprague-Dawley rats. Significant regional differences (third vs fourth (4VCP) and lateral ventricle CP (LVCP)) were found in epithelial content of Na+and K+, with respect to baseline levels as well as alterations caused by 5–60 min of systemic metabolic acidosis. 3VCP, which comprises ca. 10% of total choroidal tissue, has a water content, extracellular fluid volume and vascularity comparable to 4VCP and LVCP; yet 3VCP is characterized by relatively high and low values for cellular [Na+] (68 mM) and [K+] (118 mM). Compared to time-matched controls, acute metabolic acidosis (i.p. NH4Cl) effected a response, i.e. ↑ [K+] and ↓ [Na+], in 3VCP that was less than in 4VCP, and substantially smaller than in LVCP. The onset and duration of induced electrolyte changes were qualitatively similar among the 3 plexus regions. Although systemic acidosis severely altered CP electrolyte concentrations, it did not compromise CSF homeostasis of [K+] and [Na+]. The function of 3VCP is discussed in terms of secretory capacity, embryological origin, and innervation. Overall, the findings indicate that transport/permeability phenomena which mediate transmembrane distribution of Na+and K+in 3VCP differ quantitatively from other regions of the blood-CSF barrier.
