Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor, IL-2, IL-15, IL-17, monocyte chemotactic protein-1, macrophage inflammatory protein (MIP)-1α, TNF-α, and VEGF levels were significantly increased, but granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor, IFN-γ, IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-7, IL-8, IL-10, IL-12p70, IL-13, MIP-1β, and regulated upon activation, normal T cell expressed, and presumably secreted (RANTES) levels were not significantly different in the CSF of ALS patients [64]. This evidence concerns the gene VEGFA and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
