Intrastriatal injection of the reversible succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor malonate produces both energy depletion and striatal lesions similar to that seen in cerebral ischemia and Huntington's disease. The mechanisms of neuronal cell death involve secondary excitotoxicity and the generation of reactive oxygen species. Here, we investigated the effects of dopamine on malonate-induced generation of hydroxyl radicals and striatal lesion volumes. Using in vivo microdialysis, we found that malonate induced a 94-fold increase in extracellular striatal dopamine concentrations. This was paralleled by an increase in the generation of hydroxyl radicals. Prior unilateral lesioning of the nigrostriatal dopaminergic pathway by focal injection of 6-hydroxydopamine blocked the malonate-induced increase in dopamine concentrations and the generation of hydroxyl radicals and attenuated the lesion volume. In contrast, the NMDA receptor antagonist MK-801 attenuated malonate-induced lesion volumes but did not block the generation of hydroxyl radicals. Thus, the dopaminergic and glutamatergic pathways are essential in the pathogenesis of malonate-induced striatal lesions. Our results suggest that the malonate-induced release of dopamine but not NMDA receptor activation mediates hydroxyl radical formation. 相似文献

Unilateral electrolytical and chemical (6-hydroxydopamine) lesions in the substantia nigra (SN) of rats were followed 7 days later by considerable bilateral decreases of neostriatal dopamine (DA) levels. Similarly, the DA content of the substantia nigra decreased not only ipsilaterally but contralaterally as well. Positive correlations were found between ipsi- and contralateral nigral DA levels, ipsi- and contralateral striatal DA and between the DA level of the SN and the striatum of the corresponding side both ipsi- and contralaterally to the lesion. 相似文献

Deficits in the neural control of limb movements constitute a major part of Parkinsonian symptoms and are linked to a decay of dopaminergic neurotransmission. In animal models, Parkinsonian-like hypokinesia is consistently reproduced with large nigrostriatal dopamine depletions, while tremor and rigidity are less readily obtained. Lesions leading to a less than 70% striatal dopamine depletion are largely compensated by an increased activity of dopamine terminals. With more important lesions, supersensitivity of striatal non-adenylate cyclase-linked dopamine receptors occurs. Electrophysiological studies in Parkinsonian patients demonstrate increased reaction times and a reduced build-up of movement-related muscular activity underlying hypokinesia and provide circumstantial evidence for a central origin of tremor and rigidity. Single cell activity in unlesioned, behaving monkeys shows an increasingly direct relationship to movements when following the neural connections from mid-brain dopamine cells via striatum, globus pallidus, thalamus to pyramidal tract neurons of motor cortex. These data corroborate experimentally the concept that Parkinsonian hypokinesia is due to a failure of basic behavioral activating mechanisms. 相似文献

Rats given bilateral lesions of the medial hypothalamus, using either direct or radio frequency current, and killed 2 hours later showed a significant elevation in striatal concentration of homovanillic acid (HVA), while striatal dopamine (DA) was unaltered. After unilateral damage the elevated HVA was seen only in the hemisphere ipsilateral to the lesion. In rats killed 2 days after such damage, the striatal HVA did not differ from controls. The elevation of HVA, suggesting an enhanced release of striatal DA, is associated with a resistance to the cataleptic action of the DA receptor blocking agent droperidol. The present findings suggest that medial hypothalamic lesions can increase neurotransmission within brain DA neurons, and that this neurochemical event may account for at least some of the short-term behavioral effects of these lesions. The relationship of these brain events to the long-term behavioral effects of the lesion remains an important issue for future research. 相似文献

The correlation between rotational behaviors and neurochemical changes associated with the striatal damage induced by an unilateral microinjection of kainic acid were investigated. Shortly after the unilateral striatal injection of kainic acid, rats exhibited contralateral rotational behaviors, and these changes were antagonized by the simultaneous striatal injection of haloperidol. On the other hand, systemic injection of methamphetamine to animals having the lesion on nigro-striatal dopaminergic neurons exhibited ipsilateral turnings. In addition, it was found that the release of [14C]dopamine from striatal slices was increased by the in vitro addition of kainic acid. Following 2 days after the striatal injection of kainic acid and thereafter, the rats exhibited ipsilateral rotational behaviors and microinjection of muscimol into the ipsilateral substantia nigra of these animals altered turning movements to a contralateral type. Simultaneous nigral injection of bicuculline antagonized to the muscimol-induced contralateral turnings. These results suggest that the increase of dopamine release from dopaminergic neurons in the striatum may be involved in the occurrence of contralateral turning behaviors observed shortly after the striatal kainic acid treatment. The present results also suggest that changes in the functional states of striatonigral GABA-ergic neurons may play an important role in the occurrence of ipsilateral rotational movements at a late stage following the striatal injection of this agent. 相似文献

Placement of radio frequency lesions in the medial forebrain bundle resulted in a 50% depletion of striatal acetylcholine levels but did not change hippocampal levels. A similar result was obtained with the administration of chlorpromazine, haloperidol and pimozide. When these drugs were administered simultaneously with placement of lesions, there was the same 50% depletion of striatal acetylcholine. Apomorphine reversed the depletion due to lesions. These results suggest that the action of antipsychotic drugs on the cholinergic system in the striatum is primarily due to their action at dopamine receptors rather than a direct action on cholinergic receptors which would be due to their anticholinergic activity. 相似文献

Using the blue crab Callinectes sapidus as a model system, we have investigated the effects of potential neuromodulators on freely behaving animals. Of interest is the modulatory effect of a number of drugs on three rhythmic behaviors of the blue crab: courtship display (CD) of the male crab, sideways swimming and backward swimming. The drugs tested were proctolin, dopamine, octopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine. Injection of each drug elicited a unique posture or combination of limb movements. These experiments showed two results pertinent to CD behavior: A posture identical to the CD posture was displayed after dopamine injection; and rhythmic leg waving similar to CD was evoked by proctolin. An unusual combination of flexion and extension of all limbs and movements of some limbs occurred after serotonin injection. Injection of octopamine led to a posture antagonistic to CD posture. The effects of these drugs were concentration- and time-dependent. Injection of dopamine, octopamine, or serotonin produced effects that were seasonally-dependent, and the influence of proctolin proved to be dependent on developmental stage. Quantitative analysis of leg waving movements after proctolin injection allowed for comparison of these movements to naturally-occurring behavior.Abbreviations

The ability of serotonin (5-HT) to influence striatal glutamatergic transmission was examined by determining changes over time in glutamate extracellular levels, transporter expression and synaptosomal uptake in rats with lesion of serotonergic neurones. By 8 days after intraraphe injections of 5,7-dihydroxytryptamine, producing 80% decreases in striatal tissue 5-HT levels, no changes were observed in the glutamatergic transmission. When 5-HT depletion was almost complete (21 days post-lesion), high affinity glutamate uptake in striatal synaptosomal preparations was significantly increased (156% of control), although no changes in striatal GLT1, GLAST and EAAC1 mRNAs, and GLT1 protein were detected by in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry. Meanwhile, the serotonin lesion produced large increases in basal extracellular levels of glutamate and glutamine (364% and 259%, respectively) determined in awake rats by in vivo microdialysis, whereas no change was observed in dopamine levels as compared with control rats. High potassium depolarization as well as L-trans-pyrrolidine-2,4-dicarboxylate, also induced larger increases in extracellular levels of glutamate in lesioned rats than in controls. Finally, similar changes in glutamate transmission were observed by 3 months post-lesion. These results suggest that 5-HT has a long lasting and tonic inhibitory influence on the striatal glutamatergic input, without affecting the basal dopaminergic transmission. 相似文献

Dopamine depleting lesions of the substantia nigra result in a reduction of the striatal accumulation of 2-phenylethylamine following monoamine oxidase inhibition. It is established that this effect may not be due to a change in availability of aromaticL-amino acid decarboxylase in striatum. Nevertheless, the possibility remains that striatal concentrations of phenylalanine (the precursor of 2-phenylethylamine) may be altered by dopamine-depleting lesions. The present experiments assessed the effects of dopamine depletion induced by 6-OHDA (7 days following 8 g/4 l unilateral substantia nigra injection) on striatal concentrations of phenylalanine, dopamine, 5-hydroxytryptamine and their metabolites. In addition, the effects of reserpine-induced (10 mg kg–1, 2h, sc) amine depletion on these striatal levels were also assessed. Under equivalent conditions reserpine is reported to increase striatal accumulationof 2-phenylethylamine. 6-OHDA induced a significant unilateral depletion of dopamine, DOPAC and HVA and increased 5-HIAA but had no significant effect on phenylalanine levels. Reserpine decreased dopamine and 5-hydroxytryptamine and increased DOPAC, HVA and 5-HIAA levels, no changes in phenylalanine were observed. This pattern of results was also observed when lesioned animals or reserpine-treated animals were pretreated with (-)-deprenyl (2 mg kg–1, 2 hr, sc), the treatment previously used to induce accumulation of 2-phenylethylamine. These data indicate that changes in 2-phenylethylamine previously observed under these conditions may not simply be secondary to a change in striatal phenylalanine concentrations. 相似文献

Using concentrations of [3H] dihydroergokryptine between 0.1 and 5 nM, saturable binding can be demonstrated in rat cerebral cortical membranes with a dissociation constant (KD) of about 0.8 nM. α-Noradrenergic agonists and antagonists compete for the sites labeled by these low concentrations of [3H] dihydroergokryptine with relative potencies characteristics of classical α-noradrenergic receptors. The very low potency of serotonin in competing for these binding sites indicates that, in contrast to findings with higher concentrations of [3H] DHE, low concentrations do not label serotonin receptors. Moreover, the low potency of dopamine in competing for [3H] dihydroergokryptine binding in both striatal and cortical membranes indicates that no detectable portion of binding is associated with postsynaptic dopamine receptors. 相似文献

Rats with bilateral lateral hypothalamic lesions were killed on the third day after surgery and their brains were assayed for tel-diencephalic norepinephrine and striatal dopamine. Lesion-induced weight loss was highly correlated with depletion of striatal dopamine but not with tel-diencephalic norepinephrine. In rats with severe dopamine depletions, the degree of weight loss was related more to the striatum with the highest remaining level of dopamine suggesting that a critical level of dopamine in one striatum may be essential for lateral hypothalamic recovery. 相似文献

Attenuation of MPTP-induced dopaminergic neurotoxicity by TV3326, a cholinesterase-monoamine oxidase inhibitor 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
(R)-[(N-propargyl-(3R) aminoindan-5-yl) ethyl methyl carbamate] (TV3326) is a novel cholinesterase and brain-selective monoamine oxidase (MAO)-A/-B inhibitor. It was developed for the treatment of dementia co-morbid with extra pyramidal disorders (parkinsonism), and depression. On chronic treatment in mice it attenuated striatal dopamine depletion induced by MPTP and prevented the reduction in striatal tyrosine hydroxylase activity, like selective B and non-selective MAO inhibitors. TV3326 preferentially inhibits MAO-B in the striatum and hippocampus, and the degree of MAO-B inhibition correlates with the prevention of MPTP-induced dopamine depletion. Complete inhibition of MAO-B is not necessary for full protection from MPTP neurotoxicity. Unlike that seen after treatment with other MAO-A and -B inhibitors, recovery of striatal and hippocampal MAO-A and -B activities from inhibition by TV3326 did not show first-order kinetics. This has been attributed to the generation of a number of metabolites by TV3326 that cause differential inhibition of these enzymes. Inhibition of brain MAO-A and -B by TV3326 resulted in significant elevations of dopamine, noradrenaline and serotonin in the striatum and hippocampus. This may explain its antidepressant-like activity, resembling that of moclobemide in the forced-swim test in rats. 相似文献

We evaluated motor maps in the cerebral cortex and motor performance in cats before and after lesions of the forelimb representation in the primary motor area. After the lesion there was a reduction in the use of the affected forelimb and loss of accuracy in prehension tasks using the forelimb; some recovery occurred during the mapping study. Electrode tracts and lesion sites were located in cytoarchitectonically identified cortical areas 4γ, 4δ, 6aα, 6aγ, 3a. The lesions were mainly in area 4γ. In the lesioned hemisphere there were many points around the lesion site (in areas 4γ and 3a) from which movements could not be evoked. In some areas distant from the lesion site (e.g. area 6aγ) the mean thresholds for evoking forelimb movements were significantly elevated. Mean thresholds for evoking hindlimb and facial movements were not different from before. In the contralateral hemisphere mean thresholds for evoking forelimb, but not hindlimb or facial movements, were significantly elevated in several sensorimotor areas (area 4γ, 6aγ and 3a). Mean thresholds for evoking forelimb movements appeared to progressively increase during the time of study. Minimal currents required to evoke forelimb movements from the cerebral cortex increase (possibly progressively) following a lesion of the forelimb representation in the primary motor area, affecting many interconnected motor areas in the hemispheres ipsilateral and contralateral to the lesioned site. This increase in thresholds may play a role in the changes in cortical control of the affected and contralateral limbs following brain lesions and explain the increased sense of effort required to produce movements. 相似文献

3H-Spiroperidol labels dopamine receptors in rats striatum but in frontal cortex and hippocampus 3H-spiroperidol labels serotonin receptors. The agonists 3H-ADTN and 3H-apomorphine label rat striatal dopamine receptors. Comparison with calf striatal binding indicates a species difference in 3H-apomorphine binding. Drug displacement and lesion studies suggest that in the rat 3H-apomorphine labels two distinct dopamine receptors, one associated with the dopamine-sensitive adenylate cyclase and the other with presynaptic dopamine receptors also labeled by 3H-spiroperidol. Whereas divalent cations increase specific dopamine receptor binding of 3H-agonists and 3H-antagonists, 3H-agonist binding is selectively decreased by some guanyl nucleotides. 相似文献

Methamphetamine (meth) is an illicit psychostimulant that is abused throughout the world. Repeated passive injections of the drug given in a single day or over a few days cause significant and long-term depletion of dopamine and serotonin in the mammalian brain. Because meth self-administration may better mimic some aspects of human drug-taking behaviors, we examined to what extent this pattern of drug treatment might also result in damage to monoaminergic systems in the brain. Rats were allowed to intravenously self-administer meth (yoked control rats received vehicle) 15 hours per day for 8 days before being euthanized at either 24 hours or at 7 and 14 days after cessation of drug taking. Meth self-administration by the rats was associated with a progressive escalation of daily drug intake to 14 mg/kg per day. Animals that self-administered meth exhibited dose-dependent decreases in striatal dopamine levels during the period of observation. In addition, there were significant reductions in the levels of striatal dopamine transporter and tyrosine hydroxylase proteins. There were also significant decreases in the levels of dopamine, dopamine transporter, and tyrosine hydroxylase in the cortex. In contrast, meth self-administration caused only transient decreases in norepinephrine and serotonin levels in the two brain regions, with these values returning to normal at seven days after cessation of drug taking. Importantly, meth self-administration was associated with significant dose-dependent increases in glial fibrillary acidic protein in both striatum and cortex, with these changes being of greater magnitude in the striatum. These results suggest that meth self-administration by rats is associated with long-term biochemical changes that are reminiscent of those observed in post-mortem brain tissues of chronic meth abusers. 相似文献

Effects of transient, global, cerebral ischemia on striatal extracellular dopamine, serotonin and their metabolites 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
Rat striatal extracellular fluid levels of dopamine, serotonin, 3-methoxytyramine (3-MT), 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC), homovanillic acid (HVA) and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) were measured before, during and after transient, global cerebral ischemia in awake rats using in vivo brain microdialysis. Before ischemia, extracellular levels of dopamine, DOPAC, HVA and 5-HIAA were detectable and consistent from sample to sample. During cerebral ischemia, there was a large increase in extracellular dopamine levels and a decrease in the extracellular levels of DOPAC, HVA, and 5-HIAA. During reperfusion, dopamine levels returned to normal as did those of DOPAC, HVA and 5-HIAA. Dialysate serotonin and 3-methoxytyramine concentrations were below detection limits except for samples collected during ischemia and early reperfusion. 相似文献

Sustained nigrostriatal dopamine depletion increases the serine/threonine phosphorylation of multiple striatal proteins that play a role in corticostriatal synaptic plasticity, including Thr(286) phosphorylation of calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase IIalpha (CaMKIIalpha). Mechanisms underlying these changes are unclear, but protein phosphatases play a critical role in the acute modulation of striatal protein phosphorylation. Here we show that dopamine depletion for periods ranging from 3 weeks to 10 months significantly reduces the total activity of protein phosphatase (PP) 1, but not of PP2A, in whole lysates of rat striatum, as measured using multiple substrates, including Thr(286)-autophosphorylated CaMKIIalpha. Striatal PP1 activity is partially inhibited by a fragment of the PP1-binding protein neurabin-I, Nb-(146-493), because of the selective inhibition of the PP1gamma(1) isoform. The fraction of PP1 activity that is insensitive to Nb-(146-493) was unaffected by dopamine depletion, demonstrating that dopamine depletion specifically reduces the activity of PP1 isoforms that are sensitive to Nb-(146-493) (i.e. PP1gamma(1)). However, total striatal levels of PP1gamma(1) or any other PP1 isoform were unaffected by dopamine depletion, and our previous studies showed that total levels of the PP1 regulatory/targeting proteins DARPP-32, spinophilin, and neurabin were also unchanged. Rather, co-immunoprecipitation experiments demonstrated that dopamine depletion increases the association of PP1gamma(1) with spinophilin in striatal extracts. In combination, these data demonstrate that striatal dopamine depletion inhibits a specific synaptic phosphatase by increasing PP1gamma(1) interaction with spinophilin, perhaps contributing to hyperphosphorylation of synaptic proteins and disruptions of synaptic plasticity and/or dendritic morphology. 相似文献

N-Acetylaspartate, a marker of both cellular dysfunction and neuronal loss: its relevance to studies of acute brain injury 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

To evaluate the contribution of cellular dysfunction and neuronal loss to brain N-acetylaspartate (NAA) depletion, NAA was measured in brain tissue by HPLC and UV detection in rats subjected to cerebral injury, associated or not with cell death. When lesion was induced by intracarotid injection of microspheres, the fall in NAA was related to the degree of embolization and to the severity of brain oedema. When striatal lesion was induced by local injection of malonate, the larger the lesion volume, the higher the NAA depletion. However, reduction of brain oedema and striatal lesion by treatment with the lipophilic iron chelator dipyridyl (20 mg/kg, 1 h before and every 8 h after embolization) and the inducible nitric oxide synthase inhibitor aminoguanidine (100 mg/kg given 1 h before malonate and then every 9 h), respectively, failed to ameliorate the fall in NAA. Moreover, after systemic administration of 3-nitropropionic acid, a marked reversible fall in NAA striatal content was observed despite the lack of tissue necrosis. Overall results show that cellular dysfunction can cause higher reductions in NAA level than neuronal loss, thus making of NAA quantification a potential tool for visualizing the penumbra area in stroke patients. 相似文献

Abstract: Intrastriatal injection of the glutamate agonist kainic acid (KA) in rats has been used to produce an animal model to investigate the mechanism of acetylcholine and GABA cell death associated with Huntington's disease. In the present study, the time course of low (10−5 M ) and high (5 × 10−3 M ) concentrations of KA on striatal dopamine and serotonin release was studied in freely moving rats by using in vivo voltammetry. The response to low concentrations of KA varied between animals, either increasing dopamine release during the injection or increasing dopamine and serotonin after the injection for an extended time, suggesting that 10−5 KA is near the threshold for KA toxicity in the striatum in rats. High concentrations of KA suppressed dopamine release during injection, with both dopamine and serotonin release increasing and remaining elevated for 1–4 and 7–21 days, respectively. KA-induced changes were inhibited by 6-cyano-7-nitroquinoxaline-2,3-dione and bicuculline increased the release of dopamine but not serotonin. These findings suggest that KA-induced changes in dopamine release resulted from a disinhibition of dopamine neurons due to KA-mediated toxicity of striatal GABA neurons. An alternate possibility is that the change in dopamine and serotonin release may have arisen from a functional modification or degeneration of presynaptic terminals. 相似文献
