Fecha de publicación: | 2008 | Editor: | John Wiley & Sons | Citación: | European Journal of Neuroscience 27 (3): 580-592 (2008) | Resumen: | Tyrosine hydroxylase (TH)-immunoreactive (ir) neurones are detected in the striatum of animals after dopamine depletion and also in human parkinsonian patients. Although there is extensive evidence for TH-ir neurones in the lesioned rodent striatum, there are few details regarding the molecular phenotype of these neurones, regulation of their TH expression after l-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-DOPA) treatment and their function. In the present study, we examined the time-course of appearance of TH-ir neurones in the mouse striatum after 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) lesion and determined their molecular phenotype. We found that TH-ir neurones appeared in the striatum as early as 3 days after a 6-OHDA lesion. By 1 week after the lesion, the number of TH-ir neurones started to decrease and this decrease progressed significantly over time. Treatment with L-DOPA increased both the number of TH-ir neurones and the intensity of their immunolabelling. The TH-ir neurones that appear after the 6-OHDA lesion in the striatum are not newly generated cells as they did not incorporate 5-bromo-2-deoxyuridine. We found that the vast majority of TH-ir neurones colocalized with dynorphin and enkephalin, suggesting that they are projection neurones of the direct and indirect striatal output pathways. TH-ir neurones did not express the dopamine transporter but half of them expressed amino acid decarboxylase, an enzyme required for dopamine synthesis. Finally, striatal TH-ir neurones are functionally active, expressing the neuronal activation marker FosB in response to L-DOPA treatment. Promotion of these striatal TH-ir neurones may be beneficial in Parkinson's disease, particularly in the early stages when dopamine denervation is incomplete. | Versión del editor: | http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1460-9568.2008.06040.x/pdf | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10261/36251 | DOI: | 10.1111/j.1460-9568.2008.06040.x | E-ISSN: | 1460-9568 |
