Reduction of striatal dopaminergic neurotransmission elevates striatal proenkephalin mRNA.
Dopamine-containing neurons have been shown to make direct contact with enkephalin-like immunoreactive neurons in the striatum of rat brain (Kubota et al., 1986). Chronic blockade of dopaminergic neurotransmission with the neuroleptic drug haloperidol has been reported to increase the striatal concentration of methionineenkephalin and proenkephalin m R N A (ENK mRNA) (Tang et al., 1983). We inv...
متن کاملStriatal dopamine neurotransmission: regulation of release and uptake.
Dopamine (DA) transmission is governed by processes that regulate release from axonal boutons in the forebrain and the somatodendritic compartment in midbrain, and by clearance by the DA transporter, diffusion, and extracellular metabolism. We review how axonal DA release is regulated by neuronal activity and by autoreceptors and heteroreceptors, and address how quantal release events are regul...
متن کاملmTORC2/rictor signaling disrupts dopamine-dependent behaviors via defects in striatal dopamine neurotransmission.
Disrupted neuronal protein kinase B (Akt) signaling has been associated with dopamine (DA)-related neuropsychiatric disorders, including schizophrenia, a devastating mental illness. We hypothesize that proper DA neurotransmission is therefore dependent upon intact neuronal Akt function. Akt is activated by phosphorylation of two key residues: Thr308 and Ser473. Blunted Akt phosphorylation at Se...
متن کاملR1441C mutation in LRRK2 impairs dopaminergic neurotransmission in mice.
Dominantly inherited mutations in leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) are a common genetic cause of Parkinson's disease (PD). The importance of the R1441 residue in the pathogenesis is highlighted by the identification of three distinct missense mutations. To investigate the pathogenic mechanism underlying LRRK2 dysfunction, we generated a knockin (KI) mouse in which the R1441C mutation is exp...
متن کاملElevated striatal dopamine function linked to prodromal signs of schizophrenia.
CONTEXT A major limitation on the development of biomarkers and novel interventions for schizophrenia is that its pathogenesis is unknown. Although elevated striatal dopamine activity is thought to be fundamental to schizophrenia, it is unclear when this neurochemical abnormality develops in relation to the onset of illness and how this relates to the symptoms and neurocognitive impairment seen...
