Response to Dopaminergic Drugs After Fetal Tissue Transplantation. Preliminary Report
319 From 1987 to the present our Cuban Centre has performed more than 30 foetal nigral transplants to the striatum in patients with Parkinson's disease. To study the improvement reported in dopaminergic drug response and the decrease L-Dopa daily dose together with better motor performance /1/, the present pharmacological trial was applied to four Parkinsonian patients, who underwent stereotact...
متن کاملEffect of tetraethylammonium and B vitamins group on the efficacy of cell replacement therapy in the treatment of Parkinson\'s disease in the 6-hydroxydopamine animal model
Introduction: Transplantation of embryonic ventral mesencephalic (VM) dopamine neurons into the striatum is a currently explored therapeutic strategy for treatment of patients with patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). However, this strategy has been limited with poor cell survival, generally ranging from 5-20%. In this study, we investigated the effect of potassium channel blocker of tetr...
متن کاملFoetal Cell Transplantation for Parkinson's Disease: Focus on Graft-Induced Dyskinesia
Transplantation of dopamine- (DA-) rich foetal ventral mesencephalic cells emerged as a promising therapy for Parkinson's disease (PD), as it allowed significant improvement of motor symptoms in several PD patients in open-label studies. However, double-blind clinical trials have been largely disappointing. The general agreement in the field is that the lack of standardization of tissue collect...
متن کاملImplanted reuptake-deficient or wild-type dopaminergic neurons improve ON l-dopa dyskinesias without OFF-dyskinesias in a rat model of Parkinson's disease
OFF-L-dopa dyskinesias have been a surprising side-effect of intrastriatal foetal ventral mesencephalic transplantation in patients with Parkinson's disease. It has been proposed that excessive and unregulated dopaminergic stimulation of host post-synaptic striatal neurons by the grafts could be responsible for these dyskinesias. To address this issue we transplanted foetal dopaminergic neurons...
متن کاملTransplantation site influences the phenotypic differentiation of dopamine neurons in ventral mesencephalic grafts in Parkinsonian rats
Foetal midbrain progenitors have been shown to survive, give rise to different classes of dopamine neurons and integrate into the host brain alleviating Parkinsonian symptoms following transplantation in patients and animal models of the disease. Dopamine neuron subpopulations in the midbrain, namely A9 and A10, can be identified anatomically based on cell morphology and ascending axonal projec...
