Dopamine-sensitive adenylate cyclase occurs in a region of substantia nigra containing dopaminergic dendrites.

چکیده
The zona reticulata, the subdivision of the substantia nigra containing dendrites of the dopaminergic nigro-neostriatal neurons, contains dopamine-sensitive adenylate cyclase activity. This nigral dopamine receptor is similar to the striatal dopamine receptor. These and previous data suggest a physiological role (or roles) for dopamine in the substantia nigra.

Enhancement of dopamine-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity in rat caudate after lesions in substantia nigra: evidence for denervation supersensitivity.
Unilateral radiofrequency lesions or chemical lesions with 6-hydroxydopamine were produced in the substantia nigra of rat brain in order to destroy dopaminergic innervations to caudate nucleus and thereby to produce functional denervation supersensitivity. Both types of lesions resulted in enhanced stimulation of caudate adenylate cyclase (EC 4.6.1.1) activity by dopamine at all dopamine concen...
متن کاملDARPP-32, a dopamine- and adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate-regulated phosphoprotein enriched in dopamine-innervated brain regions. III. Immunocytochemical localization.
Immunocytochemical studies have been carried out to determine the regional and cellular distribution of DARPP-32, a protein the phosphorylation of which can be regulated by dopamine and cAMP in intact cells. These immunocytochemical studies indicate tha DARPP-32 is localized primarily in those brain regions enriched in dopaminergic nerve terminals. Moreover, the staining pattern supports the co...
متن کامل6-Hydroxydopamine lesions of rat substantia nigra up-regulate dopamine-induced phosphorylation of the cAMP-response element-binding protein in striatal neurons.
Destruction of the substantia nigra produces striatal D1 dopamine receptor supersensitivity without increasing receptor number or affinity, thus implicating postreceptor mechanisms. The nature of these mechanisms is unknown. Increased striatal c-fos expression ipsilateral to a unilateral lesion of the substantia nigra in rats treated with appropriate dopamine agonists provides a cellular marker...
متن کاملEvidence that L-dopa-induced rotational behavior is dependent on both striatal and nigral mechanisms.
Parkinson's disease results from the death of the dopamine-containing neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNC). This is accompanied by a loss of dopamine in brain regions, such as the corpus striatum, which receives input from dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra (SN). Since the corpus striatum is the primary target for these dopaminergic neurons, it has long been thought tha...

Background and Objective: Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease after Alzheimer's disease that affects 3% of the population. PD involves a progressive degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc) and subsequent loss of dopamine. Dopamine depletion leads to movement dysfunction and is accompanied with tremor, rigid muscle...
