Correlation between dopamine receptor D2 expression and presence of abnormal involuntary movements in Wistar rats with hemiparkinsonism and dyskinesia
Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterised by motor alterations, which are commonly treated with l-DOPA. However, long-term l-DOPA use may cause dyskinesia. Although the pathogenic mechanism of l-DOPA-induced dyskinesia is unclear, the condition has been associated with alterations in dopamine r...

However, long-term l-DOPA use may cause dyskinesia. Although the pathogenic mechanism of l-DOPA-induced dyskinesia is unclear, the condition has been associated with alterations in dopamine receptors, among which D2 receptors (D2R) have received little attention. This study aims to: (i) develop and standardise an experimental model of l-DOPA-induced dyskinesia in rats with hemiparkinsonism; and (ii) evaluate the correlation between D2R expression and presence of abnormal involuntary movements (AIM). We allocated 21 male Wistar rats into 3 groups: intact controls, lesioned rats (with neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA)), and dyskinetic rats (injected with l-DOPA for 19 days). Sensorimotor impairment was assessed with behavioural tests. Dyskinetic rats gradually developed AIMs during the treatment period; front leg AIMs were more severe and locomotor AIMs less severe (P < .05). All AIMs were significantly evident from day 5 and persisted until the last day of injection. D2R density was greater in the striatum and the medial anterior brain of the lesioned and dyskinetic rats than in those of controls. Our results suggest an association between D2R expression and locomotor AIMs. We conclude that RD2 is involved in l-DOPA-induced dyskinesia.

Se utilizaron 21 ratas Wistar macho asignadas a 3 grupos: control intacto, lesionados (con la neurotoxina 6-OHDA) y lesionados disquinéticos (inyectados con L-DOPA durante 19 días). Los reactivos biológicos se sometieron a pruebas comportamentales para evaluar el deterioro sensoriomotor. Los animales del grupo disquinético desarrollaron de forma gradual MIA durante el tratamiento, siendo mayores los MIA de miembro anterior y menores los de tipo locomotor (p < 0,05). Todos los MIA fueron significativamente evidentes a partir del día 5 y se mantuvieron hasta el último día de inyección. Además, se pudo evidenciar incremento en la densidad del RD2 en el estriado y el cerebro anterior medial en los grupos lesionados con respecto al control, así como también una posible asociación entre la expresión del RD2 y MIA de tipo locomotor.
