The study found that a dosing regimen of 10 mg/kg of L-dopa induced LID in all animals and led to significant angiogenesis in the striatum and substantia nigra. The 2 mg/kg treatment resulted in LID in 6 out of 12 rats, with LID severity increasing linearly over the treatment period. Dopamine-induced vasodilatory responses were exaggerated only in rats showing LID-like signs.
Background Levodopa (l-dopa) is the frontline treatment for motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease. However, prolonged use of l-dopa results in a motor complication known as levodopa-induced dyskinesia (LID) in similar to 50% of patients over 5 years. Objectives We investigated neurovascular abnormalities in a rat model of LID by examining changes in angiogenesis and dopamine-dependent vessel diameter changes. Methods Differences in striatal and nigral angiogenesis in a parkinsonian rat model (6-OHDA lesion) treated with 2 doses of l-dopa (saline, 2, and 10 mg/kg/day subcutaneous l-dopa treatment for 22 days) by 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine (BrdU)-RECA1 co-immunofluorescence. Difference in the vasomotor response to dopamine was examined with 2-photon laser scanning microscopy and Dodt gradient imaging. Results We found that the 10 mg/kg l-dopa dosing regimen induced LID in all animals (n = 5) and induced significant angiogenesis in the striatum and substantia nigra. In contrast, the 2 mg/kg treatment induced LID in 6 out of 12 rats and led to linearly increasing LID severity over the 22-day treatment period, making this a promising model for studying LID progression longitudinally. However, no significantly different level of angiogenesis was observed between LID versus non-LID animals. Dopamine-induced vasodilatory responses were exaggerated only in rats that show LID-like signs compared to the rest of groups. Additionally, in juvenile rats, we showed that DA-induced vasodilation is preceded by increased Ca2+ release in the adjacent astrocytes. Conclusion This finding supports that astrocytic dopamine signaling controls striatal blood flow bidirectionally, and the balance is altered in LID. (c) 2020 The Authors.
