Acute and subchronic MPTP administration differentially affects striatal glutamate synaptic function.

Abstract：

:We previously reported that 1 month following unilateral loss (>95%) of striatal dopamine, there is an increase in striatal glutamate function as measured by in vivo microdialysis and quantitative immuno-gold electron microscopy, Neuroscience 88, 1-16). The goal of this study was to determine the effect of bilateral loss of striatal dopamine on striatal glutamate function following acute or subchronic administration of the neurotoxin 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) to C57/B6J mice. Animals were administered either single injections (ip) of 30 mg/kg/day for 7 days (subchronically treated group) or 20 mg/kg x 4 doses every 2 h (acutely treated group) of the toxin or saline. One month following the first injection, there was a 44 and 65% loss in the relative density of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) immunolabeling within the dorsolateral striatum in the subchronically and acutely MPTP-treated groups compared to the saline group, respectively. There was a decrease in the basal level of extracellular glutamate within the striatum in the subchronically MPTP-treated animals compared to an increase in the acutely treated group in relationship to the saline group. Ultrastructurally, only in the acutely MPTP-treated group was there a decrease in the density of glutamate immunolabeling within nerve terminals associated with an asymmetrical synaptic contact in the dorsolateral striatum compared to either the subchronic or saline groups. In addition, there was a decrease in the relative density of GluR-2/3 subunit immunolabeling within the dorsolateral striatum in the acute MPTP compared to the saline group. These data indicate that differences in striatal glutamate function appear to be associated with the dosing interval of MPTP administration and the variable loss of striatal TH immunolabeling.
