Reduced Midbrain Dopamine Neuron Number in the Adult Non-human Primate Brain after Fetal Radiation Exposure.

Abstract:

:Early gestation is a neurodevelopmental period that is especially vulnerable to environmental insult and one in which neurogenesis features prominently. Prenatal perturbation during early gestation has been linked to neuropsychiatric illnesses such as autism and schizophrenia, and severe environmental insult during this period can result in profound mental impairment. Midbrain dopamine neurons are generated during early gestation and play a key role in the motor, cognitive and reward circuitries implicated in neuropsychiatric disease and addiction. This study examined the impact of curtailing neurogenesis in early gestation on neuron number in the midbrain dopamine group, i.e., the substantia nigra and contiguous ventral tegmental area. Rhesus macaque monkeys were exposed in utero on embryonic days 39-41 to x-irradiation (3-4 exposures of 50 cGy over 3-7 days totalling <200 cGy) and allowed to mature to full adulthood. Stereologic cell counts of tyrosine hydroxylase-positive neurons in the midbrain dopamine group were performed in adult monkeys, as were measurements of somal size. Mean total neuron number in the irradiated monkeys was significantly reduced on average by 33% compared to that of the control group. Somal size did not differ between the groups, suggesting that the integrity of survivor populations was not impacted. Reduced midbrain dopamine neuron number in fetally irradiated, adult monkeys indicates that radiation exposure during the critical period of neurogenesis results in an enduring reduction of this population and underscores the susceptibility of early neurodevelopmental processes to irreversible damage from environmental exposures.
