Abstract
Dopamine (DA), a critical neurotransmitter of both the central and peripheral nerve system, plays important roles in a series of biological processes. Dysfunction of dopaminergic signalling may lead to a series of developmental disorders, including attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, autism and schizophrenia. However, the exact roles of dopaminergic signalling in these diseases are far from fully understood. We analyse the roles of dopaminergic signalling in multiple physiological and pathological processes, focusing on brain development and related disorders. By summarizing current research in this area, we provide guidance for future studies. This review seeks to deepen our understanding of dopaminergic signalling in developmental disorders, which may offer clues for developing more effective therapeutic drugs.

Comp Biochem Physiol C Toxicol Pharmacol 2019; 223:115-123.

Abstract
Reserpine is widely used for treatment of hypertension and schizophrenia. As a specific inhibitor of monoamine transporters, reserpine is known to deplete monoamine neurotransmitters and cause decreased movement symptoms. However, how zebrafish larvae respond to reserpine treatment is not well studied. Here we show that swimming distance and average velocity are significantly reduced after reserpine exposure under various stimulatory conditions. Using liquid chromatograph-mass spectrometer analysis, decreased levels of monoamines (e.g. dopamine, noradrenaline, and serotonin) were detected in reserpine-treated larvae. Moreover, reserpine treatment significantly reduced the number of dopaminergic neurons, which was identified with th (Tyrosine Hydroxylase) in situ hybridization in the preoptic area. Interestingly, dopaminergic neuron development-associated genes, such as otpa, otpb, wnt1, wnt3, wnt5 and manf, were downregulated in reserpine treated larvae. Our data indicates that 2 mg/L reserpine exposure induces dopaminergic neuron damage in the brain, demonstrating a chemical induced depression-like model in zebrafish larvae for future drug development.
