Neurophysiological treatment effects of mesdopetam, pimavanserin and clozapine in a rodent model of Parkinson's disease psychosis. Neurotherapeutics 2024; 21:e00334.

Abstract
Psychosis in Parkinson's disease is a common phenomenon associated with poor outcomes. To clarify the pathophysiology of this condition and the mechanisms of antipsychotic treatments, we have here characterized the neurophysiological brain states induced by clozapine, pimavanserin, and the novel prospective antipsychotic mesdopetam in a rodent model of Parkinson's disease psychosis, based on chronic dopaminergic denervation by 6-OHDA lesions, levodopa priming, and the acute administration of an NMDA antagonist. Parallel recordings of local field potentials from eleven cortical and sub-cortical regions revealed shared neurophysiological treatment effects for the three compounds, despite their different pharmacological profiles, involving reversal of features associated with the psychotomimetic state, such as a reduction of aberrant high-frequency oscillations in prefrontal structures together with a decrease of abnormal synchronization between different brain regions. Other drug-induced neurophysiological features were more specific to each treatment, affecting network oscillation frequencies and entropy, pointing to discrete differences in mechanisms of action. These findings indicate that neurophysiological characterization of brain states is particularly informative when evaluating therapeutic mechanisms in conditions involving symptoms that are difficult to assess in rodents such as psychosis, and that mesdopetam should be further explored as a potential novel antipsychotic treatment option for Parkinson psychosis.

Abstract
L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia (LID) remains a major complication of Parkinson's disease management for which better therapies are necessary. The contribution of the striatonigral direct pathway to LID is widely acknowledged but whether the striatopallidal pathway is involved remains debated. Selective optogenetic stimulation of striatonigral axon terminals induces dyskinesia in mice rendered hemiparkinsonian with the toxin 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA). Here we show that optogenetically-induced dyskinesia is increased by the D2-type dopamine receptor agonist quinpirole. Although the quinpirole effect may be mediated by D2 receptor stimulation in striatopallidal neurons, alternative mechanisms may be responsible as well. To selectively modulate the striatopallidal pathway, we selectively expressed channelrhodopsin-2 (ChR2) in D2 receptor expressing neurons by crossing D2-Cre and ChR2-flox mice. The animals were rendered hemiparkinsonian and implanted with an optic fiber at the ipsilateral external globus pallidus (GPe). Stimulation of ChR2 at striatopallidal axon terminals reduced LID and also general motility during the off L-DOPA state, without modifying the pro-motor effect of low doses of L-DOPA producing mild or no dyskinesia. Overall, the present study shows that D2-type dopamine receptors and the striatopallidal pathway modulate dyskinesia and suggest that targeting striatopallidal axon terminals at the GPe may have therapeutic potential in the management of LID.

Abstract
Many patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) experiencing l-DOPA-induced dyskinesia (LID) receive adjunct treatment with dopamine agonists, whose functional impact on LID is unknown. We set out to compare temporal and topographic profiles of abnormal involuntary movements (AIMs) after l-DOPA dose challenges including or not the dopamine agonist ropinirole. Twenty-five patients with PD and a history of dyskinesias were sequentially administered either l-DOPA alone (150% of usual morning dose) or an equipotent combination of l-DOPA and ropinirole in random order. Involuntary movements were assessed by two blinded raters prior and every 30 min after drug dosing using the Clinical Dyskinesia Rating Scale (CDRS). A sensor-recording smartphone was secured to the patients' abdomen during the test sessions. The two raters' CDRS scores were highly reliable and concordant with models of hyperkinesia presence and severity trained on accelerometer data. The dyskinesia time curves differed between treatments as the l-DOPA-ropinirole combination resulted in lower peak severity but longer duration of the AIMs compared with l-DOPA alone. At the peak of the AIMs curve (60-120 min), l-DOPA induced a significantly higher total hyperkinesia score, whereas in the end phase (240-270 min), both hyperkinesia and dystonia tended to be more severe after the l-DOPA-ropinirole combination (though reaching statistical significance only for the item, arm dystonia). Our results pave the way for the introduction of a combined l-DOPA-ropinirole challenge test in the early clinical evaluation of antidyskinetic treatments. Furthermore, we propose a machine-learning method to predict CDRS hyperkinesia severity using accelerometer data.

Abstract
Dopamine receptors are classified into five subtypes, with D2R and D3R playing a crucial role in regulating mood, motivation, reward, and movement. Whereas D2R are distributed widely across the brain, including regions responsible for motor functions, D3R are primarily found in specific areas related to cognitive and emotional functions, such as the nucleus accumbens, limbic system, and prefrontal cortex. Despite their high sequence homology and similar signaling pathways, D2R and D3R have distinct regulatory properties involving desensitization, endocytosis, posttranslational modification, and interactions with other cellular components. In vivo, D3R is closely associated with behavioral sensitization, which leads to increased dopaminergic responses. Behavioral sensitization is believed to result from D3R desensitization, which removes the inhibitory effect of D3R on related behaviors. Whereas D2R maintains continuous signal transduction through agonist-induced receptor phosphorylation, arrestin recruitment, and endocytosis, which recycle and resensitize desensitized receptors, D3R rarely undergoes agonist-induced endocytosis and instead is desensitized after repeated agonist exposure. In addition, D3R undergoes more extensive posttranslational modifications, such as glycosylation and palmitoylation, which are needed for its desensitization. Overall, a series of biochemical settings more closely related to D3R could be linked to D3R-mediated behavioral sensitization.

Abstract
The heteromer composed of dopamine D1 and D3 receptors (D1R-D3R) has been defined as a structure able to trigger Erk1/2 and Akt signaling in a G protein-independent, beta-arrestin 1-dependent way that is physiologically expressed in the ventral striatum and is likely involved in the control of locomotor activity. Indeed, abnormal levels of D1R-D3R heteromer in the dorsal striatum have been correlated with the development of L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia (LID) in Parkinson's disease patients, a motor complication associated with striatal D1R signaling, thus requiring Gs protein and PKA activity to activate Erk1/2. Therefore, to clarify the role of the D1R/D3R heteromer in LID, we investigated the signaling pathway induced by the heteromer using transfected cells and primary mouse striatal neurons. Collectively, we found that in both the cell models, D1R/D3R heteromer-induced activation of Erk1/2 exclusively required the D1R molecular effectors, such as Gs protein and PKA, with the contribution of the phosphatase Shp-2 and beta-arrestins, indicating that heterodimerization with the D3R abolishes the specific D3R-mediated signaling but strongly allows D1R signals. Therefore, while in physiological conditions the D1R/D3R heteromer could represent a mechanism that strengthens the D1R activity, its pathological expression may contribute to the abnormal PKA-Shp-2-Erk1/2 pathway connected with LID.

Abstract
Over three decades of evidence indicate that dopamine (DA) D3 receptors (D3R) are involved in the control of drug-seeking behavior and may play an important role in the pathophysiology of substance use disorders (SUD). The expectation that a selective D3R antagonist/partial agonist would be efficacious for the treatment of SUD is based on the following key observations. First, D3R are distributed in strategic areas belonging to the mesolimbic DA system such as the ventral striatum, midbrain, and ventral pallidum, which have been associated with behaviors controlled by the presentation of drug-associated cues. Second, repeated exposure to drugs of abuse produces neuroadaptations in the D3R system. Third, the synthesis and characterization of highly potent and selective D3R antagonists/partial agonists have further strengthened the role of the D3R in SUD. Based on extensive preclinical and preliminary clinical evidence, the D3R shows promise as a target for the development of pharmacotherapies for SUD as reflected by their potential to (1) regulate the motivation to self-administer drugs and (2) disrupt the responsiveness to drug-associated stimuli that play a key role in reinstatement of drug-seeking behavior triggered by re-exposure to the drug itself, drug-associated environmental cues, or stress. The availability of PET ligands to assess clinically relevant receptor occupancy by selective D3R antagonists/partial agonists, the definition of reliable dosing, and the prospect of using human laboratory models may further guide the design of clinical proof of concept studies. Pivotal clinical trials for more rapid progression of this target toward regulatory approval are urgently required. Finally, the discovery that highly selective D3R antagonists, such as R-VK4-116 and R-VK4-40, do not adversely affect peripheral biometrics or cardiovascular effects alone or in the presence of oxycodone or cocaine suggests that this class of drugs has great potential in safely treating psychostimulant and/or opioid use disorders.

Abstract
A main rationale for the role of G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) heteromers as targets for drug development is the putative ability of selective ligands for specific GPCRs to change their pharmacological properties upon GPCR heteromerization. The present study provides a proof of concept for this rationale by demonstrating that heteromerization of dopamine D1 and D3 receptors (D1R and D3R) influences the pharmacological properties of three structurally similar selective dopamine D3R ligands, the phenylpiperazine derivatives PG01042, PG01037 and VK4-116. By using D1R-D3R heteromer-disrupting peptides, it could be demonstrated that the three D3R ligands display different D1R-D3R heteromer-dependent pharmacological properties: PG01042, acting as G protein-biased agonist, counteracted D1R-mediated signaling in the D1R-D3R heteromer; PG01037, acting as a D3R antagonist cross-antagonized D1R-mediated signaling in the D1R-D3R heteromer; and VK4-116 specifically acted as a ß-arrestin-biased agonist in the D1R-D3R heteromer. Molecular dynamics simulations predicted potential molecular mechanisms mediating these qualitatively different pharmacological properties of the selective D3R ligands that are dependent on D1R-D3R heteromerization. The results of in vitro experiments were paralleled by qualitatively different pharmacological properties of the D3R ligands in vivo. The results supported the involvement of D1R-D3R heteromers in the locomotor activation by D1R agonists in reserpinized mice and L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia in rats, highlighting the D1R-D3R heteromer as a main pharmacological target for L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia in Parkinson's disease. More generally, the present study implies that when suspecting its pathogenetic role, a GPCR heteromer, and not its individual GPCR units, should be considered as main target for drug development.

Abstract
The discovery of the D3 receptor (D3R) subtypes of dopamine (DA) has generated an understandable increase in interest in the field of neurological diseases, especially Parkinson’s disease (PD). Indeed, although DA replacement therapy with l-DOPA has provided an effective treatment for patients with PD, it is responsible for invalidating abnormal involuntary movements, known as L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia, which constitutes a serious limitation of the use of this therapy. Of particular interest is the finding that chronic l-DOPA treatment can trigger the expression of D1R–D3R heteromeric interactions in the dorsal striatum. The D3R is expressed in various tissues of the central nervous system, including the striatum. Compelling research has focused on striatal D3Rs in the context of PD and motor side effects, including dyskinesia, occurring with DA replacement therapy. Therefore, this review will briefly describe the basal ganglia (BG) and the DA transmission within these brain regions, before going into more detail with regard to the role of D3Rs in PD and their participation in the current treatments. Numerous studies have also highlighted specific interactions between D1Rs and D3Rs that could promote dyskinesia. Finally, this review will also address the possibility that D3Rs located outside of the BG may mediate some of the effects of DA replacement therapy.

Abstract
When the rat D3 dopamine receptor (D3R) was cloned and the distribution of its mRNA examined in 1990-1991, it attracted attention due to its peculiar distribution in the brain quite different from that of its closest relative, the D2 receptor. In the rat brain, the D3R mRNA is enriched in the limbic striatum as opposed to the D2 receptor, which is highly expressed in the motor striatal areas. Later studies in the primate and human brain confirmed relative enrichment of the D3R in the limbic striatum but also demonstrated higher abundance of the D3R in the primate as compared to the rodent brain. Additionally, in the rodent brain, the D3R in the dorsal striatum appears to be co-expressed with the D1 dopamine receptor-bearing striatal neurons giving rise to the direct output striatal pathway, although the picture is less clear with respect to the nucleus accumbens. In contrast, in the primate striatum, the D3R co-localizes with the D2 receptor throughout the basal ganglia as well as in extrastriatal brain areas. The relative abundance of the D3R in the limbic striatum, its output structures, secondary targets, and some of the other connected limbic territories may underpin its role in reward, drug dependence, and impulse control. Selective expression of D3R in the brain proliferative areas may point to its important role in the neural development as well as in neurodevelopmental abnormalities associated with schizophrenia and other developmental brain disorders.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a complex multisystem, chronic and so far incurable disease with significant unmet medical needs. The incidence of PD increases with aging and the expected burden will continue to escalate with our aging population. Since its discovery in the 1961 levodopa has remained the gold standard pharmacotherapy for PD. However, the progressive nature of the neurodegenerative process in and beyond the nigrostriatal system causes a multitude of side effects, including levodopa-induced dyskinesia within 5 years of therapy. Attenuating dyskinesia has been a significant challenge in the clinical management of PD. We report on a small molecule that eliminates the expression of levodopa-induced dyskinesia and significantly improves PD-like symptoms. The lead compound PD13R we discovered is a dopamine D3 receptor partial agonist with high affinity and selectivity, orally active and with desirable drug-like properties. Future studies are aimed at developing this lead compound for treating PD patients with dyskinesia.

Abstract
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) heterodimers represent new entities with unique pharmacological, signalling, and trafficking properties, with specific distribution restricted to those cells where the two interacting receptors are co-expressed. Like other GPCR, dopamine D3 receptors (D3R) directly interact with various receptors to form heterodimers: data showing the D3R physical interaction with both GPCR and non-GPCR receptors have been provided including D3R interaction with other dopamine receptors. The aim of this chapter is to summarize current knowledge of the distinct roles of heterodimers involving D3R, focusing on the D3R interaction with the dopamine D1 receptor (D1R): the D1R-D3R heteromer, in fact, has been postulated in both ventral and motor striatum. Interestingly, since both D1R and D3R have been implicated in several pathological conditions, including schizophrenia, motor dysfunctions, and substance use disorders, the D1R-D3R heteromer may represent a potential drug target for the treatment of these diseases.

Abstract
Before 1990, the multiplicity of dopamine receptors beyond D1 and D2 had remained a controversial concept, despite its substantial clinical implications, at a time when it was widely accepted that dopamine interacted with only two receptor subtypes, termed D1 and D2, differing one from the other by their pharmacological specificity and opposite effects on adenylyl cyclase. It was also generally admitted that the therapeutic efficacy of antipsychotics resulted from blockade of D2 receptors. Thanks to molecular biology techniques, the D3 receptor could be characterized as a distinct molecular entity having a restricted anatomical gene expression and different signaling, which could imply peculiar functions in controlling cognitive and emotional behaviors. Due to the structural similarities of D2 and D3 receptors, the search for D3-selective compounds proved to be difficult, but nevertheless led to the identification of fairly potent and in vitro and in vivo selective compounds. The latter permitted to confirm a role of D3 receptors in motor functions, addiction, cognition, and schizophrenia, which paved the way for the development of new drugs for the treatment of psychiatric disorders.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We recently showed that striatal overexpression of brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) by adeno-associated viral (AAV) vector exacerbated L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia (LID) in 6-OHDA-lesioned rats. An extensive sprouting of striatal serotonergic terminals accompanied this effect, accounting for the increased susceptibility to LID. OBJECTIVE We set to investigate whether the BDNF effect was restricted to LID, or extended to dyskinesia induced by direct D1 receptor agonists. METHODS Unilaterally 6-OHDA-lesioned rats received a striatal injection of an AAV vector to induce BDNF or GFP overexpression. Eight weeks later, animals received daily treatments with a low dose of SKF82958 (0.02 mg/kg s.c.) and development of dyskinesia was evaluated. At the end of the experiment, D1 and D3 receptors expression levels and D1 receptor-dependent signaling pathways were measured in the striatum. RESULTS BDNF overexpression induced significant worsening of dyskinesia induced by SKF82958 compared to the GFP group and increased the expression of D3 receptor at striatal level, even in absence of pharmacological treatment; by contrast, D1 receptor levels were not affected. In BDNF-overexpressing striata, SKF82958 administration resulted in increased levels of D1-D3 receptors co-immunoprecipitation and increased phosphorylation levels of Thr34 DARPP-32 and ERK1/2. CONCLUSION Here we provide evidence for a functional link between BDNF, D3 receptors and D1-D3 receptor close interaction in the augmented susceptibility to dyskinesia in 6-OHDA-lesioned rats. We suggest that D1-D3 receptors interaction may be instrumental in driving the molecular alterations underlying the appearance of dyskinesia; its disruption may be a therapeutic strategy for treating dyskinesia in PD patients.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive and self-propelling neurodegenerative disorder, which is characterized by motor symptoms, such as rigidity, tremor, slowness of movement and problems with gait. These symptoms become worse over time. To date, Dopamine (DA) replacement therapy with 3, 4-dihydroxy-l-phenylalanine (L-DOPA) is still the most effective pharmacotherapy for motor symptoms of PD. Unfortunately, motor fluctuations consisting of wearing-off effect actions and dyskinesia tend to occur in a few years of starting l-DOPA. Currently, l-DOPA-induced dyskinesia (LID) is troublesome and the pathogenesis of LID requires further investigation. Importantly, a new intervention for LID is imminent. Thus, this review mainly summarized the clinical features, risk factors and pathogenesis of LID to provide updatefor the development of therapeutic targets and new approaches for the treatment of LID.

Abstract
In Parkinson's disease, both motor and neuropsychiatric complications unfold as a consequence of both incremental striatal dopaminergic denervation and intensifying long-term dopaminergic treatment. Together, this leads to 'dopaminergic sensitization' steadily increasing motor and behavioral responses to dopaminergic medication that result in the detrimental sequalae of long-term dopaminergic treatment. We review the clinical presentations of 'dopaminergic sensitization', including rebound off and dyskinesia in the motor domain, and neuropsychiatric fluctuations and behavioral addictions with impulse control disorders and dopamine dysregulation syndrome in the neuropsychiatric domain. We summarize state-of-the-art deep brain stimulation, and show that STN-DBS allows dopaminergic medication to be tapered, thus supporting dopaminergic desensitization. In this framework, we develop our integrated debatable viewpoint of "changing gears", that is we suggest rethinking earlier use of subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation, when the first clinical signs of dopaminergic motor or neuropsychiatric complications emerge over the steadily progressive disease course. In this sense, subthalamic deep brain stimulation may help reduce longitudinal motor and neuropsychiatric symptom expression - importantly, not by neuroprotection but by supporting dopaminergic desensitization through postoperative medication reduction. Therefore, we suggest considering STN-DBS early enough before patients encounter potentially irreversible psychosocial consequences of dopaminergic complications, but importantly not before a patient shows first clinical signs of dopaminergic complications. We propose to consider neuropsychiatric dopaminergic complications as a new inclusion criterion in addition to established motor criteria, but this concept will require validation in future clinical trials.

Abstract
L-dopa-induced dyskinesia (LID) is the most frequent motor complication associated with chronic L-dopa treatment in Parkinson’s disease (PD). Recent advances in the understanding of the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying LID suggest that abnormalities in multiple neurotransmitter systems, in addition to dopaminergic nigrostriatal denervation and altered dopamine release and reuptake dynamics at the synaptic level, are involved in LID development. Increased knowledge of neurobiological LID substrates has led to the development of several drug candidates to alleviate this motor complication. However, with the exception of amantadine, none of the pharmacological therapies tested in humans have demonstrated clinically relevant beneficial effects. Therefore, LID management is still one of the most challenging problems in the treatment of PD patients. In this review, we first describe the known pathophysiological mechanisms of LID. We then provide an updated report of experimental pharmacotherapies tested in clinical trials of PD patients and drugs currently under study to alleviate LID. Finally, we discuss available pharmacological LID treatment approaches and offer our opinion of possible issues to be clarified and future therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
Akathisia is an urgent need to move that is associated with treatment with dopamine receptor blocking agents (DRBAs) and with restless legs syndrome (RLS). The pathogenetic mechanism of akathisia has not been resolved. This article proposes that it involves an increased presynaptic dopaminergic transmission in the ventral striatum and concomitant strong activation of postsynaptic dopamine D1 receptors, which form complexes (heteromers) with dopamine D3 and adenosine A1 receptors. It also proposes that in DRBA-induced akathisia, increased dopamine release depends on inactivation of autoreceptors, whereas in RLS it depends on a brain iron deficiency-induced down-regulation of striatal presynaptic A1 receptors.

Abstract
Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is characterized by primary and secondary plasticity that occurs in response to progressive degeneration and long-term L-DOPA treatment. Some of this plasticity contributes to the detrimental side effects associated with chronic L-DOPA treatment, namely L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia (LID). The dopamine D3 receptor (D3R) has emerged as a promising target in LID management as it is upregulated in LID. This upregulation occurs primarily in the D1-receptor-bearing (D1R) cells of the striatum, which have been repeatedly implicated in LID manifestation. D3R undergoes dynamic changes both in PD and in LID, making it difficult to delineate D3R’s specific contributions, but recent genetic and pharmacologic tools have helped to clarify its role in LID. The following review will discuss these changes, recent advances to better clarify D3R in both PD and LID and potential steps for translating these findings.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the correlation between the Dopamine D3 receptor (DRD3) 3'untranslated region (3'UTR) gene polymorphism and susceptibility to Parkinson's disease (PD) and the clinical effect of the DRD2 and DRD3 agonist piribedil treatment. Methods: Sanger sequencing was used to analyze the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within the 3'UTR rs76126170, rs9868039, rs9817063, and rs3732790 loci of the DRD3 gene in 284 PD patients and 284 controls. PD patients were treated with piribedil sustained-release tablets (50 mg) combined with levodopa and benserazide hydrochloride tablets, three times daily (patients with first-diagnosed PD were only administrated with piribedil sustained-release tablets) for 3 months. The Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) and the Hoehn and Yahr disease stage were evaluated at baseline and after 3 months of treatment. Results: The T allele carriers of the DRD3 gene rs76126170 locus were more susceptible to PD than the C allele carriers (odds ratio [OR] = 3.44, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.46-4.80, p < 0.01). Carriers of the rs9868039 A allele had a decreased risk of PD compared to those with G allele (OR = 0.67, 95% CI: 0.53-0.86, p < 0.01). C allele carriers at rs9817063 were less likely to develop PD than those with T allele (OR = 0.74, 95% CI: 0.58-0.94, p = 0.02). No significant correlation was observed between the alleles or genotypes of the rs3732790 locus and PD susceptibility (p > 0.05). The various genotypes of the DRD3 gene loci rs76126170, rs9868039, and rs9817063 in PD patients were associated with significant differences with regard to reduction of UPDRS scores and Hoehn and Yahr stage after 3 months of treatment (p < 0.05). Conclusion: The alleles and genotypes of the DRD3 gene 3' UTR SNP loci rs76126170, rs9868039, and rs9817063 are associated with PD susceptibility and the clinical efficacy of piribedil treatment.

Abstract
Objective Dopamine D2‐like receptors – mainly dopamine D2 receptors (D2R) and dopamine D3 receptors (D3R) – are believed to be greatly involved in the pathology of Parkinson disease (PD) progression. However, these receptors have not been precisely examined in PD patients. Our aim was to quantitatively calculate the exact densities of dopamine D1 receptors (D1R), D2R, and D3R in control, Alzheimer disease (AD), and Lewy body disease (LBD) patients (including PD, Dementia with Lewy bodies, and Parkinson disease dementia); and analyze the relationship between dopamine receptors and clinical PD manifestations. Methods We analyzed the densities of D1R, D2R, and D3R in the striatum and substantia nigra (SN) using a novel quantitative autoradiography procedure previously developed by our group. We also examined the expression of D2R and D3R mRNA in the striatum by in situ hybridization. Results The results showed that although no differences of striatal D1R were found among all groups; D2R was significantly decreased in the striatum of PD patients when compared with control and AD patients. Some clinical manifestations: age of onset, PD stage, dopamine responsiveness, and survival time after onset; showed a better correlation with striatal D1R + D3R densities combined compared to D1R or D3R alone. Interpretation There is a possibility that we may infer the results in diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of PD by detecting D1R + D3R as opposed to using dopamine D1 or D3 receptors alone. This is especially true for elderly patients with low D2R expression as is common in this disease.

GABA storage and release in the medial globus pallidus in L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia priming. Neurobiol Dis 2020; 143:104979. [PMID: 32590036 DOI: 10.1016/j.nbd.2020.104979] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/09/2020] [Revised: 06/05/2020] [Accepted: 06/16/2020] [Indexed: 01/13/2023] Open
Abstract
Levo-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-DOPA) is the most effective treatment for Parkinson's disease; however, most patients develop uncontrollable abnormal involuntary movements known as L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia. L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia can be reduced by pallidotomy of the medial globus pallidus or pallidal deep brain stimulation, suggesting that the medial globus pallidus plays a significant role in the development of L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia. In the present study, the pathological changes of the medial globus pallidus in L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia were studied in rat models of Parkinson's disease (unilateral 6-hydroxydopamine lesioning) and L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia (L-DOPA injection in Parkinson's disease-model rats twice daily for 2 weeks, confirmed by display of dyskinesia-like abnormal involuntary movements). L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia-model rats displayed medial globus pallidus hypertrophy, enlarged axon terminals surrounding the dendrites of medial globus pallidus neurons, and increased density of synaptic vesicles in enlarged axon terminals on the lesioned side. Synaptic terminal enlargement reversed after discontinuation of L-DOPA. Histological studies revealed the enlarged synaptic terminals were those of GABAergic striatal (direct pathway) neurons. A single injection of L-DOPA enhanced GABA release in the medial globus pallidus on the lesioned side in L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia-model rats compared to Parkinson's disease-model rats. In addition, microinjection of muscimol, a GABAA receptor agonist, into the medial globus pallidus on the lesioned side of Parkinson's disease-model rats induced dyskinesia-like abnormal involuntary movements. Microinjection of bicuculline, a GABAA receptor antagonist, into the medial globus pallidus on the lesioned side alleviated L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia in Parkinson's disease-model rats that had received L-DOPA prior to the microinjection. These results indicate that priming for L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia comprises excessive GABA storage in axon terminals of the direct pathway and that expression of L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia is associated with enhanced GABA release into the medial globus pallidus after L-DOPA dosing and the resultant excessive stimulation of GABAA receptors.

Lower nucleus accumbens α-synuclein load and D3 receptor levels in Parkinson's disease with impulsive compulsive behaviours. Brain 2020; 142:3580-3591.

Abstract
Impulsive compulsive behaviours in Parkinson's disease have been linked to increased dopaminergic release in the ventral striatum and excessive stimulation of dopamine D3 receptors. Thirty-one patients with impulsive compulsive behaviours and Parkinson's disease who donated their brains to the Queen Square Brain Bank for Neurological Disorders were assessed for α-synuclein neuropathological load and tyrosine hydroxylase levels in the nucleus accumbens, dorsal putamen and caudate using immunohistochemistry. Dopamine D2 and dopamine D3 receptors protein levels in the nucleus accumbens, frontal cortex and putamen were determined using western blotting. Results were compared to 29 Parkinson's disease cases without impulsive compulsive behaviours matched by age, sex, disease duration, age at Parkinson's disease onset and disease duration. The majority of patients with impulsive compulsive behaviours had dopamine dysregulation syndrome. Patients with Parkinson's disease and impulsive compulsive behaviours had lower α-synuclein load and dopamine D3 receptor levels in the nucleus accumbens. No differences were seen between groups in the other brain areas and in the analysis of tyrosine hydroxylase and dopamine D2 receptor levels. Lower α-synuclein load in the nucleus accumbens of individuals with Parkinson's disease and impulsive compulsive behaviours was confirmed on western blotting. Downregulation of the dopamine D3 receptor levels may have occurred either as a consequence of the degenerative process or of a pre-morbid trait. The lower levels of α-synuclein may have contributed to an excessive stimulation of the ventral striatum resulting in impulsive compulsive behaviours.

J Pharmacol Exp Ther 2020; 374:113-125.

Abstract
IRL790 ([2-(3-fluoro-5-methanesulfonylphenoxy)ethyl](propyl)amine, mesdopetam) is a novel compound in development for the clinical management of motor and psychiatric disabilities in Parkinson disease. The discovery of IRL790 was made applying a systems pharmacology approach based on in vivo response profiling. The chemical design idea was to develop a new type of DA D3/D2 receptor type antagonist built on agonist rather than antagonist structural motifs. We hypothesized that such a dopamine antagonist with physicochemical properties similar to agonists would exert antidyskinetic and antipsychotic effects in states of dysregulated dopaminergic signaling while having little negative impact on physiologic dopamine transmission and, hence, minimal liability for side effects related to dopamine-dependent functions. At the level of in vivo pharmacology, IRL790 displays balancing effects on aberrant motor phenotypes, reducing l-DOPA-induced dyskinesias in the rodent 6-hydroxydopamine lesion model and reducing psychostimulant-induced locomotor hyperactivity elicited by pretreatment with either d-amphetamine or dizocilpine, without negatively impacting normal motor performance. Thus, IRL790 has the ability to normalize the behavioral phenotype in hyperdopaminergic as well as hypoglutamatergic states. Neurochemical and immediate early gene (IEG) response profiles suggest modulation of DA neurotransmission, with some features, such as increased DA metabolites and extracellular DA, shared by atypical antipsychotics and others, such as increased frontal cortex IEGs, unique to IRL790. IRL790 also increases extracellular levels of acetylcholine in the prefrontal cortex and ventral hippocampus. At the receptor level, IRL790 appears to act as a preferential DA D3 receptor antagonist. Computational docking studies support preferential affinity at D3 receptors with an agonist-like binding mode. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: This paper reports preclinical pharmacology along with molecular modeling results on IRL790, a novel compound in clinical development for the treatment of motor and psychiatric complications in advanced Parkinson disease. IRL790 is active in models of perturbed dopaminergic and glutamatergic signaling, including rodent 6-hydroxydopamine l-DOPA-induced dyskinesias and psychostimulant-induced hyperactivity, in a dose range that does not impair normal behavior. This effect profile is attributed to interactions at dopamine D2/D3 receptors, with a 6- to 8-fold preference for the D3 subtype.

Abstract
Parkinson disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by motor and non-motor symptoms which relentlessly and progressively lead to substantial disability and economic burden. Pathologically, these symptoms follow the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc) associated with abnormal α-synuclein (α-Syn) deposition as cytoplasmic inclusions called Lewy bodies in pigmented brainstem nuclei, and in dystrophic neurons in striatal and cortical regions (Lewy neurites). Pharmacotherapy for PD focuses on improving quality of life and primarily targets dopaminergic pathways. Dopamine acts through two families of receptors, dopamine D1-like and dopamine D2-like; dopamine D3 receptors (D3R) belong to dopamine D2 receptor (D2R) family. Although D3R's precise role in the pathophysiology and treatment of PD has not been determined, we present evidence suggesting an important role for D3R in the early development and occurrence of PD. Agonist activation of D3R increases dopamine concentration, decreases α-Syn accumulation, enhances secretion of brain derived neurotrophic factors (BDNF), ameliorates neuroinflammation, alleviates oxidative stress, promotes neurogenesis in the nigrostriatal pathway, interacts with D1R to reduce PD associated motor symptoms and ameliorates side effects of levodopa (L-DOPA) treatment. Furthermore, D3R mutations can predict PD age of onset and prognosis of PD treatment. The role of D3R in PD merits further research. This review elucidates the potential role of D3R in PD pathogenesis and therapy.

Abstract
In the majority of Parkinson's disease (PD) patients, long-term dopamine (DA) replacement therapy leads to dyskinesia characterized by abnormal involuntary movements (AIMs). There are various mechanisms of dyskinesia, such as the sensitization of striatal DA D1 receptors (D1R) and upregulation of DA D3 receptors (D3R). These receptors interact physically and functionally in D1R-bearing medium spiny neurons to synergistically drive dyskinesia. However, the cross-receptor-mediated effects due to D1R-D3R cooperativity are still poorly understood. In pursuit of this, we examined whether or not pharmacological D1R or D3R stimulation sensitizes the dyskinetic response to the appositional agonist, a process known as cross-sensitization. First, we established D1R-D3R behavioral synergy in a cohort of 6-OHDA-lesioned female adult Sprague-Dawley rats. Then, in a new cohort, we tested for cross-sensitization in a between-subject design. Five groups received a sub-chronic regimen of either saline, the D1R agonist SKF38393 (1.0 mg/kg), or the D3R agonist PD128907 (0.3 mg/kg). For the final injection, each group received an acute injection of the other agonist. AIMs were monitored following each injection. Sub-chronic administration of both SKF38393 and PD128907 induced the development of dyskinesia. More importantly, cross-agonism tests revealed reciprocal cross-sensitization; chronic treatment with either SKF38393 or PD128907 induced sensitization to a single administration of the other agonist. This reciprocity was not marked by changes to either D1R or D3R striatal mRNA expression. The current study provides key behavioral data demonstrating the role of D3R in dyskinesia and provides behavioral evidence of D1R and D3R functional interactions.

Severity of Dyskinesia and D3R Signaling Changes Induced by L-DOPA Treatment of Hemiparkinsonian Rats Are Features Inherent to the Treated Subjects. Biomolecules 2019; 9:biom9090431. [PMID: 31480516 PMCID: PMC6770442 DOI: 10.3390/biom9090431] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/18/2019] [Revised: 08/20/2019] [Accepted: 08/29/2019] [Indexed: 12/26/2022] Open
Abstract
Extensive damage to nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurons leads to Parkinson’s disease (PD). To date, the most effective treatment has been administration of levodopa (L-DOPA) to increase dopaminergic tone. This treatment leads to responses that vary widely among patients, from predominantly beneficial effects to the induction of disabling, abnormal movements (L-DOPA induced dyskinesia (LID)). Similarly, experimental studies have shown animals with widely different degrees of LID severity. In this study, unilateral injections of 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) in the medial forebrain bundle (MFB) produced more than 90% depletion of dopamine in both the striatum and the substantia nigra reticulata (SNr) of rats. Population analysis showed that dopamine depletion levels were clustered in a single population. In contrast, analysis of abnormal involuntary movements (AIMs) induced by L-DOPA treatment of 6-OHDA-lesioned animals yielded two populations: one with mild LID, and the other with severe LID, which are also related to different therapeutic responses. We examined whether the severity of LID correlated with changes in dopamine 3 receptor (D3R) signaling because of the following: (a) D3R expression and the induction of LID are strongly correlated; and (b) dopaminergic denervation induces a qualitative change in D3R signaling in the SNr. We found that the effects of D3R activation on cAMP accumulation and depolarization-induced [3H]-gamma-aminobutyric acid ([3H]-GABA) release were switched. L-DOPA treatment normalized the denervation-induced changes in animals with mild LID. The D3R activation caused depression of both dopamine 1 receptor (D1R)-induced increases in cAMP production and depolarization-induced [3H]-GABA release, which were reversed to their pre-denervation state. In animals with severe LID, none of the denervation-induced changes were reversed. The finding that in the absence of identifiable differences in 6-OHDA and L-DOPA treatment, two populations of animals with different D3R signaling and LIDs severity implies that mechanisms intrinsic to the treated subject determine the segregation.

Abstract
Dystonia and levodopa-induced dyskinesia (LID) are both hyperkinetic movement disorders. Dystonia arises most often spontaneously, although it may be seen after stroke, injury, or as a result of genetic causes. LID is associated with Parkinson's disease (PD), emerging as a consequence of chronic therapy with levodopa, and may be either dystonic or choreiform. LID and dystonia share important phenomenological properties and mechanisms. Both LID and dystonia are generated by an integrated circuit involving the cortex, basal ganglia, thalamus and cerebellum. They also share dysregulation of striatal cholinergic signaling and abnormalities of striatal synaptic plasticity. The long duration nature of both LID and dystonia suggests that there may be underlying epigenetic dysregulation as a proximate cause. While both may improve after interventions such as deep brain stimulation (DBS), neither currently has a satisfactory medical therapy, and many people are disabled by the symptoms of dystonia and LID. Further study of the fundamental mechanisms connecting these two disorders may lead to novel approaches to treatment or prevention.

Abstract
Several studies found in vitro evidence for heteromerization of dopamine D1 receptors (D1R) and D3 receptors (D3R), and it has been postulated that functional D1R-D3R heteromers that are normally present in the ventral striatum mediate synergistic locomotor-activating effects of D1R and D3R agonists in rodents. Based also on results obtained in vitro, with mammalian transfected cells, it has been hypothesized that those behavioral effects depend on a D1R-D3R heteromer-mediated G protein-independent signaling. Here, we demonstrate the presence on D1R-D3R heteromers in the mouse ventral striatum by using a synthetic peptide that selectively destabilizes D1R-D3R heteromers. Parallel locomotor activity and ex vivo experiments in reserpinized mice and in vitro experiments in D1R-D3R mammalian transfected cells were performed to dissect the signaling mechanisms of D1R-D3R heteromers. Co-administration of D1R and D3R agonists in reserpinized mice produced synergistic locomotor activation and a selective synergistic AKT phosphorylation in the most ventromedial region of the striatum in the shell of the nucleus accumbens. Application of the destabilizing peptide in transfected cells and in the shell of the nucleus accumbens allowed demonstrating that both in vitro and in vivo co-activation of D3R induces a switch from G protein-dependent to G protein-independent D1R-mediated signaling determined by D1R-D3R heteromerization. The results therefore demonstrate that a biased G protein-independent signaling of D1R-D3R heteromers localized in the shell of the nucleus accumbens mediate the locomotor synergistic effects of D1R and D3R agonists in reserpinized mice.

Abstract
3,4-Methylenedioxypyrovalerone (MDPV) acts as a dopamine transporter blocker and exerts powerful psychostimulant effects. In this study we aimed to investigate the bidirectional cross-sensitization between MDPV and cocaine, as well as to evaluate the role of the BDNF-TrkB signaling pathway in the development of locomotor sensitization to both drugs. Mice were treated with MDPV (1.5 mg/kg) or cocaine (10 or 15 mg/kg) once daily for 5 days. After withdrawal (10 days), animals were challenged with cocaine (8 mg/kg) or MDPV (1 mg/kg). For biochemical determinations, MDPV (1.5 mg/kg) or cocaine (15 mg/kg) were administered acutely or repeatedly, and BDNF, D3R and G9a transcription levels as well as pro- and mature BDNF protein levels were determined. Our results demonstrate that repeated administration of MDPV or cocaine sensitizes to cocaine and MDPV locomotor effects. After an acute or a repeated exposure to MDPV, cortical mRNA BDNF levels were increased, while a decrease in mBDNF protein levels in the nucleus accumbens 2 h after repeated exposure was evidenced. Interestingly, such decline was involved in the development of locomotor sensitization, thus the pretreatment with 7,8-dihydroxyflavone (10 mg/kg), a TrkB agonist, blocked the development of sensitization to MDPV but not to cocaine, for which no changes in the BDNF-TrkB signaling pathway were observed at early withdrawal. In conclusion, a bidirectional cross-sensitization between MDPV and cocaine was evidenced. Our findings suggest that decreased BDNF-TrkB signaling has an important role in the behavioral sensitization to MDPV, pointing TrkB modulation as a target to prevent MDPV sensitization.

Abstract
IRL790 is a novel compound with psychomotor stabilizing properties primarily targeting the dopamine D3 receptor. IRL790 is developed as an experimental treatment for levodopa-induced dyskinesia (LID), impulse control disorder, and psychosis in Parkinson's disease (PD). The primary objective was to investigate the safety and tolerability of IRL790 in PD patients with LID in a randomized controlled trial. PD patients with peak-dose dyskinesia were randomized to placebo or IRL790 treatment (1:3 ratio) for 4 weeks. Study drug was given as an adjunct treatment to the patients' regular stable antiparkinsonian medication. Dosing was individually titrated for 14 days, whereafter dosing was kept stable for an additional 14 days. Fifteen patients were randomized to treatment and 13 patients completed the 4-week treatment. Adverse events were mostly reported during the titration phase of the trial. They were mainly central nervous system related and could be mitigated by dose adjustments. There were no serious adverse events. There were no clinically significant changes in vital signs, electrocardiogram, and laboratory parameters due to the treatment. The average dose in the stable dose phase was 18 mg daily, yielding a 2-h post-dose plasma concentration of average 229 nM on day 28. Assessments for motor function showed a numeric reduction in dyskinesia. It is concluded that IRL790 can be safely administered to patients with advanced PD. The results will be of guidance for the design of phase 2 studies.

Abstract
This study aims to investigate the contribution of nigral dopaminergic (DA) cell loss, repeated exposure to DA medication and the combination of both to the development of neuropsychiatric symptoms observed in Parkinson's disease (PD). A bilateral 6-OHDA lesion of the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc) was performed in rats. A set of animals was repeatedly administered with L-dopa (20 mg/kg/day) and benserazide (5 mg/kg/day) over 10 days starting from day 11 post-lesion. Behavioural testing was performed in week 3 post-lesion: novel object recognition (NOR), elevated plus maze (EPM) social interaction (SI) tests, and amphetamine-induced hyperlocomotion (AIH). Immunohistochemical analysis revealed a significant partial lesion (48%) in 6-OHDA versus sham rats. This lesion was not associated with motor impairment. However, lesioned rats displayed a significant deficit in the NOR, which was reversed by acute treatment with l-dopa/benserazide (12.5 mg/kg and 15 mg/kg respectively). Lesioned rats also displayed a deficit in the EPM which was not reversed by acute treatment with l-dopa. No difference was observed in the SI test or in the AIH assay. In all assays, no effect of chronic l-dopa exposure was observed. This study provides new insights into the neuropathophysiology associated with neuropsychiatric symptoms of PD. Our data strongly emphasises a not previously clearly identified critical role in cognition for the SNc. The results suggest that DA pathways were less directly involved in lesion-induced anxiety-like behaviour. We did not report any effect of chronic l-dopa exposure in the context of partial nigral cell loss.

Abstract
Dopamine (DA)-replacement therapy utilizing l-DOPA is the gold standard symptomatic treatment for Parkinson's disease (PD). A critical complication of this therapy is the development of l-DOPA-induced dyskinesia (LID). The endogenous opioid peptides, including enkephalins and dynorphin, are co-transmitters of dopaminergic, GABAergic, and glutamatergic transmission in the direct and indirect striatal output pathways disrupted in PD, and alterations in expression levels of these peptides and their precursors have been implicated in LID genesis and expression. We have previously shown that the opioid glycopeptide drug MMP-2200 (a.k.a. Lactomorphin), a glycosylated derivative of Leu-enkephalin mediates potent behavioral effects in two rodent models of striatal DA depletion. In this study, the mixed mu-delta agonist MMP-2200 was investigated in standard preclinical rodent models of PD and of LID to evaluate its effects on abnormal involuntary movements (AIMs). MMP-2200 showed antiparkinsonian activity, while increasing l-DOPA-induced limb, axial, and oral (LAO) AIMs by ∼10%, and had no effect on dopamine receptor 1 (D1R)-induced LAO AIMs. In contrast, it markedly reduced dopamine receptor 2 (D2R)-like-induced LAO AIMs. The locomotor AIMs were reduced by MMP-2200 in all three conditions. The N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) antagonist MK-801 has previously been shown to be anti-dyskinetic, but only at doses that induce parkinsonism. When MMP-2200 was co-administered with MK-801, MK-801-induced pro-parkinsonian activity was suppressed, while a robust anti-dyskinetic effect remained. In summary, the opioid glycopeptide MMP-2200 reduced AIMs induced by a D2R-like agonist, and MMP-2200 modified the effect of MK-801 to result in a potent reduction of l-DOPA-induced AIMs without induction of parkinsonism.

Abstract
Individually, D1 and D3 dopamine receptors (D1R and D3R, respectively) have been implicated in L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia (LID). Of late, direct D1R-D3R interactions have been linked to LID yet remain enigmatic. Therefore, the current research sought to characterize consequences of putative D1R-D3R interactions in dyskinesia expression and in LID-associated downstream cellular signaling. To do so, adult male Sprague-Dawley hemi-parkinsonian rats were given daily L-DOPA (6 mg/kg; s.c.) for 2 weeks to establish stable LID, as measured via the abnormal voluntary movements (AIMs) scale. Thereafter, rats underwent dose-response AIMs testing for the D1R agonist SKF38393 (0, 0.3, 1.0, 3.0 mg/kg) and the D3R agonist, PD128907 (0, 0.1, 0.3, 1.0 mg/kg). Each agonist dose-dependently induced dyskinesia, implicating individual receptor involvement. More importantly, when threshold doses were co-administered, rats displayed synergistic exacerbation of dyskinesia. Interestingly, this observation was not mirrored in general locomotor behaviors, highlighting a potentially dyskinesia-specific effect. To illuminate the mechanisms by which D1R-D3R co-stimulation led to in vivo synergy, levels of striatal phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (pERK1/2) were quantified after administration of SKF38393 and/or PD128907. Combined agonist treatment synergistically drove striatal pERK1/2 expression. Together, these results support the presence of a functional, synergistic interaction between D1R and D3R that manifests both behaviorally and biochemically to drive dyskinesia in hemi-parkinsonian rats.

Abstract
The 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-treated nonhuman primate (NHP) has been described as the most translatable model for experimental reproduction of L-dopa-induced dyskinesia (LID). However, from a drug discovery perspective, the risk associated with investment in this type of model is high due to the time and cost. The 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) rat dyskinesia model is recommended for testing compounds but relies on onerous, and nonstandard behavioral rating scales. We sought to develop a simplified and sensitive method aiming at assessing LID in the rat. The purpose was to validate a reliable tool providing earlier insight into the antidyskinetic potential of compounds in a time/cost-effective manner before further investigation in NHP models. Unilaterally 6-OHDA-lesioned rats were administered L-dopa (20 mg/kg) and benserazide (5 mg/kg) daily for 3 weeks starting 4 weeks postlesion, then coadministered with amantadine (20-30-40 mg/kg). An adapted rating scale was used to score LID frequency and a severity coefficient was applied depending on the features of the observed behavior. A gradual increase (about 3-fold) in LID score was observed over the 3 weeks of L-dopa treatment. The rating scale was sensitive enough to highlight a dose-dependent amantadine-mediated decrease (about 2.2-fold) in LID score. We validated a simplified method, able to reflect different levels of severity in the assessment of LID and, thus, provide a reliable tool for drug discovery.

Abstract
In the search for efficacious pharmacotherapies to treat cocaine addiction much attention has been given to agents targeting dopamine D1 or D3 receptors because of the involvement of these receptors in drug-related behaviors. D1-like and D3 receptor partial agonists and antagonists have been shown to reduce drug reward, reinstatement of drug seeking and conditioned place preference in rodents and non-human primates. However, translation of these encouraging results to clinical settings has been limited due to a number of factors including toxicity, poor pharmacokinetic properties and extrapyramidal and sedative side effects. This review highlights the role of D1 and D3 receptors in drug reward and seeking, the discovery of D1-D3 heteromers and their potential as targets in the treatment of addiction.

Abstract
A large number of signaling abnormalities have been implicated in the emergence and expression of l-DOPA-induced dyskinesia (LID). The primary cause for many of these changes is the development of sensitization at dopamine receptors located on striatal projection neurons (SPN). This initial priming, which is particularly evident at the level of dopamine D1 receptors (D1R), can be viewed as a homeostatic response to dopamine depletion and is further exacerbated by chronic administration of l-DOPA, through a variety of mechanisms affecting various components of the G-protein-coupled receptor machinery. Sensitization of dopamine receptors in combination with pulsatile administration of l-DOPA leads to intermittent and coordinated hyperactivation of signal transduction cascades, ultimately resulting in long-term modifications of gene expression and protein synthesis. A detailed mapping of these pathological changes and of their involvement in LID has been produced during the last decade. According to this emerging picture, activation of sensitized D1R results in the stimulation of cAMP-dependent protein kinase and of the dopamine- and cAMP-regulated phosphoprotein of 32 kDa. This, in turn, activates the extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1 and 2 (ERK), leading to chromatin remodeling and aberrant gene transcription. Dysregulated ERK results also in the stimulation of the mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1, which promotes protein synthesis. Enhanced levels of multiple effector targets, including several transcription factors have been implicated in LID and associated changes in synaptic plasticity and morphology. This article provides an overview of the intracellular modifications occurring in SPN and associated with LID.

Abstract
The dopamine D3 receptor (D3R) belongs to the dopamine D2-like receptor family and is principally located in the ventral striatum. However, previous studies reported D3R overexpression in the dorsal striatum following l-DOPA treatment in parkinsonian animals. This fact has drawn attention in the importance of D3R in l-DOPA-induced dyskinesia (LID). Here, we used D3R knockout mice to assess the role of D3R in LID and rotational sensitization in the hemiparkinsonian model. Mice lacking D3R presented a reduction in dyskinesia without interfering with the antiparkinsonian l-DOPA effect and were accompanied by a reduction in the l-DOPA-induced rotations. Interestingly, deleting D3R attenuated important molecular markers in the D1R-neurons such as FosB, extracellular signal-regulated kinase, and histone-3 (H3)-activation. Colocalization studies in D1R-tomato and D2R-green fluorescent protein BAC-transgenic mice indicated that l-DOPA-induced D3R overexpression principally occurs in D1R-containing neurons although it is also present in the D2R-neurons. Moreover, D3R pharmacological blockade with PG01037 reduced dyskinesia and the molecular markers expressed in D1R-neurons. In addition, this antagonist further reduced dyskinetic symptoms in D1R heterozygous mice, indicating a direct interaction between D1R and D3R. Together, our results demonstrate that D3R modulates the development of dyskinesia by targeting D1R-mediated intracellular signaling and suggest that decreasing D3R activity may help to ameliorate LID.

Abstract
Impulsive-compulsive disorders in Parkinson's disease patients have been described as behavioural or substance addictions including pathological gambling or compulsive medication use of dopamine replacement therapy. A substantial gap remains in the understanding of these disorders. We previously demonstrated that the rewarding effect of the D2/D3 agonist pramipexole was enhanced after repeated exposure to L-dopa and alpha-synuclein mediated dopaminergic nigral loss with specific transcriptional signatures suggesting a key involvement of the glutamatergic pathway. Here, we further investigate the therapeutic potential of metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 antagonism in Parkinson's disease/dopamine replacement therapy related bias of reward-mediated associative learning. We identified protein changes underlying the striatal remodelling associated with the pramipexole-induced conditioned place preference. Acquisition and expression of the pramipexole-induced conditioned place preference were abolished by the metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 antagonist 2-methyl-6-phenylethynyl (pyridine) (conditioned place preference scores obtained with pramipexole conditioning were reduced by 12.5% and 125.8% when 2-methyl-6-phenylethynyl (pyridine) was co-administrated with pramipexole or after the pramipexole conditioning, respectively). Up-regulation of the metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 was found in the dorsomedial-striatum and nucleus accumbens core. Activation of these two brain sub-regions was also highlighted through FosB immunohistochemistry. Convergent molecular and pharmacological data further suggests metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 as a promising therapeutic target for the management of Parkinson's disease/dopamine replacement therapy related reward bias.

Abstract
Dopamine D3 receptors (D3R) modulate neuronal activity in several brain regions including cortex, striatum, cerebellum, and hippocampus. A growing body of evidence suggests that aberrant D3R signaling contributes to multiple brain diseases, such as Parkinson’s disease, essential tremor, schizophrenia, and addiction. In line with these findings, D3R has emerged as a potential target in the treatment of neurological disorders. However, the mechanisms underlying neuronal D3R signaling are poorly understood, either in healthy or diseased brain. Here, I review the molecular mechanisms involved in D3R signaling via monomeric D3R and heteromeric receptor complexes (e.g., D3R-D1R, D3R-D2R, D3R-A2aR, and D3R-D3nf). I focus on D3R signaling pathways that, according to recent reports, contribute to pathological brain states. In particular, I describe evidence on both quantitative (e.g., increased number or affinity) and qualitative (e.g., switched signaling) changes in D3R that has been associated with brain dysfunction. I conclude with a description of basic mechanisms that modulate D3R signaling such as desensitization, as disruption of these mechanisms may underlie pathological changes in D3R signaling. Because several lines of evidence support the idea that imbalances in D3R signaling alter neural function, a better understanding of downstream D3R pathways is likely to reveal novel therapeutic strategies toward dopamine-related brain disorders.

Abstract
In addition to its role in neuronal survival, the brain neurotrophic factor (BDNF) has been shown to influence serotonin transmission and synaptic plasticity, events strongly implicated in the appearance of l-DOPA-induced dyskinesia (LID), a motor complication occurring in parkinsonian patients after long-term treatment with the dopamine precursor. In order to evaluate a possible influence of BDNF in the appearance of LID, 6-OHDA-lesioned rats received a striatal injection of different concentrations of an adeno-associated viral (AAV) vector over-expressing either BDNF or GFP, as control vector. Eight weeks later, animals started to receive a daily treatment with l-DOPA (4-6mg/kg plus benserazide 4-6mg/kg, s.c.) or saline, and dyskinesias, as well as l-DOPA-induced rotations, were evaluated at several time-points. Moreover, molecular changes in striatal D1 receptor-dependent cAMP/PKA and ERK/mTORC signaling pathways, as well as, sprouting of striatal serotonin axons, were measured. Results showed that the AAV-BDNF vector injection induced striatal over-expression of BDNF, as well as striatal and pallidal serotonin axon hyperinnervation. Moreover, rats that over-expressed BDNF were more prone to develop LID and l-DOPA-induced rotations, compared to the GFP-treated control group. Finally, rats that over-expressed BDNF showed increased levels of striatal D1R-dependent signaling phospho-proteins in response to l-DOPA administration. This study suggests that BDNF over-expression, by inducing changes in pre-synaptic serotonin axonal trophism, is able to exacerbate maladaptive responses to l-DOPA administration.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Alterations in dopamine neurotransmission has been implicated in pathophysiology of neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders, and DARPP-32 plays a pivotal role in dopamine neurotransmission. DARPP-32 likely influences dopamine-mediated behaviors in animal models of neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders and therapeutic effects of pharmacological treatment. Areas covered: We will review animal studies on the biochemical and behavioral roles of DARPP-32 in drug addiction, schizophrenia and Parkinson's disease. In general, under physiological and pathophysiological conditions, DARPP-32 in D1 receptor expressing (D1R) -medium spiny neurons (MSNs) promotes dopamine/D1 receptor/PKA signaling, whereas DARPP-32 in D2 receptor expressing (D2R)-MSNs counteracts dopamine/D2 receptor signaling. However, the function of DARPP-32 is differentially regulated in acute and chronic phases of drug addiction; DARPP-32 enhances D1 receptor/PKA signaling in the acute phase, whereas DARPP-32 suppresses D1 receptor/PKA signaling in the chronic phase through homeostatic mechanisms. Therefore, DARPP-32 plays a bidirectional role in dopamine neurotransmission, depending on the cell type and experimental conditions, and is involved in dopamine-related behavioral abnormalities. Expert opinion: DARPP-32 differentially regulates dopamine signaling in D1R- and D2R-MSNs, and a shift of balance between D1R- and D2R-MSN function is associated with behavioral abnormalities. An adjustment of this imbalance is achieved by therapeutic approaches targeting DARPP-32-related signaling molecules.

Abstract
RATIONALE Impulsive-compulsive disorders (ICD) in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) have been described as behavioral or substance addictions including hypersexuality, gambling, or compulsive medication use of the dopamine replacement therapy (DRT). OBJECTIVES A remaining challenge is to understand the neuroadaptations leading to reward bias in PD patients under DRT. METHODS To this end, the appetitive effect of the D2/D3 agonist pramipexole was assessed after chronic exposure to L-dopa in an alpha-synuclein PD rat model. RESULTS Association of progressive nigral loss and chronic L-dopa was required to observe a pramipexole-induced place preference. This behavioral outcome was inhibited by metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5) antagonism while transcriptional profiling highlighted regulations potentially related to the context of psychostimulant addiction. CONCLUSION This study provides evidences strongly suggesting that PD-like lesion and L-dopa therapy were concomitant factors involved in striatal remodeling underlying the pramipexole-induced place preference. Molecular and pharmacological data suggest a key involvement of the glutamatergic pathway in this behavioral outcome.

Abstract
RATIONALE Animal research has demonstrated a role of dopamine D1 and D3 receptors in cocaine reward and seeking. PURPOSE AND METHODS Here, we investigated the potential interaction of these two dopamine receptors in cue-induced reinstatement of cocaine seeking, cocaine conditioned place preference (CPP), and cocaine self-administration in rats. RESULTS The co-administration of a D3 receptor antagonist, NGB 2904 and a D1 partial agonist, SKF 77434, of doses which when administered individually produced no significant effects, prior to reinstatement or CPP tests significantly reduced lever pressing and time spent in the cocaine-paired environment, suggesting synergistic effects of the combined compounds on cocaine seeking. When given to rats self-administering cocaine under a progressive ratio schedule of reinforcement doses of NGB 2904 which were ineffective alone significantly enhanced the break point-reducing effects of SKF 77434. CONCLUSIONS Our results indicate that the combined treatment with a D1 receptor partial agonist and D3 receptor antagonist produces robust decreases in cocaine seeking and reward. This suggests an interaction between dopamine D1 and D3 receptors in cocaine-related behaviors.

Abstract
Rodent models of l-DOPA-induced dyskinesia (LID) are essential to investigate pathophysiological mechanisms and treatment options. Ratings of abnormal involuntary movements (AIMs) are used to capture both qualitative and quantitative features of dyskinetic behaviors. Thus far, validated rating scales for the mouse have anchored the definition of severity to the time during which AIMs are present. Here we have asked whether the severity of axial, limb, and orolingual AIMs can be objectively assessed with scores based on movement amplitude. Mice sustained 6-OHDA lesions in the medial forebrain bundle and were treated with l-DOPA (3-6mg/kg/day) until they developed stable AIMs scores. Two independent investigators rated AIM severity using both the validated time-based scale and a novel amplitude scale, evaluating the degree of deviation of dyskinetic body parts relative to their resting position. The amplitude scale yielded a high degree of consistency both within- and between raters. Thus, time-based scores, amplitude scores, and a combination of the two ('global AIM scores') were applied to compare antidyskinetic effects produced by amantadine and by the following subtype-specific DA receptor antagonists: SCH23390 (D1/D5), Raclopride (D2/D3), PG01037 (D3), L-745,870 (D4), and VU6004461 (D4). SCH23390 and Raclopride produced similarly robust reductions in both time-based scores and amplitude scores, while PG01037 and L-745,870 had more partial effects. Interestingly, a novel and highly brain penetrable D4 receptor antagonist (VU6004461) markedly attenuated both time-based and amplitude scores without diminishing the general motor stimulant effect of l-DOPA. In summary, our results show that a dyskinesia scale combining a time dimension with an amplitude dimension ('global AIMs') is more sensitive than unidimensional scales. Moreover, the antidyskinetic effects produced by two chemically distinct D4 antagonists identify the D4 receptor as a potential future target for the treatment of LID.
