    Notizen: Summary Quinolinic acid (QA) and related excitotoxins produce a pattern of neuronal loss and neurochemical changes in the rat striatum similar to that of patients suffering from Huntington's disease, suggesting neurotoxicity is important in the etiology of that disease. Thus, strategies for limiting excitotoxin-induced striatal damage, like that caused by QA, may be of great benefit to these individuals. Accordingly, we tested the ability of both neural and non-neural tissue implants to protect the rat striatum against a subsequent QA challenge. Our results demonstrated that recipients of fetal striatal grafts were significantly less affected by striatal injections of QA than non-grafted animals. In contrast to the latter, fetal striatal tissue recipients did not exhibit apomorphine-induced rotation behavior and showed a sparing of cholinergic and enkephalinergic systems normally lost following QA injections. Animals grafted with adult rat sciatic nerve, adrenal medulla or adipose tissue all showed a less dramatic behavioral protection and sparing of cholinergic and enkephalinergic systems. These results suggest that fetal striatal tissue exerts an optimal, and perhaps specific protective influence on the host brain.

    Notizen: Summary Fetal substantia nigra (SN) cells were transplanted into the caudate nucleus (CN) of four vervet monkeys (Cercopithecus aethiops sabaeus) that had been treated with 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP). MPTP treatment appears to produce a syndrome similar to that observed in patients with idiopathic Parkinson's disease. Normal and parkinsonian behaviors were quantitated by trained observers 5 days/week. Twenty-eight behaviors based on previous factor analyses were individually scored and rated. Parkinsonian signs included freezing, head and limb tremor, difficulty in eating, delayed initiation of movement, poverty of movement, tremor that stopped with intention, decreased response to threats, and lying immobile in the cage. These signs were combined to give an overall rating of parkinsonism. A summary measure of ‘normal’ healthy behavior was also examined, including such behaviors as yawning, scratching, self-grooming, shifting, and eating. Overall ratings of parkinsonism increased and those of healthy behavior decreased after MPTP. In the 4 monkeys grafted with fetal SN cells into the CN, behavior returned to pre-treatment levels by the time of sacrifice (2, 5, or 7.5 months after grafting). Three control subjects were transplanted with either SN cells into an inappropriate brain site (cortex) or inappropriate, non-dopaminergic, cells (cerebellar) into the CN. Subjects were also compared with three control animals that did not receive MPTP but received cryopreserved or fresh SN and other cells into the CN. Only MPTP-treated subjects that received SN cells into the CN showed evidence of a reversal of the MPTP syndrome after transplantation. In addition, grafting in animals that were not MPTP-treated did not appear to affect behavior. This paper reports the specific behavioral effects of severe MPTP toxicity that were or were not reversed after transplantation and suggests that only fetal SN cells grafted into the CN may be able to reverse behavioral deficits in MPTP-treated monkeys.

    Notizen: Summary The effect of chronic levodopa treatment on the function of embryonic mesencephalic tissue grafts was assessed in rats by monitoring rotational behavior elicited by dopamine (DA) agonists before and after neural grafting. Rats were given unilateral 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) lesions of the nigrostriatal pathway and baseline measures of rotational behavior induced by D1 receptor stimulation, D2 receptor stimulation, or amphetamine were determined. Subsequently, DA grafts were implanted into the lesioned striatum and chronic regimens of either saline or levodopa began one day after neural grafting and were continued for 7 weeks. Rotational behavior elicited by the D1 agonist, SKF 38393, was completely attenuated throughout the six week-period following the commencement of levodopa treatment, regardless of the absence or presence of a DA graft. Conversely, rotational behavior elicited by the D2 agonist, quinpirole, was significantly elevated in ungrafted animals receiving chronic levodopa. Grafted animals receiving chronic levodopa did not show a significant reduction in rotational behavior, whereas grafted animals receiving chronic saline showed a significant 67% reduction in quinpirole-induced rotational behavior. Amphetamine-induced rotational behavior was reduced in both levodopa and saline treated grafted animals, however grafted animals receiving chronic levodopa treatment showed a reduction of rotational behavior that was uncharacteristic and less compensatory than that observed in grafted animals receiving chronic saline treatment. Morphology of grafts indicate that there were areas of impaired neurite outgrowth of TH-positive fibers in animals treated with levodopa. The results of the present study suggest that the impaired recovery in quinpirole and amphetamine-induced rotational behavior in grafted animals receiving chronic levodopa treatment may be related to (1) impaired graft function, (2) an alteration in pre- and postsynaptic mechanisms in the host DAergic system, or (3) a combined effect of (1) and (2).
