Striatal Responses to Partial Dopaminergic Lesion: Evidence for Compensatory Sprouting
David D. Song2 and Suzanne N. Haber1, 2 1 Department of Neurobiology and Anatomy, and 2 Department of Neurology, University of Rochester School of Medicine, Rochester, New York 14642
Dopaminergic lesions result in the acute loss of striatal dopamine content, the loss of tyrosine hydroxylase-immunoreactive fibers, upregulation of preproenkephalin mRNA expression, and compensatory changes in the synthesis and metabolism of dopamine. Despite the severe loss of fine tyrosine hydroxylase-immunoreactive fibers, larger fibers persist. We found that some tyrosine hydroxylase fiber types increase their branching and become thicker after partial lesion. To determine whether the remaining tyrosine hydroxylase fibers were degenerative or part of a compensatory response, we morphologically characterized striatal tyrosine hydroxylase fibers and compared them to silver-stained degenerative structures. Branched and large tyrosine hydroxylase fiber types were nondegenerative. Furthermore, normal preproenkephalin mRNA expression was maintained despite severe overall loss of tyrosine hydroxylase fibers in striatal regions with abundant branching, whereas preproenkephalin mRNA expression increased in severely depleted regions that lacked branched fibers, indicating that branching or sprouting was involved in the compensation for dopamine depletion and the maintenance of normal preproenkephalin expression. In support of compensatory sprouting by tyrosine hydroxylase fibers, mRNA for growth associated protein-43 was upregulated in dopaminergic midbrain cells. We conclude that an important compensatory response to partial dopaminergic depletion is the formation of new branches or sprouting.
