Inhibiting BDNF expression by antisense oligonucleotide infusion causes loss of nigral dopaminergic neurons
Abstract
Brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) expression is significantly reduced in the Parkinson's disease substantia nigra. This neurotrophin has potent affects on dopaminergic neuron survival protecting them from the neurotoxins MPTP and 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) commonly used to create animal models of Parkinson's disease and also promoting dopaminergic axonal sprouting. In this study, we demonstrate that an antisense oligonucleotide infusion (200 nM for 28 days) to prevent BDNF production in the substantia nigra of rats mimics many features of the classical animal models of Parkinson's disease. 62% of antisense treated rats rotate (P < or = 0.05) in response to dopaminergic receptor stimulation by apomorphine. 40% of substantia nigra pars compacta tyrosine hydroxylase immunoreactive neurons are lost (P < or = 0.00001) and dopamine uptake site density measured by (3)H-mazindol autoradiography is reduced by 34% (P < or = 0.005). Loss of haematoxylin and eosin stained nigral neurons is significant (P < or = 0.0001) but less extensive (34%). These observations indicate that loss of BDNF expression leads both to down regulation of the dopaminergic phenotype and to dopaminergic neuronal death. Therefore, reduced BDNF mRNA expression in Parkinson's disease substantia nigra may contribute directly to the death of nigral dopaminergic neurons and the development of Parkinson's disease.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
